Title: Do you want to mine without ASICs?

SHA256 is broken.  Scrypt is broken.  What's next? 
Are there any good ASIC hostile designs out there?

List of ASIC hostile coins:

take a look at x11 coins, hirocoin in particular. insanely asic hostile, and power draw/heat reduced 50%.
i realy think this is the next huge gpu/cpu only coin. hashrate increasing daily, so it definetly has support.

blackcoin is also nice, but its created so that it would be mined fast and only good for bagholders, dont think that will keep the price long, noone wants other ppl bag too long..
on the other hand , hirocoin has a steady growth, and no premine. so far so good

Darkcoin was the first X11 coin. Evan is the best dev I've ever seen. Darksend is going to be released officially soon, it's in beta right now, check it out.

More like "insane to think it's asic hostile":-)

11 hash functions that are each by design very asic friendly...

Scrypt-N is asic proof and is good to mine.
