Hello,

I created a profit calculator for Feathercoin using Excel.

Basically it offers you a simple and easy method to keep track on how much money you spend, how much money you gained or how much money you lost. Also it is very easy to use because you only have to enter how much FTC you own. Everything else is calculated automatically.

Features:

• It calculates your overall profit
• It keeps track of how many Feathercoin you send or recieve each day
• A table that automatically provides you with the newest information about BTC and FTC (data from https://coinmarketcap.com/)
• Automatic calculations of the cost that comes with mining based on your own values
• Almost fully automatic. You only have to enter the amount of FTC that you own each day
• A nice diagramm which shows you how much money you gained over time
• Right now it supports USD and EUR

This project is also available on GitHub now. You are welcomed to make your own contributions on order to make it even better.

Right now there are two versions. One for EUR and one for USD. If you want me too add another currency just leave a message.

Feedback and suggestions are welcomed.

There it is! Turned out great.

Hello everyone,

i created the feathercoin logo as a 3D object mainly to 3D print it myself. But you can obviously use the design for your own projects too. I uploaded the files for you on my dropbox. You can find them under this link:

You don’t have to solo mine. You could also join a p2pool. It’s decentralized too and you get paid directly to your own wallet with completely fresh coins.

Here is a list of all p2pools that are available.
p2pool.neoscrypt.de
You can join any pool. The main difference between all pools are their fees and their location. Just choose a pool that is close to you. And don’t worry if your pool has no other miners on it. The hashrate is shared between all p2pools.

Happy new year!

The 0.13 wallet can sync in a few hours. You can download it from github.

Hello all,

i thought a while about how i could help with the development of ftc. I know i could make some donations but they would be pretty small because i just can’t afford to give money away right now. But considering Peter is working for free currently and has done a lot for our community in a very short amount of time i wanted to give something back. Considering i am mining over 12 hours a day i thought that i could just share a little bit of my hashrate.

To do this i created a p2pool that is collecting a 1% fee. The payout adress for these fees is Peters donation adress (6hf9DF8H67ZEoW9KmPJez6BHh4XPNQSCZz). I don’t think that i can prove that i am really using his adress and that this isn’t a scam except by mining on it myself and getting the first payments to his adress done so you have to trust me at the beginning. Or is there a way to check to which adress the fees are getting paid?

If you want to support peters work too feel free to join me in my pool. The pool adress is: http://ftcp2pool.ddns.net:19327/

It is very important that you use this adress and not the ip adress from http://p2pool.neoscrypt.de/ because i don’t have a static ip adress. It changes every day.

I also made a strawpoll where you can vote on how many percent of your hashrate you would like to donate for Feathercoins development. Based on the result i might change the fee in the future. http://www.strawpoll.me/14985345

Ok i have the project on GitHub now. And should i open a new topic in the guides section or can you move this one?

Update
I simplified it even more. You only have to enter the amount of FTC you own with the new version. Everything else is calculated automatically. Only if you use it for the first time you have to enter how much you paid for your mining hardware or coins in the Cost table.
The only drawback left is that you have to open the file atleast once each day. It isn’t a big problem if you don’t do it. It just means that you have to insert the price that FTC had over the past days manually. Because right now the table can only update the value for the current day. After the day is over it saves the value. So if it didn’t got any input you have to do it manually.
Also with the current version you can’t just enter USD values anymore because everything is automatic. So i will upload a USD version later this day or tomorrow too.

And thanks for your positive feedback. I will do a little bit of research on how to use github because i never used it for my own projects yet. Also should i migrate this into a different section of the forum? I just posted it here because that’s what the rules said.

And i don’t have a problem if you would like to embed this into the website. If you have the knowledge then go for it :D

My account is now verfified. It took around two weeks now. So if you plan on using bitrex you should definitly wait until your verification is done. Otherwise your coins are stuck for a while.

Currently i have around 400FTC in Bittrex too. When i first used bitrex i didn’t noticed that you need to be verified to withdraw anything. And after trying the automatic verification it failed even though my submitted photos were perfectly clear. Now i have to wait for a manual verification. It’s already over a week and i only get automatic responses from their support.

Basically they can’t handle the amount of people that are joining bittrex right now and you are stuck in a long queue which could take months. And they don’t even allow you to try the automatic verification again with better pictures. They force you to wait if it fails.

