SOONIC: nevyplatí se nic :)

At this point, I'm reasonably conflicted. Its basically the exact things you mentioned. Scrypt arose as an alternative to SHA as a "ASICs have come, we'll make our own casino, with blackjack, and hookers!" (futurama). At some point, Scrypt ASICs were announced, and everyone did the same thing, except about 3-4 different alternatives popped up (Scrypt-N, X11, X13, NIST). Scrypt-N and X13 look to have (for the most part) died off, and the community has centered around X11. There are definitely times when X13/Scrypt-N jump up to be the most profitable over a short period of time. But in all seriousness, there isn't much reason to add profit-switching for it.
Either Scrypt-N/X13 are enabled (profitable, disabled if horribly unprofitable), or X13 is the best to mine. Scrypt really isn't viable unless you're an ASIC miner at this point (same as SHA at this point). Which I think is reflected in our Scrypt numbers. WP is heavily tuned for graphics cards, and still performs very well for those. However, Scrypt for the most part has gone to 99% ASIC, and we have to completely redo the switching algorithm for ASICs (its high on my list, just hasn't happened).
So, my list?
- Scrypt tuning for ASICs. We've got a ton of users who would benefit, just hasn't happened (its a _lot_ of tuning).
- Constant monitoring for new coins (we've got significantly better at this - lots of crons).
Algo-switching doesn't seem nearly as exciting as it did a month ago... X11 is dominating for GPUs (and looks to continue for the short term).
