When will FTC come back?
-
@chatig89 Can you change the title of this thread to “What will you do to help FTC come back?” so that it is less passive and more active?
-
I tell anyone who will listen about feathercoin and also those that don’t, you know the ones their eyes glaze over, that’s where the conversation ends with them but I will keep at it. I think that I have my boss convinced, he was the last person I thought would get a grasp, but he is definitely gaining an understanding :)

@ChrisJ: I totally agree with post #30. It is strange how few people want to spend their feathercoins to help build the coins value. There are a lot of coins out there that could be spent. I believe it can skyrocket in value like BTC eventually but it needs merchant adoption first. I am developing a site that will allow people to buy goods and services with FTC as well as LTC and BTC. At this point I haven’t had any hits on my previous attempts to accept FTC for transactions. I’ve sold lots of items for BTC on the other hand. I know the price is depressed at the moment compared to November, but someone has to spend in order to help show awareness for the market. I don’t want FTC to be another coin that is only used for arbitrage between exchanges. I would gladly spend my FTC hoard if there were merchants that had realistic prices and goods/services I can use.

Its called “Market-Manipulation” what happens right now. Its not that easy to break out. If we want to, we need more real-world-usage.Just my opinion.
[/quote]I have a sugestion, make it easy for non techies like me to cut/paste code like we do with paypal to sell out products on word press. I have been strugling all day to find a way to take a payment on the site and I can’t figure it out. 99.99% of feathercoin users in the real world are going to be like me who need simple way to take payments online and we can’t figure it out, solve that and the price will go up! (even bit coin you have to use a middle man like bitpay, make it super simple like paypal does which I hate but i like ease of use)

In all honesty, the Feathercoin community is amazing. There are so many avenues of progress and development that are being pursued. I agree that we all should be doing everything possible to further Feathercoin promotion and adoption.
I am with netnerd (post 32) in that I tell anyone who will listen about Feathercoin. I have already had my first convert who has purchased Feathercoins and is using the Marketplace. As for me, I continually search the marketplace for goods that I need. In addition, I have been working on an aggregate website intended to be a resource for anyone looking for information on Feathercoin. The idea sprouted from conversations with my convert (mentioned above). He was looking for quick information due to limited time. I found myself typing up quick instructions for him and it all evolved from there.
Based on what I have seen since recently becoming a member of the forum, the other crypocurrencies better watch out – I have not seen another that has such a passionate community behind it. It’s only a matter of time before everyone is talking Feathercoin and saying “Bitcoin who?”.

[/quote]Setting up payments through CoinPayments.net is simple with WordPress integration using WooCommerce. The end result is very similar to the way the PayPal integration works the IPN deals with everything in the background and updates order status for you.
If your getting stuck drop me a PM and we can have a chat about it over Skype or something similar and hopefully we can get you up and running within an hour.

Once the owners of btc-e get their 300 BTC buy finished…
Who else would have 300 BTC sitting right at .36?
Bet on a FTC/USD on BTC-E shortly after that?

Although as a disclaimer 5BTC of that order is mine. :)

[/quote]i like the way you think. i wish someone would keep a buys & sells depthchart over time. that would be interesting to look at. the ftc for sale was over 5 million yesterday then 200k of that went to market sells. i wouldnt doubt if btc-e owned 10 million ftc. once they pump it up to .001 it might be 15-20 million

Perfect timing for the forum take down yesterday to, eh?

Perhaps having a meeting place when there’s attacks is in order.

[/quote]BTCE wall is down to about 175 BTC - at this rate it’ll be gone Wed-Fri for sure.

Here’s hoping…
I’m still looking for another 300BTC to pop up lower.

oh enough going lower already!

looks like ftc is doomed, even the minning diff is dropping fast

[/quote]Give it some time, it will take quite a while before we break off the big whales hoarding the coins.
Like LiteCoin too. :P -

[/quote]Yeah, what level is considered too easy almost again or dangerously low at this point, if ever? It was around 203 early today and has dropped to 163 here now, with 149 being next in 5 hours or so. Lowest I’ve ever seen it since Nov/Dec.
Should we be concerned about that?
-
Maybe its because of the disappearance of FTC at CoinMarketCap and some coin jumpers were not mining it?

That difficulty won’t stay too low for long. The second the work/value ratio dips around DOGE levels Multipool by itself will dump 20,000 MHs on it and stragglers will follow along until it averages out.
That’s not even taking into consideration hashco.ws or middlecoin.
