Topic: [FCN] Fantomcoin. CN based, anonymous. Merge mine with BCN, XMR, QCN, duck. - page 33. (Read 127132 times)

As a cryptocurrency, FCN is fork of Bytecoin. The BTC system is very different in terms of software, and it's not anonymous (it's pseudo-anonymous). FCN is as anonymous as it gets.

However, all cryptocurrencies (CCs) are related to BTC in the way that all fiat currencies are related to the US Dollar. Almost all fiat currency exchanges base their rates on the US Dollar, and in the CC world, CC exchanges base their rates on BTC.

Couldn't say better myself.

I wonder if this is ever going to change tho. I mean, everything is priced compared to bitcoin now, will it be priced compared to FCN or any other CN currency?

bitcoin was #1 for 5 years already, i think it won't be replaced anytime soon. Undecided

The way I see it is that you can divide the cryptocurrency world into two parts:

The More Public Coins. I would include BTC in this. Really, I would include only BTC in this. I'm not an altcoin fan, although I do have some (just from mining). People would use BTC because there are needs for a public register of transactions. If you are operating a business, you really want this for the purposes of disclosure, accountability, reputation, regulatory compliance, etc.
The More Private Coins, such as FCN. Yes, these are technically alt-coins, but they provide features that BTC doesn't provide -- namely anonymity -- so I see them in a subclass separate from the BTC clones. Sometimes you don't want your assets or spending to be public, and these coins fill that need.

BTC use will continue to grow, no doubt about it. And that's great - I love BTC. But FCN (and *CN) coins will continue to grow in use as well. They each meet needs that the other type can't provide.

I believe it depends on popularity of currency.

Agree, i think it needs good marketing!

Marketing is not everything. Bitcoin is number one, because it was made first.

Just read this article: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/cryptocurrency-news-round-apple-accepts-bitcoin-apps-cryptocurrency-divorces-1450984
It's not connected completely connected with FCN, but start of accepting crypto currencies by apple may mean a huge step forward in accepting it.
As FCN is a crypto currency as bitcoin is, i believe it will be possible to use it too!

Nice article, I just wanted to write some apps with in-app payment.

I've downloaded files for OSX, but when I try to run them, os tells that they are broken and suggests to move to trash..any ideas??

Where'd you downloaded it from? Try from this link: http://sourceforge.net/projects/fantomcoin/files/fantomcoin-macos.zip/download

This one works normal, than you! Cheesy

Now, when Apple started supporting CCs it's a huge step forward!

Why has the price dropped like a stone? I mean 21 sat wtf Embarrassed

This is weird. Difficulty goes up and price goes down? There are some shenanigans going on I'm telling you.

Maybe someone was dumping once again. It's climbing up back now.

Is FCN currency somehow connected with BTC?
