Hash: SHA1

In case there is too much to read, here's my scorecard from my the
review per day so far (RIG through Yescript):

Better than Scrypt

- - TwoCats
- - Yescrypt

Good algorithms, but worse than Scrypt

- - Yarn

Dangerously insecure

- - RIG
- - Schvrch
- - Tortuga



I also am tracking 5 categories of algorithm, and here's my current
favorites (including ones I need to review in more depth):

- - Script replacement category: Yescrypt
- - Bcrypt replacement category: PufferFish
- - Catena-like: Catena
- - Authentication server category: Yescrypt
- - Other: Makwa

Yescrypt wins authentication server and Scrypt replacement, and it
competes OK in Bcrypt replacement in performance, though it's
complexity makes it not very bcrypt-like.  It's still the leading
contender in my view.
