Doesn't look like its going to take that long. Lastest update from Flower Tech is their upcoming ASICs will also do Scrypt N.
Flower Tech is an empty box that will disappear before shipping http://www.reddit.com/r/litecoinmining/comments/1y9hbc/brock_flower_technology_scam/The point of Scrypt N is that every year the factor will become bigger, so if an ASIC has been developed for a specific factor, then it doesn't work anymore. oh i know , thank you

So - guess the DEV is dead - but we could revive this coin by privately selling hardware with GPUC - i got (all used) 3 290 reference design, 6 270x (3 his iceQ, 3 sapphire dual-x) and 3 750ti (with 1 6 pin) in Germany (so EU buyers only)- if anyone is interested - pm me.
Working with the current Poloniex rate vs btc into usd - we could just all use straight btc though but hey, that would be boring xD

Yeah FlowerTech, I wouldn't trust. My focus is on KNC for absolute speed and efficiency. Their first batch of scrypt should deliver around 2-3PH, the majority I'm betting will hit litecoin. There are others delivering right now, but when KNC hits--if they deliver like before--it's going to be game over for the majority of home miners. I know there are Scrypt-N specific ASIC in the works, and I know there are multi-algo ASIC in the works. Regarding the specs of Scypt-N, who knows, but hella more than most people think. If you consider 300-500MH is going to be entry level Scrypt for KNC, just figure 150-250.

Hi everyone, I'm here to say i just received a radeon r9 270 that i won in the last contest, on march 31. With all those bad news, i wasn't expecting to receive it. Took awhile because im in brazil, also i had to pay around 200us$ in taxes, but i'm glad he sent my prize. good look for everyone that are still waiting shipments

I don't think so for a variety of reasons the biggest being there will other coins that asics will not be able to mine. X11 and hefty just to name 2.

Then ASIC can mine it, it just has to be designed. Like I said, there's 2 companies working on multi-algo ASIC right now, implementing all currently-used mining algos. And my game-over comment was for LTC miners, as I predict most of the heavy machines will go to that.

I have my toxic still on sale at ebay. (and I really hope it is not used as the box was not sealed and clearly had been opened.) If it does not sell I can 'maybe' sell it for GPUCoin, depending on how serious the community is to fix this coin.

If GPUCoin was not an intentional scam but rather became overwhelming to you:
The only way to effectively overcome fear is to approach rather than avoid.
It gets easier when you begin approaching things, although it can be uncomfortable at first.

There will be coins that they can't mine and trying to develop a new asic every time a new algo comes out would be an exercise in futility not to mention very expensive.

GPU Coin LLC now has no money and owes the bank $1500(should have never signed up for the business credit card). I originally bought the R9 280X cards for $472 each from a distributor since they were the only people who had any stock of any graphics cards, most likely due to their over inflated prices. The 270 and 240 were also bought at slightly above market value at the time. Shipping charges (including materials) averaged $27 for each item sent due to many international orders. I was selling at a loss thinking that the pre-mined GPUC and the inherent quality that most crypto coins are deflationary would make losses much smaller or negate them entirely. Then all the gpu prices across the web came crashing down and BTC dropped down real low effectively snubbing the market. The 8 way splitter I hired a company through e-lance to create cost me $4500 and it still has another 2 months of development before the milestone for delivery is completed. There were also various lawyer fees and legal documents I had to pay for just to set up the business end. The grand sum of the endeavour that I now have the 2 R9 270s and 20 R7 240 cards that I saved for the signature contest which I still need to front money to ship and now hundreds of millions of GPUC that there is no way of cashing to buy more stock. My private mining rigs have been churning away at other coins and dumping BTC to the Mintpal vote in hopes that this business venture could be saved, but with a lack of funds and essentially no stock, there seems like nothing I can think of to bolster this coin.
If there is anyone in the community that can think of anything that may help this coin, please come forth and share. I currently work two full time jobs to cover my sisters rent and my own so she doesn't have to worry about any more shootings, so my free time is limited, but PM me and I'll try my best to fix this situation.

But will do Scrypt-N very slowly and cost a fortune most likely. Stats??
You know at this point it would be quite easy for us to fork the coin again to make N > 16k and on a faster schedule... which would make it impossible even for Flowertech pie in the sky spec at the getgo... Although as mentioned on other forums.. even if they can claim to mine it, you don't know what the perf/profitability would be .. might be 10x more inefficient.. most likely you can't count on linear scaling, since these ASICs are likely designed for scrypt 1024 efficiency. I'd be surprised if perf would scale linearly when n= 16384...

Wow. You don't have the free time to follow though on the thousands of dollars of investment money supplied by people in this community? Wow, just wow. You want us to believe that you are NOW part of the conversation (if you have free time). I hope you have the free time to find some integrity... if not hand the coin operations over to someone else. I learned a long time ago there are no excuses. Whose coin is this?...Yours. Do you have a responsibility?...Yes...Did you screw up?...yes... Do you have free time?...Maybe? Screw you and your bull$hit. Stop being a b!tch and MAN UP and do $hit. Not "if I have free time I will maybe look at doing something you suggest later if my personal situation..." I do want one of those splitters  (if you have the free time to follow through)

would you be willing to sell the rights to this coin , the website and any thing associated with the coin and all the gpu coin in your possession for $1k USD?
I think we could find enough active people here to turn this coin around.
not interested in the LLC

Jaymes, if you don't have time or enthusiasm to promote and take care of the coin, why not hand it over to Hendr1x and Micryon? Maybe they can salvage it.

Work your way up. Sell the coins you do have and support the marketplace as well as continue development. Take a loss and begin hustling cards on your storefront. I will sell you back the toxic for 300$ in GPUCoins (plus shipping) to start you off. If not give up find someone who will do atleast one of these things and pass the company on.
