So how is this helpful then? Or did I miss something?
yes you miss

per console key and public key are making the signature (see ecuation for signature)

so (x) (y) = signature

this ecuation can be resolve because you have 2 unknown

but if you have per console key you can find out the public key

until now nobody know how to get the per console key

we need more experiments
