Myriad coin pumped 100% after releasing SMS wallet
-
No, theres allready created an own thread for each of the Weekly news.
The problem is that people see Weekly news, and if they are not allready into feathercoin or invested and have an stake in it. They dont bother to read it.
ave
Theres should rather be something like.
Thread name: Feathercoin ATM is here! Looking for adopters!.
Thread name: Bounty: Feathercoin android wallet
And so on.
Not hide it, tucked away in the Weekly news.
This combined with channeling normal chat in to the feathercoin official thread to keep it on top would certainly be an step in the right direction
I agree with that. I think most new entrants in to this scene aren’t really in to forums so we could have separate announcements under the News section in the on the main site then schedule out tweets and facebook posts for the different timezones. We can do forum post as well and link it to it, it’s to make sure it gets full exposure.
A lot of this is about getting the right sequence of activities. Back when Mark worked so hard on the wallets there just wasn’t the demand from the public, most of the demand was just speculative and people were flipping coins on exchanges. Now the crypto scene has become more embedded in the minds of regular folk I think they are doing their research and unlike the early adopters they are looking for coins that align with their values rather than technical innovation.
So if we’re all game we should try pushing again for some of that early work that Svenn and UKMark and Nutnut did, if they are up for it.

That part is dead as far as i know. I havent talked to Ukmark in ages, and i think we agreed that the wallet was to risky investment.

With price so low it might be worth to invest some $ and time into FTC and bring the glory back from depths of time ;)
There was lot of good work acomplished already far way more than most of shitcoins can dream of.
Just a bit of propagation and consistency is needed.
- If the new algo will be unique in some way it could be huge leap forward (if we inform people about it >:D )
I am very glad I am small part of this comunity since the beginnig.

Until theres some changes in an positive direction im not gonna recommend any of my friends to invest. So im not gonna go screaming on forum for people to pump/invest their money either.
I think there needs to be alot more than some propagation and consistency. Theres the Feathercoin ATM in the mix, which is an great feature for sure. But what else?
What is beeing done at this very moment? I remember 6months back how entusiastisk alot of people was and new ideas/directions where talked about, but non really got realised.
Just saying, and no im not the one to point fingers, what the hell have i ever done for feathercoin myself? Nothing really except thinking :P
Im just trying to give an feedback from the average user. Who most likely invested at 0.0004BTC/FTC after the forum/chats where glowing FTC/USD on BTC-E, new fancy xx, gonna do this xx.
Buy now while still “Soo cheap” “Much Coin” “Invest now”
Note.
I might be wrong, Ive not been on the feathercoin forum much lately, usually browsing on bitcointalk, And therefore arent enlighten about the latest development for feathercoin.
I do know a load about myriadcoin,darkcoin,microcoin,Dogecoin,Aidencoin and so on though, which kinda underline my whole point earlier.
Im not gonna get into an “new algo” discussion. Allready said my case on skype. And i dont think people liked my opinion.
Ps.
Im an happy guy, even though my posts may sound a bit harsh/negative. Deal with it 8)

I am thinking about investing 5 digit USD sum into FTC!
No I am not, just kidding.
It is really surprising to see Svenn speak like this.
FTC did good job not only ATM, add Hullcoin, prostate cancer initiative, market, link and so one.
Due to bad marketing I see tremendous potential vasted.
But that could be easily changed.
I can help by more frequent retweeting to my folowers. Nothing more nothing less.

Appearantly im no longer an Admin, so now i can speak my mind without selfcensor >:D ;D
I guess im just a bit dissapointed.
Been away (except from an occationally 2sec dropby) doing other RL stuff and focusing on the bigger crypto picture.
Only to return an see that everything seems to be at kinda standstill. Another couple of months people wont any longer know what feathercoin is at all
Mining section seems to contain mostly pools trying to recruit miners, doesnt seem to be any miners there anymore. But why would them, even most of the core team dont mine feathercoin anymore
(Still not trying to go into an algo discussion)
Newbie section seems to have more spam/commercial than newcommers.
and in general looking over the thread it seems its generally the core people that discuss everything. Small to none new blod with entusiasm and the devotion to bring feathercoin further.
Im off to enjoy myself with an movie (Blonde Squad) rather that beeing an grumpy troll on the forum C:-)
And yes it really is an movie! 8.7 on imdb (7 votes)
Looks like pornstars had some pocketchange left and decided to pursue their acting career!

