    Your statement reads as if you're bothered by the lack of usage / credit towards `bthread`? (Sincere question...) You write excellent code, most notably `elliptic`; your work on No…

    What do you mean? In this context, Scrypt is only relevant to the mining algorithm. As far as writing code for other coins, usually it's just a simple as changing a constant for th…
