The problem doesn't lie with individuals purchasing an ASIC miners.
It becomes a problem when businesses purchase 10+ and have 2.5million hashes mining a coin, specifically if they are mining smaller coins such as piggy.

Chaps,
I want to throw in a vote for "embrace the ASIC's". I'm not being bias to them - I have 16 Gpu's and I'd be affected just like so many other miners.
But ASIC's worked wonders for BTC, it's expected to the same for any other Altcoin that embraces it, and not fight it.
LTC team have already announced that they'll be all in favour of ASIC's. So I throw it out there for discussion that PiggyCoin should also look forward to ASIC's coming and encourage ASIC's miners to mine Piggy!
Thoughts?

Great work .. you guys are top notch devs!
I can see the diff is slowly climbing now, better get in and mine some while the mining is still good ...

I really suck at this game... but i cant stop playing!!!!!
it takes skill, focus, and manual dexterity to master the Flying Piggy
Looks like PIG has made it to ipoMiner.
"At ipoMiner, we mine both the most profitable coins and the most promising new coins, so you get the best of both strategies."

You can win some in our piggyfacts game http://www.piggyfacts.com/ !
We are planning on adding a scoreboard to the flying piggy game. I was thinking of a weekly scoreboard with payouts to the best ten players of the week. Will be coming soon!
I love this idea. Can't wait to see how it will work. My daughter loves playing the game.
piggycoin is just getting started

I don't have a clue how changing algo's and all that works, but if it was possible I think an approach like MyriadCoin would be incredible.
Why do we have to worry about the algos atm?

i trust in the Piggycoin. I trust in the devs.
do whatever u gotta do
do whatever u gotta do
True my intent was more to get community feedback/opinions on algos that they'd like, of course the devs will have the final say & will do whats in the best interest on the coin ...
Yep, it's a technical decision, live it to engineers 
Seriously, I'll all in for the change, and I prefer X11 - but I'm not that confident that the community should vote it either.
But since the devs will do what they think it's best, there's no harm in having us discussing it and get to know the community's opinion - it's not like it's mandatory, it's just consulting one of the main stakeholders
In essence, evaluate and consider the option, review all available algos, do a poll to get the community's opinion or something ... and then just do it. We'll support you and the coin will enjoy further growth and longer sustainability.

I'm not so sure the choice of difficulty algorithm should be put to a vote... The majority of people here are not computer scientist and will have very little idea of the complexities, benefits and potential pitfalls each algorithm will bring. I'm all for a democratic community you understand but this should a decision made by the expert(s) aka the coins lead developer(s).
Changed the title and I've been reading on this algo thing. If we change I think X11 is the way to go.
Good to hear you guys are thinking about the algo...
I think the best way to do it is the same with the block change, choose like 3 different algos you like and get the community to vote. As that is a big change you'll definitely need some time to do it right and test it out, but Im confident you will
