Looking for an open-source project to join part-time
I'm the author and maintainer of a pure-Rust crypto library called Orion. I've been at it for a couple of years now, working on it in my spare time as well. There are a few people involved already, but we're still missing someone that is involved enough to be a "co-maintainer". There are some larger features that have been planned, but I lack the time currently to start too many new things. Of course, you can contribute in any amount you want.

Look-up tables for bcrypt, scrypt and Argon2?
Custom (the ones I have in the implementation I wrote)

How to implement a simple password-based encryption with ring?
With that said, i think multiple people are working on crypto libraries that take footguns out of it - which is what i think we definitely need. https://github.com/brycx/orion seems like a solid attempt at making crypto fool-proof , so i do have hope.

Does any interesting projects need help?
You're more than welcome to swing by at Orion (a pure-Rust crypto lib). You can also check the new Matrix room for a small chat.

Crate for AES256 - which one to choose? Questions about block cipher modes and AEAD too.
rust-crypto (GitHub: DaGenix / rust-crypto) good: support for different algorithms I wanna use for enrypting hashing (the latter is for another project) good: seems easy to use according to the example bad: no audit yet bad: don't know if still maintained, last commit on GitHub is from September 2016
