Good guide for someone new in the game, thank you! I’m loving the informative community over here.

$0.07 kwh here in my part of Canada.

But I’m happy to give 2 FTC to any one who has been affected by this malleability issue

Haha, that gave me a good giggle.

Someone needs to hurry up and make FTC/USD available ASAP!

There are a few exchanges that have it available.

Difficulty has risen substantially these past 2 days, price may soon to follow. The sell wall is still there, as everyone can clearly see. Does anybody know if the popularity of feathercoin has increased, or just a random spike in hashrate?

The feathercoin marketplace is a good start

The feathercoin marketplace is a horrible start. It’s basically a place where people are selling useless or old junk (with the odd exception) that nobody wants to buy. I find it hilarious how people keep saying that we need to start using feathercoin as an actual currency and the only place they can point to is that marketplace, which is basically an online garage sale.

As I type this we have dropped to 17th on coinmarketcap below Novacoin, with a price of 13p per FTC. This is very worrying I am afraid, you can gloss over it as much as you like but the facts are right there.

Someone mentioned sustained long-term growth but in the last two months since the price spike it has been pretty steady and sustained contraction. I just hope we do not see anything bad happen that could push this further because I’m not sure what will happen if it goes down too far.

Your best bet is to move on for now and come back if things start moving forward. As much as people defend FTC, there is really nothing that it falls back on. There are extremely high amounts for sale at various exchanges with little to no buy orders to compliment. They can speak as much as they want about where it will be for their “long term growth” but from what you can clearly see as of late, there is nothing to look forward to anytime soon. The fact of the matter is that FTC is slowly falling off at the moment and there is little to no interest in it from any angle, except this “community”.

And keeps going. We are moving forward all the time and evolving the coin its image the infrastructure etc etc. So we are not treading water here. What we want is sustained long term growth not a quick fix pump or boom as every pump has its dump and every boom has its bust.

Don’t rush things. Stay the course we’re in this thing together. Think long and hard about what you personally can do to help the coin the community the image succeed.

Ha. I couldn’t disagree with you more. I see absolutely nothing in terms of moving forward and evolving anything to do with the coin. When compared to other cryptos such as Doge, FTC does basically nothing in this community except for speculate on future price.

Price continues to fall while sell walls increase. There is no demand for Feathercoins anywhere. Millions of FTC are up for sale while only 10’s of thousands are on buy orders.

I see nothing happening in the near future.

I recently began trading on Vault of Satoshi and I find it to be a great exchange. They are extremely fast at verification and coin/fiat deposits and withdrawals compared to other exchanges (ex. BTC-E). I find it unfortunate that their FTC exchange volume is so low, though. I feel like gathering some attention to this exchange with regards to Feathercoins to increase the amount of volume they go through in a 24-hour period, in both bids and ask orders.

What does everyone think about this exchange? They only do crypto to fiat orders or vice-versa. However, it is fast and convenient when I go there to buy/sell my BTC and Doge.

Could someone enlighten me on when the block reward is going to halve and where I find this information myself?
