The FTC community needs to look for ways to increase the value by doing something that stands out, which in turn increases interest across the globe.[/quote] Aren’t you a part of FTC community? Have you done (or at least suggested to do) something that stands out?
Personally I think I see people trying to do something for FTC. And of course more people could do so much more.
I use SMOS Linux, which actually is tweaked BAMT. It works from USB and it’s smooth.
I suppose everyone is waiting for FTC to become more known among more people. I especially want that fellows in my country would get to know FTC.
There is this one issue. I have no idea of how the word “feathercoin” should be translated. Or maybe it shouldn’t be translated? Any suggestions? Saying “Feathercoin” in my native language sounds rather strange. Taking Bitcoin as an example in my country it’s not translated. But Bitcoin is easier to pronounce and write. And the word “bit” is kind of non-translatable.
By the way i wanted to create a poll but it seems that simple users can’t do that here. I think it would be interesting to see where is FTC more popular. So could someone create a poll asking where we feathercoiners are from? Answering options could be continents for starters.
In my opinion we should go with even more frequent retargets of just a few percents.
Could someone explain, what do you call a “factor”? ;D
They said subscribtion to checkpoints would be optional. Can someone confirm it is optional now? If yes, then ACP is really just an adventage. And I do not see much of centralisation here.
At first English is not my primary language. And i find the title Koolio Escrow a bit confusing. What does “koolio” mean? Why is it simply not called Escrow Service?

I hope this timer is right. :) I’ll be there.

These screenshots should prove, that I’ve been mining Feathers at least from June 17 to June 28 :)

I think it’s not possible at this momment. At first there needs to be developed some convienient way to make transactions. People can’t just carry their laptops to buy stuff. Smartphones isn’t really an option because not everyone has them and they are quite expensive.
Anyway if any country could take cryptocurrency for national use that should be really small country. I mean many times smaller than Scotland…
[b]Item 3[/b]. Post you cgminer settings, video card settings, and hash rate.
I have 2 GPUs: Radeon 6950 and 6850. Hash rates are 400 and 250 khash/s. All my settings are stored in cgminer.conf file. So here it is: (the first value is for 6950 and the second is for 6850)

[b]Item 1[/b]. Show off your rig (pics) and write an article (minimum 70 words) about your mining setup
[URL=http://imgbox.com/acnMldAw][IMG]http://t.imgbox.com/acnMldAw.jpg[/img][/URL]
My rig is quite simple. I wanted to try mining, but i didn’t want to spend much on it. So I bought mainly used parts. It cost me about 400 USD and gives 650 khash/s. Here is what I’ve got:
MB: MSI 945GT Speedster
RAM: 2GB
CPU: Some kind of Intel Duo @ GHz
PSU: Fortron FSP700-50ARN 700W
GPU1: VTX Radeon 6950 – 400 khs
GPU2: VTX Radeon 6850 – 250 khs
Rig is headless :) and has no HDD. It is running OS from USB stic. At first it was using BAMT, but I switched to SMOS Linux recently (it’s just better). Also because of the MB I had to use PCI-E riser x4 to x16 cable. And of course the rig is running 24/7 :)

I just can’t refuse free feathercoins. :D Thanks!
Yeah, but why Feathercoin has two options for starting symbol? And why 6 and 7? Why not F ? (just curious)
P.S. My one and only adress also starts with 7 ::)

Why thanks!
How will this fork work? Will we still have to reach the current retarget, or will it be split?
I am asking because expected block and retarget times are growing and growing :-\
I’ve just found out that another coin had gone trough hard fork. It’s PPCoin. Thread on bitcointalk if you are interested: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=144964.0
Is there any pool that has online miner? Since at this time FTC needs any hashing power, I think we need at least one.
There are source codes of litecoin miners: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=52386.0
It shouldn’t be hard to make it for feathercoin.
