How can I determine if a point on the secp256k1 curve was derived using point addition or point doubling? – Beragampengetahuan

I am working with the secp256k1 elliptic curve and I have a point Q on the curve. I am trying to determine whether this point Q was derived using the point addition formula or the point doubling formula.

I have tried calculating the point addition of Q with itself (Q + Q) using the point addition formula and also calculating the point doubling of Q (2Q) using the point doubling formula. However, these calculations always result in the same point.

Is there any way to determine the derivation method of a given point on the secp256k1 curve? Are there any additional steps or techniques that can help me differentiate between point addition and point doubling?

Any guidance or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
