Just downloaded and synced up a new wallet- no issues at all, but it did take about 3 days to sync.

I never understand why this coin isn't more valuable. Its got a great name and logo. People always seem not too far away to help with issues.

Even some of the rating sites like it:

CoinWarz: 19th
CoinGecko: 59th


But you look up the market cap against other coins and its usually around 300th.

Hi

Anyone able to update the intro to this thread? Thought I would do a little re-write and fix some of the grammar if you want it.

Created in 2013, Feathercoin is one of the oldest and most reliable cryptocurrencies. Since its start as a Litecoin clone, FTC came a long way. It utilizes a unique ASIC resistant algorithm that allows everyday people to continuing mining with just their CPU's and GPU's. Compared against Bitcoin, Feathercoin can offer faster and more scalable transactions and improved decentralization. Its swift, secure and reasonably distributed network is the backbone of Feathercoin. A secure hobbyist network continues to mine the coin, but we are building advanced functionality as well including: anonymous transactions, user friendly multisig, comments ín blockchain, 3rd party wallet plugins and more. FTC is one of the most secure cryptocurrencies available. Its a safe store of value due to its well balanced distribution model and long term development support. Feathercoin thrives as a leader in the cryptocurrency movement to replace traditional banking systems.

Sounds amazing! Can't wait to see it.

Lower?! How much lower do you need it?

If there is a pump going on, its happening across all the alts. I think its genuine market interest. The prices have spent about 18 months dropping and BTC is cheap enough now that for a few thousand or hundred dollars you can buy a substantial % of an alt coin's total supply.

Vert was definitely a pump though, crazy.

I am definitely a Litcoin fan and I've owned and mined them since 2013.

Thanks. Come to think of it, I have the wallet backed up on another older computer. Maybe if I just open that copy the problem will resolve, but otherwise, thanks so much for the advice! I'm sure something will work.

Hey Litecoin fans. Can someone direct me as to how to fix my wallet please? I would be very appreciative. I sent a few transactions about a month ago that never went through and never were confirmed. The transactions are listed in my wallet and the balance reflects that the LTC was moved out, but ultimately it never arrived where I sent it and was never confirmed even once. Everything is fully synced as well so I'm not sure what to do about it.

Got it, thanks Vegas. Good to hear.

I think the last year of ever falling prices on all coins has driven a lot of people to give up.

I can't find contact details for the website, but I messaged the person who opened this thread.

I think the biggest priorities are updating this thread and the website. They're full of dead links and it looks like no one represents the coin anymore.

Also thanks for posting the blockchain for people, thats the most useful thing going on here. Ideally with someone maintaining the website and thread regularly we could keep a new link for people so they don't have to ask.

I'm willing to help pay for some upkeep and maintenance, just need to find the person running things.


Here's a video I did for Riecoin:

I'd say by default we can both consider ourselves affiliated with Fastcoin.

Hey Vegas, awesome to hear thanks!

I'm just in general looking to help.

I can create a new video if you need it. Donate to your foundation. Help keep this thread active...

Ghost town, maybe I'll try the website.

So fast, so messy.

Ultimately orphaned blocks will throw off automated estimates, but the reward remains unpredictable and decentralized so its the same for everyone right?

This coin is still the fastest and has the longest blockchain. Neither of those things are very useful for the purposes of being a currency, but they are novelties and they are definitely one of a kind. My thoughts are that one of a kind novelties are enough to maintain value, especially if you believe in blockchain tech. I personally think blockchains are the future and any that have been around for a while, used as currency or not, will one day be worth something. Look at Namecoin, its been one of the top market caps for a long time and can serve no purpose as currency. Bitcoin also maintains a much higher value solely from being the first and having the best known name (the ultimate in one of a kind status).

Also. Since Fastcoin has been around now for 2 years, and there isn't really much of a reason to make a faster coin, it would likely never lose its claim on having the longest blockchain provided it can keep a community of miners interested. If someone tried to build hype around a new coin with the intention of building a longer blockchain, they'd have a hell of a time getting people interested, a hell of a time writing something that works properly and it would take many years to catch up...IF one day blockchains are everything and replace traditional currencies space on the longest existing blockchain will be worth money. Its also conceivable that future people could fix problems with the code and/or overcome them with hardware. So IF blockchains succeed and IF Fastcoin survives to see that day, Fastcoin will be worth a fortune.

Just my thoughts. I've been following Fastcoin for years, through the ups and downs. Love the name too, I think that's worth a lot.

