I keep saying this here
All x algo's are the upcoming asic's
There is already fpga mining happening on a small scale in china.
Search the bitcoin forum, you will find plenty of info on that.
I find a coin swap complex and unnecessary, all the coins of the new algo need to be premined for that.
The best way to go away from scrypt right now is neoscrypt, the conversion is seamless, mining is cpu/gpu only, and the algorithms efficiency is going up.
And POS is easily implemented
X algo's are inefficient and are not easy to turn into profit.
I agree something has to be done, POS is so long gone that hempcoin has become just another scrypt coin.
