Mainpost updated.

And deep in the ocean of shitcoins real diamond is waiting for you.

Multipool added.

Feathercoin is still alive?  ???

Of course. What a question ;) - Many things upcoming.

Of course :) It's hard to spot the REAL coins nowadays, because we get blown away by so many bad coins that we forget that there are fantastic coins like, Peercoin, Feathercoin, Primecoin, Namecoin, etc.
These 'oldie' coins have great devs and a very supportive community. And with devs I mean real devs, people that call themself a dev when they bought a coin they are not a dev.

I was a big supporter of Feathercoin back in the days, great to see they still improve the coin :)

Nice to hear that there is progress. To be honest I sold many of my FTC and invested almost everything in NXT because of it's features and its ongoing development. I really like the Feathercoin community and appreciate the work of the devs but I had the feeling that most of the users and devs thought, that FTCs success will come on its own in the future like it happened with Bitcoin. But I think that won't happen, these times are over. Any new or old crypto besides bitcoin can only establish, if there's a very active community and development. That's one reason why I think that LTC will go down soon. Because they don't care about the problems like Asics and huge pools.
I'm watching the further progress and will buy some FTC back perhaps. kind regards.

Thanks guys! The FeathercoinTeam is trying its best to improve everyday. Many people working hard for its success. NeoScrypt moved into the Beta Stage, when its live, Feathercoin is the Leader of its own Algorithm Tier, which should help us to move completely out of Litecoins shaddow.

It is taken serious by many, i.e. popular altcoin mining services like genesis-mining.com bet on it!!

Meet the Feathercoin Team

No, OP is just a bagholder trying to get a pump on feathercoin so he could sell off.

Feathercoin doesnt even have a active dev team and its become worthless, just another shit/scamcoin... nice try OP

Now i have to question your ability to read. But feel free to visit the Forums so u can assure urself Feathercoin isnt dead.

http://forum.feathercoin.com/

I love how people don't even bother researching facts before proving themselves wrong, there's loads going on, more so than with many other "coins", they just don't shout about it  ;D

Feathercoin Android Wallet added.

One thing.. just one thing.. CHANGE THE ALGO.

Development Team is working on it. Beta is ready.

Cool sure fire way to insure no serious investor touches it  ;) carry on ;D

Changing the algo wont help this doomed, clone coin that offers no innovation..nothing at all.

Probably the first post of yours I agree on.
doge kinda took ftc niche spot, not that doge will survive long either.

Ah very refreshing that we have agreed, so I see I've gained myself another follower?  ::)

Listen 2 Feathercoin

I'm very excited for the new algo and imho this is what is urgently needed by FTC. Just bought about 3000 FTC. :)

Sure. Watch LTC die because of their inaction and snobbism.

ETA for ALGO shift?

No ETA so far.

Still enough time to grab cheap coins, I expect weeks.
However this is not official ETA.
When you see official launch and read artiles about Neoscrypt bargain price will be gone...
Buy low ;)

Any idea if forks of CPUminer/BFGminer/CGminer are being developed for NEOscrypt?

CPUminer is in progress, afterwards CGminer is the next stage which needs to be modified.

Great work ! I've always believed in FTC, thats why I kept my 30k Fcoins :)

Update:

CPUminer for NeoScrypt is done.

ASICS/Gridseed support?

Generell we arent against Asics, when the time is right, there will be Gridseed and ASIC support.

So you're saying this new Algo is compatible with scrypt asics...just not the current iteration of the software?

Hive want to add FTC!!!

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178286.msg7697647#msg7697647

No its not compatible with Scrypt Asics. New ones need to be made for NeoScrypt.

But there is still good use for Scrypt ASICS and Neoscrypt.
ASICS can mine at feathercoin multipool and get payouts in FTC (and thus increase buy support).
Multipool details are on the top of this thread.

Press Release #NeoScrypt

Whitepaper to follow.

I'm not one who goes around criticizing coins but am just saying it's always been a mystery how Feathercoin has managed to survive on it's own blockchain for so long?!

It's got exactly the same genesis block, nonce, merkle root and magic bytes as Litecoin. Shouldn't this be causing catastrophic headaches for everyone involved?

There is a solution in the works for this.

Neoscrypt is opensource now:

Is it a good time to buy feathercoin with all these new developments happening?

