Hello Bolt1909!   Yes it is.

If you go to  www.feathercoin.com   and scroll down to the downloads section, you'll see this text:

Code:

Download feathercoin wallet
version 0.9.6

if you hover over the download buttons for each client operating system you'll see it's 0.9.6.

So for example, hovering over the Windows button, the link is:
(Bitcoin Talk removed the Github Link)  it points to the github release page here:
https://github.com/FeatherCoin/Feathercoin/releases/tag/v0.9.6

I can see the "alt" text for the windows button needs to be changed as it still mentions 0.8.7.3   - I'll notify the webmaster now.

Cheers!

[aciddude]

I'll notify the webmaster now.

Happy coincidence - the web master was online when I posted the above and has made the change on the alt text.

current version shows 0.9.6.

The pool at https://give-me-coins.com is running real good. Way better performance than blockfactory (which hasn't updated).

Does anybody expect an increase in value in the next period or maybe something like a big pump? I've seen that the markets are kind of quiet and the value has been just slowly decreasing.

[Frangomel]

Wait it downprice because BTC is increasing everything else is rapidly falling.

Do we know when the new website will go live?

Looks like

Will finally get to sell his FTCs.

He only sells during pumps.

I think he just moved them into smaller wallets during the last pump but didn't sell. Huge wallets of round numbers on millions showed up when his previously even huger wallet disappeared. Also, and this is 3rd hand information at least, he said he'd never sell under 20k.

Awesome! Can't wait to see it. Did you want to use my video at all? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGku68RYbMg
If so I could tweak it a little to match your design if you like. ... The background from the new wallet loading screen is pretty great too which I could use that to open the video.

I think with LTC and other older coins potentially adopting segwit FTC is in a great position. BTC miners aren't going to switch, the high fees are too profitable and I don't see them wanting to risk messing around with a more complicated code. Their refusal will force us to wait until solutions to scaling and such happen without hard forks. But solutions will come, and one day they'll be running the same BTC core with DAOs and millions of transactions per second. Today BTC isn't being used for commerce anyways, its being used for investment and international transfers- neither of which require a faster network.

Looking 10 years from now. BTC is worth a ton and scalability is solved without hard forks. No one remembers segwit, unlimited or whatever else except that certain older coins adopted them and permanently changed. Whereas FTC not taking any of these hard forks can remain using a simpler code, and then adopt bitcoin's non-fork solutions when they come. Which coin will you want at that point? FTC which stuck to bitcoin's simpler method, or the old coins that adopted betamax?

are there any plans for further development in this coin ?

Sounds like you are way over thinking things. But hey...maybe.

Great Video! - It wont be there upon launch, but we can definitely work with it.

Feathercoin got a steady development since 2013, some bumps on the road but still development ongoing.

mostly agree of this possibility.

tis not out of the question for ftc to replace ltc.

New wallet looks great.
There is lot of functionality which is not obvious for the first look.

Glad to see you still kicking around. I REALLY like that video as Ive said before, awesome job! Id like to see it used in marketing and on the FTC website somewhere.

Thanks! I'm always happy to see the same crowd around here too, stability is key. Stability is why this has been my #1 alt coin for years now, its not going anywhere, its going to run as normal decades from now, and at some point it will be an incredible rarity given that age is the one crypto characteristic no one can write into a new coin release.

Im on the fence here. I think SegWit has its advantages and Im actually glad Litecoin has adopted it - even if only for the reason of going down a different path than Bitcoin. I used to be a hard believer that there would only be ONE crypto and all others would fail however I now am on the boat of thinking many side-by-side will be the future. In our current world we have many ways to exchange money, cash (in hundreds of currencies of which each has its own different denominations), check, bankers check, money orders, wire transfers, credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, etc), etc. I see the same happening for crypto. Some will be used for smaller purchases, some for major, some for investment, play, who knows...

With LTC going a different route (I doubt Bitcoin will ever adopt SegWit unless Litecoin proves its value), that opens the door for Litecoin to be used in places Bitcoin cant be. Same goes for Feathercoin and NeoScrypt (being ASIC resistant, today). Its kinda like Linux... there are hundreds of different distros out there, all of which can do the same basic functions but most are tailored to something specific - crypto will be the same way.

I only have interests in a handful of coins, Feathercoin is one of them, and Im here for the long haul - whatever direction (up/down) that may be.
