Re: [ANN] AIRcoin - 19th Largest Cryptocoin by Marketcap
Moved up 3 places on coinmarketcap...#20 now.
Scrypt ASICS aren't likely to be a problem for 2014 so there's time for other solutions to appear. No rush to convert to scrypt-n.

says as early as Q2 2014 for some pretty effective ones, and Q2-Q3 for a serious 'GPU destroyer'
i'd hope that air would try to be ASIC resistant
otherwise, why by Scrypt? just go SHA-2 if you don't mind ASIC's
That article puts the first units shipping around Q3 and then goes on to state that GPU mining will still be profitable. Sure it could be a problem if all the early investors point all their ASIC's at a single coin but thats fairly unlikely and its probably a boon to all those that already hold some coins.