Well, noone likes to give financial advice, because it's risky business. On the other hand, if you look current development on this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=704588.0 you can make your own conclusions. Once NeoScrypt kicks in, and ASIC miners stop dumping, I guess there should be some differences in price...

I highly doubt that any existing ASIC miners are mining FTC in any meaningful amount.

Feathercoin has lacked on development on all fronts since its inception. I personally see no value in FTC currently.

Have a flick through our newsletters for the last 8 months.. https://www.feathercoin.com/category/Newsletter/ (https://www.feathercoin.com/category/Newsletter/)

Or here's a copy and paste of something you might have missed on the other thread you've replied to..

FTC always been perceived as a coin created simply for the missed the btc boat crowd. Tried to market itself as the something (I have no idea what) to LTC silver of BTC gold but yeah few ever bought that....

So think my question is, whats the point to feather coin?

Smothie,

FTC just evolved Scrypt in certain way (completely different from Scrypt-Jane or Scrypt-N), I don't see nothing wrong at it.
In fact Feathercoin just offered whole Scrypt ecosystem new direction.

We should all be happy somebody is trying to push the algo forward and is developing new aplications.
Especially todays when 90% of new coins are complete scam.
I was never biggest Litecoin fan, but I do like your LTC related products.

I will be very hapy to try my GPUs at this algorithm.

99% of the coins out there are stuck in their ways. They have a niche and think that makes them special. Feathercoin takes the best idea's from these niche coins, and creates an open source solution which can be copied into any other coin.

In the coming months will have what's needed on github to implement ftc into http://projectskyhook.com/

Not that we don't all ready have an open source ATM for ftc that any other coin can copy, but more the better right?

We are one of the few coins who will continue to adapt and evolve. btc and ltc have found their place. They are somewhat set in stone and no longer have the true freedom to experiment with the blockchain technology..

tl:dr - So what is the point?

Feathercoin picks up from where Satoshi left off.

This was the first coin I mined, thought it was almost finished but its getting back. Good luck :)

No thanks.

I've looked prior to this discussion and all I see is the same stuff that should have been done long ago. As I said, Feathercoin is irrelevant in the big picture. That is my opinion.

~A year ago I sold the last of my FTC and haven't looked back...sure enough the price (as on metric of confidence in FTC) is 95-98% down since in terms of Bitcoin.

1. the new algorithm has not stood the test of time. It is new code and very well may have side effects unforeseen. Who knows.

2. This stuff should have been done long before Feathercoin ever launched (over a year ago) as a copy-paste clone of Litecoin.

3. The direction Feathercoin is going is back into the GPU mining arena and will need to compete with 1000's of new coins that can be mined with GPUs/CPUs. What makes feathercoin so special that the majority of that market of miners will choose feathercoin over all the other options? My guess...they likely won't choos Feathercoin.

I am not saying that Feathercoin is a scam or that the FTC community are dishonest etc etc...what I am saying is that I believe Feathercoin is irrelevant. There is nothing that makes FTC stand out from the rest of the alt-coins out there that can be mined with GPU/CPU.

How on earth do you quantify that?

Litecoin Fanboy detected, your arguments are invalid.

It's been tested to the craphouse for a start, second of all, no one saw heartbleed coming along (so basically shit happens), third of all, scrypt it self has already been broken anyway.
Plus if you consider that the year is 2014 and cryptos are still in their infancy, every coin including btc should be considered beta.. That's the point of what were doing right? were all trying and testing a network for peer to peer payments? Anyone who thinks that any coin or algo has "stood the test" doesn't really see the big picture.

Please enlighten me as to what litecoin has done in regards to advancing the the technology itself? hrm?

Good luck selling those supposedly "most profitable" scrypt-alts when they don't have the volume to support those dumps... Why do you think that multicoin mining is, theoretically, more profitable then direct mining?

I respect that but to be honest, ftc is not irrelevant.

It's a safe haven for devs who can't get the chance to try out their idea because litecoin and bitcoin have turned into nazi's..

their.. i said it, the n word.. im sorry but i can't deal with people repeating the same stuff over and over when it is simply just flat out false and misleading and even sometimes, strait out lies.

Thank you for bumping our thread though.

