Had one of those eureka moments before and realised it was all in the registry:
Decided to do a quick mock webpage complete with donate button linking to feathercoin:address_here

The following registry entries are dependant on the client being installed in the above (see image) location…I have created an installer.exe for the client already, I just need to add the following entries to it.

[code]Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\feathercoin]
@=“URL:Feathercoin Protocol”
“URL Protocol”=“”
“UseOriginalUrlEncoding”=dword:00000001

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\feathercoin\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\feathercoin\shell\open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\feathercoin\shell\open\command]
@=hex(2):22,00,43,00,3a,00,5c,00,50,00,72,00,6f,00,67,00,72,00,61,00,6d,00,20,\
00,46,00,69,00,6c,00,65,00,73,00,20,00,28,00,78,00,38,00,36,00,29,00,5c,00,\
46,00,65,00,61,00,74,00,68,00,65,00,72,00,63,00,6f,00,69,00,6e,00,5c,00,66,\
00,65,00,61,00,74,00,68,00,65,00,72,00,63,00,6f,00,69,00,6e,00,2d,00,71,00,\
74,00,2e,00,65,00,78,00,65,00,22,00,00,00[/code]

Now when you enter feathercoin:address_here into the browser address bar you will see the above prompt to open the qt client.

With everything else I have been doing I completely forgot about announcing this ::)
Hopefully this will be of some use to our fellow developers:

[url=http://api.feathercoin.com/?output=info]Feathercoin Developer API[/url]

Please note that the basic examples are exactly that - ‘basic examples’…
All Feathercoin address verification should be done prior to API submission, as address verification is not handled by the API.

I’ll contact Peter over the next few days and see about getting the Featheraddress source integrated into the forum on a 443 connection. I am sure iawgoM can work his usual wizardry with the CSS.

Great news bush! In the meantime, I’m stocking up on cheap coins. :)

A 51% attack is usually what is bantered about by people who don’t really understand the complexity in successfully pulling one off, in fact usually by people who would actually struggle [i]pulling one off[/i] [citation needed] :D

Is now offline ;(
Unfortunately over the past few months server running costs have been far outweighing any income.
I might trial a few new games in the future to see if I can get some fresh interest going but for now it’s a closed shop.
Just like to say many thanks to all who did support this project. 8)

Why? :o
What were your server costs?

More than the profit :)

I have been pulling my hair out for the past day on how to solve (what should be simple math)…I am currently creating a service that will charge a set 1% fee…I want to display the users current balance and their maximum spendable balance that takes into account this fee…Seems easy enough…lets see.

Example (ignoring any potential TX fee for now)
Fee = 0.01
Balance = 100
100 * 0.01 = 1
100 - 1 = 99 (max spendable balance?) Wrong!

User then sends their displayed max spendable balance but the fee is charged on the amount entered, so…

99 * 0.01 = 0.99
99 + 0.99 = 99.99
100 - 99.99 = 0.01 (this amount will be their remaining balance, so the maximum spendable balance displayed was actually wrong)

I have tried adding this difference back onto the displayed maximum balance and while close is still not correct.

So how would I display their [i]exact[/i] max spendable balance, a figure that when sent will satisfy every one of the following cases: eg, Pay 1% fee, pay tx fee, send amount entered, and reduce balance to [i]exactly[/i] 0?

There must be a way, but can I for the life of me figure out how…

I will pay a 500FTC bounty for the first person that can solve this problem (if at all solvable) and post me a working example of the math involved below.
