I'd like to see the non-LTS version of node in 8.x move to OpenSSL 1.1 and expose more: scrypt, schnorr, curve25591, bn etc. There is no good internal password

I'd like to see the non-LTS version of node in 8.x move to OpenSSL 1.1 and expose more: scrypt, schnorr, curve25591, bn etc. There is no good internal password storage, and bitcoin operations require bringing in most libs

  Not sure if you read that issue because it was closed as it depends on OpenSSL 1.1. Fire up 8.8.0 and you'll find crypto.scrypt is undefined. nodejs will have to get the OpenSSL 1.1 upgrade in as the support period for nodejs 8.x exceeds the support period for OpenSSL 1.0.x First attempt was made here[0] [0] https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/11828 https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/11828

    "Not sure if you read that issue because it was closed as it depends on OpenSSL 1.1." Sure, I opened the issue. I provided the link so you can follow it. It would be great to have scrypt in Node, as well as argon2 and DJB's chacha20+poly1305.
