20 seconds of your time can make huge impact.

20 minutes spent impacting.

Is commenting on daily price swings good taste?

If our development technology can progress, we will exist for a long time.Perhaps we need a strong leader or careerist, Actually, Money, it wasn’t a problem at all.

I believe that your mechanized translator wanted to say “professional” rather than “careerist”.

I was really just saying that at this given point in time, we should not be using ftc as money.

Indeed, because the decision to buy a good with feathercoin is tied with the investment decision. Consider the BTC pizzas. We will have to come up with a way for the buyers to decouple the buy from divesting FTCs. I am trying to come up with such way, which would be similar to the way call options work.

Great job, mirrax.

I’m just a guy at a keyboard but I really think paying in BTC has proven it gets the job done. Who here would be willing to sacrifice the equivalent of $700 USD worth of ftc to get a GPU miner for Neo developed? Certainly not me as thats all the ftc I hold… and It cost me alot more than $700 USD to acquire it.

One thing is true, that now it is not time to get rid of one’s FTC. But we’ll have to take care of the volatility to make people more willing to use it as money, which is it’s intended use. Right now, it’s an investment asset.

_Dear David Cox,

I’m sorry for disturbing you in your duties. Please note that this is not a mass mail, nor a very systematic effort. I personally wrote to a small number of technological, agricultural, and cultural value creators (such as Tomasz Lem, son of Stanislaw Lem who runs an online community dedicated to his father’s formidable legacy) on behalf of Feathercoin community, because it is now our time to be contacting prominent members of public to participate early in our network.

Just quickly about us: Feathercoin is a no. 3 decentralized currency (after Bitcoin and Litecoin) and no. 1 decentralized currency with accountable BDFL, Peter Bushnell from Oxford University.

The reason why I think I owe you this invitation, which is at the same time a letter of gratitude featured on our publicly accessible forums, is for your work as a film critic, particularly your review of Quentin Tarantino’s film Inglourious Basterds (2009). I include the link to it here for the benefit of our forum readers:

http://www.theguardian.com/film/filmblog/2009/aug/20/inglourious-basterds-tarantino-change-history

To be completely honest, I would be even happier if I had the courage to invite the Maestro himself. Since I don’t, I am inviting you somewhat as a proxy, a plot-essential film critic with proven understanding of Maestro’s masterpieces.

Our invitations (which you can see on our website, www.feathercoin.com) are small in numbers and have, somewhat understandably, low response rate. We won’t feel surprised or offended if you leave this message unanswered. Regretfully, there is not much we can offer to you. To Tomasz Lem, I offered a small donation and suggested him to enable Feathercoin donations on his website (www.lem.pl). To you, I am unable to find an appropriate sum to offer. I will also not (as I might) tell you “buy Feathercoin, it’s gonna be expensive next year”. I leave it up to your intelligence and goodwill to consider joining us, or at least dropping a line or two on our forums. Technical details aside, decentralized currencies are a serious matter deserving everyone’s attention. We will gladly help you with any inquiries or technical issues you might have with respect to the mentioned topics.

Lets just pretend he never made this post ;)

Oh dear that’s not great I suppose not everyone thinks crypto is the future. :/

+1, he didn’t appreciate the Ponzi joke :)

It is, sign message, post to the forum with your account and everyone can verify that you are the owner of the private key :)

That still doesn’t prove that you is you, though :)

Sorry for late reply.

That’s OK, I understand that you are busy. The idea is to get more users to use the great infrastructure you have already created, and get us a focal spot where we could catch fire isolated from the wild oscillations of the free market. I will send you the details.

Using white addresses I suppose, could easily be exploited.

Nope, I think I’ve got it right this time. No relaunch. Just a strictly voluntary white club. I’m working on the newsletter article now, but and afterwards, to cryptonite we go.

Value manipulation is one of the qualities of fiat were are trying to get away from.

+1. I now desist from my earlier instamine proposal. General FTC network should remain anonymous and decentralized (free market). I’m sure that hard work and dedication will prevail, as Calem said. But that also means we have no way to conjure up 3M coins for any purpose. We have to buy them or mine them.

How would you prove holdings though?

Using white market infrastructure. Karpeles once did the proof of Gox holdings by making an ultra large transfer of bitcoins afaik, but for medium amounts, there is no way to prove holdings unless you have a white wallet.

Larry Baum gave a friendly reply, citing time pressure as the reason why he discontinued Human News.

My letter to RationalWiki received a negative reply. However, the webmaster did visit our forum and is welcome to join the discussion here.

Dear Tomasz,

_the situation in our Feathercoin community came to resemble so much that of Ijon Tichy on his Seventh Voyage, that I feel that providence itself is bidding me to invite you to our community.

Jokes aside, Feathercoin is a no. 3 decentralized currency after Bitcoin and Litecoin, and no. 1 decentralized currency with an accountable BDFL – Peter Bushnell, IT officer at Brasenose College, Oxford. We could say that Feathercoin is 3 years behind Bitcoin in price, adoption as well as inflation schedule (52 million coins out of 332 total is out atm.) There will not be an infinite number of successful decentralized currencies, and we cannot be sure how successful Feathercoin will be, but we are sure that at the moment, it is greatly underpriced. For that reason, it is our time now to invite value creators to participate in our attempt to pull ourselves away from the legalized theft, which is fractional-reserve banking, as practiced in the recent decades. Your father is recognized as an excellent value creator with propensity towards industrial manufacturing, as well as unparalleled cultural and evolutionary awareness that few contemporary philosophers / futures scientists can match.

I am hereby inviting you to our community at www.feathercoin.com. Should you decide to enable Feathercoin donations to your website, I also have an inaugural donation of 1000 FTC prepared for you. Since this is an open letter which will itself be posted in our forums, I provide the link to your site for the benefit of our readers:

Finally, let me say that Feathercoin offers opportunities, but also requires work to be done for its optimum impact on our common future. As Albert Speer Jr. said, there is time when people get tired of being treated as a son of somebody else. Given the immense scientific contribution of your father, a futures scientist publishing under the guise of fiction, you had a daunting duty to ensure the optimum impact of your father’s work on our common future. I am sure that you have a creative genius of your own, and I am presenting you the possibility of participation in Feathercoin community as a way of employing it in an interesting project, or perhaps just a way of enjoying the prophetic power of the Star Diaries.
