Hi,

I took python-bitcointx from irc DPT topic. I leave some comments:

- My only concern that use an old libsecp25b6k1
- d/control: Priority as optional may be optional
- d/copyright: Please review copyright holders. Following the current copyright
  file i.e. the file bitcointx/core/key.py should have all holders you mentioned
  in Files: *, but only Sam Rushing, The python-bitcoinlib developers, and
  python-bitcointx developers are the copyright holders.
- LICENSE and setup.py mention that the license is LGPL-3+, but why do declare
  all files as Expat?

Please let me know when you have new version to review.
