In Australia we have a bird called a galah, you can teach it to say fairly complicated phrases, which they will then repeat over and over again, a bit like the same complaints that came from the LTC camp.
I'm sure we can arrange to have a few trained up to repeat the same tired complaints which once they have been taught will never change what they say, again a bit like some people from the LTC camp
For the record I do know the early history of FTC.
I didn't play an active roll in FTC until fairly recently but was mining FTC within a month of it launching, so heard many of the complaints back then that I'll I'm still hearing now.
Those complaints back then didn't see me want to swap to LTC and I still don't now.
I see that today the ASIc mining power on FTC is 140 GH/s, true well below what LTC has, but I wonder how much it would cost someone to find 141GH/s to 51% attach it, would it be worth it really to do so?
But Conqueror is correct, thanks Smoothie for keeping this thread at the top, and I apologise to the bulk of the LTC supporters, as Smoothie has admitted that the pettiness is solely his and has nothing to do with LTC.

Gee Smoothie is that the best complaint you can come up with today.
A number of the FTC community decided to put FTC into a pot for the first non spammer that joined once the member count went over 20,000.
But rather than congratulate them for their generosity and the community spirit they are fostering at FTC you fuss on whether the member count is accurate or not.
No mater, hardfork is in just over 6 days time (give or take a few hours), we will then be free from this generation of ASICS, and hopefully from them for a while, and FTC will be returned to the smaller miners, not locked into large data-centres.
If you would like to follow the countdown to NeoScrypt you can follow it with my twitter bot

No need for LTC to thank FTC for us helping to secure your blockchain by passing over the ASICS mining FTC back to LTC and other Scrypt coins.
If LTC ever decides to move forward and away from Scrypt I'm sure FTC will be more than happy to help, and we will do it without all this pettiness I see from LTC.
Have a nice day.

Nope it isn't my biggest problem with FTC.
Please consider that FTC has changed the protocol of Feathercoin too many times and took waaay too long to change the important parts about its mining algorithm.
In the first few months of FTC's launch the alert system was still linked to Litecoin's network. Bushstar basically copy and pasted the Litecoin source and did not make any meaningful changes to the code.
So no it isn't my biggest complaint. Although those 20,000 user stats are not true as most of those users are likely not active users and just spam accounts.
I'm not saying that the people backing FTC are bad people. What I am saying is that their developments are too few too late. The market has moved on from FTC and its "developments".
Let me be clear and say that this "pettiness" is from me purely and not from LTC.
Why should anyone thank the Feathercoin community for "passing over" the asics mining FTC back to LTC?
Remember now, if Feathercoin did not change its mining algorithm from scrypt it would either get killed and 51% attacked or FTC would be forced to merge mine with LTC as doge has.
So no there is no thanks there lol. Please try harder to make your points while grasping at straws.
Smoothie is back! Best FTC thread bumper ever
So how many accounts on LTC forum are inactive or spam accounts?

20,000 members means nothing if more than half of those accounts are nothing but spam accounts.
You should do your research and ask the admin of the forum how many of those accounts have not been used in the past 3, 6, and 12 months.

What is power consumption like using gpus? High like scrypt, low like x11, or somewhere in between?
For me its 550W for 3x R9 280x at 100kh/s each. so its little higher than x11 but way lower than scrypt.

At the moment pretty low.Can't give you exact values as I can't measure my power consumption, but aiming at a 65C GPU running temp my fans only run at around 30% to 35%, whilst that would give me about 80% fan run speed with Scrypt.
As the GPU is more optimised and the hash level increases I'm guessing power consumption will go up a bit, but it will still be better than Scrypt

For those interested I've just set up an FTC Twitter bot to countdown the switch to Neoscrypt.
It will tweet once a day from 7 days out, then 12 hours, 6 hours, 3 hours 1 hour, 30 minutes , 10 minutes and then the last 5 blocks. (hopefully)
Those wishing to follow the tweets here is the link to it
https://twitter.com/FTC_countdown
Will let you know when its time to fire up those GPUs again

I am glad I grabbed some coins at 0.00008 it is to risky for me trying to buy lower just 10 days before fork.
This is also good opportunity to look at the all time chart and study the previous development.
There was lot of insane pumps on FTC, but now for the first time in history there are big and fundamental news that
might support the growth of value.
For me personaly is also important that I will be able to set my GPUs for mining again.
