For the love of god people, chaining 11 ASIC by design algos does not make it ASIC resistant, it makes it ASIC friendly.
The announced 150-250MHS scrypt ASICs are not that good, they don't have x1000 boost because scrypt *IS* ASIC resistant by design and they won't impact scrypt coins as much as the SHA256 ASICs.
Forking your scrypt coins to x11 to be ASIC resistant is just plain retarded, next year if KNC deems it profitable they'll launch x11 ASIC with x1000 boost making the whole matter even worse if you were to just stick with scrypt, then what, another fork to some other largely untested chained algo?

It sucks but that's life.
