problem fixed I had to add nodes for the ip address.

Hi I have the feather coin program downloaded onto my pc, its a windows 8 machine with Norton antivirus. I also have the program on a vista laptop, the laptop connects feathercoin to the network with no problems, so this problem is with this specific machine and not my internet connection or router.

The problem is with the windows 8 pc. It looks like I have a setting switched on that is preventing the wallet accessing the internet.

Things I have done so far.

Disabled everything I can in Norton security, this includes things like the firewall. I have also disabled the windows firewall, and also told windows to allow feathercoin to work through the firewall. Still no connection.

Is there a guide to connecting the wallet to the net, I cannot find much info other than the very basics.

Hi I run a Thermwood C53 3 axis cnc router and I am offering my services in exchange for Feather or Bitcoin.

Bed size is 3 meters by 1.5 meter. Mainly used for profiling mdf and plywood sheets into shapes and signs. I have also recently been 3d carving model boats out of foam about 1.2m long.

Contact me for more info. Though it might be fun to produce a real physical product in exchange for crypto.

This is my website.

If the free market you so espouse chooses either BTC or FTC as the standard - and you do not adapt with the free market, then you are simply being an idiot. No one forces you to do anything - but not adapting to market expectations is BAD BUSINESS.[/quote]

I do not see what is so confusing to be honest. You have basicly just repeated what I have just said in your own words?

No Im not a communist, a true capitalist free market society with minimal goverment would be my preffered choice in UK and I have nothing against the rich. I only have a problem with bitcoin and feather coin [b]if[/b] in the future I am forced to partake in selling my products for these coins because the free market has choosen them as a viable method of wealth transfer. If I choose not to use them I would be failing to adapt, and hurting my bussiness in return. I would feel like I am being forced to take part in something I thought was rigged, I mean you guys are freely admiting you are hoarding to profit.

Anyway this thread is going off track, it appears the answer is to the question is [b]suck it life aint fair[/b]

Lets see where crypto goes in the next few months, hopefully in the trash so the 99.9999% of us that don’t hold any can build a better system.

Yes that was what I was trying to say, and I accept I could be wrong on that. However whether the first miners be 1,3,5 or 100,000 its still only a small % of potential coin users that were made privy to the info of a new coin and started mining from the start with a distinct advantage. How can you argue that this is fair?

Im not saying this is unique to feather or any other coin. But you can’t deny that the system is rigged and from the outside looking in it looks no fairer than Fiat. Wasn’t the whole point of the crypto revolution to make money fair and take the power away from the banks. It might be taking power away from the banks but it is not a fair system from the outset.

[quote]Exactly…lol[/quote]

Quote of the month, sound like a right bunch of bankers

I disagree that in a fair by the people for the people currency early adoptors [b]should[/b] get a premium or addtional coins. Just because a system of mining was used for alt/bitcoins does not mean a perfect currency should do it this way. Wasn’t feathecoin mined for months during a ‘testing phase’ by the developers?

I was told it was a sure bet by this guy who knows computers.

You might have given me a 0.1 bit coin to mow your grass last year and I might have taken it. If I knew what the price was now I would have def taken it but would you have given it to me if you knew the same?

If for some reason Bitcoin became the standard world currency, would you feel content in the knowledge someone has mined enough coins early on to buy a small country (and by mining I mean leaving their computer on overnight for a few weeks). Or your next door neighbour bought his house by buying one bitcoin on ebay five years ago but you had to work for the rest of your life to have the same? Everyone who holds coins is super positive about crypto, but in all honesty those that don’t are thinking what a crock of Sh!t this would be if it takes off. I feel no more love for crypto than I do about fiat, its a shame because it could be so much better.

Look at the volumes of actual bitcoins traded for goods and services

[quote]Trillions of Fiat dollars exist in currencies. Around our world.
Interestingly some people think that crypto currencies, since they are not a hold in your hand currency,
is somehow risky.[/quote]

Money is just tokens for things of value, like work from another human or a new playstation. We are buying into the system some aware there is no gold other are oblivious but it doesn’t really matter at the end of the day as long as the dude who cuts your grass or fixes your teeth accepts your notes and coins in the knowledge he can trade them for something else. Its trust that you know in the back of your mind you can without doubt use the money you have to get what you need. We don’t have anything like that trust and belief in crypto.

[quote]So, the crypto currencies, having a finite number that can be generated, is far superior to the fiat just on that basis alone.[/quote]

I think you are wrong about this, in a functioning econmony we need inflation. Its what drives things on. Also just look at the amount of new crypto currency popping up every day, if bitcoin is the one true coin limited currency does that mean feathercoin and all others are defunct? Without inflation how do the coins get distrubuted. What happens to those with non and ‘useless fiat’ do they become modern slaves? Bitcoin is an experiment there is still much work to be done if this is going to work.

Why are you selling Feathercoin is going to $1000 dollars easy before the new years, that $70,000 dollars your thowing away 8)

How can we make Crypto currency fair?

Ok Bitcoin is skyrocketing and everyone is panicking thinking their going to miss the boat. Big Dave who lives down the road who has been mining for the last 3 years is going to by up the town and make everyone homeless so he can build a nuclear plant to power his monster mining rig.

Coin distrubution is everything, what we need is a consistant way of generating coins that can be tied to something tangible like work. The bitcoin mining system is being abused by speculators and this is undermining the core values of a currency for the people. A larger % of the coins are now in the hands of those the system was set up to overthrow or cut out of the loop. I also don’t think the people will get behind a currency that has over 50% of its coins distrubuted to early adoptors, I don’t know the % but I assume it is small.

What I would like to see in a better Crypto.

1. A steady supply of coins - This should prevent hoarding (Is inflation always a bad thing)
2. A better way of generating coins, dare I say it a central back that converts fiat into coins at a set price?

What do you think? Is the bitcoin model perfect and fair for all just like it set out to be?
