with KNC announcement of SCRYPT ASICS and friedcat not seeing them be a worthwhile investment. with the prices of other alts and interest in scrypt asics - does asicminer not find it a good market to explore as well. with a well made scryptasic this year (possible solo mining) it could give friedcat and AM further revenue, stronger foothold in cryptocurrency, diversification and many other benefits. someone should talk to him about exploring this option again.
The point in scrypt is that it's ASIC resistant and the Litcoin devs are against ASICs. They might very well alter the code or switch to sth else than scrypt and make your 10K USD scrypt ASIC into a very expensive doorstop (you could probably still use it as an electric heater, hoping it's not too noisy for the home).
I can see why FC doesn't want to waste allocate resources for developing a scrypt ASIC.
+1. scrypt ASICs dont make much sense. If a single cryptocurrency is to succeed it would be Bitcoin, otherwise it would be another SHA-256 coin that improves significantly in a few ways (such as smaller size blockchain, shorter block times, or the capability to handle much more volume) so that the massive pile of existing infrastructure remains useful and secures the network.
its like inventing the stone wheel, then deciding that the rubber-covered square is the real game-changer
What about the rubber covered wheel

Re: [ANN] TiPS ★ Kimotos Gravity Well ★ World first coin anonymizer launched!
In the past weeks I saw a couple of things that were great but I don't understand if they are implemented yet :
- The coin mixer
- The rebranding ( new logo and name are awesome)
this could make tiips few level ups , is there any support or organization behind this ?
The coin mixer is implemented since early February. You can find it in the 0.60 wallet.
The rebranding is in process. We just found a web developper for implementing the new design of the website (see link below), and the new subreddit is almost done. So hopefully that won't be long before a new announcement is made
It's time for the devs to either LEAD, FOLLOW, or GET OUT OF THE WAY ..
I'm going to keep posting this until I get a response from someone in charge

OPEN LETTER TO THE "TIPS" DEVS AND ONLINE COMMUNITY
=====
I have a "vision" for this coin that I want to share with you ..
This coin isn't about a "hat" or a "meme" or a "logo" .. It's about the coin's symbol .... TIPS .... and what it can and will become ..
TIPS = The Internet Payment Solution TIPS = The Internet Payment Service TIPS = The Internet Payment System TIPS = The Internet Payment Solution
TIPS is a REWARD, or RECOGNITION, or COMPENSATION for an internet delivered GOOD or SERVICE ..
TIPS is ubiquitous across the web .. as simple and intuitive as ..
"liking" "tweeting" "recommending"
TIPS is a wallet integrated mobile app and a web add on "widget" to send or receive TIPS that can and will be integrated into every internet content provider's web service as a way to be paid or rewarded for content with a simple click of the TIPS button ..
TIPS is for rewarding content providers that utilize web services such as
Utube SoundCloud Blogs Art Prose Photography Commentary Social Media Reviews Dining and many more
TIPS = THE INTERNET PAYMENT SOLUTION
with one CLICK from ANY device for ANY good or service
It's the ONLY REASON to create a crypto currency !!!!
Paying and receiving TIPS for content and as compensation is the killer application for worldwide cryptocurrency use/adoption ..
TIPS aspires to be the web's preferred integrated transaction network rivaling the likes of Mastercard, PayPal, and Visa ..
We have the "coin" .. numbers .. We have the symbol .. TIPS ..
Do we have the VISION ?
If the community insists that this coin is about a "hat" then 3 latoshis here we come ..
Think about it, please ..
Triff ..
Totally agree, this is how to create network effect, the only intrinsic value of Bitcoin ( cryptos)
Apologies for the delay in getting the videos online, I will do it first thing in the morning when I get to the office. The second merchant conference went great, it is true that education is key, once people obtain an understanding from somewhere other than the media, perceptions change. We had several merchants take a decision right there and then to accept Bitcoin payments with Bee.
I will provide a full update tomorrow which I will pass to TAT for publishing. It has been a busy few months and now the adrenaline is wearing thin, I need to get more than 4 hours sleep tonight.
Again thanks for the support!
I think one thing that should help a lot, is giving away some millibit to each partecipant/ merchant interested, so they can first experience in first person bitcoin the tecnology

Re: [BitFunder] - ADDICTION - KNCMiner - Now hashing at 14+TH!
Also as a way to get a higher % back , are we considering if there is another coin rather than namecoin to merge mine? even something to speculate, like some starting altcoin.
Please read what a merge mining is and you'll understand why you can't merge mine "something to speculate, like some starting altcoin" in addition to name coins and bitcoins.
For example Huntercoin is merge minable , but it doesn't seem to be profitable
