Awesome sauce.

By the way Pete and Ruthie, your kids appear to have grown up rather suddenly [re: photo from the Dahms Winery]. ;)

Do we have any third-party blogs not FTC centric in our rolodex?
Someone posted something here on a blog with crypto in the name…

I think it was the writer/owner. Also, do we have a list of journos/bloggers that have done interviews/pieces in the past? I know coindesk was one. It’d be good to keep them in the loop on new progress.

My understanding is that once proceedings against Ulbright are finished, they will sell the Bitcoins at whatever price.

And since they’re not so smart, it’s either going to be a public dump, or an auction that’ll go to some very rich individual.

I concur - this would open up a ton of wonderful, flexible uses for Feathercoin wallets.

Zero - can you explain this in layman’s terms?

Let’s say I have 500 LTC I want to trade for FTC. How do I do it? How do I set up a “sell” order? How is it verified? Is this even within these normal bounds of exchanges? Also - let me know if you need help with anything [logo + graphical].

Finally - Merry Christmas!

I bought two Furys with your referral link Tuck - just to watch the prices drop almost 50% a few weeks later. OneMiners keeps emailing me to buy more stuff too - with some pretty nice looking deals. But I’m a hold off.

ASICS make a lot of sense - so quiet, so much less heat, so much more hashing power. Slowly pugging away on getting their ROI back. We’ll see if it ever happens. I actually don’t think GPU mining is both economically and environmentally worth it.

I’m using BGMiner - going to try and use the 333 setting to see if I can get things up. Anyone here try tweaking with the voltage?

Another thing I wanted to run by those on here that actually might know, but - isn’t it possible to use ASICS as powerful cracking machines?

+1 to Ghostlander’s idea. I think we should discuss things as openly as possible. Always have.

Still here!

You say this isn’t a debate. Well, you are here to convince everyone that your project is the way to go. If you fail here, everything else is futile and irrelevant. Let’s cut the [profanity] and get straight to your code and business plan. If you have none so far, the whole affair is a waste of time.

I’m glad I’m not going insane with the logic warping going on here. Putin would be proud.

Hey Kevlar, I know it’s nice to feel superior to everyone - but once in a while it’s also good to do a bit of double-checking on what it is you’re actually saying.

Cheers Mate!

Well at least we agree on the same thing. When I say consensus, I mean adoption, because it’s pretty interchangeable when it comes to crypto. You’re absolutely right - you can do whatever you want and the market decides.

But I disagree with you about the brand consensus - if Mirrax is correct in the patent comment, you have some big issues.

The other issue is that as a community, we do have power when it comes to the brand - in ways you may not even imagine.

Your final sentence makes zero sense to me. Why discuss an ICO if you’re apparently not doing anything? I am seriously confused.

We’re discussing an idea for the future of Feathercoin.

Just wanted to add - because of what you are discussing - I, and everyone else on this forum, has the right to give their opinion on it. Which basically means - just so we’re clear - that as long as FTC is attached to your ideas in any way, shape or form, I do have say. As for what those ideas are outside of an FTC bubble - my opinions don’t matter - as you said. You are free to fork the coin and start KevlarCoin, have a KevlarCoin ICO, and try to build it from the ground up. And don’t worry - I won’t be part of the decision making process because I have no interest in it.

But as long as the FTC “brand” is attached to it, I can say whatever I want on here. And elsewhere. Because you will still need a consensus on the changes/new blockchain. And that’s an uphill battle you will have to take.

I’d love to hear your solution - and I also want to hear what you think the problems are. That’s all. No need to wrangle my words to try and make it seem like I’ve any weight on this issue in any way, because I think it’s apparent that that isn’t the case.

I’m also curious to know your plan for the ICO. What will the corporation be called? What state/country are you thinking of registering it? Who will sit on its board? Would love a prospectus too. Do you guys have underwriters retained? Legal counsel?

Yup - ICO = IPO.

Kevlar, you’re editing your posts to add new information after I’ve replied. Which makes things confusing. The final link you provided is a good start at basic explanations but still doesn’t really explain what exactly it is you guys are planning. I know it’s really clear in your head, and sometimes it’s hard to get it out - but you’re just going to have to listen to me when I say that I actually, honestly, really still don’t know what exactly it is you guys are thinking. I don’t think it’s a me problem - I think it’s a you problem.

LOL

Dude, are you serious? You link to posts literally saying nothing other than that it’s been said, when it hasn’t. NOT ONLY THAT, your last link is for a post you made where you essentially claim no changes to FTC are being thought of [which is partially true, but semantical in nature] and that you believe the community isn’t important. I want you to scroll up on this page and take a look at the TOPIC TITLE and then tell me again what it is we’re discussing.

I’m really glad you gave me that amazing breakdown of your qualifications for an ICO - but an IPO, and ICO are two VERY different things. Kickstarter/IndieGoGo is not the same as an IPO or an ICO. Why? Well, the reason is because donors do not gain share in any of the crowdfunding projects. This is how Kickstarter and similar sites can continue to function outside of regulatory framework [for now]. ICO’s are different than IPO’s primarily because they are not regulated, and hence often end up falling into a legal grey area. The “shares” are also not clearly defined, but I can see regulators seeing tokens/coins/shares of currency as essentially being the same as traditional shares. This is a new concept that hasn’t been clarified yet - but for heaven’s sake Kevlar, don’t [removed profanity] belittle me with your bullshit.

Finally, you must have missed the point of the plan entirely.

There is no plan. Please stop with the trolling.

Which is it dude? Is there a plan? Is there no plan? What the hell are we even talking about?!

I am calling for real plan and detailed information all the way. Yet I am beiing repeatedly tagged as idiot who dont listen and also as pathologic liar…

Hence my curt attitude. So far, all I’ve really seen is what an ICO can do - four reasons - without an actual plan, and a bunch of fairly forceful language on how the proposed ideas are the right direction to move in without the actual reasoning behind it being clearly and concisely explained. So far my attempts at getting an actual detailed answer to my questions is answered with insulting calls for me to read the same unclear reasoning. There’s no need to insult my intelligence, or reading comprehension. Maybe it’s time to re-think the way in which things are talked about, and maybe see that the explanations given thus far aren’t explanations at all.

I’m not pro or con any specific thing until I get an idea of what exactly it is that’s being proposed and **WHY - HOW - WHEN. **Until we get something that resembles and actual plan of action, especially the ICO, none of the insults being thrown around are worth their weight. And I’m not speaking of you. I am clearly speaking about anyone who insults intelligence on here and calls people liars and bad actors when they themselves have failed to provide the right information.

I’m really sad to see where this community has gone to.
