Topic: 30 Day Challenge - Feathercoin Development (Read 3555 times)

No probs

12 posts in, Bitcoinboard is making them count! Great job.

I have written a Guide which shows people how to start mining Feathercoins on my Cryptocurrency website: http://bitcoinboard.net/how-to-mine-feathercoin-on-windows/

All done, the conversion went quite smooth and slightly quicker than expected, I think it works OK
Further details can be found here:

Thanks for your help with the API!

Great keep us posted 

You are a star  , I did find that site but I was using:
 http://cryptocoinexplorer.com:5750/FC/fc/q/getdifficulty - LOL and obviously getting nowhere! 

Thanks again, I'll get to work on it later on today and hopefully should have something completed over the weekend, I'll update in here when I'm finished.

Also - you can pull the FC difficulty from here : http://cryptocoinexplorer.com:5750/chain/feathercoin/q/getdifficulty

This is awesome! Please message the dev Bush - he can probably help

Hi I am willing to convert my Free LiteCoin android app for FeatherCoin but need someone to be kind enough to share the Feathercoind API with me (I would require access to difficulty only)
If you can help please PM me.....

I'm sorry, looking at your name, I realize you were one of the guys supporting an exchange for FC. There's so much talent among the group here, I'm hoping everyone decides to do whatever they can to support FC's future.

I'm sorry; I was feeding the troll.  Didn't mean to hijack the thread.

(My post was not a serious request for a bounty; my sarcastic point was that anyone can look at the FC block explorer and see there was no "premine.")

I realize I am an extremely small fish in the feather pond (with a little over 200 FCs), but here's my two cents...

If you guys are dreaming of a future where Feather Coins are in the mainstream; then you have to change the name (I don't know whether its possible). The initial hype and adoption has been amazing; but I simply can't see the general public spending 'FeatherCoins'. Hell, even when I first read I thought it was another joke coin, like BBQs. It has to be some single word, like 'Escudo' and not something like, say, IntraPay (which sounds like a payment facility). Even FCs sound cooler.

I know there is a lot of debate going on of FCs vs LTCs, about why the value is not right and all; but at the end of the day the coin with the better 'packaging' will win. IMO, in the future BTCs will be like super precious investments while one currency will be used for the general transactions; with other currencies being merely traded against it. Right now, LTC seems to be that candidate, but its not set in stone, and FCs, or something else in the future may become that one.

Thing is all those stuff 'ASIC resistant' '4x coins' etc won't really matter. The Coin which is easily accessible, usable and looks professional will be the winner. Its a shame, but in the world we live in 'form' and 'content' are both equally important.

I would prefer the next coin to become the main coin; mainly because my graphics card died (while playing ME3, of all things) and I missed the boat. I certainly wouldn't relish telling my grandchildren the story 'I was there when it started - it was called Feather Coins back then; and I watched it take off like a VTOL aircraft while I was clutching my fried Radeon'.

As I said, this is purely my opinion - feel free to carry on. Its just that I see a lot of effort from the community and it seems to me some basics are being ignored.

EDIT: Moved into this thread as I think its more relevant here.

Will the compiled code work on other distros?

Time to set up a VM!

No premine - in fact the dev bought more coins a few days in so he could fund more bounties to help FC even more. You have no idea what you're talking about (which has been pretty apparent the whole time actually).

Still - you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink - I've been here for a while and I know a winner when I see one. FC is a great alt coin for a number of reasons - I'll let you try and work it out for yourself.

Holy crap!

Look forward to hearing about everyone's projects.

Would you pay me a bounty if I show you how big the premine was, with links to the block explorer to document the facts I provide?  If so, how much?

Thank you for your contribution to the 30 day thread.  Your objection is noted and won't expect any type of updates from you regarding Feathercoin adoption progress. Good luck in the coin you support and hope all is wonderful.

It's nice to have a thread with useful info on the development of a new coin.
The coin was announced here on the forum, network hashrate was very very low. There was no premine. Difficulty it's still very low compared to other altcoins, so any new miner can join and get a good amount of coins without huge mining rigs. Good luck to feathercoin, litecoin and others altcurrencies !

Wow, so much energy! I like the way u promote the coin, good luck!
