This will crush the 90-99% of us who are GPU-mining and not interested in investing big $ on what has become an increasingly risky venture. I figured I'd be able to mine until 1Q2015, but now it looks like I'll be dropping out by mid-summer. By fall Scrypt mining will be concentrated in a small number of commercialized mining operations (or a few deep-pocketed individuals).
I wonder how that will impact the flood of altcoins? With fewer miners it will be harder for pointless altcoins to get any hashrate to speak of, which is a good thing. So fewer miners may result in a rallying around the more reasonable altcoins with the rest permanently dropping into the abyss.
I agree that this will have a centralizing effect on mining, but at the same time, I think this opens the door for some of the new generation of cryptocurrencies that are fervently being worked on. I think this is the catalyst that drives crypto-currencies into a new paradigm.
I agree that this will provide progress to scrypt coins overall, but it kind of forces the smaller miners out...which I don't like.
There are some badboy ASIC miners coming out from Q2 this year, check out Zeusminer and Excalibur... They will be OK for pure scrypt mining but you leave yourself open for changes in the algo, which GPU's can handle fairly easily...
I was recently worried about these and almost put an order in... Then I discovered algo's like Scrypt-Jane & Keccak and realised this is where the fun is at...
Sshhh...don't go around spreading things like that
I would love to prove it, but with this bunch, and there adept ways at swindling your eyeballs out, posting a pic of my Feb transfer form, and a pic of my current brokerage account balance (I wired it from the brokerage, not the checking) would NOT be a good idea.
Next thing I know the power would go out to my house and boxes of dildos bought with my debit card would pile up on my front door.
Why do you need so many dildos?
Yes one or two is plenty, unless you are hosting a really big, out-of-control party. When is the party?
And most importantly, WHERE IS OUR INVITE?!
Haha! I feel like throwing a party mang!
However, it will be BYOD (bring your own dildo)
With you getting money back, a party is always nice! I don't have one...come on guys...share dildos with me...

I have been using scrypt.cc for some weeks and everything was fine. But yesterday I ordered a withdrawal and didn't receive any BTC in my wallet. Although the movement appears in the withdraw history of my scrypt.cc account I don't see any transaction in the blockchain.
I submitted a ticket but it was deleted. I created 2 more tickets but got no reply.
I'm begining to worry.
Blockchain has problems. It's affecting everyone. The site uses blockchain.info's API and they're having problems so it affects the site.
