You all know we can deposit ftc to btc-e, they put it available few months ago, well there is a catch, you give ther that coins as a present since you can't withdraw them nice going btc-e on stealing our FTC, i deposited ftc 1-2 month ago and now when i want to withdraw there is no coins, they support just give me the old info they put 1 year ago or so that coins can be withdrawed till  March 31, 2015.

So why the FuK you put that we can deposit again -> so you can take our coins on a nice way

i will update when they respond again

ftc Great coin. but you have to remember also about orbitcoin

[Alexthesalamander]

Target for FTC pump is 250k. Its done by a pump group! It will be 2k again after the dump

[q327K091]

I don't think so this is going much higher , you have now 22,845 BTC pass 10M MC this is substantial , no buy orders could fill the pump if this is what you are talking about.. something else is happening

congrats to the community did not check FC (sorry about) algo switch etc..  overall dont be trapped by swing traders if community engages back you looking at 1:1 dollar FIAT per this coin and above

FTC is a great coin, it's nice and speedy, has a pretty long running blockchain and is actively developed and mined.

I don't trade usually, I'm waiting for more merchants/vendors so I can just spend my FTC.


this could  also all be Fontas :-P

Feathercoin is one of the most transparent one. I am mining it with 500+ kh per 280x with newest transparent miner. So this is expected with feathercoin, it has great algo, burning one but great . Btw cards are mostly on 90-95% of their power so there is no much chance to put them on more in hrate.

@Hippie

Legendary members must be more informed...https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=712650.0

90-95 still mean that there is 10% improvement, with nvidia we have 99%, so basically 0 improvement for neo scrypt

No, I made it on 95% because of burnings, of course there is space for optimisation

Ninja launched? NeoScrypt has been released on the 27th of July 2014 with a working CPU miner. FTC switched to NeoScrypt on the 26th of October 2014 with a working GPU miner. There was no better GPU miner than cgminer-neoscrypt v3.7.7 at the switch time. A community member sponsored a better open source OpenCL kernel and the SGminer support. Wolf0 did the job in early November. Although he continued the development on his own and sold copies of his faster proprietary kernel later, I don't see how the FTC team can be held accountable for this.

Not only did they bork the kernel, they also did it to the .conf settings. Before I came along with my very simple and easy to do .conf tweak, a 280x was only getting 90-100 khash.

Do you realize what your statement is saying about the FTC/ craptsy insiders team's capablility when it comes to coding and mining ?

EDIT

Lest we forget how your skilled FTC team "forgot" to enable solo mining from the onset.. lol..

Can you say.. "way to fuck the crypto movement ! ASSHOLES !" ?

Who are "they" to break your kernel? The initial GPU miner, cgminer-neoscrypt v3.7.x, was developed by a contracted programmer with no prior coding experience in crypto at all. Therefore all these high level network protocols and mining specifics were new to him. No top performance video cards in his possession either. He did it all on a GT210. Indeed his kernel was very slow. Yet he delivered a working miner in 2 months and left for good.

I have fixed Getwork there a month before FTC switched. Here is the patch for your peace of mind: Getwork Fixed, Midstate Removed

"They" as in the FTC/ the cryptsy insiders who crippled the public (not mine) kernel while THEY mined with the fully optimized one.

It's just a speculation. No one crippled it intentionally. NeoScrypt is more advanced (complicated) than most other hashing algorithms including Scrypt. It took a while for optimisations to catch up. My v1 kernel was available in early November of 2014. It's v7 now. HD6970 performance went from 6KH/s at the switch time to 50KH/s in my fastest November's kernel to 280KH/s now. I have never purchased any proprietary NeoScrypt kernels whether fully optimised or not.

[Hippie Tech]

Does anyone have any ideas what's causing the feather coin price to jump atm?

yeah. what's going on?

If you remember him, don't tell you're surprised.

Did they rig another "new algo"/ fork ?

Why does it smell like CRAPtsy in here ?

D'you care to elaborate?

Essentially they ninja launched the neo-scrypt fork by releasing a de-optimized public kernel (and .conf settings) while they/the insiders made the easy money with the fully optimized one.

Anyhoo..

My 280x/hynix is pulling 128 khash with cgminer 3.3.7b and the following settings :
gpu/mem - 1120/1500, win7 x64 cat 14.9 w/ sdk, -I 13, -w 32, -g 2 -g 1

Screenie shows the 280x and 7870 at stock, same settings except -g 1 was used.


edit

both examples used -g 1

Your lame quote editting and attempts at skewing the issue(s) isn't going to work. You remind me of maco/42dice and Dooglus, when you do that.

Lets try this again.. okie ?!

1. I was given the runaround and essentially ignored after I tried to volunteer for the beta/ testnet phase.
2. For days/weeks, most 280x miners were happy/lucky to get 90 khash.
3. After spending 3-5 minutes tweaking a couple of the .conf settings, my 280x managed to get 122+ khash.
4. 36 hours later, I apparently PWN'd some of the more experienced coders and miners, AGAIN, by bumpin it up to 142 khash.



Ahh the memories !

EDIT

I'll try to fix this post later, if/when there is time.

STOP fucking with my posts !

EDIT II

FIXED..

I can't believe the price on this coin.

I only came back to eat my words.  Cause I was wrong.  And I hate that. 

But I still don't get what the deal is with feathers and beaks. Just sayin', it makes no sense.

Congrats and good luck!

I must say that this story about hidden mining software used only by some is not true. It is first time for me to see that Legendary member on this forum to speak like this. Everyone, easily, can track complete progress of mining software on feathercoin forum. If you want to investigate what really happened go there and start reading. All is there and all is perfectly clear. You will find also bunch of my posts about various settings and improvements for miners. In fact I must say that when the fork to neoscrypt occurred you could mine it a lot even without GPU cards, just with CPU like most of us did. Instantly when I found it I posted new settings on feathercoin forum and community and developers rewarded me and wolf with generous donations. I haven't used those settings for my personal benefit not even a single day, instead shared it with everyone else. Feather community is maybe unique and function on its own with high transparency level between supporters and developers. I ll say it once more, go to the feathercoin forum and check it all, timeline of new mining software, new settings, optimizations etc... You will find a lot of proves how all gradually progressed and how everyone was trying to contribute publicly not hiding anything. And anyway who was there two years ago knows what I m talking about. This post is only for those who are starting to read this thread because sudden rise of the coin's value.
