It isn’t time to bail is it?

On the mining market? I’d like to see an argument for why we should continue when we know how the game ends, especially when there’s better ways to ensure the longevity of the coin. The move to NeoScrypt signaled the death rattle. It was a move made in desperation as a completely misguided attempt at remaining relevant in a rapidly changing and evolving market. The only winning move in this game is not to play, which is what we’re discussing on Slack right now, and how to win at a different game.

Lizhi, I was very interested in your proof of service concept.

you could also add stuff around the hackathon main event to draw more attention. things like introduction lectures for crypto, how to get your first rig going and what not (perhaps i can come over and show how to build an open rig chassis by yourself ;) )

Great discussion. How do we innovate in the open source environment?. An area worthy of innovation.

Never mind!

I should learn to have more patience searching… ::)
Solved!

People will still buy the things they love but for for less, is how I take it to read. Although now I am surely confused, thanks for the head wreck Tarquin. :D

This…
It’s saying you would rather buy something you loved… I dunno… hookers, crack, a new TV a few 7990’s etc for £400 than £500.

I would recommend trying to set up your own pool.
That way you get some insights into how ftc works, some example of internal db usage for counting shares. How to comunicate between web frontend/db/ftc daemon and so on.

Good learning experience and covers a bunch of the stuff on your list
Also theres alot of info on the matter if you google 8)
Then you just need to learn some functions to generate the random drawing and such

Wish you a nice vacation! 8)

We have a PR kit. I ran the PR release by Bush, we also have:

Artwork Community Stats Community Comments

We’ll hit the different areas in waves:

Publications Forums Youtube

etc…

I’ll throw my 2 FTC in here. I think we need a Powerpoint template too. That way we can start producing lots of content, mini tutorials and so forth. The younger generation gets Youtube, my generation loves Powerpoint. It’s also an efficient way of transmitting information. The more materials we have the better!

Can we make Zero a Science Officer please?? He’s starting to sound like he’s been assymilated by the block chain! ;D.

So you’re suggesting a CPU mining coin, with soft changes every 504 blocks hard coded in, to then analyse the data and see what works and what doesn’t? Sounds like a great idea!! But how do you agree that something ‘works’ or is ‘beneficial’?

Just a few more thoughts on the things that make a coin valuable (added to main):

Popularity - I suppose this would be driven by community support, but with popularity among miners, there are a lot of coins available to trade. With lots of coins to trade, lots of people start to get involved. Once lots of people are involved, the value rises. Essentially, this is an outcome of the majority of influencing factors. And it should be our aim! Here’s my equation :)

Popularity = (Ease to mine + Community Support) x Innovative distinguishing features x (Trade-ability + Usability + Confirmation time) = Profitability
[/quote]

I wouldn’t choose popularity. I would use trading rate. But it’s hard to track off chain items. UNLESS… be right back!

Hello,

My name is T4rQu1N, and I am a vocal supporter of FeatherCoin in the Troll-Box! (And elsewhere obviously). I’m interested in discussing technical innovations I’d like to see implemented by FeatherCoin, and I also mine FTC/LTC.

Look forward to chatting with you all!

Vocal supporters are incredibly important in Trollbox… great to have you and let us know how we can help. I’m working on material for you to point people to when the FUD starts getting kicked around.
