// The "compact" format is a representation of a whole
// number N using an unsigned 32bit number similar to a
// floating point format.
// The most significant 8 bits are the unsigned exponent of base 256.
// This exponent can be thought of as "number of bytes of N".
// The lower 23 bits are the mantissa.
// Bit number 24 (0x800000) represents the sign of N.
// N = (-1^sign) * mantissa * 256^(exponent-3)
//
// Satoshi's original implementation used BN_bn2mpi() and BN_mpi2bn().
// MPI uses the most significant bit of the first byte as sign.
// Thus 0x1234560000 is compact (0x05123456)
// and 0xc0de000000 is compact (0x0600c0de)
// (0x05c0de00) would be -0x40de000000
//
// Bitcoin only uses this "compact" format for encoding difficulty
// targets, which are unsigned 256bit quantities. Thus, all the
// complexities of the sign bit and using base 256 are probably an
// implementation accident.
//
// This implementation directly uses shifts instead of going
// through an intermediate MPI representation.
