- skrebbel 13y agoHardly, because it's not about scrypt itself but about how (according to the author) the library's API encourages incorrect usage. A reader of your comment might assume that the article is about some perceived flaw in scrypt itself.
- cordite 13y agoI can see that perspective. I could have made it more clear. I see it as it being more about incorrect usage or application, rather than a fault with scrypt.
- tptacek 13y agoNo, it's not relevant to this discussion at all.
