Why Feathercoin - I'm Curious
-
Feathercoin gives a good feeling … ;)
-
Initially I jumped on the alt-coin bandwagon trying to make a quick buck, but the more I learned about the community, the more I wanted to be a part of it. I understand well the value of having a large community to support a crypto-currency: Without it, it goes nowhere, and becomes useless and worthless. I’ve been welcomed since the start, and now I feel like I’m interweb-friends with the usual’s here.

[/quote]Same, it was the first coin I was able to get on in earlyish… PLUS maybe favorite number when I was young was 4, now it’s 16… and guessed when it was released… 4-16 !!! Haha so I took it as a sign I should mine it. After that I got stuck on it because it was the first coin that actually seemed to be built on user and community input and I can see it going really far once it gets a good footing in the public.

I was currious about bitcoin after someone tell me about it so read a bit and for fun start mining bitcoin for 3 weeks and accumulate nearly nothing. then go for some litecoin for 2 weeks or so, I then figure out i will never been paid before at least 2 year at my hash rate on wemineltc (min payout is 5 LTC). I look what was other coin out their if i can mine for some rewards. I found that Feathercoin was conscider to be a minor coin but with good potential. one source at the time was
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=134179.0
I took a look and found FTC-pool-geek and even to 188 diff would let me take something one day(still below 1FTC at 15kh/s for 5h/day, I only mine at home on evening while doing other things with a crappy 4560 card). So begin to mine and check the FTC forum and found the community to be friendly.I was interested by the security aspect of the crypto coins. I have read a lot on attacks and issue for all crypto coins in the last 2 month. So around 329xx a block found in my pool becomes orphan long time after been found and had 1 confirm at least(more then one hour later i think). then I begin to look at the chain to understand how this could be possible at a so low hash rate. Then read a lot on stale and was curious how this can have happen was expecting propagation of found block issue(was wrong with that guest). so I begin to look more closely at the chain and its info and found more fork this add to my interrogation and made me suspicious of something abnormal was happening. so I begin to correlate and search more fork. only after 33000 I figure out the scheme. I was still learning how to interpret the chain correctly so took me a couple of days to make sure I was not wrong.
I keep around because of the friendliness of most of the community even after exposing fact some call me troll. But I’m still skeptical that any POW alt coins (other then LTC) can have enough hash power to be secure at the level it needs to increase significantly in value. but for sure Feathercoin is probably one of the alt coins that can make it. so i’m interested to continue learning the crypto coins and doing it with friendly poeple is better. so I will help if I can, but with moderation.

I too missed the BTC and LTC gravy train… I was looking for a coin that looked promising and a friend said I should check out FTC… I then started looking at the forums and seen how it was noob friendly and helpful… So here I am…
-
Like a lot of the others, I completely missed the BTC train, and was mining Litecoins (slowly) when BigVern started a Feathercoin pool. I thought I’d take a look, started mining and then found the forums.
The community is what keeps me here.
-
I think this community can make it a big success. The others are wasting time mostly, and they’re not really interested in adopting innovations quick.
-
Because I think this coin has the potential to be big. Who doesn’t want to part of something big?
Also many have said this coin is a scam/it will fail etc. It’s so fun to prove people wrong. ;D -
I jumped in early and bought some coins on BTC-E as soon as FTC hit this exchange. When the price fell I started to worry a little. That’s when I found this site along with the tremendous amount of support behind this coin. Not only did I decide to hold my coins, but I decided to greatly increase holdings of FTC.

1 ltc @ 3days or 10 ftc @ 1day?
after discovery of this forum i switched to ftc ;) -

I’m curious, what brought you into the Feathercoin community?
[/quote]
I like chicken. ;D[quote author=justabitoftime link=topic=1182.msg9186#msg9186 date=1370300014]
What makes you come back to the forums?
[/quote]
Must be the only forum on the net where people are friendly. Hello to ye all. :P[quote author=justabitoftime link=topic=1182.msg9186#msg9186 date=1370300014]
Why do you choose to volunteer your valuable time?
[/quote]
None of us are volunteering our time, because feathercoin is going to be big, very big and we will all get paid for that someday. ;) -

[/quote]I agree. Personally, I’m volunteering my time as a form of investment. Now, I’m no bagholder, just have theless than 200FTC, I’ve made on CPU since about a week since start, and just recently purchased a 7850 to dedicate to mining.
Like others, I love the idea of joining the ride and be part of something that has the potential to be huge, and without a doubt, Feathercoin has it!!

Let’s keep it going! What keeps you coming back here?

[/quote]Quite simple. I still have confidence.
The hashrate keeps growing and the community keeps pushing this coin forward.
What we would like to see is more business accepting it and the price going up. This is the key to bring the miners back and vice versa. -
Started mining Feathercoin cause i saw someone post it on IRC, then i came past this forum and signed up.
Normally i am just lurking around at a forum but here everyone was welcoming me and such. That’s why i came here, i come back because this is a forum where the maturity is pretty high and online hero’s are not welcome. I am spending my time here to help other people start-up and try to make this coin big!
-
Spent a little time with FTC originally, then shifted to CNC for the profit, then some of the other coins. Came back when the hard fork and push for 33k was going on. Saw the community is a lot stronger than other cryptos’ and decided to stick around. Community is very important.
There’s no point in being the first when you can be the best.
