Looking at the BIP32 definition, I hit a line that I would appreciate
clarification on.
https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0032.mediawiki
Under the section "Private parent key =E2=86=92 private child key" there is=
a step:
"The returned child key ki is parse256(IL) + kpar (mod n)."
Can someone help me understand what "n" is in the context of this
algorithm? I very well could be looking right at it, but wanted to double
check if I am missing something.
Thanks,
James
