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.

Agree.. I've been mining Hiro & Heavycoin since AIR and before that VTC. I like the X11 and Heavy1 because they use 1/2 the power, generate a lot less heat and run quiet.

Scrypt-N is a bad choice IMHO as it offers the miners nothing but high costs and with 1/2 the hashrate of scrypt, and already ASICS are being designed to run Scrypt-N.

Looks like AIRteam is well on the way to setting AIR 2.0 up for another fail.

Nothing in their announcement entices me back to mining or investing in this coin.

Wasn't the main drawcard of this coin the concept behind the investment pool and not the technical specs behind coin? From recollection they identified some key constraints with the 'beta' release: not enough volume, single exchange and not being able to turn on the variable block reward function. With this relaunch it sounds like we'll have 3 exchanges, variable block reward turned on and with the 2.5M premine + 1:1 mined beta (i'm assuming they won't double up on their 2.5M beta premine) should provide the increased volume. However, with this increase in premine will the system require more BTC upfront to support the price if the coin gets dumped right after relaunch?
