What is your rationale behind usage of scrypt instead of argon2? Is it performance issues?
Today someone asked me if Signet used Argon as the hashing algorithm. I knew it was a good algorithm when I looked, but I wasn't 100% sure. So I dug up a code reference.
Benny, if you see this, no, it uses scrypt.

For any non-crypto people, the punchline is this: "scrypt is maximally hard against brute force attacks"
