I wouldn't merge this one, you are changing the package. Now zone117x/node-multi-hashing.git is used, and you are changing it to one of your own..

Hi, can you add M7 algo?

[HashUnlimited]

this PR contains a lot of updates which actually make sense and I wanted to do anyways. so we gonna merge this and revert the changes with issues, that way is simpler than cherry-picking all the useful stuff.

You'll probably want to change the bignum library too then. I recommend https://github.com/MikeMcl/bignumber.js, that's the one I'm using on my version. Excellent support from the author too.

@MueR I was indeed thinking about that. The one you are suggesting might be lightweight but does not cover the necessary precision for all use cases.
The only disadvantage of the npm version is the node compatibility (>=4.3 I think). We have to ask ourselves if we REALLY need to go down that far as in the meanwhile the oldest LTS is Node 6. My latest changes in the NOMP init.js require 6 btw but they could be easily adapted. In my personal opinion I would prefer to go for Node 6 (in dev first of course) when doing the overhaul to get rid of tons of deprecation warnings everywhere in my IDE. Of course open for discussion, @zone117x what do you think? After the overhaul and some good testing, I would suggest to rename and tag the current master branch, bump the version on dev, rename it and make it default. Create a new dev of course.

[MueR]

I've converted everything to run on the 8.11 LTS version, using full ES2017 features. Just about everything is in javascript modules now. I've not found any problems with bignumber.js so far, but maybe I'm missing something?

[zone117x]

If I had the time I would aim to support latest LTS and latest stable. Just don't have the time to implement or vet the changes. Would really appreciate it if @MueR did a pull request for the updates and @HashUnlimited could help review them.
I do agree about clearing tagging and branching since this repo has had no breaking changes for so long.

[MueR]

I'll have to see if I can find some time this week @zone117x and @HashUnlimited. I've done a bit more than just rewrite everything into modules, I've also added some proprietary things that I'm not willing to share readily. But I'll see about filtering some of the custom work out soonish.