I don’t really think that bittrex is a secure platform considering they can’t even handle a situation where they have more users than normally properly. We definitely need FTC on other exchanges too.

And i just have to hope now that they get this fixed soon so that i can get my FTC back.

A few days ago i wanted to buy new feathercoins. Normally i bought ltc (because of bitcoins high fees) on coinbase, transferred them to bittrex, exchanged to btc and after that exchanged to ftc. This has two major problem. First it just takes time. You always need to to wait until coinbase recieves your transaction. After that you have to wait until your ltc are transferred to bittrex and even then you still have to transfer the ftc to your local wallet. Also you have to pay a lot of fees and you will get less ftc.

Another user on reddit mentioned litebit once and i tried it out. First of all you can buy FTC directly on litebit with fiat money which is already really nice. Second if you use giropay or sofortpay (both are usable in germany idk about other countrys) you can get the ftc instantly if you have reached tier 3 verification. I didn’t had tier 3 so i still had to wait until they got my money which took around 12 hours. The ftc that i bought got paid directly to my local wallet. I only had to pay a 1€ fee for the payment method that i chose. I could have paid even less fees if i wanted.

But the best thing is that with giropay they even guarantee you the price when you started your purchase. Even if it takes a day until they get the money. So if the price increases it’s not a problem. You don’t have to worry anymore to have enough fiat money on exchanges to be able to buy dips.

Right now they don’t have a big volume but when i bought my ftc they still had 7 million coins for sale. Maybe we could add litebit on the official website considering it is the only exchange that offers fiat pairs.

I added the files on thingiverse now too:

Well the problem mainly is that the 9800 GT is a very old card. So many miners probably aren’t even supporting it anymore. That’s why you have so many problems. You could try using old versions of these miners.

And i don’t think you can get a higher hashrate with nsgminer. I mean i don’t have any reference but it’s just a very old card. I don’t really expect that it performs any better.

Do you have to pay electricity btw? Because with such a low hashrate it would be really difficult to make any profit at all.

That it works without a username or a password is normal. You don’t need that for mining. You only need it if you want the coins to be credited to your account. And to be able to login to your account to withdraw coins.

The reason why you don’t get shares on the pool is because the gui miner is completely outdated. I think it still uses the scyrpt algo instead of neoscrypt. So all your shares are getting rejected by the pool. You can see that your hashrate is at over 700Mhash/s. A gtx 980 can probably do 800-900Khash/s with neoscrypt.

As already mentioned above you should use ccminer. I can provide you with an example .bat file late if you need help with that.

Also the reason why your anti virus is going nuts when you install a miner is because there is a lot of malware that contains miners that steal you cpu and gpu power. That’s why they always flag them as malicoius. So you can ignore these warnings.

You are mining on a p2pool so everything is fine. When you are mining on a p2pool you get your payment to your wallet directly.

Centralized pools like miningpoolhub use a different system. They get the blockreward and use online wallets where you get your payments. But that doesn’t matter in your case because you are not using a centralized pool which is a good thing.

And no this tab is not for payouts in fiat money. Only exchanges can give you fiat money for ftc. I never used this but i think it’s just what it says. You can request ftc from other ftc users. Like sending a bill to a customer.

70°C is not too hot. Anything over 90°C for a long period would be dangerous but even 80°C 24/7 is nothing to really worry about. But i would always stay below 80°C. During normal gaming using the stock fan profile the card can reach 80+°C too because that’s how the original fan profile works to make it more silent. It’s not really a problem.

So it does matter. But the card does not need to run at 60°C or something like that.

Also if it would get too hot the card does downclock itself to protect itself from damage. So it is almost impossible to destroy modern video cards by using a wrong fan profile. They will shutdown or manually clock themselves down automatically.

336,000,000 Coins are available. And right now 184,845,880 are in circulation. This just means that not all feathercoins are found yet and that we can still mine them.

For example Bitcoin has 21,000,000 Coins and 16,738,612 are in circulation. So they are closer to the point where it is impossible to mine new bitcoins. When they reach 21 Million coins it is impossible to mine new coins. Miners will only get paid by fees when that happens because new bitcoins can’t be generated anymore.

Basically you need to gain shares. There is a limited amount of shares available and you are fighting with other miners to get as many of these as possible. The more shares you get the higher your payout will be.

That’s why it is possible to not get anything at the beginning. But after you mined for a while and the % of shares that you own stabilizes you will get paid.
