@Moonman I think your name will be appropriate for FTC over the next few days

Gotta love OG coins that manage to stay the test of time… even though we might be at a relative low point in community activity FTC manages to run smooth every single day… and if it doesn’t the community sparks back up again to get it fixed quick.

As far as how nice people tend to be in the crypto community, I have never found a better set of individuals than with the FTC community, everyone is genuinely friendly and helpful.

As many know, I am always here and never stop lurking and prepping for the next mining season.

Still here always lurking…

@AmDD You da man

I can see positives from addressing ‘transaction malleability’ but outside of that FTC does not really have block size issues like BTC. Lightning network is cool for speed improvements, however, FTC is already far far far faster than LTC or BTC its what this coin was built around. my 2 cents…

$2700/btc seems like the community is behind it

@Wmcgirr If you follow FTCs history, we are not a typical crowd of follow the new latest technology hype. Instead of just using a common ASIC resistant algorithm after scrypt was taken over by asics we built our own solution, NeoScrypt. Prior to that we built the advanced checkpoint system as well as our own difficulty scaling solution. If there is a need for changes we will get it done, Sigwit is to 2017 as the DAO was to 2016, new tech hype…

Its all manipulation by one large seller on bittrex it seems. Any large sell walls are eaten nearly daily almost all at once. Once we stabilize through the manipulation we will start rising slowly. If you want to buy into FTC this is your opportunity to invest a lot while its low it seems!

Getting ready for another winter here, did some $s to find out how much I was spending last year.

I ran my house on oil for a few months last year, extrapolating the data here were the results:

$750 in oil for just hot water per year
est. $1100 in oil for heating per year

$400/month in electric for miners
$1000/month income in ETH/BTC/FTC

I only run miners for heat so approx 6 months out of the year

After 1 year no mining - $1850 spent

After 1 year with mining - $2850 earned

Which comes out to $4700 more in my pocket at the end of the year

If you are building a FTC Linux distro, would you mind also adding FTC mining?

@Loyal2FTC said in Too many traders, not enough enthusiasts:

Bunch o’ pussies taking piss-ant profits at 3000 sats driving the price down because they don’t give two F**@# about this coin. They probably don’t even know much about it. It’s history, technical stability, transaction capacity, reliability, developments over time, enthusiastic grass-roots community etc.

I am willing to trade a small portion of my coins but far beyond where it trades today. I’m talking 30,000 sats +. I have a long term view.

If you care about this coin and are actively trading it, don’t take small profits because you fear the price dropping. You are contributing to the drop. Ask yourself what the coin is truly worth and aim for that. Be patient and the trade will come. I have increased my coin holding 10 fold using this approach over several years.

If everybody had this mindset, the coin would be valued correctly. Think about it…

Cheers.

hahah welcome to crypto, its the day traders/bots, watch the trend though it going up with down cycles between each peak

Let the chaos begin!

Market pressure building again, lets see what happens

P2Pool mining for FTC is the best way

One Rebate: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131687&ignorebbr=1

Open Box: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131687R&ignorebbr=1

$170 for a 380x and $150 after rebate isnt too bad!

Newegg does accept BTC so you can buy that with your FTC today!

nsg mining away

It has been about a month since this guy left us for good. Looking through photos on my phone is still really hard to do.

I have some photos that I will be uploading every couple of days so keep your eyes peeled.

I decided to bake a few of my older GPUs to see if I could get any more hashrate from them. I tried a sapphire and a MSI 7970, sadly I didnt get either of them to come back from the dead!

Good FTC prices today, looks like I got paid to keep my house warm 3 winters in a row. Thanks guys!