Now i wonder what has litecoin done the last few month regarding development? I guess sooner or later Litecoin will get irrelevant....

You really don't get out much then do you, because thats exactly what 99% of older school coins outside of btc/ltc are saying lol
I call it, at best, a last ditch panic to stay somehow relevant.

I would like to encourage everybody to keep this discussion in civilized way.
Both FTC fanboys and FTC critics.

No need to attack each other.
It is perfectly ok to present your opinios, however try to do it with glance and do not lose your temper  ;)

You know what. My onions are burning and i don't have time for you right now. Catcha tomoz.

It is called looking at the exchange prices. Of course you knew that and had nothing of substance to reply with but to post a ridiculous picture of yourself.  :D

Good job debunking my claims.

Everyone knows I am a Litecoin fanboy. Nothing new. Please keep up as it appear you are quite new around here. Thanks.  ;D

I agree but it appears the slightest amount of opposition in opinion turns some of the FTC supporters here into trolls.

I just wonder if they are insecure about their investment choices as the price has gone the opposite direction of where most supporters would want it to go.

All I did was present my viewpoint as a long time user of cryptocurrencies and instantly got the troll rant from some users here.

As I said, your insecurity with your investment into FTC is showing clear as day.  ;D Good luck with that.

Obviously you missed the part where Litecoin started with development and foresight into the crypto space before it launched in October 2011. I was there, I would know.

You completely missed my point and mistranslated it as well.

My point was that Feathercoin should have started with much of the changes it is doing now especially with the mining algorithm which would have set it apart from the scrypt coins.

If you do your research you will find that Peter Bushnell (FTC developer) basically copy pasted the entire code base of Litecoin and to the point that his client was getting Litecoin updates through the alert system...which in essence showed how inept he was to make the proper changes at the appropriate time.

The free market has made its choice, and to date it hasn't chosen FTC in any way shape or form:

https://btc-e.com/exchange/ftc_btc

vs

https://btc-e.com/exchange/ltc_btc

...as just one example.

Smoothie,

I agree with you that this change should come sooner.
You seems to be pissed off, did you baghold FTC and lost money before?
I remmember you was very active on FTC forum, you have over 300 posts there.

This change is good and FTC will rise in value. Lot of good development is going on and
new talented people are joining our team nowadays for example tmuir12 and Vongiappone.

Please give us peace.
We are performing ressurrection of best coin ever, at least in our eyes.

Thank you.

why would I be mad if I made out well when sold the rest of my FTC roughly one year ago at the spike in early August 2013?

Just calling things as I see it.

Should something have been done earlier, probably.
Is FTC irrelevant, well, I'd say this is decided the same way price for a coin is decided, by anyone and everyone.
It might end up in a big nosedive, or it might be a huge success, nobody knows as of right now. I mean after all, we haven't switched algo yet so how could one know? :)


I find it interesting that everyone seem to deem the future of a coin purely based on how it's traded right now.

"FTC have a low price and low trading volume, hence it's an irrelevant coin that's going to fade away and die."

Does this really make sense? Will the trading volume or price never go up once it's gone down? I fail to see how this kind of argument is even valid in a discussion like this  ???


With that said, I truly respect your opinion smoothie, however I also truly believe that you're wrong about FTC being irrelevant :)

Traded right now?

FTC has been in the gutter for months. Hardly a "right now" supposition of price.

Your opinions are welcome mate but seriously, don't accuse us of trolling when you clearly just came here to poke at the hornets nest.

You've added nothing constructive to the conversation and will continue to run us around in circles. If it were not for the fact that people like yourself help to bump threads where they are visible, I wouldn't even bother.

But because this is sorta really important to the people who have dedicated the last year of all their spare time, I'll humor you for now.

Sorry team - but this is why I never had an account here in the first place.

my point still stands, and with that said I have an honest question for you before we go on debating what's right and wrong :)
Do you honestly believe that once a coin has gone down it's not possible for it to rise again?

Thank you for Bumping our thread Smothie  ;)

BTW looking at all time chart, man this coin have so much potential.
It was pumped several times without any obvious news (except first pump where Justabit scammed us all with unocs).
Now we have major news for the first time...new algorithm.

http://s18.postimg.org/dmbe56pft/Pic0015.jpg

The Sky Hook arrived today as well.

