Hi @simonweniger sorry for the delay in response and thanks for your approval on the issue, I'll come up with the solution ASAP. Sure, I'll look at the slack channel as well.

@agbilotia1998 Just fyi, I found that issue is with scrypt package. It was last updated 4 years ago and according to their github (https://github.com/barrysteyn/node-scrypt) is depricated.
Also it appears that there is a dependency on the old version of web3 ("web3": "1.0.0-beta.37") which also doesn't support nodejs v12. Probably some other packages have such dependency as well.

@eshavkun the later versions of web3 fix the scrypt package issue with this PR web3/web3.js#2938
But on upgrading to the latest version of web3, the error still persists.
