To anyone passing by:
nothing to see here, move along.
In this regard, Litecoin specialized/custom hardware will not be Bitcoin: part deux.
scrypt is made -specifically- to make custom hardware (such as fpgas, and others) attacks much more costly/less beneficial than otherwise it would be without it. Unless they have discovered a vulnerability/flaw/subtle property no one else knows about, the MOST they are going to get is power savings.
Dont expect anywhere near the same kind of advantage that asic/fpga has over other means of mining as in bitcoin. fpgas and the other forms of custom hardware wont have the same volume savings as gpus, the same amount of engineering, nor nearly the same amount of r&d $ to back it up.
again, all they will get is possibly some power savings, and even this being due to the fact they dont have to deal with the power overhead of the rest of the components in a pc gives other miners.
until (and if) this comes out and we see what it's capable of (or they post actual proof of the benefits of their custom hardware) i'm gonna stand by this, and others have no reasons to do otherwise.

All internet engineers are welcome to post their opinions in Simran's thread. Have fun.
? Our method will be a bit unique so I dont want to be putting that out there. I am sure if you run a business you can respect that.
