The new scrypt ASICs are coming out this month. 20x more hashing power than the ones from 6 months ago.
I wonder how this will effect THC.
Many companies aren't releasing new asics, like Zeus and the Volcano, or KNC and GAW not putting ASICS in the hands of miners. Which are you referring to? Ensilica and Flower partnership? That won't happen for another few months.
I was going off the information that Zeus and KNC said 3 months that they would be shipping Dec 10h. You will still be able to rent cheap miners if that is what the new style is going to be. It's probably cheaper to do it that way since they must be located in the cheapest power location.
A multi-algo PoW coin with PoS is the way to go. None exists yet though. I'm working on making one right now. It's tough, no one has figure it out yet.