Wow that’s a big investment. That’s the kind of money that could get a crypto business off the ground. I’m not saying don’t invest but maybe think about exactly where you invest that money.

You did see that he was joking?

Ah Lol no.
But to be fair
No I am not just kidding.
Is the opposite of.
No I am not. Just kidding.You see the easy mistake

They stated it is revolutionary feature never seens in any altcoin before.
Wait, wait really?
If I am right FTC already have working SMS wallet more that half year…
Maybe we should promote it a little.
- I also see there is complete lack of promotion for FTC market, why?
FTC had it in July 13, I’ve been bringing up everywhere I can. Problem is the dev shut it down due to lack of community support.
-
Aaaaand dump 100%
-
Aaaaand dump 100%
You sound a bit jealous
and nope, not 100% dump
They are still at 30. went from 20 to 35, and now at 30. Im betting it will stay stable there for an while
Oh and they now have revealed an ATM prototype developed by one of the members.
Gotta say im pretty impressed with the agility and active development going on over there.
-
We have a working ATM made by one of our members :)

That’s what gets me about the perception of FTC elsewhere. FTC is innovating far beyond what 90% of the coins in existence do, yet there still is a feeling (for FUD buyers) that FTC is a “scam” to this day. And, I blame John (Justabit).
That’s why I’m currently attempting to rid him from this scene. ;)

I know that, it wasnt my point. They appearently had it as an side project. Just surprice surprice heres an ATM in the making. No idea drafting beforehand etc.
It seems they have initiative and the right core to get stuff done.
Im not saying feathercoin consists of sleepers / lack the initiative.
Im just saying that im positivly surpriced by the myriadcoin team, they do an good job and seem to stand out compared to alot of other coins which starts to become a good amount.

IMO the analyzis/FUD regarding stuff like instadump from litecoin guys, that we are still under attack,and that they mine us just to build an sell wall etc is more damaging atm.
Not to mention that it seems everyone is thinking that an new algo is gonna save feathercoin/make it popular again.
Which in my eyes sounds like a really shortterm/mediocre goal.
Theres new coins coming out every day, and algos poping up all nearly as often (keccak,groestl,X11,X13,Scrypt,Scrypt Adaptive-n,Skein,JHA and so on),
The only thing that happens when an new algo is introduced is alot of back/forth on how to get it working for the miners, then after an day or two theres three new coins using the same algo and voila.
Its not special anymore.
To make an coin stand out you have to adapt to a concept that separate yourself from the other ones and make it an interesting investment.
My suggestions would be to look into the premine concept. Nobody likes premine, cause it will just damage the rep of the coin, and people worry about instadump from the devs as soon as it hits an exchange. Which then again influence the buy interest. But what about integrating an 1% premine over time. Like for example every X block theres an payout to an dev adress. This followed up with it actually being used to promote/development for the coin and have this well documented would surely be okay, and create an healthy eco system for the coin. If im not mistaken i read earlier that bush needed to prioritize RL work and that he asked for fundraising to get an function developed. Which is understandable, but it does make the coin look weak and like an dieing hobby.
A second suggestion would be to look into the block size. As of now theres 200FTC pr block disregarding everything, and an diff adjust every X blocks.
What about making the block size an fluent variable based on time, for example if you find a block 30 seconds after the previouse block you get an smaller block, if you find it long after the previouse block you get an equal larger block value. This will kill the multipool interest, since they sling their hashing power on the chain and work the diff up, they will not get more coins cause they find the block faster than the they are supposed to, but they are worth less. Now if we get pushed up in an diff trap it doesnt matter. Cause when we finally find a block we are looking at an substancially larger block payout.
Note. Im not sure how this could be done on an technical level (blockchain timestamp?), nor have i really thought this one through that much. But it might be worth discussing.
What im trying to say is that i miss an brainstorm as to how the coin is today, whats needs to be done to get it out of the shadow, and actually get going on it.
New algo is not gonna change it, What else?

