I like ASICS. They are so much more efficient than GPUs and allow for proper commercial business plans to be shaped around them. I think the bigger Scrypt coins will be absolutely fine in this new world just as bitcoin proved to be. Smaller ones may be run over.

DIgibyte is a great coin and it is a shame it is not more popular, but it needs more exposure. There will shortly be an army of unemployed GPU miners looking to mine something and it is worth exploiting this group, just as Litecoin did in 2013 and Dogecoin in the first few months of 2014. I love Doge, but the future is uncertain and a merge is a big gamble until we know if the coin has legs past January.

I would therefore recommend a switch to something else more GPU or even CPU friendly. Cuckoo Cycle seems very promising if you want the widest audience possible mining.

I agree DGB is underrated...in fact DGB is not a bigger scrypt coin but it's not entirely small either....I still think overall though that DGB is vulnerable to scrypt ASICS destroying the coin....Ive just purchased a few more R9 270x...why? Because I can mine X11 coins using practically no electricity, it's cooler and I believe in crypto in general.....GPUs and cpus keep cryptos decentralized....ASICS defeat the purpose of crypto...I will be mining some coin using which ever algo because GPU mining will never go out of style...GPUs are awesome because they can adapt to mine which ever algo comes out next...Whatever algo DGB goes with (if any change) I will be there mining it.