When I get some time coming up, I'll start up a new thread on the forum to get ftc implemented for anyone else to copy.

The worlds first note accepting btc/ftc machine.. Should be neat.

Since my name has been mentioned above I will mention why I am backing FTC.

As also mentioned above FTC has been around for some time.
I don't really care about the origins of how it was originally created.
I like the fact it has always had a strong community.
I remember reading with interest back in March about the creation of Hullcoin which the FTC team helped set up.

A noble cause I thought for the FTC team to help a local government come up and implement a radical new idea to help combat poverty.
Will it work?
No idea, but I applaud Hull city council and the FTC coin team for trying.

What ultimately will make any altcoin succeed?
I don't claim to truly know the answer to that question, but a good starting point is strong community support, to help develop and expand its use, and to that end I'm currently doing my part to develop an Arcade machine payment device based on a Raspberry Pi, which once complete will be released on Github for anyone to freely use.

Smoothie I have no problem with you taking it and using it for Litecoin, as I'm assuming they have a similar API to Feathercoin, and I have no issues with you considering FTC irrelevant, as I do for many other altcoins.
But can I ask you to stop and just contemplate that just because you consider FTC is irrelevant  doesn't mean you are correct.

Rather than spending your energy being negative, why don't you spend it doing something positive?
I look forward to you bringing something positive to the debate, be it about Feathercoin, Litecoin, or some other Alt.

Thank you.

I or one of the team will repost this on the ftc forum and we will all try throw some btc your way.

First your point was never validated after I made my post about it above.

Second, the price can go up. But in the long run I do not see FTC as relevant anymore as it is behind the curve of coin development. Laggards end up holding the bag.

You are welcome. It seems i'm among the few who will post in this thread which again proves my point...interest in FTC is almost non-existent and in my view irrelevant.

Accumulate and sell at a higher price to another unsuspecting investor that may or may not know what to do with their FTC.  :P

Yes it is my opinion, not necessarily "right" or "wrong". But more often than not I have been right in my calls. Please look at my track record before discrediting anything I have to say. Thanks.

Good luck to those who "believe" in FTC.

Sometimes being "negative" isn't about being negative at all. It is about calling things as I see it.

Just because people don't want to hear what I have to say doesn't mean what I have to say is negative.

In your perception what I have to say is negative. But it could be a positive should someone who reads what I write ends up not using FTC and thus not losing money in the future should the market go in the direction they would not have wanted it to.

It depends on how you view it. I believe I am doing a community service by speaking my mind on what I honestly think are good developments, coins, and businesses and outing scams and calling out trolls who have propaganda (not that the last two are in this thread).

I'm curious (honestly curious, not trying to be an ass about what you write) what you base that impression on. When I look at FTC I see a dedicated community of people and a lot of projects going on that have the possibility to push things in a better direction. I see a will to change things for the better, without to much conservatism trying to keep things as they've always been. I also see a coin where influence and new ideas are pretty easy to push for even though you might be a total newcomer to the community.

With that said, yes of course I'm biased (I can probably be labeled as a fanboy). The fact that I see these things, and you seem not to, tells me that we might be way to private about our stuff over at our own forums. Can we improve our coin & community, probably :)

I've followed FTC community for over a year...do you realize how much talking has gone on without actual action? Many of the "developments" that have gone on were merely changing mining parameters to suit themselves and not to keep the rules as is from the beginning. Current events form future trends. FTC was a absolute copy-paste of the Litecoin code base as the alert system was still linked to the Litecoin network meaning FTC clients were getting Litecoin updates which I thought was quite funny.

Do not get me wrong. The people of FTC are likely good people, I just see nothing inspirational that makes me or others want to jump in and add any of our developments, insights, and marketing etc to it as there is little to no value there from a purely crypto-coin perspective.

What you see and what I see are different perhaps because I was there when it launched and went through UNOCS, Jon M., etc.

Perhaps I will be proven wrong, but I do not see FTC being used by the average joe en masse in any meaningful way.

With that said you are attacking the essence of trading. Of course there are idiots buying on top of the pump.
Thanks God for them! I am saying obvious accumulation phase is going on right now, that actually might save some investors from buying to high.
I will not talk to people to buy when the price rocket up...

What is wrong on trading Smothie? This is free market.

How did the Justabit scam work?

