tacotime also wrote a nice guide for getting started mining Litecoin that will also work for mining Feathercoin as it follows the same algorithm:

I have a couple of GPU miners on this pool and so far I like it.  Good connectivity from here in TX.  Worth giving it a try.

Thanks for your support =]

So far we have found 57 59 blocks since May 1!

This was a question posted in another thread and I think it was worth sharing. The question was:

Q: How does the drop in network hashrate affect users who are still mining Feathercoin.

A: Blocks will still be found by the people who remain on the network, only it will take longer to find them as their pools hashrate drops. They won't find more coins, but the pool they are mining in will be more profitable as there are less users to split the rewards between.

Our pool is now at 1/4 of the hash rate it had before the difficulty increase (40 MH/s from almost 200 MH/s) so it's taking us longer to find blocks too, but the rewards are much higher to the users still on our pool. https://ftc.d2.cc

Q: Why is it taking so long to get paid for shares of found blocks on your pool?

A: Since the difficulty increase, a lot of miners have stopped mining for FTC. The blocks our pool is finding cannot be paid until they are confirmed. With less users on the Feathercoin network, it's taking longer to find blocks which means slower confirmations of our pools blocks. You can check the status of the blocks and how many confirmations they have received on our stats page: https://ftc.d2.cc/statsAuth  As soon as the status is "Confirmed", you will receive your reward.

There will be a hard fork in Feathercoin at block 33,000.

You must upgrade your clients before this block. The official announcement is:

[Critical Update] Feathercoin 0.6.4 - Hard Fork at block 33,000 (http://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php?topic=505.0)

So... We've been pretty busy lately. As mentioned some time ago, I was unhappy with the current front-end and wanted to do a complete rewrite from scratch. I had made up my mind that I would complete this while Solitude was working on a stratum mining pool implementation in c++ and we would release both at the same time before the difficulty re-target. Unfortunately, the re-target time is coming a lot sooner than originally expected with the hard fork and neither of these goals seem like they will be reached before then.

However, there's some good news! I have been working on at least getting the layout completed for the front-end redo project and I should have this implemented in the next couple of days. The idea was to clean everything up so it's not just a large clusterf--- of text everywhere AND to build a responsive site to help out everyone who does visit us on mobile devices. A few pages are still not complete (landing page, getting started, login / signup, perhaps some top bar stats & misc other tweaks) but everything else is. Here's a quick tease of the current look:

Want more feathercoins? OK! There's currently bounties in place for 6 upcoming blocks. Should our pool receive these bounties, we will process manual account credits to all miners working on the bounty blocks once the funds have been confirmed!

Read about the bounty at http://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php?topic=583.0

Congrats! We solved block 32,900 for a hefty 1 BTC bounty!

This will be converted to FTC and sent out to everyone who participated in the round leading up to the block solution!

Bushstar has sent the 1 BTC and it has been exchanged and pending transaction confirmations to the pool FTC donation address. Once confirmed, it will be credited to everyones account who participated in the round leading up to this block solution.

Site Updates

The Account Transactions page will shows links to the transaction details on the official Feathercoin block explorer. Keep in mind, these transactions will display as not found on the explorer page until at least 1 confirmation has been made.

Also, it should now be impossible to delete a worker with pending shares.

The reported Network Hashrate has been adjusted to previous 30 block average instead of 120.

Just 7 blocks to go until difficulty drops 41.1%!

Difficulty dropped!

Current Difficulty   94.08608362

Happy mining everyone.

Feathercoin has recovered from the 51% attack and is now gaining rapidly in popularity!

We have surpassed our previous record hash rates of the pool and the servers still have plenty of resources for more. However, if you begin to have connection issues we do have a fail-over server for you to add to your miner.

Fail-over Connect: http://pool2.d2.cc:9344

d2  i just joined you pool.Usually, how often is the pay-out?

Account balances are updated after 120 confirmations of the blocks you were mining on. Automatic payouts for users who have a payout threshold set are performed every 30 minutes. PPLNS number shares target is currently 1,000,000 so your payout is calculated over the previous 1,000,000 shares to avoid pool hoppers.

The best webpage of the bussiness. Congrats!!

Thanks!  :)

Since it was requested:

We now offer 3 p2pool nodes with 1% fee. The connection urls are as follows:

• http://p2pftc1.d2.cc:80
• http://p2pftc2.d2.cc:80
• http://p2pftc3.d2.cc:80

To connect simply point your miners to one of the above connection addresses with your username set to your payout address and passwd x

Example: minerd.exe --url http://p2pftc1.d2.cc:80 -t 4 -a scrypt --userpass 6gYgwums4n36Y78gv6n1i3An8h6SLV89S7:x

Difficulty will drop again in about 6.5 hours which should put FTC back on the top of the profitability charts!

http://www.feathercoin.com/netstats/

FTC miners should move to d2's PPLNS pool. I am a little surprised that this pool is not more popular than it is as it runs very well.

The communication by efforts of the admin throughout the attacks were top notch! General support is excellent though rarely needed. The layout of the site is also very good.

Could not ask for a better FTC pool - just wish there were more users to speed up block discovery.

