The blocksize controls are being addressed by Monero. Not quite there yet, but the path is understood and the work is in progress.
Where is this being discussed? (sorry for the OT, but I suppose the changes are relevant for all the derivatives)

It's a merged mining coin, the way I see it, it completely relies on the main coins which are so far doing good. I highly doubt that dev will abandon this coin.
Quite the opposite. Merged mining normally has no reliance at all. It's just the same work used in two places via a commitment. The things that FCN is merged with can stop existing and FCN would continue along fine (which is also demonstrated by FCN not caring at all).The fact the merged mining is a non-trivial protocol change should be interesting— right now it generally seems that the bytecoin ecosystem as a whole doesn't have a lot of hard core technical attention on it, which is concerning, considering some of the issues in the system (e.g. the completely unhinged blocksize controls)... the fact that FCN has people working on it who are willing and able to do lowlevel protocol work is a positive sign.

Price is also mostly set by the market supply and demand. It's seems the demand is low as the volume on exchanges are lows.
I guess FCN need advertising for more traders / investors and pools for more miners.
cheers

I cant believe FCN price is so low. It looks very much the same specs than MRO, except that FCN blocks are 4 where MRO blocks are 16? This should make FCN rarer than MRO.

If I started mining with the command line start_mining 4 within the wallet, will it work?
good question,
you can try and tell us
But even if it works you don't take advantage of merging with BCN, QCN or MRO so it means less coins.
Mining MRO is a complete waste of time due to the high difficulty so I cannot see the advantage of merged mining. Unless you are extremely lucky with MRO but which is highly unlikely. But then you cannot win the lottery if you don't buy a ticket.

Any updates on the Swaphole situation

Great news!
I'm glad!

Sorry guys, but this stuff is not even that good... Check out MONERO, you will LOOOVE it.
IMO, it is bullshit!
Do you mine FCN? Do you see it price on exchange? Do you know anything about this coin?

Has anybody here checked out MONERO? If not - go check it out cuz its just awesome!!! Impressively profitable, definately recommended. 
Thanks for the info, but this thread is actually devoted to the Fantomcoin.

you cant use that miner
Why do you think so? Can you explain this to me?
May 31, 2014, 12:02:46 PM
That calculator is all messed up right now. Look at the prices and then go to the exchanges and check it out.

New miner from Wolf: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=632724.new
Thanks. I compiled Wolf's minerd. What is the command line and procedure to solo FCN with it?
