It's things like this that drive me nuts.  he's not wrong.  It is 5 times more profitable per KH/s.  Unfortunately, you can only get 1/5th the hashrate of scrypt coins now, so at best, it's a wash.  I don't know  if it's a disingenuous push or ignorance - both bother me.  

edit:  When he made the claim, we were hashing at twice the rate we are now which would have made the comment slightly more true as it would have been about 1.8x more profitable per the calculator.  In reality, I see returns of about that.  I'm still disturbed that he didn't know our hash rate had dropped to 37.5% of scrypt and that it was about to drop to around 18 - 19%.  Sometimes he doesn't seem to know anything about the backend of this coin at all.
