04:21 < Jimmy_> in secp256k1, G (generator) is given, how does one create a private from it?
04:21 < Jimmy_> private key*
04:42 < sipa> you can't
04:42 < sipa> you randomly generate a private key
04:43 < sipa> and then multiply it with G to obtain a public key
04:43 < Jimmy_> is there a specific rng algorithm they use to produce the random number?
04:44 < Jimmy_> because in a code written by one of the phd students, he used G=EcGroup(); priv_dec = G.order().random()
04:45 < Jimmy_> i guess the G.order() was just the seed
04:45 < sipa> no     
04:45 < sipa> it's the range
04:46 < sipa> a private key is within the range 1 through order-1, inclusive
04:46 < Jimmy_> right, my mistake, thanks for clearing that up
