Thanks for the responses. But to my last question of the topic: Do you think it makes sense already to ask the shops in which one buys or is it too early? That question is maybe a little stupid because that won’t hurt to ask. But on the other hand I read some posts that FTC needs some time before getting known. For instance could a rush on FTC lead to very unstable prices and therefore decreasing trust in Feathercoin. What you think?

If I’m understanding correctly, you’re asking, “Do you think it makes sense to ask merchants to accept payment in FTC, or is it too early?”. I don’t see what it could hurt in asking, as long as you are being up front and honest in the information you’re giving out. I feel that, if the merchant feels confident in where the coin is headed, is educated in how the process works, and realizes that there will be a great deal of price volatility, they can come to their own conclusion on what to do. The problem I see with merchants is, they have a business to run. Sometimes they have some pretty tight margins and accepting FTC, while it could be great for them long term, might run them out of business short term.

^This. And also, FTC started in April THIS year where BTC started in 2009. There’s no need for hasty decisions or worries about FTC staying far from the big guys. If ‘‘we’’ keep our faith into the coin itself it will just be a matter of time (but not short term) other people trust the FTC as well.
