Topic: [ANN] Fastcoin - FST - The Fastest coin so far in the market - is launched!! - page 33. (Read 238250 times)

I just went through your YouTube channel. There's a huge issue here... Why is the maximum video quality 360p on most videos ? This is really frustrating, knowing that most of the computer screens are 1080p minimum, and most smartphones 720p.

Sorry to make this post an omnibus but is there a faster way to sync up the wallet?

If there is can you direct me to the post for the solution (I've seem to have gotten lost in the thread).

Also just a further set of observations the website looks awesome better than I remember. But looking as someone from the outside there is very little information about fastcoin and the fastcoin foundation. There is an faq, but it leads to http://www.fastcointalk.org/ which I believe is not the best way to answer questions for someone who is just finding out about the currency, also after searching the forum seems a bit underutilized. I think there should be a more descriptive message on how and why fastcoin is a great altcurrency. Not just saying that its fast, but why it is fast with more of the technical details broken down. This would help people to understand how this is a more effective currency for commerce.

Hello Mausi,

Thanks for your question,

As in all markets, being able to effectively communicate this technical advantage, sometimes comes down to marketing.  Please note, this is especially true for our relatively young Cryptocurrency space.  Try to look at it like a crowded group of people all yelling at each other at the same time in an echo chamber.  To further the point, everyone yelling is more keen on being heard then to being listen to, and to top it off in that echo chamber you have Bitcoin with a Bullhorn ;-).  

That is kind of what is going in on our space.  Hope that makes sense...

Another analogy you might want to consider could be the BETA vs VHS analogy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Videotape_format_war) not sure if you are familiar with this comparison as I am certainly dating myself now, but if you reference this example you will see that BETA was considered to be "Technically" superior to VHS, yet VHS came out on top in the market place, largely due to marketing efforts.

Although the FastCoin Foundation does have funds available to it to assist with Marketing efforts, at this point the Foundation would rather focus on innovation and forming meaningful partnerships with those funds then to start a shouting match in a somewhat already noisy chamber.  

We do realize that day may come when we will be forced to do so, however we feel that may not be for several years from now as the larger top 10 Tier cap Crypto's battle it out with somewhat deeper marketing budgets.

Hope that may make sense and thank you for your support.

Sincerely

/C

PS Just an FYI for all community members, I don't generally like to post in this area for these types of technical issues, if you are running a Full Node Wallet client on your PC you can download the latest FULL FastCoin Blockchain here...

If you have installed your wallet for the very first time you may find this download useful to help speed up your initial sync to the network.  For those that are not technically savvy more in-depth instructions are provided in our Forum at www.fastcointalk.org

Hi All!

I'm new to posting but not to Fastcoin. I can remember it when it had an actual cheetah on the logo lol! I had a suggestion that maybe that can be considered. Would it be possible for someone with intimate knowledge of fastcoin to write up a wikipedia article on it? I think it would give some more credibility to the currency. I personally know when I'm looking into new things I try to research it up on wikipedia before hand. I know people can read the forums etc., but to have everything on a wikipedia would be more inviting to people not in the know of altcoins or cryptocurrency in general.

Done. Shouldn't we also revive the subreddit? It looks so dead, I'm afraid to touch it...

outside this forum, twitter is the centre of the crypto universe

all FST fans follow the main Fastcoin twitter account, like all the tweets, and retweet and tweet your own FASTCOIN tweets
https://twitter.com/fast_coin

sweet new website!
https://www.fastcoin.ca/

We understand that our coin may not be "Perfect" but like Bitcoin and all the rest of them, for the purpose of storing and exchanging value, FST it is "Good Enough" to perform the task.  

Looking forward to getting past the teething stages of our coin, and moving on to much larger specific use cases.

Fastcoin looks like a really promising coin, I'm glad I invested on time. Let's get it higher.

So in order to convince me to buy, I visited your website (I'm French), aaaand that translation is quite ridiculous haha

You guys wrote "12 Deuxième temps de blocage", which is an absolute non sense. Literally, it means "12 Second (Like in First, Second, Third, Fourth...) blocking time".
In my opinion, the best translation (Which doesn't sound weird) would be:
"12 secondes par bloc" (literally "12 seconds per block", sounds better in french)

But if you want a more literal translation, I'd go with "Temps de bloc de 12 secondes". Yet it sounds weird.

If you need help to translate the rest of the website, I'd be glad to help.

I have turned on mining of FST from the same client with the stuck transactions, but the hash rate was so low that I didn't get any blocks.  But I might try this in the next iteration.

Yes it is strange that other nodes didn't get the transactions.  There seemed to be communication between two nodes on the same machine, but cryptopia, for example didn't get any of the transactions.  Though my cryptopia account does have about 100000 FST pending since April from my very first round of transfers that mostly failed.

Strangely, I also have a withdrawal from Cryptopia that is currently "lost" - f255903149429a1cd5a7b3b50122e9e4634cdac58bd93ea5af97a168729f8533 - This was a transfer to my off market buyer and this transaction is not part of the blockchain (getrawtransaction does not return a successful result).  Cryptopia claims that the transaction was generated and its the miners responsibility to confirm it.  This transaction may in fact be stuck the same way as many of my other transactions that never made it anywhere.  This transaction does not appear in the mempool.  A block explorer would be definitely useful in debugging some of these problems.

Polo have stepped up to the plate every time! They have been through everything and just grown stronger each time. https://poloniex.com/press-releases/2017.06.07-Improving-Our-Support-Capacity/

do we know what the credentials are to be listed for example on bittrex?


btw just wondering if "twiiter" instead of "twitter" is on purpose, on the homepage under community ;-)

haha yep I spotted the typo too, hope devs see your comment, only a small thing though

as far as I know bittrex have no add coin application
you can tweet them and if they have 5 they may look into a coin, they generally are on the lookout for new high volume coins unfortunately
they do though add old school honest coins like this that are growing well,

so once we are bigger maybe 5 mill marketcap and better volume I think worth approaching

I think polo are to be avoided, they wouldnt consider fst just now, too low cap

plus THEY are to be avoided, the things i am reading about them at minute on twitter and trollboxes
people are panicking, polo are in undisclosed offices, ignoring support, excuses, they messed up on a coin and people lost all from wallets etc

they are another cryptsy in making i fear, victim of their own success and greed

bittrex is nice but too early imo and not big enough, livecoin is a really nice exchnage plus has fst/usd and fst/btc, this is great for n on crypto people to get into fastcoin

we also need a block explorer as others have said, had a few i think, but they die off if subs not kept up
you have to have one to even apply for polo or bittrex or any exchange
think devs said they are building own one for fastcoin which would be great

the one ediths mentioned few posts up is best, cryptoid i think
but if you visit thread where she linked, they are basically off til september due to growing so big and they want to relax before adding more coins and growing again
they are a first class operation though, not in it for money
