It would be nice but we got 51% again a short while ago. Until they stop for a looong period of time, i think we’re stuck at 100 confirms.

Oh, I didn’t know about that. When did it happen?
Friggin idiots ruining it for the rest of us!!
I believe BTC-e raised the requirement to 100 after the 51% attacks a while back but now that everything is running smoothly, maybe one of the Feathercoin devs who’s dealt with BTC-e in the past can petition to have it lowered? 100 confirmations is really annoying - you have to wait half a day before you have access to your FTC.
Every single organization on the subpoena list is based out of the US.
At this point it’s obvious that if your business has anything to do with cryptocurrencies and has physical ties to the US then you are just asking for trouble.

The result was this.
Some people liked it.
Some people hated it.
Only real way to clear it up is to test it.

I believe the number of people for Zerocoin far outweighed the number of people against it.
Can’t wait for the test! ;D

While I certainly don’t think Bitcoin is dead, I see FTC hitting $1 well before BTC approaches $1000.
If FTC adopts Zerocoin, then I think $1 will just be a short pit stop on the rocket ship to the moon.

Good point, what happened to the thoughts about adopting zerocoin??

I believe the overwhelming consensus was “YES, please add Zerocoin!” and the devs are indeed looking into it with the hopes of integrating it into Feathercoin in the future.

[b]So let’s recap:[/b]
Feather’s value -> Up Up Up
Phenix/World -> If you’re not invested, you lost nothing. If you did invest, I’m working hard to increase it.
This is exactly why you don’t see much of me around the forums anymore. I’m focused on adding value, some are focused on the exact opposite.

Your hard work is much appreciated Justabitoftime! Thank you!
Maybe due to the Fontas NMC pump that’s going on now LOL
I just came across a great article by Jon Matonis on this subject:

It is obvious to me that at this stage of development of Feathercoin, with the money laundering attacks on Bitcoin and its exchanges, it is naive to believe that implementing zerocoin won’t be taken as pandering to the criminal fraternity?

Not necessarily - adding Zerocoin would be the equivalent of having a mixer built right into the Feathercoin client. Blockchain.info, the most popular online wallet, already offers this service but for a 0.5% fee! They are a legit company and are operating legally.
I think the way it will be promoted is extremely important. For example, recently a new drug site called Atlantis started up and they released a You Tube promotion video where they cheerfully explained how easy it is to get “dank bud” using their new site. I think thumbing your nose at the law like this is never a good idea.
Simply stating that the cryptocurrency is now “100% anonymous” would be just fine (and legal).
