Which Algo do you think is the best/holds the most interest with the public atm?

Scrypt-n pretty much had the market for a while, but with x11 and groestl (However you're supposed to say that!) coming up, which will become the new standard?

Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

I heard x11 is not fpga and asic resistance. So scrypt-n pretty much...

I vote for Groestl to replace scrypt since it's far more efficient than Nscrypt mining and even give CPU's a chance at lower diff.

I'd never really looked at groestl before - I thought it was just another subtle modification, but I'm really impressed by it!

It isn't just more efficient than n-scrypt but it also runs alot quitere and cooler.