Justabit scam:

1. He worked very well for comuninty, welcome new members, organize contests, bounties, motivate other members to work...hell he made 2000 posts in first two months
2. We loved him
3. Then he came up with idea of UNOCS = cooperation of FTC WDC and PXC (at that time some clever members started to be suspicious as PXC had to many red flags)
4. Pump the shit out of the 3 coins instead of 1 only
5. When PXC was later confirmed as 100% scam (after PhenixExchange stole coins from traders) he played dead bug: I am sorry it wasn't working, but I did lot of good work so I suppose you still love me...
6. UNOCS was never meant to work

Justabit is no longer welcomed by FTC, in fact he should rot in prison as he just scammed NXT coin with Cointropolis.
Not sure if he did scam during his PPC era, but wouldn't be surprised...

Our real hero is Ghostlander.
Ghostlander took over develepment of dead PXC as prevoius devs abondoned project (and walked away with stolen money).
Now after months of hard work he finished Neoscrypt.

Nothing wrong with trading. Just can't help but notice the focus in the post I replied to was on trading so I could not help myself with some humor.  :P

Ok than :)

This coin was complete dogshit back when it was popular.  I can't believe you ever fooled anyone even for a single day.

I knew from day one Feather would be a dead ShitCoin in no time simply by the utter lack of imagination and creativity from the devs.

FEATHER?


Seriously?  Why not BeakCoin?  Haha!

Last year any dev could have had their choice of cool and clever coin names yet these idiots chose FEATHER.

Hahahaa.

Oh yeah, one more thing, when feather was trading 50 times higher than iXcoin I told you all Feather [and Beak] coin had not future and that iXcoin would rule and look at that, the coin you arrogant clowns called a dead coin has been sitting at a stable and consistent valuation of ~$1 million all year long and I'm just getting warmed up.

Now ya'll add those sweet features and algos to FEATHER, I'm sure people will run to that copy and paste "innovation".

Bwhaahahahaaa.

Deliverance is SWEET [oh Lord]!

Hey!
Its obviously the name what matters you are right on that.  ::)
- Next point is that nearly every PoW coin out there is a copy and paste of Bitcoin so whats the point on that?
- Iam happy for you that your iXcoin is stable.
- But where comes your hate from?
- If you are not happy with that what Feathercoin is doing, just dont buy/mine any of them?

Regards,
ChekaZ

I don't know why, I've just always hated feathers since I was a baby. Maybe I choked on one or something as a little tyke.  That and the sheer arrogance on display last year from all the feather coin devs.  I couldn't make a single comment which criticized their coin without getting banned.  Had they listened they would have seen this coming and maybe prevented it but then again, how can anyone with no imagination or creativity see anything coming.

Amirite?

I'll stop posting now on this thread - it just felt great to have been right and to see the arrogant finally humbled.

What behavior from the ftc devs? This is news to me as I only started with ftc at the end of last year.


That has all changed now.

Just have a look at what we already have. Plus there's much more in development.

Last night one of the team tipped Coblee ftc via our twitter tipbot.. How many coins can say that they have done that..

I don't understand why people skip reading the first post in this thread and then make themself look like complete idiots.
Why they do it?

Thanks for starting the thread, Chekaz. FTC has been quietly going on about its business and building up. Quite a few will get surprised by it soon.

I think the thing that put me off was feathercoin's lack of genesis block, which suggests the whole thing was a balls-up from the start.

Not sure if justabit was part of a scam there. It seemed to me he had good intentions but he was too noob to see what was coming.

He sure was. Practically self-proclaiming himself a community leader (ok, he had a vote from some of community members because they believed that he has best intentions), then actually really doing some useful work in guerilla marketing style: mobilise people to make some noise by doing different tasks...then came UNOCS as next big thing. Unfortunately noone could actually confirm that it's really being developed. And what did he do before truth was obvious? He dumped shitloads of his coins and after the general panic resulted in decreased coin value he admitted that he already sold everything at peak value. Part of the plan the whole time, or just a instinctive reaction? We will never be sure...but we have many other reasons to have our doubts...

He was a pure pumper and dumper only chasing profit and did not actually give a damn. He had me fooled. Also you know why Feathercoin has a suppressed price don't you? This is part of the reason why we are switching algo. Feathercoin is committed to longevity and we will not be bullied into submission.

