Hi There

Welcome to the exciting world of feathercoin. Community here is very kind / helpful and brainy, more like spiderman and iron man put together.

Hope you have fun

Thanks

As Bitcoin has many forks Cash / Gold / Diamond Etc.

Will it be beneficial to the feathercoin community or FTC itself in anyway if a team decides to a hard fork? and create another coin?

Not sure if its even possible or financially viable for anyone, are there any advantages?

or is it damaging and derogatory to the community?

@bluebox

Agree with you on first and second, but the third one: as blockchain is a revolutionary product, not many of us can mine, people who mine I agree they are the true pioneers , but some of us want to be involved in it and part of it. Reason could be for an experience , thrill, amazement, exploration or even exploitation, we would need to put in our hard earned cash for that, it’s like any other investment property or any other invt you buy (Apart from your house that you live in), it could be seen as leeches but the funding helps the blockchain community somewhat.

@ag2288 well yesterday you may have been late to the party but today with altcoins dropping, 30% (call it burst - I have never seen that happen) welcome to the party, best time to invest, tomorrow will be an interesting day, BTC might be 6 or 10, I don’t think it will stay 8. But let me ask my grandma lol

In my opinion, the price stagnated for a while at around £6K BTC, then the hype of what could happen etc Korea / China etc, kicked in and the price doubled to 12-14K.

Bitcoin was a wonderful thing, but people (well me included) traded the hell out of it, then they did the same to top 200 coins, again and again, ripple at one point being worth £90 billion, to me its - come on - very very inflated.

6 months ago BTC was around 50% of the total cryto market, now its around 35%, when more people started to know about it and started to use the technology, the price went high, money came in the btc (300 - 400 billion), I don’t think many people would have known about neo / stellas / etc to invest directly, out of that billions, money went into alt coins, so that traders can pump and dump it. So what will happen, no one knows, my 85 year old grandma might turn out to be more accurate than the winklevoss twins. Noone can really predict. but that’s not stopping me lol.

Tomorrow: It might go to 15K

1. people are running out of coins to pump, there are only 1000 coins, everyone catched up on this, if someone made a profit last month, someone made a loss, BTC / Litecoin / Feathercoin even Dogecoin for me they are secure investment. If all fails these wont.

2. 500 Bn is nothing globally, Trillions of money from institutions hasn’t come in yet, when that happens, god knows.

3. At the moment its all been hyped, the potential of the technology has not even started and its worth this much, what if when the blockchain truly starts to become the reality.

Tomorrow : It might come down to 6K:

1. See not many people want to make money by just keeping FTC / BTC, so more and more want to trade, by this the %cap will decrease.

2. What is the true value of BTC £1 or £1Million?

3. Govt Bans and Regulations, that should have a big impact, especially if America does something, most of the world will follow.

Conclusion: We are in the middle of a revolution, probabaly only 1% of the population knows about this, be a part of it, whatever wealth we have, put 10% in this, for me these are the secure investment, long term - 2-3 years, in order: BTC / FTC / Litecoin / BCash & Bgold / Dogecoin / TrezarCoin (New but works and potential of growth is higher but so is the risk).

Hi there

Waking up from the dead!

Well to tell you the truth i would love to say been busy etc etc, but truth is I have been lazy.

But since you mentioned, felt ashamed, and given it another ago, to my amazement, it is damn easy, Got the wires connected, loaded the windows (bought a USB from ebay), voila i have built myself a PC. Am I officially an engineer now? Now i am downloading the feathercore wallet, but it has been loading since then, i think it will be another day or so.

I have got two cards, as this was a test project, 1050ti and 1080ti, best of both worlds. I will be happy to put the hash and step by step guide with pics once everything is working.

Thanks for the push.

@j0k3rhd Thanks for the reply mate, maybe if you read my question again you might reflect on it differently.

But It is useful in a way, it provides a different way of spending the bitcoins.

Been Reading about it, I think this is the better way.

Step 1: Lot of fishing sites there, make sure to download from a legitimate source. https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet, Elecrtum I believe is the most trusted one, download, keep safe phrases / passwords.

Step2. Repeat step 1 in another PC. Create another wallet

Step 3. In Step 1 PC, Go to Wallet, Private Key – Sweep, you should get the BTC.

Step 4. Send it to Step 2 PC.

Step 5. Go to https://www.bitcoincash.org/#wallets, Download Electron Cash, very similar to Electrum, Sweep the private key from the paper wallet.

Step 6. Download Electron Cash in the other PC and transfer Bitcoin cash to that wallet.

Step 7. Download https://bitcoingold.org/ Coinomi, Android Wallet on your phone, Set up, choose BTG and sweep the paper wallet key again. Keep this for shopping lol

Step 8. Setup account at Local bitcoins, get verified and start selling and buy 1080ti eventually.

Could someone please see if these are okay steps, You cant lose Bitcoin cash by doing this right?

@j0k3rhd what do you think of this?

Not sure if its appropriate, if not please delete,

REWARD of 50 FTC, for the best step to step guide and explanation.

Thanks

Hi there

Need Help.

How to transfer from old paper wallet (before cash and gold) to Bank Transfer / Cash.

