Bitcoin Forum

I have been mining LTC for a few weeks, and it has gone well, I have a little over 4000 Khash worth of GPUs pimping LTC for me.

But I'm thinking of switching over to mining Feathercoin (FTC).  Mainly for the following reasons:

1. FTC is supported on several exchanges, I can trade FTC for BTC or FTC for US Dollars.

2. Lower difficulty, can mine more coins faster.

3. Much lower price, more room to grow my profit.

My ultimate goal is to trade whatever coins I have for US Dollars, I have no plans to try and buy anything with any kind of coins directly.

Plus, some big GPU farms have switched to mining LTC from BTC recently, raising the difficulty and reducing my profit.

With FTC currently around 10 cents, I think it has a lot more room to rise and make me more profit than LTC, but having said that, I think LTC could also possibly bounce high, like $50 to $100 eventually if it becomes more widely accepted.

just mine what is more profitable at this moment and sell to other coins like ltc or btc ...
simplest and best way

Good idea! Stop mining LTC. Don't mine LTC again, please.

i can see why you'ld go the way of FTC, LTC isn't getting too much publicity lately, and the Gox debacle just continues (although we all saw that coming in fairness.

But FeatherCoin isn't being talked about at all, so not sure what that'll do with the value....

Mining is a risk anyway :)

Maybe what we all need is a good, organized pump and dump scheme on a coin.  Pick a coin, mine the hell out of it, create some BS stories to get the price up, and unload it.

Profit for all but the exchanges, and who cares about them?   ;D

huh? The exchanges aren't buying the coins...other people are.

I dont have time for this.
Mine FTC, it is a good choice, difficulty is still low and development team is strong (http://forum.feathercoin.com/)
Dont listen to guy with DGC!scam picure as profile :)

I will forever mine ftc with at least 1/4th of my hashrate. I can totally see the value rising with btc in the coming months.

16+MH/s pointed at FTC since the very early days. Has served me well... So well in fact that i even started up a PPS pool (http://ftcpps.nut2pools.com) for it. ;)

Multiminer or multipool.us serves a much better purpose. Plus I've been keeping an eye on coinchoose. This last week, LTC has been on the top of the list more often than FTC. Don't just go for lower diff. You also have to anticipate how far their exchange value will rise. And as the LTC saying goes 'the silver to bitcoin's gold'

Multipols and coinchoose etc are fine if you are looking to dump right away. If however you are speculating and waiting for growth then i think FTC is a much better bet. More chance that FTC will hit .0018 than LTC .04 - both of which are a 100% increase. ;)

been mining ftc for a long time now. never looked back to ltc.
you should have a look at the feathercoin community @ feathercoin.com

and as regards to no one talks about ftc? reaaally? have you been asleep the last 6months?

Mining FTC straight for the last few months with 2MH. In my opinion Feathercoin is a longterm thing, ofc the price goes up and down, but it doesnt matter. If the support is behind, it will rise, slow but steady.

You don't seem to understand how an exchange works.

Yes, they have a very strong and mentally challenged development scam team.




Does anyone here remember how many times FTC has been 51% attacked?

Yo pump and dump! that's what I do! Look at the condition of WDC over at cryptsy right now, I partially caused that :D Gotta love playing around with these stuff.

How could you not... 90% of these coins are made just for that. I always keep about half of my hashing in FTC though to keep for the long term.

Yeah I love cryptos for their novel concept, not really making a lot of money (electricity an all). Besides these scam coins are a perfect testbed for learning how to trade on exchanges before I put real money into stocks  ;D plus this is phun

That's a good point. I mined Alphacoins for a while just because I could get hundreds really quickly and it was fun selling those for a while until it started tanking.

Well, we have ACP in place in now so 51% attacks are a thing of the past.  :P

Wow, you just won the award for most stupid reply on a forum ever?

I don't have time for little idiots like you either, but i'll make some time for ya, how's that?

There is nothing wrong with DigitalCoin, but i'll let you have your opinion.

My reply was an objective response to his question about LTC or FTC, and i gave him my opinion.

The fact that you feel the need to involve another coin, which has absolutely nothing to do with this thread, shows how unknowing you are of anything going on outside your little bubble.

Grow up, and think twice before you post something stupid.

Best that less is said about that the better I think. Didn't go down to well.

Its easy, mine both  ;D ;D

Try MEC for a while. I guess you'll like it and keep mining it, when you see that the diff filter is absolutely normal. No huge/insane diff jumps.

Correct, because not many are digging it. I was doing MEC this week, WDC the week before. Honestly I made far more with MEC. And I don't even have an MEC wallet :D

You should get one/ it's beautiful. Plus the developer is very competent and you never know what he may come up with. Don't sell them all!!

Well jdebunt, if you want us to take DGC seriously, you should try to get its price above its' all time high of SIX CENTS, and it has been at 2-3 cents for months.  I consider it a scam coin now, although part of me still wants to see it pop sky high.

There was a time back in about July when I considered buying DGC for cash, and that day its price went from three cents to four cents, and then that week it popped to SIX cents and I nearly had a heart attack.  AAAHHH!!! IT'S GOING UP WITHOUT ME!!!!!  EVERY PENNY IT RISES IS LOST PROFIT OPPORTUNITY FOR ME!!!!!

But then I still didn't buy it, and it dropped to five....four....three....two cents.

Boy am I glad I didn't buy DigitalCoin!   ;D

Why wouldn't you just mine the most profitable coin and trade it for whatever coin you are interested in?

I'm not a DGC developer or investor, so i can't pump the price as much as i'ld like :)

Things will change soon i think, we'll see :)

Multipool has failed twice within a week. Fix your site, before people migrate elsewhere. I'm moving to middlecoin instead.

Yep, I believe DGC will rise. There will always be naysayers...but then market is indeed flooded with shit-scamcoins. I'm betting on LTC/FTC/DGC/CRC/MEC

Excellent, now you only have centralization!!!!

SWEEEEEEEEETT!!!

All sites have issues.  Good luck finding someone who puts in as much time and gives as much personal attention to their users as I do.

Don't worry, I'll be back ;D I love your site and the pretty graphs, the UI is something most pools don't concentrate on unlike yours. But when it crashes twice in a week...well you know. Hopefully the site will be stable soon. Btw you need to get coins that peak on coinschoose/coinwarz (Orbitcoin/Anoncoin) and not stuff like LKY/ARG