+1 he did 90° degree twist after selling on top and leaving his fucnctions to Wesphily.
This was well planed scamm.
Just ask NXT community how happy they are with him. How many bitcoins dissapeared? 40?

It's not a suppressed undervalued price, it's the true price.
The cryptoworld has changed beyond belief within the last year and will continue to do so. Feathercoin fills no niche, hence it is undesirable. I don't see that changing anytime soon.

At least we are not going to be merged mined with tenebrix copy paste called Litecoin.
+ FTC is no longer Litecoin copy paste with Neoscrypt now.

We ain't doin to bad. Considering how many scrypt coins there are..

Litecoin was forked from fairbrix, not tenebrix.

You are correct... oh wait.

This is wrong. Just check the genesis blocks.

ahh. well there ya go.. does it really matter?

ftc was one of the first 24 coins created...

Where are the bulk of those previous 24 now? Most are dead.

Ftc might not be the most interesting coin to trade, but it certainly hasn't lost the spirit.

You will find ftc is often the most profitable coin to mine, even with it's dropping price, which has now steadied out.

If you have large volume you need to sell or buy, ftc has always been able to support it. Why do you think we had to create our own diff retargeting solution that never had any of the issue's of KGW etc..

ftc may not have been much a year ago, but it's come along way and its core supporters are seasoned crypto enthusiast's..

FTC is an old coin ;)

The important is Coblee is not Scrypt inventor what plenty people don't realize today.
I will double check if it was fairbrix or tenebrix, thank you for your comment  ;)

Doesn't matter of course. Just clearing up some misinformation.

Interesting info, thanks. Last year after the alt coin explosion I think somebody tried restarting one of them.

Yes, its surprising that they keep mentioning that LTC started Scrypt.

I honestly think the crypto community needs to go back to it's roots.. After last year, things have gone a little crazy.

So much infighting and angst. Coins are creating tribes and this is driving segregation and prejudice.

What ever happened to us all been in this together?

I think one of the main reasons is a lot of people have jumped on board altcoins for the wrong reasons.
A lot of people look at altcoins as 'get rich quick' schemes, rather than their reason of existence to allow easier cross boarder transactions and provide a medium of exchange that can not be tilted in favor of certain companies of countries like can happen with our current form of transactions.
As well as other reasons of returning the control of peoples wealth to themselves rather than controlled by governments.

If your main purpose for buying an altcoin is to 'get rich quick' you are going to do everything you can to rubbish any competition that may stop that happening, hence we see a lot of people now bagging out other coins to try and help promote the coin they have their money invested in.

I agree it would be a much better place if we all tried to work together, but I can also see a lot of people leaving if they didn't think they had a chance of becoming overnight millionaires by backing the right coin.
Bottom line is I think human nature for greed is what is causing a lot of the infighting in alts at the moment.

Gpuminer for NeoScrypt is in the works.

Tuning on the P2Pmodul and StratumModul is going on to get it ready for the live version.

Updates will follow.

We are still looking for help to implement NeoScrypt into the existing Sg/Cg/Cudaminer, made a new topic for it.

Price to me for FTC is due to lack of interest. The more you change the protocol the more people will think you will continue to change the protocol in the future. Not a good thing when it comes to how some of the best cryptos around have not done that.

Bug fixes do not count as changing the protocol. Feathercoin has changed it much to much for the masses to take it seriously. Hence why I no longer support it.

As for justabit, I had my suspicions but I never wanted to make accusations based on nothing. Good to know for future reference.

How do you spell his name? John M...?

Yeah lol but that argument is about 1 year and 5 months too late. As I believe FTC should have been different from the start. If you follow its history Bushstar basically copy pasted the Litecoin source and called it Feathercoin.

At one point Feathercoin clients were getting Litecoin alerts because he didn't change the code for that.

Changing the algorithm now means nothing. I honestly think this project should have been restarted under a new name. Lessons Obviously were learned the hard way ...this can be proven by the multiple protocol changes over the last 15-18 months.

Don't you love when Noobs try to talk as if they have done their homework...only then to be proven wrong?

It is things like this that remove their credibility to talk about things of the past (say in Litecoin's history).

