VC issuing tool key encoding problems

[kimdhamilton]

from @ChristopherA : One thing to be aware of here is some standardization work around the EcdsaSecp256k1Signature2019 signature suite: digitalbazaar/jsonld-signatures#74 (comment)

(Happy to help out / answer questions on this)

Okay I think I got this to work now, with bitcoin private/public keys. I'll reproduce and document my steps within the next hour or two.

[dmitrizagidulin]

Excellent.

I also want to point to the newly updated docs in vc-js, specifically the key generation section, which includes ecdsa keys. I'll be working to reconcile that with the work at w3c-ccg/lds-ecdsa-secp256k1-2019#2, as well.

Thanks a lot @dmitrizagidulin

Looks like I was able to sign (and then verify) using vc-demo from an existing bitcoin wif/private key - documented my steps here - https://gist.github.com/AnthonyRonning/9e83ae7e0e208320b244f727cde545d7

Though noting that this is more so for hacking & testing purposes for this week's btcr hackathon, surely not official recommended steps.
