Hi Folks,

first of all congratulation to the Argon Team. Alex and Dimitry did a
great job.

I think PHC was very successful since it  has pushed the boundaries of
password hashing and created some of the innovations that hopefully make
the vast majority of adversaries quite unhappy. :-)
 
Last but not least, special thanks to all PHC contributors and the panel
of experts, especial to Jean-Philippe.

Best regards,
Christian
