Having Bitcoin in scrypt is important. Bitcoin needs to be knocked off its pedestal for being 1) a currency held in majority by feds 2) cozying up to coinvalidation and whining about non-monetary uses like IOUs or barter.

Only speculators and trollbox wankers want fast times. Retarget should always return to 2016.

I could not disagree more. Bitcoin in scrypt is unimportant. There is a reason why no other coin since Bitcoin has used a difficulty adjustment timespan as large as Bitcoin's - it sucks. The only reason everyone puts up with it is because BTC are worth $800.

BITCOIN in scrypt is important if you don't want an open-source-closed-committee-bunker-building-passive-community-having-coin putting everyone in its shadow.
