It's not even ASIC hostile. You seem to be under the impression that ASICs are somehow incompatible or inefficient with Scrypt.
It seems that you haven't read my post before commenting it. I'm talking only about ideology, not technic details. It's obvious that it's impossible to develop a real ASIC-proof algo, and this guy said more than enough about this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Turing

Scrypt coins are asic-hostile systems due to ideological reasons. That's all that we can say.

changing to "asic-hostile" to satisfy Peleus pedantism.

but I still think its asic-proof , simply because there are asics on the loose, and they are messing badly with sha256 altcoins, where scrypt altcoins are safe and smooth. what I mean is not "impossible to design ASIC for" but "current ASIC cant touch it, and there are even no FPGA's , that suggest designing an ASIC requires much bigger market cap than bitcoin had."

but understand me, there is no place for such long descriptions, I need one-liners.

Thank you Peleus and Balthazar for constructive input. that is what we need to keep this list a fair one.
every time I change something to someone else input makes this list better, even if it is not a better description, simply because its more community based. thats why I's so gratefull for your interest in it guys!
