Bumping due to increased offer  Smiley
2743  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / FC/LTC - Want to buy 10k Feathercoin for 110 LTC on: April 22, 2013, 11:39:56 AM
Done some research and seems like the going rate is 11LTC per 1000 FC.

So, 10k FC for 110 LTC.

PM me please with what FC you have available. I am paying with Litecoin only. Willing to buy large amounts.

Thanks.

Also just to clarify, I just registered this forum account but have been using bitcoin for almost 2 years now. See my post history for proof.

Those suggestions of yours are awesome.

If your suggestions were combined with everything else in this topic MC2 would be amazing. Truly a Bitcoin 2.0
2745  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: **OFFICIAL? - My BTC-e Account Got Hacked and All Funds Stolen thread on: April 20, 2013, 09:17:07 PM
Just as a heads up to people, if you adjust your account settings so that you need to be sent an email to make a withdrawal, a hacker who gains access can't change your email address until you validate the change email request via a link sent to your email. So the hacker will need to hack your email address too. If you set up google 2 factor authentication on your email this should be nigh-on impossible unless the hacker gains access to your phone as well.

This was not the case when my account got breached, or it was just simply bypassed. My email and password were changed, and funds withdrawn.

Just an update, I can't get any responses from BTC-e support that have more than a few words of broken english, so I will consider my 4.55 BTC lost as a hard lesson learned:
if it looks like a website from the aol 5.0 era, it's probably just as secure.



Hmm. I've tested this on my account and if I have the 'Withdraw only with request on E-Mail' enabled, to then change the email address or turn off the 'Withdraw only with request on E-Mail' I have to confirm the change by email (This is the first thing I checked months back when I joined btc-e.com, because I realised otherwise it makes the whole email confirmation feature unsafe and pointless if a hacker accesses your acount). Not calling you are a liar but are you absolutely sure you had the 'Withdraw only with request on E-Mail' enabled? If I gave a hacker my password he wouldn't be able to withdraw my funds because he needs my email account to disable the withdraw protection.

Yeah they're just busy no doubt trying to upgrade their servers, handle the ddos attacks, upgrade trading engine etc.

When they said 1-2 weeks I always read that as 2-4 weeks, knowing that these things usually get delayed.

People should tweet magictux, he tends to answer these sorts of things if he receives enough tweets about it.  Wink

Don't forget, people who aren't clued up on this Ripple scam are actually spending their hard earned BTC on these XRP, unaware that billions more are going to be dumped onto the market, lowering the price of XRP further. This has already started to happen.

What's the point in buying XRP when so many of the XRP are being held back and aren't in the money supply yet.
2750  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Petition BTC-e to add FC Feathercoin! And 20 000 FC Bounty For First FC Exchange on: April 20, 2013, 05:25:34 PM
People are just mining the crap out of these Feathercoins because the difficulty is so low and they hope it will somehow take off like Litecoin. Let's see where it is 3 months from now, after another 10 clone coins have popped up and something else is flavour of the month.
2751  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ripples getting debased? on: April 20, 2013, 02:10:26 PM
This was always going to happen because they've gone on record saying they plan to give more of their 80 billion XRP away.

People buying Ripples now aren't very smart, there is a huge supply of them still to be dumped onto the market by the creators and we all know how increased supply affects the price.

Why doesn't someone send magictux a tweet on twitter? He seems to like replying to them  Cheesy

Maybe if a few guys ask him he will give an update?
2753  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: List of all cryptocoins on: April 20, 2013, 01:47:14 PM
hey xoror 

I checked with the feathercoin dev and he said feathercoin isn't 4 times faster than litecoin, it's just 4 times the coin cap. Would you mind updating your original post?  Wink

He said here would contact you asking to correct the text in your topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178286.msg1887033#msg1887033

I'm not anti-feathercoin btw I am buying them up. But I would have bought a lot more if I had thought they were 4 times faster than Litecoin, which apparently they are not.  Smiley
2754  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Litecoin FPGA Production - Serious Inquiry on: April 19, 2013, 10:37:36 PM
I have my own Scrypt code for Xilinx FPGA and a pluggable rack system, that takes 10 boards, I had to mux them as 8+2 hot spares.(yep sometimes they drop in & out of service randomly)

Unfortunately...
Performance is shite...... insofar as comparison to high-end CPU or GPUs.
Who knows if I can get an improvement but it is going to be very hard to beat the GPU thrughput Vrs cost.

Interesting. Thanks for the detailed post, especially the last part where you share your results.