And Satoshi was not the inventor of SHA-256 ....and your point? lol  ::)

Any coin won't last long if it thinks it's current protocol is future proof (excluding bugs)

Scrypt has been broken.

It's components are outdated and flawed.

NeoScrypt is better than scrypt simply because it is a patch at the very core of coin..  the algo.

Update on the GPUminer. Testing in progress.

My point, my point is I like what Ghostlander did.
I am not exactly sure why I am not the biggest LTC/Coblee fan ... maybe because FTC was first coin I mined and bought with BTC.
Maybe thats also why you like LTC, you was there when LTC started (while I was wasting my time completely unawared of cryptoworld).

Your numbers look good already, thanks for great news!

Time to buy FTC whilst its still cheap, GPU miners are on FTCs test net, making sure everything is rock solid before the switch to neoscrypt.
Date still not set for the switch to Neoscrypt, but it won't be too far away

Well I for one aint buying. Good luck though.

Thank you!

We could all do with some luck if you're into crypto's!

The GPUminer bounty is now officially closed.

1.9btc and 7Mufo has been paid out (https://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php?/topic/7575-neoscrypt-gpu-miner-closed/?p=67245) to Andre from Germany. Thanks mate!

AMD miner will be ready soon. Once it is out in the wild, ftc and ufo will make the change. At that point, the NeoNetwork will be formed (call it what you will)..

Anyone on NeoScrypt, will be able to easily implement any changes and advances ftc manages to discover for the greater crypto community.

I thought FTC was dead.

Far from it.

Hi,

When the network will be forked for change de pow algorithm to neoscrypt?

https://www.feathercoin.com/ down?  ???

Cheers

Dave

We are aiming for late October for the fork date.

In regards to the .com been down. Seems fine to me?

Maybe it was just something temporary.

That is a weak point. Good to know my take still appears to be accurate.

Is there a lite wallet client available for linux? I have some on an old wallet but don't want to downloadable the whole blockchain for it because I haven't used it since last year.  Thanks.

Hi Calem,

Yeah - working for me now.  Maybe it was something at my end.

Cheers

Dave

The wallets available are here: https://www.feathercoin.com/#dls

There's one for android but not sure about linux. You'll have to check it out.

My thoughts too. Good to see it. It's one of the 1st alts.  8)

Nono, still alive and kicking!  8) - NeoScrypt coming this Month!

Waiting eagerly for this. Market is responding positively to it too. Touched 0.0001 BTC today.

After Neo, we have some really awesome projects in the pipeline..

An open source xCrypto exchange built into the Qt is one of em ;)

You mean a distributed exchange? You are moving into the 2.0 space?

With the counterparty success, maybe there will be a Featherparty soon.

Update on MinerX:

MinerX got updated and is ready for NeoScrypt.
New Code is already pushed to github.
New Design (Thanks to iawgoM)
MultiGPU (AMD only) - not activated yet

Final push coming just before Feathercoin doing the transition to NeoScrypt.

Regards,
ChekaZ

ChekaZ, we can have MinerX bundled into a newbies starter kit for NeoMining..

Bundle in the new wallet with the miner. We could write a welcome.txt to accompany it?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=821738.new#new

nice

Feathercoin is still alive?

It is very well much still alive.

Yes we could do that, good point. Final version of MinerX will be out at the 20th of october!

Depends what you define as alive?  :D. It's finding it's feet again it seems. Hoping for big things in the future still.

It was like Christmas for me yesterday.
There was lot of work done and I am very glad the transition went smoothly.
Happy Neoscrypt mining everybody!

It was wasn't it, well more like Christmas eve for me as the fork happened around 2am for me, but the twitter bot stayed up and happily reported the occasion.

Dead man walking   :-*

I actually think this is a good thing. FTC has been a hostage of BTC-e and their "no additional decimal place" policy for too long.

Is there a liteclient or android wallet for ftc? I have some coins on my old computer and don't want to mess about with downloading the entire blockchain all the time.

There is an android wallet.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.schildbach.wallet.feathercoin&hl=en

That is the old wallet and does not currently support Neoscrypt, the replacement wallet does not either, but it actively being worked on to correct this.
I just got an update last night that they had got past the first hurdle implementing Neoscrypt in the Android wallet, but they still had some other issues to solve.

