Hey Team!

OK, I finally got the docker in a box working and repo uploaded.

https://github.com/natedavis/ftc-in-a-box

I wrote up some simple instructions on how to get started. Basically, what this allows you to do, is spin up a 3 containers. 1 container is running two daemons of feathercoind built from the feathercoin/feathercoin github repo. Specifically the 0.9.6.2 branch. The 2nd container is running a copy of iquidus explorer built from the master branch of it’s repository. I can only get part of it working at the moment. It connects to this regtest cluster automatically, and shows blocks, but I can’t get any blocks to list after I generate some. The 3rd container is a mongodb container to run the db for iquidus.

Feel free to check it out. Excited to have something like this working. Hope is to make the explorer fully work, and allow developers who want to get into feathercoin have an easy way to write APIs and test. Check it out.

Sounds like your client can’t find any nodes, and as such, it can’t sync. If you get into C:\Users%username%\AppData\Roaming\Feathercoin you can delete the peers.dat file. Don’t touch the wallet.dat, as that contains the keys to your wallet addresses. If you loose that file, you loose any and all coins you have. Then restart the client. Let us know if that works for you.

Its been a very long time since I have been active with the Feathercoin community. I hope I can make that change in the future. I am excited to continue down this road. I have some infrastructure resources I would like to donate to the Feathercoin developers. I have some build servers we can use. My strength is in automating development workflows, such as with Docker / Gitlab and such. So, hope to be active again in helping where I can.

Here is a great little video from Jimmy Song about SegWit. It helped me understand it much better, from a higher level. https://youtu.be/M_GmiapVJAQ

Welcome! Great group of people here.

On the Feathercoin Wiki - I just posted a howto for mining Feathercoins.
Hope that helps get you going -
https://github.com/FeatherCoin/Feathercoin/wiki/Mining

@petesch What you need to do is the following -

copy your “old” wallet.dat file to a location that you know is safe…

Setup the new feathercoin client, and launch it. So if you have a windows machine, or a newer mac or whatever. It will start syncing the entire blockchain. Depending on the speed of the network it might be a little bit. Let it sync all the way. Then when that is done, quit the client. Make sure it’s off. Locate the appdata folder for your feathercoin data. Rename the wallet.dat file here to - “empty_wallet.dat” so that you know it’s the empty wallet with private keys that don’t hold any value.

Then, copy your old wallet.dat file into this directory. Launch the updated client, and it should start the re-scan and show you your balance. If it still doesn’t show you any balance let us know.

@hal I would love to host this faucet if you wanted. I can spin up a faucet.feathercoin.com site that we can deploy the code on. Always on, and free for the feathercoin community…

@acidd @encrypter Hey Guys! You can find my travis-ci build stuff in my GitHub branch - https://github.com/natedavis/feathercoin

It’s all in 0.9.6.2 branch currently on that fork. I am still running into problems with it building. I had it working months ago, but am just getting my toes wet. I suspect it will take someone just a few hours to get it building properly if we follow Bitcoin Core’s lead.

@alkaline18 OK, thanks.

@alkaline18 Yeah, I can make that work.

@alkaline18 I would love to be part of this conversation also. Thanks.

We could start by forking the litecoin implementation and see how far we can get…

https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecore-lib

Hey Team, hope this post find everyone well. Are there any developers or users that want to help take on the task of porting bitcore and insight-api to feathercoin?

https://github.com/bitpay/insight-api
https://github.com/bitpay/bitcore-node

Specifically the reason for doing this, is if we have a working insight-api that is specific to Feathercoin, and it is maintained by our community, with simple build instructions, we can reach out to Trezor and ask to be included in their hardware wallet. Giving the benefit of a hardware wallet to Feathercoin hodlers ;) . If there is anyone willing to help in this endever, post away, and we can chat about options on making it a reality.

Welcome! This is a great place.