Also, I do internet marketing and make videos. I'll have time over the next couple months to work on Fastcoin. Is there a dev around still? Does someone want to run a foundation (I will donate)? We could fund promotions, development and exposure...Msg me or talk here. Thanks!

I don't think its a scam and it has some notable backers. Instead I think its an attempt to take on Bitcoin and cryptos for low international fees. Basically you purchase a digital representation of gold they have in a vault somewhere. To make an international transfer, you would transfer your ownership of that gold to someone abroad. But make no mistake they are not using a blockchain, its 100% centralized and operated by a company. It has absolutely nothing to do with BTC whatsoever beyond taking on Bitcoin through marketing with the word "bit".

If you're into Bitcoin for low fees, it might be worth looking at. If you're here for the innovation, the infallibility, incorruptibility and free market of decentralized cryptos - its definitely not for you.

At the end of the day it is absolutely no different than standard banking except that the asset they back the bank with is gold and they promise not to create any debt. So they promise not to create more digital Bitgold money than there is real gold in their vault. The big failing with this is that its in their best interest to put more bitgold on their books than they have in their vaults. And if they don't break their promise about creating debt, someone else surely will because it would be the most obvious way to profit from the business they are running. If its successful and they are honest, they are doomed to be run out of business by more profitable competitors offering the same service but being smarter about it.

I'm going to be angry with myself when I remember the damn name. Point is. Someone opened up their own currency in China pre-bitcoin. It became popular with locals and merchants. Fully in use as a currency within a region. . . Seeing it as a threat to authority, Chinese government descended on their head offices and shut it down, arrested a bunch of people. They would have done the same thing to Bitcoin 5 years ago, but decentralization makes it impossible stop. That's what makes Bitcoin different. You take away the decentralization you have nothing. What's the point?

And its happened over and over in history. Currency is sovereignty. You set up your own currency you are declaring sovereignty. Governments don't generally like you doing that within their borders.

So true. Evident by the fact that NO centralized coin has a future. Unless you have a border and an army, you can't host a centralized currency. Its only inevitable you get shut down by the local authority. What was the name of that crap China shut down a couple years prior to Bitcoin, can't remember.

My theory, they are one and the same. . . The only people guaranteed to make some money from a new coin are the exchanges. I'll bet they have a whole team of people creating anonymous dev, anonymous code, coins. Why not?

Cool, just wondering what the amount is now though? 0.5BTC would be worth over a million ROS by now. 300k of ROS would only be around 0.1BTC or about $35. Its just not enough anymore as it stands.

Hi

I love cryptos, anonymity and decentralization. Here are samples of my work:

I write scripts, perform voice overs and produce video.

I'm happy to take a bounty in your coin as payment. I'm also a long term believer. I won't cash out my bounty for BTC, I'll stick around and try to help you make your project a success.

Shoot me a message, I'm open to discussions.

Thank you,
Remi

Yea man, you too, good to see you... Every coin has potential. The chocolate angle is interesting. I haven't bought any ROS, but I'd work for some if it was offered.

But seriously what is with the 66% of supply trade? Thats insane. Is this monopolized?

Hey and thanks to all our arguing I am now a Sr. Bitcointalk Member!

Hey Ros fans.

Whats the deal with the trade of Ros that happened on Bittrex a couple days ago? 50 million coins in one trade, that's 66% of the total supply isn't it? Who has that much?!

I'm a video editor. I'd be happy to take on ROS if there is still a bounty being offered. Here are samples of my crypto video work:

Don't think so either. Followed through with everything they said they'd do and on time. Launch was fair. Coin supply is stable.

Dev is anonymous and quiet, code is not released for anon wallet.

Supercoin dev, worked with Mammoth dev to create the anon wallet. Supercoin dev said about 2 weeks ago that he's quitting and open to releasing the code once a new dev team is found to maintain it.

Superdev said he would release the code quietly to the new dev, who would then have 1 week before the transfer is announced. During that week he could A)check make sure the code is legit B)once verified buy a ton of SUPER before anyone else knows whats happening. Makes it easily profitable and since the coin is already working properly, there isn't even any pressing work to be done. Review, buy, show your face, profit.

Conversely, a renowned dev wants to release a new coin and own a lot of the total supply, they can't. If they do an unfair launch, no one trusts the coin and it tanks. If they try to buy during the initial selling phase, they'll blow their money on the inflated prices that come with a new coin. If they try to "go quiet" to lower the price for buying, it hurts their reputation, which hurts the coin.

This is a unique opportunity actually. A known dev who wants to make some quick money, this is the place.

There is also no risk. If they get the code and find out its a fake, they just walk away.
