I've been wondering if it would be helpful to include a "Cryptography" child forum to the "Development & Technical Discussion" forum. I'm in the process of learning some elliptic curve cryptography, and I have some questions that are fairly cryptography theory-oriented, and I feel they would fit better in a subforum dedicated to cryptography, than to this forum which mainly concerns the client, and the protocol and software surrounding it.

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

Good idea, but I'm not sure that dev & tech is the appropriate parent board.

I routinely ignore posters with paid advertising in their sigs.  You should too.

Perhaps a completely separate parent board, or what do you have in mind?

I'm not sure.  Off-topic, maybe?  Or maybe a full non-child board under Other.
