Apparently warrens understanding of algorithms is not necessarily up there.

"A mere mishmash of 11 algorithms". Scrypt is also an algorithm. One.

It would be extremely costly to build a x11 ASIC.  Absolutely and definitely possible, but costly. So hirocoin would need to have a lot of success before a x11 ASIC is being developed. And quite honesrly, if we reach the point of ASIC being worth it for hirocoin, I would call that a total success.

The only part that seems true is the fact that when ASICs would be built, it would (obviously) not be bottlenecked like GPUs currently are (the reason why you see so much less power draw). But it's hard to say at this point how efficient they would be nonetheless. Maybe even using the maximum resources it would be slow for an ASIC.

Other than that, I totally agree that it would be so bad for litecoin to fork for a new algorithm. It would be so so bad. So that is good news for us. I just didn't really find the uninformed bashing of other algorithm to be worth much.
