I wrote in to my computer magazine (Computer Shopper) about Bitcoins and Feathercoins and I got star letter.
Computer Shopper is quite a popular magazine so hopefully this will bring some more people to our community!
Next month they are doing an article of Bitcoins so hopefully they will include a reference to Feathercoins as well!
Attached is a picture of the letter and the email I sent as proof.

Number 2 & 3 (makes sense to put in one post)

There’s my guiminer-scrypt settings. I find the interface more helpful to use than cgminer which gets annoying when I want to stop mining for just a short time.
I’ve had to restart the miner (and pc) a few times since I started mining so the accepted shares aren’t as high as they should be but I think its enough proof to show I’ve been mining for 200hrs =)
Number 1.
Here’s my ‘rig’. Not exactly a great setup but it’s the best I can get.
I have, in my pc:
Sapphire 7770 Radeon
Intel i5-3550
2x1TB WD Black Hard Drives
8GB Ram
Asrock Extreme4 Z77 Mobo
4xDVD writers (used for ripping cds :P )
500w Silverstone Strider PSU (hoping to upgrade soon)
Cooler Master Elite 355u or something
The computer is also used so mining does not run continuously. However I managed to get the 7770 cheap at £85 with a free gaming mouse so it was quite a good deal. I get about 150kh/s. The stock clocks are 1000mhz on the core and 1125mhz on the memory but I’ve changed those to 965mhz and 1360mhz to get a good ratio for mining.
I could probably push the card further but I don’t want to stress my PSU to badly as its only a cheap model and I’m not sure it could handle a larger overclock, really. I’d also love to get a better graphics card but again the PSU is the bottleneck. When I’ve upgraded that to an 800w model I’m hoping to get a 6950 or 6970 as they are rather cheap (around £100 if you can get a good deal on eBay) and are still good and capable for mining. I’ve already got about 120 FTC (I know its not much but I’m happy with it) from mining and are getting around 5-6 more coins per day.
Sure. Let me know if you need help with testing, I’m on android.
That would make sense. It is Java so I’ll try launching it with a different garbage collector.
The weird thing is I can run the game and mine at the same time. This doesn’t happen with Bitcoin but scrypt is fairly memory intensive so that’d make sense.
