Hi Nils :)
Good to see you here.

@everyone: Please update your Electrum Client to Release 3.1.3.1.

It fixes a critical problem with how difficulty adjustment algo is handled.

The Electrum-FTC 3.1 version is out!

That means our Electrum Feathercoin wallet has now the latest features from the (Bitcoin) Electrum wallet.

We are very happy with the great work ThomasV and his team did with Electrum and are actively contributing through our developers to improve Electrum (see https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/pull/4408 https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/pull/4427 https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/pull/4371 https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/pull/4308 https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/pull/4149 etc etc). More to come!

@rogerdarin said in [ANN] BTCPay gets FTC support (self-hosted Payment processor):

In case you want to set BTCPay Server up, there are two great tutorials on the project’s website: https://btcpay-server-testnet.azurewebsites.net

I just set one up to test yesterday and it was really very easy (with the Docker-Compose).
It will be also very easy with FTC once @ChekaZ has his Docker image finished.

Then it’s a few command line calls to setup a BTCPay server with BTC, LTC and FTC :)

Other suggestions:

Remove the shoutbox - we rather have one channel less if there isn’t enough traffic for it. Forward people to Telegram or let them ask directly in the forum instead.

Remove very old pinned topics such as https://forum.feathercoin.com/topic/8010/welcome-to-the-new-forum https://forum.feathercoin.com/topic/8395/fsight-feathercoin-block-explorer-api https://forum.feathercoin.com/topic/8904/dev-website-maintenance-design-github etc.

Unfortunately since wrapper hasn’t been active lately the forum has lost quite a bit of steam.
I suggest to reduce the number of sub-boards in this forum. It would make the forum easier to navigate and less dead.
If the forum gets very big we can still add new sub-boards.

In particular I’d delete or move the following sub-topics:

Polls (0 topics) -> delete
Other Altcoins (3 months ago) - Make it a Subcategory of Off-Topic
General Category (4 months ago) -> all content can also go into Off-Topic or Feathercoin Discussion. Move current content to Off-Topic.
Community Groups (2 years ago) - delete
Crowd Sourcing (5 months ago) - topics can be a part of Projects instead
Suggestion Box (5 months ago) -> Make it a subcategory of Projects. Other things can go into Feathercoin Discussion or off-topic.

Alternatively we can also do it in a similar structure as Bitcointalk does it - everyone is already familiar with that.

BTCPay, the open source payment processor software, gets support for Feathercoin thanks to @ChekaZ !

What this means in practice:

• Merchants can now easily accept FTC themselves, being fully independent
• Payment processors, brokers and exchanges can just use BTCPay and offer that as a service for companies that want to accept FTC (as well as BTC, LTC)
• As soon as we have Lightning ported for Feathercoin we get instant Lightning support ootb for merchants thanks to BTCPay !

Thanks again for @ChekaZ for doing all the implementation work.

We are currently preparing the next release of Electrum-FTC (3.1) with a lot of bug-fixes from upstream.

@peschu very nice. Thanks for supporting the network, providing more choice and making Feathercoin more decentralized with that :)

Nice! Thanks for the guide.

I already see one more new ElectrumX server in my client: electrumx-us-1.realbotlife.com

I guess it’s from @peschu ? :)

Hi @peschu and welcome to FTC! :)

Great to hear that you want to run an ElectrumX server. More choice for servers is important. ElectrumX is the backend of Electrum-FTC AND the mobile wallet Edge, therefore very critical for us.

Looking forward to see your contributions. More guides would indeed be very good.

Nice! :))

Looking forward to see majority of the network running on 0.16 soon

For Electrum-FTC we don’t change each languages translation but instead made a simple commit that just changes ‘Bitcoin’ to ‘Feathercoin’ on the fly: https://github.com/Feathercoin-Foundation/electrum-ftc/commit/e0da1a61bd8cc3c7efbe6c945c68260026eb8d3a

Maybe something like this would also work for Feathercoin Core.

Looking forward to get some feedback from everyone! :)

You can buy a Bitbox hardware wallet here: https://shiftcrypto.ch/ (or through a reseller: https://shiftcrypto.ch/resellers).

More hardware wallets will follow.

Very happy to have Edge as a new Android and iOS wallet! :))

More to come ;)

Exciting! I’m very much looking forward to 0.16 and the new Bech32 addresses!

We will also have them in the next Electrum-Wallet release. Hopefully exchanges and mining pools will also update to 0.16 fast so most transactions on the FTC blockchain will be going to Bech32 addresses :)

@AcidD do you have any plans to update it to 0.13 or even 0.16?

Would be great to have a blockexplorer that can handle the coming Bech32 addresses.

The sticker looks great on my notebook! :)

There is not much time left if someone wants to get his server listed in the first non-beta release… :)
