Bringing up an point I haven't seen discussed before...

DRK's "ASIC resistance."

Pretty much any maths will be ASICable. I think the real resistance is in the difficulty increases. ASICs will still be possible, but at the rate DRK increases difficulty, huge, exclusionary prices will never make sense. If/when DRK reaches penetration like BTC and LTC, where it makes sense for someone to try making an ASIC for it, they'll have no choice but to keep it affordable due to the diff and it won't consolidate as much as the other cryptos.

Can someone offer more thoughts on this? Maybe it's already been discussed and I just missed it in this deep thread...
