They want to change the algo soon.

They talk but it seems its all they can do.

I'm holding some FTC i hope they succeed.

[hilariousandco]

Nothing really happened to it, that's largely the problem. One big plus FTC had was the active community/forums but that seems to have dwindled to next to nothing very fast. Maybe it'll have it's day again but I'm very sceptical.

FTC is regaining strenght while working hard, with huge amount of good news and new algorithm behind the corner.
Currently FTC is heavily oversold which makes it one of the best investment opportunities at btc-e right now.

Your lack of knowledge is funny, please re-educate yourself here>

And your hyperbole and exaggerations are funny. I don't think a crappy ATM and algo are going to do much for this coin at the moment, but I get it, say something that isn't pure puffery and the bagholders and fanboys will get upset. 

[El Dude]

Feathercoin cloned litecoin and added nothing new except more coins , feathercoin is dead and rightfully so.

[Man-aqua]

Feathercoin is still alive but there is a huge lack of interest atm.

So I would propose you to invest in a new coin.

I've decided (my personal decision) to invest some BTC in SIM - today was its official start and you can already trade SIM-coins on its own exchange like dgex for NXT was before.  

[vizay]

It's true that FTC have stagnated since the last period of glory and high values. It's however by no means dead yet.
I believe that the biggest mistake we've done in the FTC community so far is (as many have pointed out before) to believe that FTC will just magically step out of the LTC and BTC shadow. Of course this hasn't happened, and the still active members in the community have realized this now.

There's a new algo around the corner and a couple of (imho) interesting projects being discussed. Will these be the factors that take FTC out from the shadows? It's hard to tell if it's enough. But I'm willing to bet that we'll at least see a rise in value when the new algo lands.

FTC is very much alive, we've however taken a lot of damage by not doing anything at all really, and lost a lot of community members in the process. That's a mistake we're not doing again


so...let the trolling and mockery of my beliefs begin

With a 1000 altcoins, I'm afraid FTC just lost out to newer, shinier alternatives with better names.

Crypto is becoming like a Warhol world of "15 minutes of fame". I think the days of any coin shining for a longish period are over.

BTC and LTC are the exceptions for the time being, at least in terms of they will be around for some time to come.

There is too much choice, and even with the imminent departure of scrypt (not including LTC), people will just clone the others. So no difference will be made, except that a small number may very well find niches. Given I have an opinion on everything, it will be coins that are largely under the radar, but with good developers who view their coin as a project to perfect.

I thought it had been delisted from BTC-e. Obviously I was wrong.

But anyway, the name works against it.

And if the new algo is just a copy of another algo, then there is no value added.

I think it's dead, and no offence meant by that,

It's not Scrypt-N or X11, something much different.

FTC if far from dead. I guess that's only Litecoin fanboys talking...who hate Feathercoin, just because...
Lots of altcoins appeared in the meantime, and lots of them have disappeared already... FTC is still here, and it's here to stay. Current value is pretty much result of manupulation by whales and haters who dumped it on purpose. Let's not forget that few months ago whales bought more than 1000 BTC worth at price of 0.0004, let's wait and see what happens with that.

I don't understand the hate for this coin specifically. In my opinion, it's ok to bash on obvious scam coins, with weird IPO schemes, instantly dumped by own devs - and I want those coins to go away, because they hurt entire crypto community and trust in crypto in general. As for others - I see lots of space for them to coexist. BTC is the king (unless something really dramatic happens with it), you want Litecoin to be No.2? Ok, let it be, why not?

[krisdavison]

I think its pretty short sighted to rule this coin out. Development has never stopped even during the low as the price fell and many of the community left following shiny new coins of the week. But Feathercoin is still here and a lot of those coins of last week are this weeks chip wrappers. Feathercoin has been going for over a year and the team behind it is as strong as ever.

the only thing keeping it alive is btc-e.com

[uncle_muddy]

feathercoin has a strong dev community working through some very interesting projects, but as will all of these things a lack of people makes things take longer than intended.

But over recent weeks a number of new guys have joined and things are starting to pick up again, taking some of the more simple projects and moving them forwards.

And as always the guys get together on a monthly bases round and about the UK June they went up to Birmingham and July they are going back to their home town of Oxford for another get together. Further detail can be found here https://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php?/topic/7375-oxford-meet-up-26th-july-2014/ The Oxford Blue is a great little pub that does fantastic food and beer, and allows you to spend both FTC and BTC to pay your bill

UM

[mymenace]

this happened https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=254406.0 a while ago caused a lot of issues


great community should just keep on improving

I think a lot of people lost interest with the whole phoenixcoin (I think), worldcoin, feathercoin initiative

is that what it was

cannot remember right but there was some sort of combined effort with feathercoin and two others and the whole thing turned into a farce

This UNOCS Hype came from a known "Scammer" Justabitoftime who just scammed the NXT community. Feathercoin had to experience it in first place so we had no clue he is that evil. But NXT should have known it better.

And yes it should have been Feathercoin Worldcoin and Phoenixcoin.

[Wellenreiter]

FTC ist alive and has a busy community.

If you follow their forum, you will notice, that a lot of good things are on their way.

It seems people over there talk about their activities only, after a goal is archived, rather than making noise, before something is done.

It's kind of gotten to be the FTC way, we don't brag and boast about being the most awesome coin with the awesomest projects out there. Sometimes we make to little noise of ourselves, but at the same time I think  it kind of differentiates us from others in a good way when everybody else is having some kind of boasting war, trying to come up with the best and most attractive features for the moment in order to get 15 minutes of fame (so the people with invested money can dump at a good price, make a profit and then leave the coin to dry).

I'm deffo partial in this case tho being a clear FTC fanboy
