No, because Scrypt is ASIC-resistant. It isn't resistant because ASICs weren't already out for it, but because it's difficult to create an efficient, low-cost ASIC for Scrypt. Just check out the price and specs of pre-orders on potential vaporware right now. Even with all that risk, they're still more expensive than GPU mining.

Hi all,

I was wondering where we would aim our GPU hashing power to once ASICs hit the Scrypt market. Will a new ASIC resistant algoritm be created?
