State of the Union
-
BBT will continue to mention FTC in each of our video’s along with showing us hashing FTC for additional feature-play. In addition, were thinking of getting a large vinyl cut for one of the mining rigs with the Feathercoin logo… :)
In other news one of our sponsors owns a online t-shirt company and made some new T’s for us. We will be sporting them in the next few episodes and they feature Feathercoin logo’s … just doing our part to bring awareness to the coin.
The background of our host is one of 14 years in big marketing, working for Anheuser-Busch/Inbev, the largest beer company in the world. One thing from experience is branding. Branding is a large part of success; lots of media, good presence online showing the logo/usage and the brand begins to gain awareness and by proxy gains value. Our entire team loves the coin and one day will get out to the UK for one of your meetups ;)
Oh btw, one of the T’s [url=http://hollowwear.com/store/index.php/miner-bit-coin-feather-coin-lite-coin.html]http://hollowwear.com/store/index.php/miner-bit-coin-feather-coin-lite-coin.html[/url]
If you scroll down, one of their other 4 designs. They are in BitPay’s Queue to accept Bitcoin, I am talking to him about accepting Feathercoin and how that would work. Stay tuned

Progress report:
So last night I was up until about 2 in the morning working on this, and I’m happy to report I have Feathercoind building and running in Visual Studio!
The QT client is up next, I’m just having some trouble with the custom build steps for the translations, but it won’t be long now.
Talk about a pain in the ass. It took no less than 2 1/2 hours to build QT, and I had to rebuild Boost 3 times before I got it right. It’s no wonder newbies arn’t just jumping into working on the code base: Doing so is HARD!!!
I’m thinking of this project as “Bitcoin Minus Bitcoin”, because what I’m trying to achieve is making it trivial to get everything you need to build Bitcoin… except Bitcoin. The actual source code will be the only thing that you’ll have to supply yourself, so you can drop in the coin of your choice that you want to build.
I can already tell you that having the full range of VS debugging tools will be a huge help to anyone who wants to work on this. The goal is to get it to a point where you can just check everything out of a single Github project, drop in the latest codebase, and start building, simple as that. I won’t promise that that level of simplicity can be achieved, but it’s a worthy goal. Wish me luck!

Best of luck!
