 Todo before release. Excuse the mess.
 
 - prioritization for mining.
-- switch entirely to secp256k1-node. bad for payment-protocol and ec.random
-  (add crypto/random.js).
+- switch entirely to secp256k1-node. note that payment-protocol still directly
+  requires elliptic.
 - walletdb removes coins from txs - potentially have it clone the tx (slower).
-- move siphash to utils?
 - refactor and add all network packets.
 - rename keyring object.
 - browser-side dsa signing/verify for payment-protocol.
-- add preliminary support for schnorr and bls signatures.
-- potentially rewrite walletdb to avoid O(n) complexity for tx insertion to
-  multiple wallets (n=number-of-wallets-mapped: 1 in the average case, 2 in
-  average worst case, potentially thousands in bullshit worst case). doing
-  this, we would lose fast iteration over txs, coins, and undo coins.
 - do not output bitcoin strings (utils.btc) on the api layer. use satoshis
   instead.
-- upgrade to leveldb 1.19.
-- bindings to asm chacha20+poly1305.
-- bindings to asm sha256 (use webgl shader in browser).
 - implement jl's latest MAST.
 - rewrite readme. move examples to wiki.
 - fix docs.
 - implement rpc calls:
-  - backupwallet
   - listaddressgroupings
   - importaddress (maybe)
-- rename cost to weight.
 - man pages
