      Hey Ascario!

      Right now there is no direct way to convert EURO into Feathercoins. Paypal isnt common for Cryptocoin transaktion cause the Paypal transaction could be reversed the Cointransaction cant.

      You could register at Bitcoin.de and get your Coins there vs EURO or you may find someone who is willing to sell you 100 per Paypal, but he needs to trust you.

      Hope that helped you a bit.

      Regards,
      ChekaZ

        Hi Chekaz,

        Thanks for the answer. If I want to buy it through bitcoins, do I have to buy at least one bitcoin or are bitcoins also able to seperate themselves to smaller pieces? Also, what I didnt get is, why would someone have to trust me? Shouldnt I be the one worried since I am paying and I have the risks to not receive any coins?

        Finally, should I consider a different coin type that I can trade with Euro, or figure out a way to get FTCs? Is there any other currency other than BTC and LTC that I can buy easily with regular money?

        Thanks.

          Of course bitcoin can be separated, you can buy 1, 0.1, 0.01 etc.

          As for PayPal, it’s actually a well-known scam. If you don’t receive any coins, you can ask PayPal for a refund, and they will do it. If you do recieve coins, you can still ask for a refund, and they will still give it to you. So you are left with both your money and the coins, and the guy who send you coins loses everything. Google this and you will find many cases.

          For now what Chekaz says is right, buy as many bitcoins as you can, and then get feathercoins.

            Ah now I see, well yes that can be a problem.

            Maybe I should try buying 0.1 bitcoins or something and convert them to FTCs, but I have one question, will it be possible for FTC/BTC price to increase, I mean is it possible that FTC can gain value more than BTC even though BTC stays same or goes down, or all these currencies will go up or down together?

            If I plan to do this transaction, which website is best for payment options and trustworthyness?

              Ive been trying to get proper methods or buying these coins but it always ends up to 1-2 websites which only accept retarded websites like OKPAY which requires you to verify your account with ID etc. Im not sending any ID to some website. How does a lot of people so easily start buying selling. This starts to feel like some scam game really. How can we have an effective market when I cant buy or sell these coins, let alone have a chance to trade with them for real services.

                Yes the process might be difficult because they won’t PayPal.
                It seems Coinbase has the easiest process, this article might help you:

                Personally I never bought, I’ve only mined. :)

                  Thanks again but is it feasible to mine FTC with a regular mid range laptop? How long would it take to mine a block by yourself?

                    no, you need a good graphics card to mine Scrypt coins (I don’t think a mid-range laptop has one). And you must join a pool, for solo mining you would need a lot of mining computers.

                      Well so much hassle but people still find a way to mine and trade these stuff, really amazing…So as an estimation, with a regular computer with average gpu that can at least play some late games with low setup, how long will it take to mine 1 FTC in a pool? Do you think its worth it?

                        I have tried mining with a card like that and it took about 1 day to mine 1 FTC. Of course I can’t say for sure since I don’t even know the name of your card.
                        At the current price it’s not worth it, because you must consider you waste electricity too.