So is there no working lite wallet? I've just realised I also need to get some coins off btc-e before they delist them at the end of the month. I really don't want to download the ftc qt as it's impractical.

You dont need to download the whole blockchain, you can just put it into cold storage if you dont want to trade them in the near future, otherwise you can use cryptsy/bittrex wallets to store them for a short amount of time.

Hey Guys!

Sorry for the delayed update. Many great things are in the works.

-New Core update.
-Multisig
-SX

ACP remove soon? ;)

Stay tuned for updates.

nice am update finally looking forward to it.

even microguys goldcoin junk is doing better and has way more volume
 R.I.P. (should not be hard with all those feathers around)

Doing better in which way?

FTC got 5 BTC volume only at Cryptsy, isnt that much tbh but more than most other coins out there.

is the current website the new one?

Nope, that's still the old one...

I think your definition of nice is different to mine  :D. I've still got a couple of thousand of ftc and they're the only coin I've made a loss on so far but may as well hold on to them and hope for the best. I'm not enthusiastic though  ???.

no new website?

We got a new Forum, not new website. - Forum got a software update.

page not found :(

anyone have bootstrap.dat? my wallet downloading block to slow..

Well, this coin is mined mainly by Danila bot on Ipominer, as was VTC before. I have mixed feelings about this things. Basically most of the new supply is coming from one entity.

New Feathercoin Daemon is out, check it out: http://forum.feathercoin.com/topic/8251/feathercoin-core-0-11-1-1-launch/2

Maybe you could add a list of pools? I recently setup a p2pool node at http://104.236.34.9:19327/

Also maybe update the OP with the newest newsletter?

it's the solo mining removed for this coin, i'm not able to do it, and it work with other coin, so it must be this coin

Yes, I think it was. The last time I tried I was unable to solo mine feathercoin. I ended up setting up my own P2Pool. http://104.236.34.9:19327/static/

why this decision? solo mining is the true essence of decentralization, and it's more fun to be honest

A few reasons really.

#1 I was unable to successfully solo mine
#2 I dont think a "solo pool" exists for feathercoin
#3 I already pay for a VPS to run a Feathercoin full node so setting up a P2Pool node was easy
#3a The small (very very small) fee I get for running P2Pool node helps pay for the VPS

While P2Pool isnt the same as solo it has its pro's as well.

i have noticed that the first address that is created when you create a wallet with the client, is not a valid address it begins with "7" and not the "6", why this thing?

ok it was the wallet that was corrupted or bugged or whatever, never seen this before, i created a new one and now the first address there, begins with the six

"Only Inbuilt Solomining is removed. Its not effective to mine via CPU. Thats why it is removed. You can still solomine it via CG/SGminer with your GPU"


Iam going to forward this.

Regards,
ChekaZ

i tried again but i was not able to solomine with my nvidia, are you sure you can solomine? everything is write on my end, to avoid wasting time i just copied another config coin and changed the name and the port, therefore it should work, but nothing...

maybe i'm using the wrong client? i'm with the 0.9.3.1

Fresh updated!

Anyone know what caused the 114BTC buy surge of FTC in the last 24 hours on Bittrex?

The cool of feathercoin is that you can still make a good number of coins because the difficulty is not yet so high. And with this whole ASIC rumor I have realized that it is increasing the difficulty quickly. Moreover, they began to accept FTC trading by LTC in cryptonit. Feathercoin (FTC), on the other hand, is much more recent: it combines some of the security features of PPC with the lightness offered by LTC.

someone just likes repeating history and trying to mimic this exact time last year (look at the chart)  ;)

someone is waiting to change the reward

superSLEEPER is FTC
timestamp me!

Dev should create a Cryptopia launch forum.  It'll bring up the rating from 3.5 stars on Coin Info.

-Cryptopia Mod

Lots of exciting stuff. Nice work putting it all together

Just looked up the rating system at Cryptopia. It lists FTC as not having a web/paper wallet.

First, why are these categorized together as they are totally different? Second, there is no web wallet but there is a paper wallet, one can be seen here: https://forum.feathercoin.com/topic/7794/ftc-paper-wallet 

I help update Coin Info but I'm relatively new there. It was already in play before I got there. i'll fix it any time buddy.  Don't sweat it.

Anything you see that doesn't belong there, PM me.

it is back to 5 stars now
