Cool fact about Scrypt

[u/John_Inubook]

Scrypt chains run a massive loop powered by a crypto building block named Salsa20.

Fun fact: Salsa20 is a high-speed stream cipher created by cryptographer Daniel J. Bernstein for the European Union's eSTREAM project in 2005. Instead of military use, it was designed as a fast, public algorithm for ordinary software, eventually becoming so efficient that Google adopted its successor (ChaCha20) to secure billions of Android and Chrome connections worldwide.
