Look this way.

RAM is cheap, way cheaper than most components in an ASIC device, the only reason they are not there, is caused people didn't add more than required.

Example, if more coins use N-scrypt, then it will just be another year before ASIC includes them too.
heck, if I am a scrypt ASIC developer, (which I am not, I do something else related), I will just add that to my device and call it a perk.


I have looked at many angles.. but I cannot see how N-scrypt is even going to be any different from Scrypt.
How is that .. ASIC resistant?  I mean, Litecoin was 'suppose' to be the ASIC resistance to SHA-256, look now.
and N-Scrypt is Waaaaaaaay easier to add comparing to the switch from Sha256 to Scrypt..

can anyone give me a point in the right direction?

but right now, it looks like just a marketing theme only.. am i right?
