My personal opinion:

A hard fork may be required for technical reasons, like the move from the Scrypt to the Neoascrypt algorithm as @Wrapper mentioned above.

In that case the dev team set the fork time to a block number several month in the future and will announce the new version as mandatory update and clearly announce, that the new version will be incompatible with the old one and everybody will have to change to the new version. The block number, where the technical change will click in will be announced at the same time.
Users then have the time to update their wallets.
If users refuse to update their wallet as wrapper mentioned above, there will be a hard fork, but typically the ‘old’ version of the wallet and the corresponding block chain dies within some weeks.

A hard fork to create a new coin is useless in my opinion. It doesn’t help the original coin and it would be more efficient and easier to maintain for the forking developers, if they create a new genesis block for their ‘forked’ chain and start from scratch.
I’m totally against this type of hard fork, even if we technically can’t hinder people doing it, as the software is public domain, and I also believe, that the forked coin has less chance to survive than a new coin.
‘Feathercoin Classic’, the thing wrapper mentioned above, didn’t make it even for 6 month.

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?

@wellenreiter said in Smart Contracts on feathercoin blockchain?:

Smart contracts is planned for 0.13.x relases

I’ve added smart contracts to the 0.13.x functional requirement, is there anything else missing?

@ag2288 said in Novice building a Mining Rig:

@bluebox it could be that Ubuntu is the reason behind my success.
Regarding overclocking it seems it will have to wait until I build dedicated miner as it seems that my “magic” does not allow me to change settings from nvidia-settings. I probably could change them from terminal, but I dont want to dig into that right now, so thank you for your help :)

I might try it sometime with a dual xeon/intelHD server I have and the 1030 out of my kid’s gamebox. I doubt we can get the fan+o/c controls to show up since I believe the settings cli and control panel rely on having the nvidia kernel mod loaded for that.

I did try other version of ccminers and ccminer-ghostlander is doing incredible ~735 kH/s :) Other miners are around 600 kH/s, so there is no doubt in my mind which one to use :) Now i just have to decide weather to stay and mine feathercoin or try some other coin which could potentially have higher growth…
By the way my I ask where did you get 1060 for such amazing price you mentioned in the other topic?

I got them from Amazon and Newegg. Last year they were readily available, though limited to two per purchase, so I bought two from each place, $215-220 each. These days, 1060’s are like hens teeth and cost a ridiculous amount (from suspicious vendors). I mean seriously — $550 for a 6160-KR?? :rofl: I ordered another Seasonic PSU to power my two trusty 970’s on the same rig; much better to keep using those than pay THAT kind of money for 1060’s.

1060’s were and still are the most efficient neoscrypt hash-per-watt option out there, especially when overclocked. Perhaps too many people read my ccminer topic… ;)

Well let me know the next one, I’ll paddle on over from Texas.

Thanks for all your help, I will try this on a better machine, see how it goes. Thanks for your replies.

Or use your S4 at BTC and buy FTC from that at every day. ;)

@Vigospqr
May i ask in which country?
