Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

"Investigation into Craig Wright's claims about the secp256k1 curve used in Bitcoin's elliptic curve cryptography being suitable for bi-linear pairings."
So it's just telling you how to turn data into curve points for many different curves. For secp256k1 Shallue-Woestijne is normally used, as I believe it's the fastest of the options.

MicroStrategy has purchased an additional ~19,452 bitcoins for ~$1.026 billion in cash at an average price of ~$52,765 per #bitcoin.
It uses this code but it's still a bit raw, there isn't like a simple tool you can use to make/verify these proofs yet.
