Feathercoin 0.8.7.0 Released - The NeoScrypt Update - Hardfork block 432,000

[spazzdla]

FEATHERCOIN!!!

[defaced]

This coin was one of my first altcoins I have bought. The price was 0.003 BTC and look now to this shit coin which was cloned from Litecoin without any new features or something else. So this coin is really scam in my opinion. I warn every investor to buy this coin.

+1 It is a dead coin without any active development so far
Neoscrypt is fake! White paper is fake! It is a scam!
FTC is dead.

Did you even read the white paper man? Neoscrypt is real.. They basically took what was scrypt and updated it with new hashing functions. It actually hashes faster than normal scrypt which will help with block propagation latency, lower orphans etc.

inb4 franko is a feathercoin shill.

Yes, Ghostlander did great work on that algorithm.
I was just trolling the post I quoted.
Maybe to much.

FTC is not scam coin at all

Thanks for setting up a pool!

Switch were smooth, already 39 NeoScrypt blocks solved !

Feathercoin is now on NeoScrypt, 64 blocks so far. All went as well as expected. If you have not updated then please do so now.

If you are having trouble mining you could try one of the following pools below that is now on the new algorithm.

Nut² Pools run by an IT Professional and long time Feathercoin community member

Nut² Pools

Coinotron, well known. Has been the pool for many for years.

Coinotron

[jimlite]

I'm on coinotron, and we are getting some blocks. Seems to be going well.

[OrangeGator]

Coinotron is working for me.  Wemineftc is not.  It just rejects with "share above target errors"

[OrangeGator]

Looking at WemineFTC's pool stats, they haven't found a block since block 431955. That was 227 blocks ago.  It looks like they haven't switched off of scrypt, even though they claimed they were ready "ages ago".

true. They got about 400 workers and ~ 900mh/s working on scrypt. They didnt switch.

Is there any chance to mine Feathercoin with Nvidia cards? If yes, what's the command line for ccminer?

Actually Nvidia cards are performing pretty well on Neoscrypt.

[ChekaZ]

Just try:

cgminer --neoscrypt -o http://YOURPOOLOFCHOICE:PORT -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD -I 14 -w 8 (16/24/32/40/48... push this up until you hit HW errors)

Thanks Conqueror and ChekaZ !!

CGMiner for Nvidia cards? Really? I'm running Xubuntu, so do you have any idea how to compile from source code or where to download a linux compiled version? I'm currently mining with ccMiner.

I've tried this howto

https://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php?/topic/7780-neoscrypt-gpu-miner-public-beta-test/

but I get this error after ./autogen.sh

configure.ac:39: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL

Any ideas?

[krodmandoon]

bustin out the gpus and going solo!

[nrg_wolf]

how is it the gpu miner never works for me, always HW errors even at stock clocks or low -I settings.....

[Will-o-the-wisp]

Try something like

sudo apt-get install git make automake libcurl4-gnutls-dev
git clone https://github.com/vehre/neo-gpuminer/
cd neo-gpuminer
./autogen.sh
./configure CFLAGS="-Ofast -DASM -march=native"
make

run ./cgminer --neoscrypt -o http://<poolname>:<pool port> -O username:password

cgminer.exe --neoscrypt -I 14 --worksize 48 -g 1 -o stratum+tcp://stratum.ftc.theblocksfactory.com:3333 -u TheMiner.x -p 1

this works great for me

[unitedminers]

Try something like

sudo apt-get install git make automake libcurl4-gnutls-dev
git clone https://github.com/vehre/neo-gpuminer/
cd neo-gpuminer
./autogen.sh
./configure CFLAGS="-Ofast -DASM -march=native"
make

run ./cgminer --neoscrypt -o http://<poolname>:<pool port> -O username:password

Thank you very much, but it still doesn't work

Sorry, I was trying to do this from memory. Try https://github.com/vehre/neo-gpuminer.git as the clone source. Failing that try unzipping as per the instructions you were following originally
