mkxjinshan +1+1
The client should be tailored to the feathercoin users
There are enough ideas for great features on this forum … -
Here is the original Alert system by Satoshi himself.

[/quote]Nice find.
I had always assumed it was something implemented by Coblee and co (as it was publicised quite a bit).

I suggest an option to opt in or out of (Litecoin derivative) General Network messages. Have an overide to that setting, for the Feathercoin client, for passing important messages, like “upgrade” is required.
1. People will get used to upgrading, for security.
2. The only way forward is co-operation, I say update to new Litecoin A.S.A.P. In the future, pass our (beta tested upgrades) back to Litecoin. There is too much to do to make coins successful to waste effort competing. Feathercoin needs to concentrate on its “settings”, potential user base and a quick and efficient mining community.
3. I’m involved because it’s open source and we can therefore all leverage developments, it’s the only sensible way forward… -
I heard the Litecoin message problem is being worked on, look like we might get an update soon…

Do we announce elsewhere - or do you want to make some further changes?

I think the real solution should be to put a Feathercoin messaging public address for signing message in the checksignature() and the private key should be hold by Bushstar and Zerodrama and possibly 1-2 more trusted person . so Hardfork notification like 33000 can be send to all. [b]No one without the private key can send a message[/b]. The problem we had before the remove of it is that the trusted key is the Litecoin one.
this in fact is a great way to force some very important communication to user in case of emergency. forum is good for “geek”, general public need to be via the client. so the 33000 hard fork and Bitcoin 0.8 version problem are 2 example of good use of this (the second was for Bitcoin not Feathercoin).

[/quote]You need to download the latest feathercoin release (6.4.2) , Bushstar applied a fix to that. ;)