I’d have no problem with this, providing it was well documented and transparant, especially if it was paired with multi-sig to increase the trust. There has been loads of brilliant talk about Multi-Sig on The Bitcoin Group, about it being the perfect solution for teams/democratic processes, whereby coins can be released upon a mutual agreement from a group that a milestone has been passed, it would be excellent if were were to implement some of these community concepts.
-
Now multi consignment functionality would be an excellent idea to develop!. Like 2 out of 3 had to agree (if 2/2 would have to agree youd be fucked if one dissapeared/died etc…)
These kinds of stuff would be exactly what im talking about.
If you look at the current todo list:
-
- Finish off the article we were working on. // The article that got requested on 3.may. 1Month without comming up with something for the guy, we may as well not bother
- Finish off the Team/Co-Founder project. // diddly daddling
- Create an email subscription option for the newsletter. // diddly daddling
- Re-ignite Link and make the torrent community aware of it’s potential. // Well seems kevlar isnt around anymore?, also what worries me about this “Link” is that it will give the gov an reason to attack feathercoin given that its possible to store “illegal” content in the chain, not to mention that the chain would be unnecessary large (NOTE i havent looked to much into it, might be dead wrong)
- **Create a community run multipool which pays out in ftc and collects fees for bounties. **// Now this is kinda bad, we hate the multipools, but its ok to do it reverse?
- Find the creator of this video and see if they can update it for when NeoScrypt arrives. // definitive an cool video, such things could be easily made if we had funds to pay for quality
- Continue work on the other video projects. // Same as above, and this still is diddly daddling
- Set up a community owned and run multipool which mines the most profitable and pays out in ftc. (Uses fees to fund Bounties) // Same answer as above, kinda inmoral dont you think. That being said, its easy to do, theres allready alot of opensource multipool options, someone just needs to install and set it up. and make an extra function to trade BTC —> FTC
- Job/Bounty board that could have it’s own front end like the Market Place? (Intended to ultimately replace this to do list) // Not an bad idea, but how important is it? your looking at ALOT of work, just look at how long the market took to make, and how this affected other segments that should have been done.
- Start and Finish the Resources page. // Diddly daddling
- Alternate the colours on the forum. // Seriously an priority?
- Make the chat box easier to find. // Chat box should be dead, (bump the thread on bitcointalk instead!)
- Include the chat box inline across all forum pages. // Stupid chatbox that no one uses
Update Feathercoin related information on other pages. (Example: http://wiki.cryptsy.com/ftc) // Spread it yes!, and please dont make it about philosophy, make it about the coin itself.
Most of this stuff is timeconsuming smallstuff that wouldnt actually influence the coin in much regard. Theres to much other stuff that needs doing than to go around polishing small stuff.

Of course there’s always a need for prioritizing tasks in the right way, if you’ve followed the discussions on the board lately you’d know that it’s being formalized how to solve this problem as we speak.
FTC have a great lot of good things around like innovation and enthusiasm. However we’re lacking the instrument to “steer the ship” at the moment.
In my experience small projects that start as a hobby for people usually end up that way. People get a great idea, start working on it and then loose interest in finishing it (or lack time), simply because it’s hard and takes time to finish something. Happy cheers from the sideline can only get a person to go so far, in the end we need to work as a team to get the important things done.
It seems like a new structure, where people take more responsibility, is actually growing at last. Let’s utilize that to it’s fullest extent and see where that takes us :)

Link only stores magnet links, nothing more and there is no bloat.
