We most definitely are talking about potential algo swaps. We would love to hear peoples suggestions for other algos.
While the burst idea is not bad I would rather see it standard mineable. Xevan &/or timetravel10 (bitcore) would be good algos... (nist5 or tribus could probably be made ASIC easily if skein is now going to be ASIC)
x17 looks like good algo too. tribus is interesting, there is just 1 coin at this algo, as i remember.
