Changing Strategies in preparation of the Scrypt ASICs

[jaideep1000]

Since scrypt asics replacing GPUs is inevitable now how should us miners adapt?

At some point we'll have to get scrypt asics for ourselves too but I was thinking if it is worth mining and holding as much doge or ltc as you can because once the difficulty explodes the prices should go high up aswell.

Looking for more opinions on what to do.

yes..they asics are already out and i can see them in all the pools now...price wise i do not see any difference..but when it comes to managing the heat of GPU and kh/s per watts benefit of asic's it will kick out the GPU's in no time..

because once the difficulty explodes the prices should go high up aswell.

difficulty increase is no guarantee of price increase.
Price totally depends on usability of coin.So more merchant accepting them the more the value.
As you can see there is no diff for general public from bitcoin vs litecoin ..
its all about ecosystem....you see apple!!!!!

I want to purchase some Scrypt ASICs. But importing from foreign countries is always risk. We have to pay heavy duty and safety. I purchsed two items from amazon one is dvd and another one is massage stone set. DVD is broken and 5 stones from massage set also got broken.
