Supposedly scrypt-n asics shipping next week?
https://www.kncminer.com/news/news-106knc titan can do scrypt-n apparently:
The Titan was designed for several variants of the scrypt algorithm, including Scrypt-N. Titan's firmware is in continuous development and we'll update this space with new versions enabling new features as they become available.
at the end of september we should see lyra2RE. So the titans won`t help.
We'll see. The originally scheduled deployment date was end of Nov:
There is still much work to be done before we roll it out. Here is a approximate timeline:
Derive appropriate initial memory and cpu levels to roughly match the current level (8/15/2014)
Implement the new algo in all the wallets including mobile (10/15/2014)
Run final testing on testnet (11/15/2014)
Final release to mainnet (11/30/2014)
These are estimates, we may move faster

It would be nice if someone could update the OP with some of this info. I know it's available at vertcoin.org, but it makes us look like a little disorganized here on bitcointalk when the ANN page has out-of-date info and some dead links. There's not even enough traffic to estimate the number of visitors per day to vertcoin.org, and Alexa puts vertcoin.org's rank between 200,000-300,000, while btctalk is around the 3000th most popular site in the world. It's nice to have a dedicated site, but I imagine there is just orders of magnitude more page views here, so it would be nice if the info presented in the first post could be updated.
