Just thinking out loud...what's to keep the scrypt asics mining CSC? They are looking (for the most part) to get ROI and will mine whatever coin does this the fastest. Not sure if relying on next gen scrypt asics to secure the blockchain will work. If anything they make it much easier to do harm than good.

It wont work, 93% of current hash power is merge mining, so the last stat I saw anyway.. that leaves little left to go around and even less to secure the blockchain,.. AUXPOW seems to be where all the hash is headed and I don't think it would hurt the security selling point of CSC, Not sure how it would effect price....

Price is the interesting point. I think it will essentially take away the ability for high hashrate miners to mine a bunch of CSC at low diff since AuxPOW should increase the difficulty really high....that is if pools bother to merge mine CSC

I will throw up to 1Th/s+ at CSC if it implements AuxPOW depending on how much hash rate is on the other coins at xpool.net at any given time.

Thinking it will take the difficulty consideration out of the equation in regard to price. If it has a high diff it should be less profitable to mine....what this does to the price I don't know but at least the blockchain will be secure (again, if pools bother to mergemine it). Some people were saying it's harder to later hardfork the blockchain with a new version but I haven't checked into that myself.

Just throwing some of my thinking into the discussion...not necessarily putting in my vote "for" implementing AuxPOW.
