Nice!  Long time Karma supporter here (just not vocally on the forums, but a little over on reddit).  I like the move to X11 from an energy efficiency viewpoint but it feels more like an anti-ASIC move.  ASIC's are far more energy efficient than GPU's or CPU's so a combo of the 2 will be best for a sustainable cryptocurrency future.  *disclaimer:  I own no ASIC hardware, just offering my opinion.

I also think the 2 year estimation for ASIC introduction to X11 is pretty far off.  Considering DarkCoin is trading in the $10-$13 USD range and the popularity of other X11 coins I would expect it to happen sooner.  Early next year if not the end of this year.  Again, just my non-expert prediction.

Either way, good news for now and looking forward to more mining.
