Hi John-

I’m reading the report:

>>> We moved all of the crypto code to a new organisation on GitHub called
>>> milagro-crypto ( https://github.com/milagro-crypto ).
>>> It is hoped this will enable further engagement with the community and
>>> specifically their involvement in developing the crypto code in other
>>> languages.

Regards,
Dave
