I am glad that I did not sell the few hundred I have mined :) I only sold some BTC to cover my power cost

I read about Feathercoin on the bitcoin forum a while ago and decided to start up a client node - which runs 24/7 since then and got its upgrade quickly when the fork was announced.

In the beginning I mined some FTC in a pool and then had a lucky day - the pool had technical problems, I decided to switch to solo mining and found a block (my first and only to date) within less than a day.

Browsing this forum became a regular routine and I am very impressed by the good spirit of the community. With the difficulty rising to 188 I had to revert to BTC mining to cover my electricity bill but decided to help with my 1200 kHash/s in the run to block 33000.

I still have to mine BTC for at least 12 hours a day to cover power cost so I switch my miner to FTC when I go to bed and back to BTC in the morning before I go to work. Maybe after the next step of difficulty I can afford to leave all my hash power on this chain.

Cheers to all and keep up the good work in the community !
