Ironic isn't it? Miners reaping high block rewards helped dumped FLT to 1000 sat, and now that block reward has halved they need FLT to be more valuable for it to be profitable to mine.

Can we vote to end PoW and forever shut out miners once PoT is active enough to secure the blockchain alongside PoS? 

With POT, what stops someone from having two wallets and setting up a bot to constantly transfer 500FLT back and forth 24/7 between the two wallets and thereby greatly increase the chances of landing the POT bonus?

thanks for the info, so based on the above, in all likelihood, you're more likely to get more coin via PoS than PoT? I thought PoT was the big innovation here, but it sounds like it will be very difficult to achieve the bonus. Sounds like PoT may be getting over hyped then? Isn't this coin expected to be 100% PoS at some point, so point 4 would render PoT useless?

Just trying to get some more solid answers before investing further into FLT. Thanks!

No, I thought this was the case also but the PoW phase never ends, it just halves all the way down to 20 block static rewards eventually.  I believe the PoT rewards are the same as any block reward for PoW; that is, you get whatever the PoW mining reward is at that time if you get lucky enough to PoT "mine" a block on your transaction.   I expect thekidcoin will continue to fine tune this reward system as it gets used in real life - it's hard to forecast well in advance how these use cases will play out so the parameters of the rewards may well change over time to close any gameable loopholes that may get discovered. 

guys i can't get the fluttercoin wallet to open. i'm on mac, mavericks. it crashes everytime I accept incoming network transactions. sth about EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION.

can anyone help?

so i got my feet wet on qtcreator, qt4.8.5, qt5.2, qt5.3-beta, xcode with unix tools, macports, with updates, and includes.  didn't make any changes, cloned the github and went to compiling, never could get it to compile at all without errors.  Many of them occurring when it hit the zerocoin files.  Maybe I grabbed some new stuff that isn't ready yet.  I don't know, but was pretty fun learning and tinkering around with it.

On to more stuff...it's quite frustrating how a new coin with no following like cinni, jumps from 3k to 20k in a single day, and flt is still just hanging around at 1200, I suppose it's the PoW that's still scaring off potential investors, they want to buy up a large sum it seems, and not have to worry about share dilution.

Has new macosx wallet been confirmed and added to OP, so we can start correcting chat negativity about a non working mac client which seems to be some focus on it, they probably don't even own a mac.

looking forward to multipool, that will help some, but until PoW is done, I expect the price is going to stay about the same.  Nice to see new buyers, welcome!

So you are telling me the blocks are halving the day before the multipool goes beta?

can someone post a simple guide to PoS mining for FLT ?

My mistake,  I thought this coin halved until there was no reward left, but that's not correct.  Still, the last halving usually means a coin drops off predatory multipool radar screens so there is one less factor to keep an eye on (and to worry people about being unexpectedly dumped on). 

Tipping and merchant use will really be fascinating with the PoT rewards delivering more and more new coins into the economy of spenders rather than of savers.  As someone who thinks that inflation isn't necessarily bad in a thriving economy (because it accelerates the overall velocity of money, and decreases the importance of absolute price for goods and services with respect to the currency while increasing their importance of their value with respect to each other) I like the idea of a little inflation. Especially as PoT 'pays you back' as a spender who is doing the work of price evaluation of goods, instead of paying back people who just sit on piles of currency and let the rest of the economy do the work of being an economy while they just charge rent.

I don't really understand how that works, nor have I taken the time to really figure out what is happening in the code.

Most of it is being busy but I'm spending a little more focus on understamding these things.  And people throw numbers around and thought I saw oit on original op or something but glad I have it from the source.

How do you find how the code operates with regard to stake.

I also hear the Mac wallet is having problems, I stalling it tonight and will look into recompiling it as well as a side project .  should be a good bit of learning!

If you are interested in Flutter just to speculate and dump out at the peak, expect to be disappointed for a while.  BC's run was something you do not see very often because it had a lot of factors behind it, some organic, some artificial, some pure chance - and various coincidences and incentives have to line up just right.

I don't see this happening with FLT any time soon. Maybe after the PoW phase ends things might shake up a bit, but by then who knows.  Maybe China does yet another 180 on crypto or MtGox comes back from the dead to feast on more suckers again; maybe PoT becomes front page discussion on CoinDesk and bleeds over into MarketWatch and WSJ coverage the way Scrypt-N did (assuming FUD mongers don't succeed in mislabeling it as 'just a lotto game' which they are already trying to do).  6 weeks is an eternity in crypto and anything can happen good or bad.

Love the look of this coin and think it has the potential to do a black coin type run, but to be realistic what price do you think this coin could possibly reach? Is $1 a bridge to far or could it be achieved?