Those of you after FTC, get on board at http://ftc.d2.cc/  ;D

Thanks for your support  :)

Now with 100% more stratum!

Horrible luck at the moment... I'm giving a 10 FTC bounty to the finder of the next block on my pool after 38,638

Thanks to drinkypurpl3 for finding block 38,724 and getting us out of that bad luck run. 10 FTC bounty sent!  http://explorer.feathercoin.com/tx/e85b0069ab680d87c316e83ccacbed00ceddae5f2d9674d0ac737ce70b40e869

Difficulty dropped to 104! Feathercoin profitability rises!

Network hashrate is spiking as predicted.

If you haven't already received your free coin, post your address in the giveaway thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=234671

Network hashrate is still looking great and difficulty is low! Great time to jump into Feathercoin if you aren't already a part of this amazing coin!

Enjoy the profits!

Current Difficulty	73.20397415
Expected Time per Block	0 day(s), 0 hour(s), 1 min, 54 sec
Time to Retarget	0 day(s), 15 hour(s), 9 min, 7 sec

6.5 hours left until difficulty increase!

I would say that ftc.d2.cc is the only one who paid me the right amount, after trying 2-3 other since two week.
Just happy mining with it, no disconnect issue, so I think they deserve a little word from me.
Good job :)

Thanks for your support!  :)

Feathercoin hits the spotlight on the UK Guardian:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2013/jun/25/bitcoin-successors-litecoin-freicoin

Awesome pool man! Great design on the site as well, very impressive ;) Just setup a worker with a 7750 running :) hope to see it active soon :) Keep up the awesome work! :)

Thanks!

-----------------------------------------

I have also adjusted PPLNS to 250,000 shares instead of 1,000,000. This will help people ramp up to full share within 1-3 blocks.

50 more blocks until difficulty drop and profitability increase!

Less than an hour until difficulty drop!

Happy hashing!

And we're off!

Feathercoin now the most profitable coin on coinchoose by a long shot!

Nice site, congrats.

But I have some issues, maybe I havent understood well the perfomance of the pool.

Ive mining in your pool for some hours and at this moments It shows that I have 1706 shares pending of confirm.

Just to sign and everything went Ok , but since a while ago It shows 0.00 estimate of this round and a balance of 0 while Im hashing at 466Khash/seg

Could you check this? All my stats are frozen except my Hsrate

Thx.

There was an issue yesterday with stats which has since been resolved but I didn't notice you thread here to reply until now. All of the stats now are displaying properly.

As far as pending shares and balance, we require all found blocks to receive 120 confirmations before we are able to pay out the reward since this is when the pool actually is credited with it. Since we don't charge any fees, we are unable to float payments for now as we just don't have the coins necessary.

Now that Feathercoin has formed an alliance with Worldcoin and Phenixcoin, I have opened pools for both:

https://d2.cc

Difficulty down again! Get your mine on!

Current Difficulty   68.80484264

Manual payments have been enabled again so you no longer have to use the auto-pay system.

There have also been a few other improvements on the stats pages.

Please let me know if you notice any problems.

Feathercoin diff dropped to 68.809!

Confirmations required for blocks to be credited have been lowered from 120 to 40!

We may lower this even more in the future, but for now will be holding here.

Confirms required have also been reduced on most of our other pools! https://d2.cc

Feathercoin diff dropped and profitability soars!

Look like a new pool to test tonight.

i dont know what happen there but the problem is all over:

[2013-07-19 07:36:08] Rejected 1312091f Diff 126/31 GPU 0 pool 0 (Ntime out of range)

 :(

That's a problem with cgminer not my pool. You can try a different version of cgminer, I use 3.1.0 and it works well.

I apologize, this may have also been due to an attacker injecting malicious blocks with a time stamp 2 hours in the future throwing off the block template targets. Changes have been made to prevent this issue.

FTC network at 10 GH as prices reach record highs and it's just getting started.

I wouldn't be surprised to see 0.004 before the year end.

I can't connect to pool3. Is there an issue? Am I the only one?

Sorry about that, I forgot to post an update here. Longpoll only connection urls are temporarily offline while I am working on some server migrations. Currently only the stratum connection is live: http://pool.d2.cc:3333

The fail over connections have been re-routed to point to the above connection url, but Getwork/LP support is not available.

OMG, What is going on with the getwork pool? How about an update, or better yet, bring them back up....

Network Confirms required now lowered to 30!


I've opted to discontinue getwork altogether now that the latest minerd supports stratum:

To anyone that cannot use stratum, I encourage you to set up your own stratum mining proxy. I don't have time to write a full guide on it at the moment, but basic details are here: http://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php?topic=3065.0
In that thread, I also post the version I used when I had some online and some steps that some users generally miss on the setup guide posted at that github link.

Pool needs to update: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=300714.0

EDIT: I'm not actually sure anymore which pool is on the wrong fork, sorry for the confusion if you've already updated. I just noticed that FCPool and Coinotron seem to be on a different chain than this pool.

D2 - if you're here, you are on the wrong chain.

Need to update your client.

Aye it was my fault. Thanks for the post, the pool has now been updated.

The orphans 87970 - 88084 were paid out to all active miners.

Looks like the pool is out of service.
