TeamAircoin, What's wrong with current Aircoin? Nothing if you ask me. Just implement DGW and be done with it. I really don't understand why you want to create new coin. How is that changing anything? What's the point?  Huh

Exactly!

Why not just update the current code with a hard fork and provide the updated wallets.

I think the devs kids have totally lost the plot with this latest announcement as it will only create confusion and increases their premine even more.

What are they going to do when AIR 2.0 doesn't go their way? Create a third AIRcoin?




I'm not sure DGW and scrypt-n is even worth the update, there are already coins with those features.  To me it sounds like they will destroy the value of both coins in one go.

The decision to use scrypt-n over other variants is disappointing given the huge power savings some of the new algo's give.  If you are going to change why not actually give some benefit to the mining community with cheaper running costs?  Instead we are getting jerked around with plummeting value on a  heavily premined coin that is soon to be abandoned and a new coin that doesn't offer anything new.
