Forgive me, where do I go to add the -rescan command for the client?

Yes, I consolidated all coins into a new receive wallet on 11/20. 11/29 is when the client was syncing after signing into to my MacBook, everything froze up and would not respond to anything so I had to do a forced shutdown. Started back up and it gave me a corrupt file system message so I went into recovery to restore from the built in recovery partition. Once I was able to boot up and sign in again the feathercoin along with all other installed applications was grayed out in my applications menu. When I clicked on it to launch it gave me an application corrupt message. So, I looked for the location of my wallet.dat file. I found two. One in ~Library/Application Support/Feathercoin/ and one in ~Library/Application Support/Bitcoin (I don’t have a bitcoin client installed)
I saved a copy from both. Then I downloaded and installed the most recent client. The first time it prompted asking if I wanted to keep both or replace. I chose keep both then tried to launch but still got the corrupt error. So I installed again and chose replace. It then would launch and sync. However no coins appeared when it loaded and finished syncing. I then tried copying the backup wallet.dat files to the feathercoin directory and launching the client again. Also with other wallet.dat backups I had on a thumb drive from prior to when I had consolidated wallets. Every wallet.dat file I try shows 0 coins. I did also have the Litecoin client installed which was also corrupt after my OS recovery. I installed the latest from the Litecoin site and launched it, it also gave me a message about my wallet being corrupt but went into a diet of recovery mode and did finally launch with my few Litecoin showing.

I’m pretty sure my coins are history but I’ll ask anyway.
So, I had the feathercoin client running on OSX when it locked up. Hard reboot, OS corrupted so had to do a restore. Got back up and running, the feathercoin client was corrupted. Did a clean install after doing a backup of the wallet.dat file. I did have other backups as well. The issue which I guess I’m just looking for confirmation on: I had consolidated all my FTC to a single new wallet last month. I foolishly did not do a backup after consolidating. When you create a new receive wallet is a new private key “send” wallet also created? I ask because all wallet.dat files I have backed up and tried with the client will sync up and show a zero coin balance. Pretty safe to assume my coins are gone?

Any iOS saavy developers out there? Coin Pocket a wallet for BTC hit thd AppStore yesterday. Here is the open source code:
https://github.com/enriquez/coinpocketapp.com

This one seems pretty decent for BTC, it will be interesting to see if Apple pulls it:

They make you agree that you will not hold Apple liable for any transactions before you send BTC.

That’s enterprise grade right there sir.

Could this receive a highlight on our home page along with a link for miners and pool operators to go to for what their action items are?

They did have the details outlined a bit better before. I know they just did a major site update and changed the format quite a bit so they may still be adding things.

Sorry, I’m slowing replying here.
When you purchase Farm$hares you are getting a 12 month mining contract on his farm which he designed, built and maintains at the listed hashrate. He had mentioned in an announcement early on and I confirmed with him via email that after the 12 months he will present an option to Farmshareowners to continue the contract for the cost of electricity and any replacement hardware that has failed calculated per Farmshare. (Which he said should be fairly inexpensive) With his latest hardware and firmware upgrades I find it to be very reasonable.

This description on his 4X multicoin Farm$hare explain it best I think:

"Farm$hare 4X is a virtual product which grants the owner a part of the Multicoin Farm production equivalent to 164KH/s.

They are based on boards with Cyclone chips.

Farm$hares can be transferred between ltcgear.com users using form at the right side. Transfer form becomes visible once F$ balance becomes positive.

1 Farm$hare 4X Multicoin will pay weekly equivalent of 164KH/s miner (scrypt algorithm for the moment). The coin to be mined is selected for each upcoming week via "My Account” page (LTC and FTC for the moment).

Each one and a half month shares get their kHs multiplied by 1.35. Last multiplication happened Monday 24 March 2014. Next multiplication will take place on May 8."

100% of my 1.4MH/s rig is on FTC @GMC as well. Plus another 600KH/s in my LTCGear Farmshares are mining FTC.

I like SuperScrypt too. It makes everything else seem inferior.

I have now had Farm$hares with LtcGear since 3/05. I have received my expected LTC and FTC payouts as scheduled each week. (was LTC the first week until FTC was available) I have always received a reply back for any questions within a day or two at most, often much faster. I am very pleased with the service and have no trouble recommending them.

1 and 2 sound interesting. What RSS sources will you be tied into?

I may be interested in helping out with community though I would like more details about what it entails.

Regarding Technical Development, has adaptive N factor been looked into or considered as a replacement for ACP like what Vertcoin has done?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=404364.0

I have some farmshares with LtcGear which are now mining FTC thanks to the owner now adding FTC as an available coin to mine on a limited basis. I will be posting my review after a week or two.

That would be great. Representation from the Feathercoin community there is long overdue.

Crypto.st is taking bids for theirs now.
I got this message from them on 2/12/14.

“In the final phases of the shut down, we are putting ourselves up for sale. Everything - the source code, the database, the domain name, the twitter handle. So if you think you have what it takes to run an exchange (or think you can do a better job at running this one), put in your bid. All sales will be in BTC only. If interest, please reply to me with your bid. Any questions that you may have, I’ll be happy to answer as well. Oh, and if you haven’t yet withdrawn your funds, please do so now.”

The where to buy link on the home page of the mobile site is dead. It just opens a cloud flare page not found. This was on iOS.
The click here in the paragraph, not the top button.

"Where to buy?

Once you’ve got yourself a wallet for storing your feathercoin, you can register an exchange and start filling up your wallet with feathercoins of your own. Click here for information on buying feathercoin."

Anyone know of anything like this being created for Feathercoin?
