Hi, I actually believe dogecoin was the 2nd crypto and they showed their ATM at Coinfest in Vancouver earlier this year.

I don't know if anyone would be interested in planning early, but in April we'll be celebrating our one year birthday at The Oxford Blue, so I don't know if people in the UK would like to plan in advance for a trip to Oxford? ? It'll be on April 26th, if you're interested.

Thanks shinep

Appreciate that people are wishing us luck

Hi Jacko

Thanks for the kind words.  Really looking forward to it.

We're hoping to have a live stream of the some of the event so will try and remember to post the link address here tomorrow

Hi Chirale, It'll be great to see you tomorrow,  follow the link for pictures https://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php?/topic/6807-the-heroes-feathercoin-weekly-news-25/

We'll also be pushing the fund raising for Prostate Cancer UK with a little raffle tomorrow

hi hilariousandco

Check my previous post, there is a link to the news letter with ATM pictures

Hope you're well?

Heres our latest news letter and a look at our new ATM https://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php?/topic/6807-the-heroes-feathercoin-weekly-news-25/

Today's news is brought to you by the heroes. The ones who stick by you through thick and thin, who know how to say 'no' to the time wasters because they already said YES to something more important. The people whose values are clear and who turn up everyday hungrier than the day before.

I'm a big fan of Authentic Enthusiasm. It's about reaching a point in your life where you just understand what makes you unique, you finally realise what it is you are here to learn and have to give. It stands opposed to False Enthusiasm, which is an ego driven excitement. It's getting caught up in general mood and being carried away by it rather than responding authentically and giving out what is uniquely yours.

When we first get excited about an idea it's very hard to know whether the idea will still excite us tomorrow or next week. It's hard to know whether we will be able to keep our energy levels up during the dip. I can't lie, I don't have a conclusive answer on how to tell the difference so instead I prefer to keep on learning from the experts who don't need words to say everything that needs to be said...
 
It's been just over 4 weeks in the making, and all started in Kevlar's post Open Source ATM But its finally finished, or at least this iteration is!
 

Excuse the photos, but I only have a phone camera here at the moment. The full write up of the finished version available in the Technical Development section of the forum, including all of the information you need to be able to make one of these devices yourself. 
 
The ATM will be making its first appearance at the Oxford Blue this Saturday March 29th 3pm onwards, so bring your £1 coins and watch it in action.
 
I want to draw your attention towards our one year anniversary,  we want your ideas, how do you think we should celebrate?
Its coming up in April, which isn't that long away, we are having a meet up at The Oxford Blue on April 26th, but want everyone to celebrate together Calem has started a thread for a Global Celebration have your say https://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php?/topic/6628-global-one-year-birthday-meetup/

 
Our mission is to increase liquidity, stability and validity to cryptocurrencies by allowing people to spend them as they normally as they can spend fiat. Whilst retailers are still a bit wary of accepting bitcoin, let alone other digital currencies, we are bridging the gap for holders of currencies to spend where they want to. Currently you can spend via pock.io at a plethora of retailers:

Amazon.co.uk
ASDA (in-store only)
asos
Burton Menswear
Debenhams
Dorothy Perkins
Evans
Google Play
Over 750 pubs across the UK via the Great British Pub Card
Miss Selfridge
Mothercare
New Look
Playstation - prepaid cards and PS+ subscriptions
Spotify Premium
Starbucks
Ticketmaster
Topman
Topshop
Xbox - prepaid and Xbox Live Gold subscriptions

We have also just gotten approval to sell Marks & Spencers gift cards (online and instore) bringing another option for the community to grab groceries (as with all the other goodies that M&S sell). We also have very exciting plans for the near future, but you'll have to follow us on Twitter (@pockiouk) to keep abreast of the features and retailers we will be rolling out. Without saying too much, we have some innovations which should allow an even easier way to spend cryptos as you normally would spend fiat!
 

MinerX is an automated MiningTool for newbies. Its Java based and its combinated with CgMiner and CudaMiner, enabling simple setup of mining using both AMD and nVidia cards.
 
Ready for release under the Alpha testing phase, this simple to use tool should get you up and mining within a couple of minutes. Development work on the project is on-going so let me know if you have any feedback.
 
I'm still looking for graphics to improve the user interface, so if your a budding designer theres a 100FTC bounty up for grabs donated by myself and Ruthie should your design be chosen.
 
Once you're up and running the hashes go towards http://mine-ftc.co.uk:19327/static/index.html so all the time your mining your giving a little back to the community and helping us reach our fund-raising goal for Prostate Cancer UK.
 
All the information can be found here.
 
Well I know for sure that the Technical Development area is busy as I have barely spoken to Bush in a while, as you know I let the Dev's get on with what they do but I think they should get a mention for working hard in the background : so thank you, ghostlander, Wellenreiter, wrapper and Bushstar and to all those that have input in the Tech Dev area.
 
Living life authentically and working towards truth isn't easy and it's not something that can easily be put in to words. Over the months I have tried to shape this newsletter in to a platform for those who are authentic, resilient and who push themselves in to new areas of learning and talents. It isn't really the money we want anyway, it's each other. And the people who will shape the future will be the heroes, the ones with grit, who turn their whole lives in to works of art, the ones who never stop learning.

 
You can find the last official newsletter here: Become Who You Want To Be. Today special thanks go to @Uncle_Muddy @Ruthie @Chekaz and @ChrisJ for their contributions to this newsletter.

You can follow us on Twitter, Facebook or come on to the forum to stay up to date.

Thank-you for your time.

Not too long to wait now and I agree they certainly have some yummh food looking forward to seeing you there

Hello Community Members.

We are currently looking for members of the community to fill some roles within Feathercoin, ideally you will need to have been a member of the forum for at least 3 months.

Marketing - 2 members needed.

Press - 3 to 4 members needed.

Promotions - 3 members needed

Merchant Outreach - 3 members needed

Charity Outreach - 3 members needed

News Letter Contributors - 3 to 4 members needed

Outlined above are positions that are currently vacant.

As Feathercoin continues to grow and evolve I would like to give you all the opportunity to join the team you can choose which areas you would like to work in based on your expertise.

The reason we are doing this is to promote better communication and organization among team members with respect to their skill sets.

Once you have chosen you will be expected to work in those areas in helping Feathercoin move forwards, you won’t be expected to ditch you personal lives, I understand that family comes first but it would be nice if you could dedicate at least up to 2 hours a week working in your chosen area with the other team members working those areas, of course you can chose to work more hours if you wish to.

If we have up to around about 3 people managing and working in these areas and putting in the time I believe we can give Feathercoin more exposure.

Positions will be reviewed every 3 months, to keep teams fresh and motivated and always moving forwards.

You are welcome to choose more than one area to work in.

Thank you, please feel free to PM me or get in touch on the Feathercoin forum for more info https://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php?/topic/6681-looking-for-team-members/
