OK, if you were in control of the hashing algorithm used by Bitcoin, which one would you use and why?

I would use one that was not the product of the nsa, for reasons already given.

Which one? Give a concrete answer.

That is another example of the fallacies being used to defend sha in bitcoin.

Is it not enough that I do not want to use an algorithm that was developed for and promoted by an intelligence gathering agency that for decades has used its data mainly for overseas repression?

I am not a cryptographer.

I am a person who does not want to support cryptography that will be used to target innocent people.

Are there really no options other than using an nsa algorithm?

Huh
