Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Why I support Firecoin2 & Update on the state of the coin

I've been asked by a couple of people as to why I am supporting a coin so strongly when it was originally released as a "joke" to show how bad the new alt coins are. (No, it isn't just because I have tons of these coins. I do have quite a few of these coins though, but it's because I have mined it nonstop, and believe in it.) The reason is, that despite it's original intentions it turned out to be the most fair release of any of the new coins. There was 0 premine. It was not an orphan fest, where only those sitting on top of the nodes have a latency low enough to find any blocks. And it now has pretty good support in the community. It has a very fast transaction time compared to some of the older coins as well, but not so fast as to cause crazy orphans and massive blockchain bloat. I am not a dev nor any kind of insider. I am only a miner and supporter. All of that being said here's the current state of the coin. The coin has been completely rebranded as Firecoin2. The "2" remained for no other reason than to keep the acronym FC2. Difficulty is currently 4. The hashrate is moderately low however. What this means, is that block times are taking roughly twice as long as they should. I am throwing approximately 6 Mh/s at it, and am getting tons of blocks quite regularly. If you don't have that kind of power, there are numerous pools up and running now. But if you do, solo mining is still very effective. If you missed the original launch which was only two days ago, don't fret. You can get tons of blocks now with the hash rate so low. Below is the information you need to get started. Also, if you would rather just buy the coins, they are being sold relatively cheap on my google docs exchange: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=207514.0
Firecoin2 has a block reward of 200 coins and will have a total of 336 million coins. Default port is 9131 – Forwarding this port can help if you have connection problems Default RPC port is 9132 - This is the port is point your miners towards if solo mining Block target is 150 seconds Difficulty changes every 2016 blocks Block reward halves every 840,000 blocks Windows binary: http://www.mediafire.com/?pgbk6ppwmo4cg3cSource: http://www.mediafire.com/?pks74njs6b88i4bOfficial website: http://firecoin2.comFaucet: http://admindependencia.net/fcfaucet.htmlPool: http://pool.titanix.net:9999

and a partridge in a pear tree.
Make me an offer on whatever you want. Accepting BTC, LTC, PPC, TRC, or BQC
How much for the WDC? Never traded it, and looking at the exchange it looks like it ranges wildly. 3 LTC per 100? So 30 LTC? I'm sure people will let me know if I'm way off base. Not trying to screw you (or me get screwed), just not sure what the "fair" price is.