This is good news as far as I am concerned, the whole point of Litecoin using Scrypt was so it would be difficult for specialised hardware to have a massive performance edge.
2755  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [WTS] 1000 Feathercoin for 20 LTC on: April 19, 2013, 08:31:47 PM
Sorry but feather value is 0.

I offer you 1ltc for 10000fc

Regards
Sorry but stop trolling. Feather value is technically around 1 ltc/200 ftc right now, but the popularity is high and so the value is probably going to rise with time just like litecoin.
You're out of your mind if you think an altcoin released 2 days ago has that kind of value. Where's the FC exchange? Where's all the shops accepting FC? Where's the value outside of what the miners WISH the value was at? Litecoin rose because it has businesses and services built up that support it, and is about to be traded on the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world.

There is 0 value outside of 'perceived' (and i use that word really loosely) value from those with a vested mining interest.

I used to think this way until i realised the price really is determined by what people want to pay for it. If people right now want to pay that much money then that is it's market value by definition. But remember, it's all hype right now, whether the price maintains that value or grows is another matter.
2756  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Impossible to follow anything here anymore. on: April 19, 2013, 08:29:12 PM
Subforum for trading is definitely needed... all these selling 10 000 justminedcoins for 1BTC is killing this part of the forum

Agreed.

This is desperately needed.
2757  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: FeatherCoin - New Litecoin based coin on: April 19, 2013, 08:27:42 PM
I'm calling scam (not just useless coin) on this entire 'operation'. Pools don't pay out, obvious 'pre mining' for a small group of early adopters and NO early adoption of coin except for forum sales.

Have you tried the FC Simple Pool?  I have been using it for 30 hours and have received multiple payouts.  Point your cgminer here:  http://fpool1.zapto.org:28339

I don't think it's a scam. There is no premine, and pools used to pay regular yesterday. Altpool is still working and accepting my shares, though website is under maintance now.

Depends heavily on what you call premine. First 5 miners threw something like 5MH @ mining and scraped together millions of coins in hours at ultra low difficulty. Launching an altcoin with 200 block reward and early miners finding 1000s of blocks an hour qualifies as premine to me.

There's less than 4 million coins... so you're saying 5 people have all coins? lol if you want to call something a premine look at Mincoin that has 2mnc/block but gave people 500/block the first days worth of blocks, 100/block the 2nd day and 50/block the 3rd

Did I ever say 5 people have 'all coin' or are you just mentally challenged?

I agree that this coin was a bit unfair. Why was there no notice given? If there's no warning or notice at least make the starting difficulty a little bit higher
2758  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: LTC on GOX on: April 19, 2013, 08:21:45 PM
if it will be on gox, in week it will go up about 100% i think Smiley
But i didnt saw any news about LTC in mtgox.

100%? When the rumors started the price already went from $0,80 to $5,50 for a few days...

Not strictly true, Litecoin broke $1 quite a few hours before the gox news surfaced, I was on btc-e.com when it happened and when it broke $1 it went on a mini-bull run independently of the mtgox news. Then of course later that day the mtgox news surfaced and it gave it a ridiculous boost.
2759  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Don't trust ripple! It's a get rich quick scheme for the creators. on: April 19, 2013, 05:04:00 PM
- Closed source
- Created by a profit driven entity
- Centralised
- Still unclear, ambiguous and complicated
- Creators have given themselves 80% of the money supply just because they felt like it. No specific announcements what's going to happen to these 80 billion XRP other than some vague mumblings about giving some more away
- A multitude of suspicious accounts on this forum that are extremely 'pro-Ripple' and were created after Ripple started their XRP giveaway
2760  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: FeatherCoin - New Litecoin based coin on: April 19, 2013, 05:00:09 PM
Can someone please confirm, is this coin really 4 times faster than Litecoin?

Thank you  Cheesy

it is, if i'ld mine LTC in a pool with my current hashrate, or i mine FC, i get about 4.03 times as many FC as LTC Smiley

What I mean is, when doing Feathercoin transactions are the confirmations 4 times faster than Litecoin's confirmations?

Anyone?  Smiley

Does no-one know?

No, this is a more abundant version of LiteCoin. I'm not sure how well the network would handle four more times the amount of blocks in a single period. I think something along those lines have been tried before with some issues.

Many thanks for the official reply.

The cryptocurrency list states: FC FeatherCoin- yet another LTC clone. 4 times more coins, 4 times faster. Is it ok if I post in that topic alerting the author that it's 4 times more coins but not 4 times faster? Or..?

Btw I am not bashing the coin, I am creating a topic to buy some later... just want to know the actual facts.
