with KNC announcement of SCRYPT ASICS and friedcat not seeing them be a worthwhile investment. with the prices of other alts and interest in scrypt  asics - does asicminer not find it a good market to explore as well. with a well made scryptasic this year (possible solo mining) it could give friedcat and AM further revenue, stronger foothold in cryptocurrency, diversification and many other benefits. someone should talk to him about exploring this option again.
