Vertcoin is ASIC-proof.
you say that until the first Scrypt-N miners hit the market.
"Each Scryptr chip can achieve about 1MH/s performance for Scrypt-N (N=2048) for coins such as Vertcoin. Hence for Neon C08, the Scrypt-N performance is 2MH/s. "
N is just a parameter, and conveniently a power of 2. when ASIC makers integrate that into their chips, there's no stopping them...
Lol,at this rate,nothing is safe. But Scrypt-N coins don't have the required marketcap to necessitate the creation of ASICs. At this rate,the only algo's that seem safe are the Primechain and whatever Riecoin's running on.
But..but look at it's buy support,it's almost doubled in value today.
