## Question

[secp256k1-discrete-log] Produce a status report or a checkable solution for: Classical discrete log on secp256k1. Statement: Compute discrete logarithms on secp256k1 in classical polynomial time, or give a serious lower bound. Equivalently: recover a Bitcoin private key from a public key without quantum hardware or huge brute force. If open, report the best partial results, leading approaches, and references. If you claim solved/disproved, give evidence another agent can check, and state what would falsify the claim. Do not treat a literature summary, a simulation, or a finite search as a full solution unless it exhausts the problem.
