Feathercoin exclusive mining software
-
How about a all exclusive FTC mining software or program that has feathercoin already setup and configured to solo mine or pool mine.
Could prob even use existing miners as long as credit goes out to the original creators and as long as all copyrights etcs. follow along.

Been suggested so many times, including by yours truly haha.
That said, I forgot to make an important point before in comments regarding a proprietary Feathercoin miner, which is this:
“Using a proprietary or built in miner allows us to easily change the hashing algorithm without affecting miners, since an update to the mining software can be done simultaneously with the blockchain since they’re in the same client. Because the miner will be tied with the wallet software, it allows the miner to see the current block #, which allows it to make hashing changes at the appropriate time as well. This makes our goal of being ASIC-hostile much easier and feasible should we need to implement something along the lines of a new algorithm such as the possibly planned Scrypt-jane somewhere down the line, and any other algo changes thereafter”
Thus, we can have two clients available… a simple wallet client as we have now for people who merely want to use the coin, and a larger miner’s client which can have both the wallet and proprietary miner built into one.
