Yes, challenge accepted.

After listening to the advice of the community and looking into it technically, it does appear possible to swap out the algorithm. We will be going with keccak.

This change will take some time and require a hard fork. Please stop your miners as there will be a hard fork at block 48750. This is subject to change and I will keep everyone posted. For now, please close your wallets as there will be a new version available at relaunch. As always, please be sure to backup your wallets. During this time the game will also be offline (no payouts) but still playable.

The tentative re-release of the coin will be next Saturday, 4/5/14 provided all goes well. I will post progress updates throughout the week.

While this change is being made, it would be great if you could contact pools, exchanges, and someone to host a blockchain explorer. This would be a great help as I'll be busy coding and testing. If you have any other input on this change, please contact me directly through PM.

You're willing to contribute as a dev? If so, what changes will you implement? What retargeting logic would you choose, or maybe we could all discuss it here if you like.

P.S.: I don't have the time to engage more in such an endeavour but I could help with a pool at least.
