very nice and great work

You might agree with ghostlander, but nowhere has what he said been proposed. There is a reluctance to accept FTC, that’s true, and there are also well debated reasons why. There is reasoning behind not accepting FTC in a hypothetical initial share offering. Our current FTC tokens are hard to value as there’s little to prevent manipulation, a small whale could move the price for his/her gain, there’s no volume. If you want fair delegates, the net needs casting a little wider, as the gene pool here is ever shrinking and hasn’t seen a replacement in it’s numbers, we need fresh blood, coders and service providers , else the delegate system just won’t work. You can’t exchange and value all coins, but all coins are valued against BTC. BTC is still the mother currency. Pegging a (currently hypothetical) ICO against BTC makes sense if you look at from the point of view of hitting the largest possible market. You got doge? Convert to BTC. Got fiat? Convert to BTC.

Are you are hoping that by accepting FTC there will be a rush to buy up FTC to burn to shares and you can profit from the whales manipulating the market? How will that help to establish a fair value for the newly created shares? The very same shares that are to be the incentive to attract new coders et al to run as delegates and help us move Feathercoin forward. It’s critical to the whole delegate system! You’d be running as a delegate right? Since mining isn’t profitable, only the shovel sellers and the energy companies are benefiting from the teams hard work.

We’ve lost great people in the past, people who could now run as delegates and be fairly rewarded for their time sacrifice. No more begging for tips. We won’t have to lose another ChrisJ or see services dry up. We could even look to speed up and secure (no 51% attacks and ACP!) BC1 using the PoW done by the delegates. That’s also a possibility. But you need a strong and healthy delegate system for that to work.

Or are you are saying is that you deserve an upgrade path? But that only makes sense if BC1 is being replaced, there is no way to provide the extra features we need to become relevant again without a complimentary blockchain. FTC is very good at providing cash like tokens, you won’t be using ‘shares’ to buy goods online, they are two different things.

I’m not against the idea of a really small percentage welcome share bundle dropping on FTC addresses, I think that’s something we could debate the merits of. I am against 1-1 swapping of FTC/FTCShares, as it runs the risk for devaluing and breaking the delegates reward system, making it all pointless.

Or is the argument that you want your tokens all on one blockchain? Feathercoin must only have one BC? You could do that to, that’s a possibility, you could have FTC destroyed on BC1 and recreated as counter party tokens and again enjoy the benefits of the faster blockchain and the stronger security models without ACP and the risk of 51% attacks.

What’s the argument for not doing it?

So please quit pretending that the proposed ideas are not for the greater future of Feathercoin, because quite honestly, without this sort of crazy idea, we will just fade into insignificance and lose more members to a wasteful and broken incentive scheme. :'(

well said

because it has value in name already, isnt it obvious?

but don’t you think it could also bring extra value to the ftc,

If anyone wants to dump feathercoins ,Now’s the time. Cryptsy or Bittrex

why

well it could beneficial to FTC

and maybe its time to have new FTC team willing to propose real change…constructive one

and kevlar as been around for a very long time and very helpful at many occasion especially

during the Shane @scryptcloud scam.

well that what they are trying to do and it would be better if we all add constructive

feed back to the discussion so it evolve

thanks for the explanations, and all the best for this project,

ok i got my answer thank

i am lost in between the fight you are having and trying to understand

what are the changes you want to make to FTC

try to stop the figthing and construct find a consensus if you beleive in FTC

and after explain it to the rest of us if you consider the

community as an important part of the process

I am not a coder nor a miner i am just holding a few FTC, because i like the idea and the community who was behind it and hope still behind it, i continue to buy from time to time some ftc, so what would happen to them if a new Blockchain is being created…

So does corporate mean a company/business or do they allow coins to join under the tier?

If it’s the later we are still only talking £200 / year as we have been operating for less than 2 years. I’m sure the community as a whole can see the benefits of being part of something like this so maybe it should be stuck up for crowd funding.

Maybe if we raise the funds we should have a vote on who represents us?

yes it would be great.

thanks for the news letter, always great to read
