Ach… ads man who needs them?
Pointless digital clutter.

Why would you want loads of ads as a mobile user?
I’d much rather pay for a service with no ads!

I’ve spent the last lifetime avoiding ads - why would I want to adopt a system who’s usp is based around ad revenue?

It’s a no from me - I’m out

Would it not be an idea to get this one widely adopted first?

To add to that… it’s purposely by design.
It’s supposed to be asic resistant.

Mining for the masses rather than huge centralised farms in dodgy territories

Happy new year

@trancendence fantastic work! Look forward to it. Happy new year!!!

@nidge1169 had to ask but is the wallet synced? Also are you using your original wallet.dat file?

@j_scheibel

I did a full sync about three months ago and it took around five days so I understand what some newbies are complaining about. Granted I have a 2009 eight core previous generation Mac Pro on adsl at the time but it was tedious

@acidd
Acidd. You’re a gent. That sounds great about the new version and thank you very much for taking the time to have a look at the Mac OS version.

Very helpful.
I hope you get sometime to enjoy yourself over the next few days as well.

All the best.

This seems to be a recurring problem which I myself experience as I cannot run the latest wallet as my version of Mac OS is a year out of date.

If us relatively it literate users have problems negotiating this particular bugbear what chance is there for wider adoption. A super fast transaction time is pointless if it’s very problematic to manage your own wallet.
Secondly do these orphan chains have an impact at all on the transaction speed?
I’m imagining a windows registry type situation where there are all these branches going off in different directions until the number of branches gets so many the whole lots slows right down.

@acidd said in Hello and please be clear about the wallet problem:

Hi and welcome to the forums. Happy Posting

There clearly is a problem syncing the wallet. I have like 5 other wallets and most of them take less than a day.

We are aware of this issue.

Please be honest and let me know what the issue is, whether you guys are working on it, and when and how you think it will get fixed. I am a patient man, just want to know where I stand.

We haven’t been dishonest at all. quite the opposite in-fact…We have explained to new users…many many times…that the main reason for the long sync time is the large amount of orphan chains We have to process on our blockchain. This is because Feathercoin was attacked in the very early days and even now we see people trying different things to get more money. It’s something we are working on and in the new version of the client, because of the way blocks are processed the sync time is greatly reduced.

Acid…
“large amount of orphan chains We have to process on our blockchain”

Apologies if this is a daft question but this “damage” you mention. Is it possible to remove these orphans or un-orphan them?

I like it.

Bold doesn’t bother me. I’d prefer it if FTC was a heavyweight project.

Better for the failing eyesight as is.

Looks good, old logo is recognised since 2013 though, your new one looks more 2018 though.

@ruvim is the file extension definitely- without any reasonable doubt .dat ???

If not you need to research why

@chekaz I appreciate that. I was just thinking ahead for a future example where a teller or cashier who’s not familiar with crypto makes a mistake by pushing the wrong button.
I’m not a programmer, just looking at this from a user perspective.

Sounds like an opportunity to implement a new feature to the feather coin wallet or core possibly?

Some sort of check bit based around the feathercoin starting numbers (6 or 7) you mention?

1 minute target block time - This is the average amount of time it takes for transactions happen. Look here for a deeper explanation of block time https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@ghayas/what-does-block-time-mean-in-cryptocurrency

1 minute target block time - This is the average amount of time it takes for a block to be mined and transactions to appear in your wallet.
The software constantly adjusts the mining difficulty to keep this time consistent as mining intensity varies.

@btcseven the first number
There are already over 180 million in circulation
Take a look at coin gecko for price, market cap etc…
