Yea people can’t do math lol. And then they argue also that “Oh, Litecoin had no GPU’s, so it was fairer”. Well… if we take that in account, and a decent low end gpu can bring in 100kh/s at least, that’s at least 2x the power of a high end home CPU. So if we do the math, if every miner had only one gpu and it was a low end one bringing in 100kh/s, then 2.8m coins should have been mined the first day to match Litecoin’s 350k coins. As you can see, given the circumstances, Feathercoin was actually UNDERMINED

I feel cleansed.

Probably will get me banned and win me no favors here but based on Coblee’s original comments and then his feigned attempt to offer “constuctive” criticism he can eat a bowl of d*cks in my opinion.
Nevertheless I was professional in my reply on the bitcointalk forum.

[/quote]That’s all anyone could ever ask, thank you. I was particularly happy to see Sunny from PPC chime in, he’s certainly a friend to the alt coin developers.

[quote]what an “interesting” pile of arguments. Lets talk about the reality of crypto in general. Bitcoin - wonderful idea but more concentration was put on coming up with faster ways to mine it than ways to use it. Litecoin- better implementation of the original idea of crypto but again very little concentration on actually being able to buy something with it. (before you get your panties in a bunch think from the viewpoint of John Q Public) further similarity between these 2 is their communities. both started out great with ideas and etc but then quickly turned into a troll playground with stagnation of purpose.
I hold all coins. I lost my BTC wallet awhile back and was in some seriously shitty circumstances and asked this community for help. Exactly one person donated 100 btc which allowed me to basically continue to survive. To this person I sent back 1500 BTC immediately upon locating the proper USB stick. This one person who shall remain nameless demonstrated that there is still a potential for an actual community.
Community is the thing i like most about feathercoin. People talk about fair launches and pre-mining and all that other nonsense. the reality is those that are in the know are always more successful than those that are not. That applies to everything in life.
Feathercoin is promising not because of what has been done with it but because of what is going to be done with it. Most people currently on this forum and others were not around for the beginning of bitcoin. It is easy to determine those that were not because they say things like “has no value” and etc. bitcoin had no value and the people who believed in it did so not because of some value based upon fiat but based upon the idea of crypto in general. If it were not for those of us who saw the potential none of these other coins would exist and bitcoin itself would no longer exist.
So before you sit there at your keyboard and argue with eachother about which coin is better think upon the fact that they all have the potential to change the world. Stop basing your arguments upon fiat value as fiat is the largest “scam coin” ever devised by man.
I cannot really form an opinion based upon this partnership announcement because i do not have enough information but if a partnership is done correctly with the proper motivation it could be huge. Here is hoping the motivation is proper. [/quote]

that is always what has both frustrated me while amazing me at the same time. bitcoin and the resulting altcoins both have given people the ability to live out from underneath the thumb of governments and banks in general. Instead of embracing this most people are just concerned with profitability as it relates to fiat. Further, when it comes to trading and etc., people are too quick to give away the freedom that they have by giving banking information in order to be “verified”. To me this is the epitome of stupidity. Instead i would prefer simply to be able to use my coins to purchase things directly and from a distance. The first coin to solve this issue of purchasing power + anonymity will basically win the battle in its entirety. That is why i liked feathercoin to start with. it is the people involved with this community and their passion which if properly directed could conceivably achieve this goal. The problem is all communities start out with the best of intentions but eventually they lose their drive or their drive becomes misdirected. This one so far is leading all others based solely upon the implementation of ideas. That one fact makes it exciting and i hope to see more. In the meantime i would like to see more details about this alliance of coins because as of this moment just going upon the statement of 51% attack mitigation, i do not feel that is enough of a reason.

[/quote]Thank you for sharing your thoughts. For me personally, the diversity of the people that support the coin excites me. Whether your someone that focused on providing a alt solution to the Federal Reserve or simply someone that wants to provide coin relates services for your business, there’s a place for you at Feathercoin.
As far as misdirection, as the numbers grow, there will certainly be quite a few competing opinions on the direction. In my political life, I’ve helped develop massive grassroots initiatives. All I can promise is effort, nothing more.
51% has VERY little to do with the idea of the partnership. In my professional life, I’ve helped work details between IT organizations to share resources and promotion. I’m simply transferring this experience to the crypto community. Who knows what the future holds, I like our chances.
