Yes, that's not normal, you should be getting almost exactly the same hashes as LTC. Restart your miner and try a different pool (preferably one with stratum support).

I'll second on that. I had my cgminer 2.4.11 configurations optimized for 7850 on LTC. I got no reduction on hash-rates or any change on hw-errors. This was true even when comparing between longpoll and stratum. Also the same rates with connecting to feathercoind on localhost. And I changed absolutely nothing else in my configuration than the pool addresses and the standard solo mining lines to
~/.feathercoin/feathercoin.conf  

Code:

server=1
daemon=1
rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=pass
rpcport=8100
port=8101
rcpallowip=127.0.0.1

Wish I could even start guessing what could be causing your trouble.

Everything works fine until now!

WRONG.
 I initiated withdraw of coins from Cryptonit last night before I went to bed. 12 hours later, both my LTC and FC withdrawals are STILL "Transaction Awaiting Authorization"

Cryptonit is problematic, and people are going to get screwed because there's problems.

Cryptonit directly uses the bitcoin "move" RPC function to manage his user accounts.

What does this mean for you?

mugen isn't keeping any accounting records of what his customers are doing. So if one of his exchanges has a bug, like his Freicoin exchange did, he cannot determine what amounts all of his accounts should have. Mugen's exchange had this same massive bug where he lost customer funds when the site was in beta. He was advised to implement his exchange using external accounting & logs.

Had mugen built his exchange so that it kept accounting records and logs he wouldn't have had any problems trading Freicoin and other coins. Unfortunately, even if someone wanted to make all of his depositors whole they couldn't do it because he doesn't keep the records necessary to pay people back.

I strongly recommend you stay very far away from cryptonit for ANY coin.

Well... If you wait for that, you can wait till infinity and beyond...

"Transaction Awaiting Authorization" says that you have to authorize your transaction.

Click on "My Account" -> "View Account Balances, Deposit and Withdraw" and click "Waiting Authorization" (just under TRC).

There you can use the 2-step verification you created (did you?) and enter the code to authorize the withdrawal.

I use "Google Authenticator" on my Android phone. Safe and smooth.

That's strange, if you go to your account you can see a full history of all your trades on the site.

CryptoCoin -> Exchange -> Order Details -> Select currency pair -> History

I think Galambo is mixing this information with another issue.

I have just withdrawn some FTC to my wallet and the moment I filled in my google authenticator code and pressed on Confirm transaction I received the FTC in my wallet instantly. Shame to see that people are spreading false lies about this exchange, as it works perfectly, you just got to read what they instruct you to do.

Cheers

I placed a withdrawl, over half an hour ago for +4.83256568 LTC and it still says unconfirmed, and hasn't appeared in my wallet even marked as unconfirmed.

So not everyone is have the same experience as you.

Did you authorize the transaction with Google authenticator?

Yes of course.

When I look at the cryptocoin details for the withdrawal, it has replaced the destination address I had put in, with the LTC deposit address on cryptionit so it's probably stuck in some loop. So I have lodged yet another support ticket to mugen.

I guess you just accidentally copy-pasted the wrong address.
Everyone can make a mistake.

I absolutely don't have any problems with them. I deposited nearly 200 LTC and withdrawn a few thousand FC back. Very fast and smooth.

[erk]

No because it was two withdrawals 15min apart, and it has aggregated them itself into one. I have never deposited LTC on cryptonit, only FTC, and has the destination wallet open and painstakingly check the digits to make sure I haven't accidentally cut one off either end of the string. Also the transaction should have gone though if the destination address is valid, regardless of if it's the cryptonit deposit address,  and it still hasn't.

Alas the client doesn't work for me!  I'm on Mac os 10.5.8

Can there not be a version for my 'antiquated' laptop?  It's only 5 years old!

You could upgrade to Snow Leopard. Failing that, try and compile from source. You will need to install Macports first and the dependencies, probably waste an hour or two mucking around.

Really sorry Matt but the Mac release is 10.6 or newer. You can still compile the Feathercoin-Qt application yourself.

By the way, Apple only support their current one one prior operating system. You need to be on 10.7 or newer for security updates.

Thanks erk and bushstar but I'm not technical enough to compile it myself.  My laptop works just fine, so not getting another.

Bitcoin and Litecoin clients work just fine on 10.5.8 , why not feathercoin?

[12gaFacelift]

the only thing you need to complete its a p2pool.exe for windows user

 

[RHWN]

How to set up p2pool for FC?

[12gaFacelift]

there is one for LTC then i dont see why there is not for FTC

The Feathercoin Mac build is 64-bit. The Bitcoin and Litecoin clients must have been built for 32-bit.
