title: What's the advantage of scrypt over bcrypt?
body: <p>I'm looking at ways to securely store passwords. Some people claim that scrypt is "better" than bcrypt, and so far I've seen nobody who claims vice versa or that scrypt is insecure, though some call bcrypt "more reputable".</p>
  
  <p>What's the advantage of scrypt over bcrypt? According to the scrypt website, "the cost of a hardware brute-force attack against scrypt is roughly 4000 times greater than the cost of a similar attack against bcrypt". If that's the only advantage then can't I just use bcrypt with a larger number of rounds?</p>
