Yeah, I get it. People want proof-of-stake, proof-of-ownership, adaptive scrypt, and tomorrow there's a new algorithm fad, but cryptocurrency shouldn't be about fashion. There is currently an avalanche of scrypt ASICs being rolled out on the market, and the risk is that currencies that can't be targetted by this hashrate suffer even greater risk of falling into obscurity. It's fundamentally important that a currency can be mined by the majority of hashrate available.
