Slow encryption process on IE and Firefox #14

Closed Christewart closed 7 years ago

Is there any way to get around the slow encryption process on IE or Mozilla? It takes like 30 to 60 seconds for the encryption to complete.

Yes, the underlying scrypt implementation could be optimized: https://github.com/cryptocoinjs/scryptsy/issues/3 If you don't care about being bip38 compliant, but you still care about the encryption, you could alter the scryptParams as seen here: https://github.com/bitcoinjs/bip38#scryptparams
