      What distinguishes our coin from everything else?

      The feathercoin team.

      The aggressive marketing.

      A valuable coin (commands a respectable price) that is still easily accessible for new miners and people new to cryptocurrencies to invest in.

      Most successful start than probably any other coin.

      Annoying ability to get better and stronger the more its attacked.

            The community, it is open source so it is leverageing the work done by bitcoin and litecoin, but directing to be usefull to the normal Joe consumer.

            We are developing all the needs of a secure currency; the network and the technology.

              I think the main USP is that there is somewhere you can go to get help. With Bitcoin you are left out in the cold, just deal with it. The forums are very cliquey, it’s seen as being mainly for geeks.

              I respond to every meaningful tweet addressed to us, I answer questions and try to bring clarity to a domain that is filled with esoteric jargon and confusion.

              We are the digital currency you can trust. Your granny could use Feathercoin.

                I Love the fact that Feathercoin Cares so much about the Little Guy… There are 99% Of us Little Guys out there and we are all sick and tired of being sick and Tired this Coin has the potential to be the coin we exchange at our Grocery Stores and Online Services.

                  And this is seen in our commitment to resist ASICs. Our proposition is Value Innovation rather than pure Tech Innovation; Sustained Innovation rather than Disruptive Innovation.

                  The problem with those ASICs is that their adoption is fuelled by greed and the need for control. As soon as they are no longer profitable the miners will abandon the network leaving us with a high difficulty and a lack of hashing power, sound familiar? Meanwhile those ASICs will become expensive paperweights and door stops.

                  At least with a Scrypt based miner you still have a high performance PC that can be repurposed for gaming etc.

                  But how sustainable is that in the long run? How will we out innovate the miners?

                        [b]I definitly agree, but are we sure enough about the fact it’s asic resistant, or does it need more investigation ? [/b]

                        Hopefully we are, because I’m convinced asic will be bitcoins death or just a method to regulate bitcoin/cryptocoin more easily by fighting decentralization. I’m not against bitcoin and certainly not against asic (I’m one of those gold2.0 diggers/lunatics somebody mentioned before lolz,I ordered my own asic-miner) but i think [i][b]asic and decentralization doesn’t go hand in hand[/b][/i].
                        Asic is not joe-user friendly and way to expensive. Think even joe doensn’t know the word asic and if he knows and prices will drop till it’s more affortable he won’t be interested because it’s non-profitable by then or govs_z_ did a 51% using their own asics

                        All by all i think this isn’t for the near future and maybe after the fall happening now in bitcoinworld they’ll pump more money in the system, get known by more people… and exchange will raise like never before… but one day it will be enough for many folks out there and things will ruled or ruined.

                        Some signs already came across :
                        http://www.scribd.com/doc/151346841/Bitcoin-Foundation-Response-to-California-DFI
                        http://bitcoinmagazine.com/germany-provides-leadership-for-bitcoin-tax-clarity/
                        http://bitcoinmagazine.com/month-in-review-june/

                        Crypto-currency has only 2 ways to succeed in my opinion :

                        1. Stay as decentralized as possible
                        2. Going centralized but why would you create one then ???

                          1. If you have a question to ask, a suggestion to be made, or an ambitious project ready to go into life, the active community is ready to be there for you.

                          2. If you’re doing anything from giving a tip, paying off your friends for lunch, or making small transactions to buy something, the faster transaction speeds help you get your money fast and securely.

                          3. From my experience, Feathercoin is one of the most stable coins out there, making it easier for merchants to use.

                          A combination of these 3 points (and many more) gives feathercoin the leading advantage.
