I want one of these

if i understood corretly this technology improves storage right? if i'm right, it would be good to use this in conjuction with coins that need storage to be mined, like bustcoin or anything else in the future
Yes, that's well thought. Being a storage tech, it can probably make BURST mining better somehow...

I doubt it will replace them but one thing I do hope is that mining becomes affordable for many again at some pint though I can't really see this happening sadly.

I don't really think it will replace ASIC's... ASIC' makers will probably just absorb this tech as much as they can, if it gives an advantage to their chips!
XPoint isn't an asic technology for mining. It's a bulk storage technology, and it's not useful for an asic OR a cpu miner, beyond a memory device to store settings and firmware (a task tangential to mining).
I thought this had something to do with RAM, excuse me for my confusion.

I hope it would make it easier for everyone to run their own high-performance full node. At the very least re-indexing the blockchain after an unexpected system shutdown should no longer take 3 days.
So, we are going to get more stable block explorers ?

Nooopee. Not many algo make use of memory. Not much else to say.
Stacking memory sectors in 3D has been talked about for a while now.
It's going to be cool for gaming rigs and some very few memory intense applications, however.
As far as I know, xPoint is currently only applicable to non volatile mass storage as an extension of NAND flash.
Ahh, but both technology are years away and i doubt 3D stacking ram and ssd are 2 completely different concept that just happened to appear at the same time.
The article also mention effect on DRAM and end with "keep your SSD and RAM for now".

No, this is a really cool new technology. Unfortunately, it will not help us whatsoever with cryptos, or crypto mining. It might help with the lag some wallets encounter from having 10's of thousands of transactions, but I am not sure of this.
