Tell me if I'm doubling up on this topic.

I bought some ftc earlier this year- quite blindly really, with hopes that they might go the way of btc.

So they rose, then dropped, a lot. They now float at around 8c each and I have a tonne of worthless coins really.

It occurred to me yesterday, when reading something that described them as having been pump-and-dumped that I might be waiting on a lost cause.

Is ftc over? Are they doomed to fail? Or might they rise from the ashes in the future and not have been a lost cause?

;D

It is not worthless, but it is not worth much either.

Inflation rate and no services and the history makes me think its close to worthless and that it won't gain much. You can earn with it on daily/weekly pump&dumps by following the hype around it and "UNOCS". But there are better and more reliable currencies to trade with for the same purpose.

Done.

Thanks for the responses.

You gave it away because it didn't perform overnight?

Of course I didn't give it away. It's sounding like selling it will be the smartest option though as it can most likely only get worse from here.

Even if FTC was dead....this thread revived it.  :D

I personally never got the hype.

I coin which was sold on being 4x LTC (WOW!) and was insanely instamined... Coooool  8)

Personally I would hold on to it... but that depends how much you are holding and how badly you need to release those funds.

In my opinion it isn't dead at all and offers more hope than many coins. Not many alt-coins will buy you beer/food in a pub or are accepted at online stores for physical goods. It is also still listed on btc-e.

Eh, I wouldn't say FTC is dead, not in the least. Is FTC not as valueable as it once was? Yeah, iirc. But then most coins aren't, even if their value didn't directly drop, or drop much, because of btc's lower value. FTC does reasonably well for value at its difficulty in terms of mining, but it notably fluctuates back down when its profit percentage hits the highest on coinchoose. It somewhat recently went through a slump where it stayed at a really high difficulty with an absurdly low amount of hashrate on the network. It survived that though, and continues to survive. So, to reiterate, no FTC is not dead.

If you want to sell, my suggestion would be to hold off till the UNOCS bridge is released. There may be a rise after that.

So no, the coin is not dead.
It's more alive than ever before :)

ITT investors talking about their "great" coin  ::)

"UNOCS" hype in progress. So if you hold significant amount of FTC, dump it now, before the people initiating the hype ("UNOCS team") will dump it and crash the prices.

Or is there an 51% attack going on to block ftc deposits to btc-e, like last time when forum hype was requested on ftc forum??

yeah keep plugging ur clone coin to more poor suckers why don't you... 222 supporters to add to mtgox.. and it still no further to being added.... network speed oh yeah what about the 51% attack to stop people getting confirms before the hype dump....

If you bought into this i feel sorry for you as there are too many people plugging this coin that really offers nothing new... just an attack on the vulnerable n00bie posters in here.. show me one actual difference between feathercoin and litecoin or BBQcoin?  Invest in an established coin if your funds are limited... only invest what you can afford to loose.... don't listen to the trolls!!

Bottom line... coins that make it out of this very small community and into the hands of the general public will do quite well. The rest, well, they make good digital pokemon card type trading among the hardcore that beat their chests and use words like p0wned.

If your coin is being accepted by brick and mortar establishments, you're probably on the right track!

I have around 2500ftc.

I made a good amount on btc and used some of that to admittedly take a blind gamble on ftc, which evidently I didn't sufficiently research enough by half.

I feel like a bit of a noob right now but it wouldn't be a massive loss even if I lost it all, and you've gotta learn some things the hard way.

Are you serious?

FTC isn't dead. Selling now would be a bad decision unless you have some better use of your funds.

You just happened to buy FTC at the peak of the hype and got burned. I also am kicking myself for not selling at the peak but that is my fault not FTC.

Don't listen to all the haters that say crap like "FTC is a pump and dump" or "FTC has no services" it's all bull.

The FTC team along with their partnership with WDC, and PXC are putting in a lot of effort to make these coins successful. A lot more so then 90% of the other newer coins out there.

If you don't believe me come check out the the respective forums of these coins to see what we are up to.

Personally I am accumulating FTC, WDC, and PXC right now. It may take awhile but these coins will gain traction eventually.

It's more alive then ever

Hopefully not...
I sold it @0.00089 BTC a piece becouse of a FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT pool would not let me payout.
I supported the network with 800 Kh/s becouse everyone else jumped of at the time diff was too damn high and the coin was about to die.
Appeantly the coin survived becouse of me and 10 random Mh/s on the entire network speed.

Well it looks like I chose a convenient time to have made this thread because after sitting at ~.0008 for some time, as has been stated the price has just now started climbing.

I don't know anything about UNOCS so does anyone have a clue as to high this could climb? And what, if any long term future ftc has?

A final pump maybe. Btc-e devs said that ftc and trc might be delisted soon due to blockChain instability and attack attempts.

More out there than Bitcointalk. :)

It doesn't seems to be particularly dead :).

That's interesting.  Is there a site that shows the top 10 coins by network speed?  I might've seen one one time, but can't remember for sure.

I think it had it's moment of hype kinda like Ripple did.  Saw all the threads of people trying to buy it, think that lasted a week or two.

where did BTC-e devs say this?

Addressed the premine and instamine nonsense here:

I look forward to Feather's advanced checkpointing system, should quiet a few more cynics. What do I know? I'm sure we'll hear Feather is dead as it approaches .002, .003, .004 etc... etc...

I could be wrong, I like my chances.

Just for kicks, I might as well add the Feathercoin is Dead video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RV3z2sZniMg&feature=player_embedded

This comes up so often, I thought I'd save time rather than explaining it every time.   

FTC is really the worst clone coin. This coin is a shame. I don't understand why btc-e added it... The dev (I shouldn't even call him developer) didn't even change the genesis block, it is exactly the same than Litecoin.

Uaaaah, what a boring thread, haters gonna hate.

ftc <3

You sound a tad peeved. I bet if you bought a few FTCs at 0.0008 you would be singing a different tune right now.

I dont hate, I just say the truth. Nothing is created, everything is copied even the genesis block. Real developers will know what that means. Sorry if you don't want to hear it, but that's the truth. This ftc coin is a shame.

uh no....pre mine includes giving huge bonus or access in the beginning

http://cryptometer.org/feathercoin_96_hour_charts.html
http://cryptometer.org/feathercoin_90_day_charts.html

oh whats that orders of magnitudes more coins were created in the first day/hours than later days.....sounds fair

contra a real launch

http://cryptometer.org/primecoin_96_hour_charts.html

see that red line, get way above that red line = pre-mine or neo- pre mine

Can't comment on that video there, because comments must first be confirmed by author of the video. Another roflcopter from FTC "dev" team.



No matter how many videos are put out there, 2.8-3 million of coins were minted in the first day, and I doubt there is even 10million coin supply at this moment. I won't bother to check the numbers, its waste of time.

Can someone cite these indications from btc-e?

I'm confused, the FTC blockchain has no records for that address.

Thus the sarcasm.

So could someone please show where btc-e has indicated pulling ftc?

They will pull FTC if they have gone mad. Just see the profits they are raking in with all those trades.
