Id give my vote to the POW/POS idea. I know thats a big change and a lot of work but I think it gives us a number of advantages.
It solves the difficulty issue as stated above.
adds a layer of security as a 51% now requires more than just a lot of hashrate
it gives people a second mining option for income
in order to stake you need to run a node, more nodes helps distribute the network
I flag posts as spam when I see them. I think @Wellenreiter has to delete them. Not sure why your account is flagged.
Is constantly forking to fight off ASICs worth it? (not saying we are, just a general thought) There are some advantages of ASICs on a network and it seems like eventually they will be developed for every algorithm.
That being said, I think this is likely a scam. Im sure @ChekaZ will confirm once he has more info.
Just something I very quickly through together for a yard sale we had at the house recently. I cant take full credit, I just added Feathercoin to the image I found on Google - so credit to whoever created it originally.

Im also no designer :/ I personally like the dark grey/blueish color icon myself.

I absolutely can! We are located in Bowling Green Kentucky, USA. Ill get it in the daytime for you guys.
Thats not too far from me, cool!
When you reinstalled the wallet, did you let it resync? or just use the old blockchain data files? Id personally delete everything but the wallet.dat file, then reinstall. Let it sync and then replace the new wallet.dat with your existing one.
No kidding?!? this is great news!!
Very cool. Are all board members on this forum? It would be nice to formally welcome everyone to the community.
Same thing happened here. Strong, recently changed password plus 2FA on my account so Im not that worried. I have no coins stored there anyway so they wont get much.
Very cool! how large is it? It almost looks like the size of a drink coaster. That would be something cool to give to a bar/pub if they accepted Feathercoin… FTC branded, 3D printed drink coasters!!
Cool, what printer do you have? Id like to see the finished product!
@tobi97l said in Solo Mining:
@hitherhills Just as a reminder. If you don’t trust pool operators you can always setup your own p2pool and have all the advantages of solomining while you are actually pool mining.
I use my own p2pool too. Currently i am mining on miningpoolhub though because the difficulty is so high and i like frequent payouts. But normally i would use my p2pool too just because it’s more secure.
This was my thought as well. I set one up years ago, its not too difficult to do, give it a try!
Were you mining to a pool or solo?
