Personally I don't like the new logo any better than the last one. However it's a matter of personal choice and makes no difference in the grand scheme of things, but anyway that's my input.
My logo designer is considering submitting yet another logo if anyone wants it.
My thought on the whole matter is that it's completely unprofessional to have launched FC when it was launched, if it was a half-finished project.
Actually it's best to release early and often, for peer review.
Launching a new client update and logo a mere week or so later strengthens the belief of some that this was nothing but a scheme created in an effort to line pockets of a very few people who were "in the know" about the hurried and secret launch. In other words...any credibility that Feathercoin had in the community is now going to be less because of this. It gives the impression that FC was rushed to launch and is nothing but a cash-grab scheme for the developer and his friends.
Same tired disrespectful garbage that comes up over every altcoin. Nobody is forced to use an altcoin. If you have any extras you don't want, of any type, I will gladly take them off your hands.
As I've stated before...I couldn't care less! If someone is able to suck some money from the suckers willing to pay it...more power to you! I don't blame anyone for taking advantage of noobs, rubes and boobs that are too stupid ignorant to know what they're doing....Hell, that's how all of the wealth in this world is, was and always will be earned!
I have bought and sold altcoins of my own free will and volition. I am of sound mind. I consider it disrespectful to call me a noob, rube, boob, or stupid. It may all be true, but it's still disrespectful!
Your idea of how wealth is earned is completely off. Wealth is earned by serving people.
Anyway...my question was, is this client "update" necessary?
If I were the FC developers, I wouldn't waste time answering you after your disrespectful comments above. You can keep on using the previous client if you want, but since you think it's all a plot to take advantage of people, I suggest you delete any FC clients you have. They were all given to you for free, after all, at the expense of other people whom you are now insulting.
I didn't intentionally insult anyone at all. In fact, I was all for FC from the moment I heard about it and hoped the best for it...still do.
Lots of people aren't all that hyped for FC, believing it's a scam devised by a few people who claim it wasn't "pre-mined" when in fact it was, I just see no reason to give them encouragement...which is exactly what I believe this "update" does.
Your idea of how wealth is earned is completely off. Wealth is earned by serving people.
No...my idea is exactly on point! I have more years in this world than I care to mention. In those years I have found that earning money is done by serving people what they need...earning real wealth is done by taking advantage of noobs, rubes and boobs! Sorry if that offends you....it shouldn't
(although I did re-phrase my statement. Stupid was a poor choice of words...ignorance is more fitting since a person can be very intelligent, yet ignorant at the same time)
Criticism isn't insult...you seem to be confused. All I did was criticize in the hopes that more thought would be put into future decisions. As of now, it seems that decisions are being made "on-the-fly". I would very much like to see the developer (and anyone else involved with FC), take the time to start really thinking things through and making rational, well-planned decisions. Anything less only offers an appearance of unpreparedness and lessens FC credibility.
When young, I jumped to the defensive at any and every criticism of my work. As the years piled on I've learned to listen to everything, think about it and see if there's anything to be gained from it. There's much to gain from my reply....get angry and offended about it or use it for improving the work...it's all up to you. Makes me no difference at all!
