WARNING: The guy below is sending unsolicited emails with a false link to what appears to be a fake cloned website. It looks like it is going to feathercoin.com but directs you to featherscoin.com instead.  Some discussion online claims this may introduce a Trojan:

Hi,
My Feathercoin giveaway has began! I am a large holder in Feathercoins and want to boost it's popularity. To do this I am offering the equivalent of 10$ in feathercoins for every person that gets the feathercoinQT wallet and sends me the newly made address.

I will be doing this up to the one hundredth address I receive and depending on the results I get on the ftc market I will either continue or discontinue these giveaways. Please do not attempt to send me multiple addresses, I have my ways of finding out. After downloading the wallet send me a pm on here with your ftc address. Hope you realise the investment opportunity that is feathercoin!

You can get the wallet from feathercoin.com  EDIT: DO NOT DOWNLOAD CLIENT HERE!

Thanks

Nice.  I PM'd Theymos about this but not sure there's much he can do if there are multiple sock puppet perpetrators.

My negative trust rating is reflective of a personal vendetta by someone on default trust.
