Feathercoin should avoid labeling itself as an "alt"
-
I fully agree with panoramix on that issue.
-
Let me update the “things we oppose” with “fiat” then.
-
I consider btc an alt coin.
I see alt as in Alternative, Hence Alternative Coin to me means anything aside fiat…
The public perception is different though I think.
When most people think of an alt, they think everything “competing” with btc/ltc/drk.
feathercoin isn’t in competition so I agree that calling us an alt isn’t really that good. Nor do i think it matters anyway.
The masses can hate us and our price can go down for all I care. I know where we are going and what we will become.
Last thing we need as another flood of people to ftc right now… We have to much going on to try support more people.
Soon though. Very soon.

Imo, in our brand attitude, fiat should be altoghether opposed. As experience has already shown, wide use of fiat and “economic stimulation” does not allow to really repair the economic system.
As much as I agree with the second statement, I disagree with the first.
Fiat has it’s place as the gov’s form of currency.
The people will move on to crypto’s but crypto’s can’t replace fiat for the gov.

You are right. Fiat is a centralized currency of the government. But “economic stimulation” as it is practiced today should be opposed.
When most people think of an alt, they think everything “competing” with btc/ltc/drk.
I do not understand why do you think DRK is special.
-
Hah… I don’t… That’s my point. It’s just another niche/gimmick coin.
“economic stimulation” as it is practiced today should be opposed.
Couldn’t agree more.

It’s a “cryptocurrency” within it’s own right? Only the basis was used, everything else built thereupon is Feathercoin, not some clone of a clone of a clone.
Within it’s own right it is not an alt, but a full blown “currency” stop thinking of Feathercoin as an “alt” unless you just want to implement what the flavour of the month is.
So as per the other thread, yes, it requires definition (for some) to me, it’s “money” in it’s own right (though the day I can use it in the UK to pay for gas/electric as well as shopping will be a big day for me), not an alt. Sorry but your a little past the “sex shop” only purchase options only for your “coin” now…it is not an alt, it has it’s own character and is still growing!

I’m a Scotsman, I’m full of “Independence” ideas, I can’t help it and no, I’m not sorry ;)
Why I’m drawn to crypto in the first place.
I just see things slightly “off” to some of you.
Bitcoin is Litecoins DNA, Litecoin is Feathercoins “DNA” that’s all, you only took the DNA, what you do after that. It’s a totally separate entity, unless you want to bootstrap them together in support of each other.
We are on the same side. Sometimes its hard to put into words that linearly make sense and hit the keyboard too hastily, why I get frustrated a lot, but. What you have done with that DNA, is your own path, so it’s not an “alt” in it’s entirety, Feathercoin has it’s own way, it’s own collective “soul”. The ones chasing each others tails, knee jerk reactions to a fart in the wind, they are the alts, no direction, like a haggis on a hilltop, never goes anywhere but round in circles. They are just alts!
If you realise this, it’ll free you from the worry of competition, though it cannot be discounted, watched for interesting events, sure. I see Feathercoin as most, as a baby. You’re “evolving” and way ahead of the curve of most “alts”. If you take this perspective, you are free to focus on what you have at hand, what’s being implemented more clearly without worrying about anything, all the pieces are there, they just need hooked up. Patience.
The point I wanted to make not so very well in the last post…
Feathercoin is it’s own “brand/product/ThingyMaBob” already. A gold bar doesn’t require much maintenance, just a clean now and then, it’s the interest in how shiny it is, that’s what you’re trying to attract?
Yes I can be verbose, I can’t put things in an easier way for me, which I know, can look a little “weird”. Different perspectives, may seem confrontational, but not on different paths
I should ask Calem to translate for me tbh, he has a far better grasp of English than I do lol and similar points of view on most things it would appear.
The greatest step any crypto can take atm, is to detach itself from Fiat or inherent value based upon other “currencies”. One I’m confident Feathercoin can pull off with the community it has…sometime in the future! hehe
I don’t point guns Mr Panoramix, I point “Intent” it’s tougher than a bullet ;D
Apologies for the TL:DR but I’m not sorry for the content ;)
Now stop poking things with guns that don’t need poking, enjoy yer day slacks, off to enjoy teh Sunshine…my only sunshine…you make me…cmon, sing with Flobby :o

Sorry I just like the movie when Mr. Pink talks about being a professional, sorry for the guns, Tarantino’s movies are just so violent :) .
