user106731: From what I understood are these the coordinates of basepoint G of Secp256K1 on the Elliptic Curve, in hexadecimal and decimal format.
Hexadecimal
Gx = (79BE667E F9DCBBAC 55A06295 CE870B07 029BFCDB 2DCE28D9 59F2815B 16F81798)

What I don't understand is that if I enter these values in the corresponding equation (y² = x³ + 7) as below, it seems that point G isn't on the curve at all. But it should, right? So what do I wrong?