The way I gather it this:

Step 1. Blockchain.info : Create wallet, put your key in, transfer your wallet, transfer BTC and BCH.

Step 2: Then go to coinomi, swipe the old paper wallet and get gold from there to coinomi wallet.

Just needed to confirm that the gold will still be in the old private key? even after transferring the wallet to blockchain, or step 2 should be done first?

Step 3. Go to localbitcoins open account and start selling there, and transfer how much you need from blockchain wallet to localbitcoin wallet.

Q: Arent there any exchange there where you can upload your private key or sell bitcoin and transfer to £ and get the money transferred directly to your account? Do you have to sell to other people?

Thanks

Hey Guys

Went to Brian Behlendorf - Hyperledger, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperledger meetup yesterday, what i gathered there was that there are limitless possibilities of how blockchain technology can be used, from recording a history of individual diamond to id / credit ratings records etc.

Feathercoin Blockchain: Is there any future possibility of smart contracts to be executed on FTC blockchain or any other ways it could be exploited for a better future?

Thanks

Feathercoin Advert

Open with shots portraying the establishment, particularly financial institutions – The Houses Of Parliament, Bank Of England, Canary Wharf, Stock Market.

The message is that the money movers and shakers have had it their own way for too long and now it’s time for a bit of people power – There’s a revolution on the horizon, the Bitcoin / feathercoin revolution.

Introduce a main character. As far removed from a ‘city type’ as possible. Female would be good, youngish, maybe hippyish, Mother Earth type figure. Might be nice to see her as part of the community. Perhaps working with children, nursing an elderly patient, on a city farm, something along these lines.

The message here is that corporate greed doesn’t have to drive the world. We’ve got each other and community is what matters.

We see our character in a small village. It’s a 1930s setting. People pass and say hello, other’s wave from across the road. There are small individual shops – Butchers, bakers, single pump petrol station.

The message is that people were happier when life was simpler, there’s so much pressure in the modern world and wouldn’t it be nice if we were able to turn the clock back. What we want to convey is that in some ways we can.

Now we see our girl in a more modern market. She is carrying a basket. She buys something from a stall, but instead of paying, the stallholder looks in the basket and chooses something in exchange (a feather). Both look happy with the deal.

The message is that this is what Feathercoin can do. It’s about people, community, helping each other. It’s not about greed and fat cats squeezing out every penny of profit, to the detriment of everyone else. It’s how things used to be, when life was simpler and we cared about each other more than money.

We see our character involved with a community project again. Lots of smiling faces. The message is that people over profit makes for a better world.

Hey guys

There were few different threads about marketing, thought it will be best to add to this thread for future reference.

As my knowledge in cryto is quite limited, i was thinking of ways to be able to put my bit in the community. Turned to marketing, thought of doing an advert for more exposure etc. But recent developments in the coin/ price increase, it turns out the advert etc is not a great idea at the moment. Illogical marketing probably achieves the opposite effect of what the intended was.

“Talking about a coin and the experiences someone has with it is one of the best marketing strategies”

But i guess I will post this advert, what i had written beforehand, let it be for amusment purposes, lol.

@jimmy24651 Is this an invitation for next meetup? Lol Well if you ever decide to visit London, keep us in your thoughts, you definitely got friends here.

@amdd yes mate, it was three of us, it was short notice and as Feathercoin being like a feather having its vane scattered all over the world, it’s great to part of a meetup that was fruitful. It’s a shame I didn’t take any pictures though.

After hours of searching, trying few different things. I cant seem to get anything on the monitor.

With the screwdriver I get the CPU and EVGA fan going. Graphics card fan doesn’t turn on though. But I guess for graphics card I need to install drivers etc to get it going. Graphics card is in PCIE X16 has 6 power pin on top, I am using the 6 + 2 connector which is nearest to the power supply.

But still nothing comes on the screen.

when the VGA cable isn’t in then the monitor is effectively green and on when I put the VGA I goes orange (turns off).

Not really a mining question or a mining rig question, more of how to build a pc question.

Well I wish I built a PC when I was young instead of buying one. Damn!

Needed to start the motherboard LOL.

Hey guys, Thought I will give this a go today.

Stuck at the first hurdle, cant seem to start my EVGA power supply?

I have made 3 connections.

1. 20+4 pin to the motherboard
2. 4+4 to motherboard
3. 6 Pin to the card

As I am using a USB hard disk, don’t think I need anymore connection!

See Image below:

Googled about this, did a wire connection test, where you put a wire in the 3 and 4 pin, that did start the fan perfectly.

So what am I doing wrong?

Thanks

@gooders

Just a guess but say someone (A) with £100K, he buys buys buys, from 4pa coin to 8p, hoping for other people to join in who (B) even realise it’s p d, they try to make quick profit and buy at 8p. Price goes up to 10p. (A) sells all at 10p, makes a profit on each coin ranging from 2p to 6p in each coin. B who bought at 8p bought something that was worth 4p. of course. it’s easier for me to write whatever I think could have happened, will be miles away from the truth though.

But as feathercoin real worth is not affected in the price, it could all be genuine and some funds/companies etc might just be stocking up for long term.

100 different possibilities.
