Is there a limit to the number of Bitcoin addresses?

Is there a limit to the number of Bitcoin addresses? And if so, what stops someone from making all these addresses and holding the private keys for them so no one else can make a new public key?

Nonce usage in ECDSA signing algorithm

Nonce usage in ECDSA signing algorithm I'm trying to understand the signing function secp256k1_ecdsa_sig_sign(), and I'm curious about the nonce usage here. static int secp256k1_ecdsa_sig_sign(const secp256k1_ecmult_gen_context *ctx, secp256k1_scalar *sigr, secp256k1_scalar *sigs, const secp256k1_scalar *seckey, const secp256k1_scalar *message, const secp256k1_scalar *nonce, int *recid) { unsigned char b[32]; secp256k1_gej rp; secp256k1_ge r; secp256k1_scalar n; int overflow = 0; secp256k1_ecmult_gen(ctx, &rp, nonce); secp256k1_ge_set_gej(&r, &rp); secp256k1_fe_normalize(&r.x); secp256k1_fe_normalize(&r.y); secp256k1_fe_get_b32(b, &r.x); secp256k1_scalar_set_b32(sigr, b, &overflow); /* These two conditions should be checked before calling */ VERIFY_CHECK(!secp256k1_scalar_is_zero(sigr)); VERIFY_CHECK(overflow == 0); if (recid) { /* The overflow condition is cryptographically unreachable as hitting it requires f...
