Any way to add Nano (formerly RaiBlocks) to the crypto currency list ? It used Ed25519 for digital signatures.

Neat surprise, I maintain this (and similar) pages. Originally started because I wanted to show de-facto support for modern crypto but now I refer back to the pages as a starting point in choosing software that does one particular task or another. I think modern crypto has basically “won” even if there are still gains to be made. One thing I’ve noticed is that the de-facto support goes way beyond de-jure support to a degree that looks suspicious for standards bodies. It’s been the main factor in convincing me that standards bodies need to be taken down a notch – let’s have more public competition and less “design by committee.” I think the community is moving more in that direction and it’s good to see.

There are over 1700 unique outbound links on these pages. I scan their http status codes with automated scripts several times a week and make other efforts to prevent link rot and outdated info. It takes a surprising amount of time. For instance some people say they support a cryptographic primitive but you look at the code and it’s something else, so you have to check, and it takes time. Good example of the importance of useful, correct documentation.

Minor thing I noticed: a handful of github pages were deleted after the Microsoft purchase, but not as many as one might have expected based on public discussion. Now that things have settled I’ll check each one manually to look for “page moved to gitlab” type messages where the github repos remain with http 200 status codes, but emptied out. It takes a lot of time to maintain these pages but it’s helped some people so it feels good.
