Is this normal for Feathercoin right now or should I be worried? This is the first time I have fired up my FC client for days and it's quite a large transaction.

Anything I can do or is it a matter of waiting?

It's dead.. no one is mining it anymore, no new blocks are found and therefore your transaction will not be confirmed...

next re-estimate is too far away:

Can you PM me the transaction details and your output of getmininginfo?

PM'd you! Cheers.

PM'd my details too, transaction has been stuck for over an hour :(

My transaction too stuck!   >:(

At the moment it's normal as we are a bit short on hashing power.

If there are any miners that fancy lending some hashes for a couple of days to get the confirmations flowing again and help with the diff re-target (even if only for a short while) head over to http://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php?topic=364.0 and join the list of helpers...

BushStar thinks it's the low hashrate.

Come on guys, rally that hashrate back up for papa.

Yesterday I was transferring around some FTC and it took 6 hours for 6 confirmations. I literally watched the market crashing while I tried to transfer coin. Everyone ran from the coin so there's no hash rate.

I also did a couple different transactions and ramped up the donation amount, didn't help at all.

Stupid frustrating.

Yeah, confirmations are a bit slow, but some people are still mining.  They're attempting to rally.

I've been able to push transactions, slow, but still possible.

Feathercoin is dead, didn't you guys get the "memo"

Been stuck at 0 confirms for almost 2 hours.

Any tips on how to speed this mutha up?

Convince a few thousand people to start mining an unprofitable coin for several days to hit re-target.

Thanks for dropping by TheSwede75 :)

While we are looking at technical solutions some members started a rally and asked others to join in. It seems that some are willing to contribute which really shows some community spirit. It is good to see some people who do not just mine for profit like myself.

I want to see diff back to 0.27, not 27. If I helped this would not happen.

I thought I should mention that it will not go to 27 but to 47. The mining stats page does not have a lower limit which I will get fixed.

shouldn't it go to like difficulty 1-2 with only 750 kh/s network speed?

once they solve all the blocks to get up to the difficulty change, it'll probably go down quite a bit, but until then.. hash and wait!

It's about 730 MH/s

A transaction I made about 2-3 days ago took 3 1/2 hours for 8 confirms. Crossing my fingers that another one I just made confirms in a day...

Hmm... 730MH/s, in which case 27 sound just about right (2.5 minutes per block) (though it will go to 47 first?). I miss the days when litecoin's diff was < 30 :).

Great one!  ;D

I've got 6000 khash available that I'm willing to point to FTC for anyone who offers me 20LTC / 24 hours of hashing.

I also have a transaction that has been taking forever and I'm still stuck on 0 confirms, too...  :(

last transaction took about 6 hours, sent 10 hours ago

I woke up this morning and this transaction had gone through for me overnight.

good idea

I've got 6000 khash as well that I'll contribute to point to FTC for 15LTC / 24 hours of hashing.  Payment up front.

I have 5300khash. 13LTC / 24hours. Payment up front.

how many blocks to go until difficulty?

It's good that some alts are dying now.

+1

Glad I sold off my feathers! 

Now if only CNC can spike up so I can dump them off too Ill be a happy camper!

Hehe if only that shitty crap ass pool I was mining on did not have a minimal 20FTC payout option I at least had some stuff in reward (although it probably would be a loss at the end of the line)
Now I am stuck with 25 coins and do not know what to do with them.

Trowing in my small 1 mh/s wont be the day saver I guess.

Well: 21 day(s), 11 hour(s), 56 min, 7 sec (quoted of the official website)
I wonder if it will ever make it to that date or just tottaly dry out.

Then we should wait a few months, so that the diff has lowered to an super-low diff and then mine the shit out of it again = hopefully profit. (Like BQC did, atleast i think it was that coin)

The plain fact is, no single coin is more profitable to mine than Bitcoin, which was differend a few days ago, and a wee ago, Featercoin was 350% more profitable than Bitcoin, but then diff jumped absurdly high and thus in essence digging its own grave I guess.

So that IS a lesson made, make the goddamn readjustments faster, like 2 weeks maximum.

I agree. The difficulty adjust needs to be quicker for coins that cannot take some hash rate for granted like Bitcoin and Litecoin. We still have 400,000KH but that still makes it a long time till readjust. We are looking to implement a four times quicker difficulty change with 40% maximum difference on difficulty.
