Topic: Feathercoin [FTC] - page 149. (Read 460641 times)
Anyone can say to me why so many people believe in this currency in particular? There is no exchange at all, and at least 10 other active crypto-currencies.
Getting a bit addicted to this now. I think I want this too badly.

I can not do graphics, but I can picture in my head this coin... see on the bottom of the feather there are a few fins that make out an F (forget about the top part of the feather)...
further to this... the top fin and bottom stem of the feather look like arms of a Clock........... the roundness of the coin further signifies a clock... why not make the F out of the feathers and the feathers can be the arms of a clock... the clock indicating speed - speed of feather coin..
Also you can make the numbers for the clock around the edges in binary, separated by a ".". so like 1.110.11011.11011100. and so on and so on...
anyone want to try to take this image out of my brain and actually try to make something of it? maybe I am thinking too much?
I had no idea what I was going after when I started, but this is what I came up with in the end. There are some trace elements of previous entries, some good ideas in here

So, everybody else is doing the "round", coin thing ... let's roll!

can I mine this with a normal CPU or do I need a $1,000 graphics card with special software on certain ports?
You can mine with a CPU, but you won't have awesome results. You'll get 4-50 kh/s depending on your processor. Let's just say you can get 12 kh/s, then you would get a couple of coins a day. Probably not really worth it. And within 1-2 weeks you wouldn't even be getting 1FC/day at 12kh/s.
If you really want to mine, even for this you would need to pick up a video card... no need to spend $1000 if you have a motherboard with a free PCI-E slot and decent power supply. Then you get pick up a Radeon 7950 for $300 or less. I'm mining with 2 7950's right now and at current difficulty should be able to get at least 200 coins/day.
thanks. do you use the GUI with the Radeon?
I tried GUI, but it kept flaking out on me. I finally just went straight to CGminer, and I'm averaging 635 kh/s per card right now. Cards are overclocked to 1100 GPU clock and 1500 mem clock using MSI Afterburner. My settings were copied from the litecoin hardware comparison page:
--shaders 1792 --gpu-engine 1100 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-fan 100 -I 20 -w 256 --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 24000 -g 1
give it a try at 1050 or 1075 clock.. i've found the khash is roughly the same but power usage (heat...) is a bit less.
1050 dropped off at least 20kh/s/card, 1075 seems to do the trick tho. May have dropped off a few, but nothing terrible. I think I actually started w/1075 then changed it for some reason that I can't recall atm.
I think it would look cool if you were to get rid of the actual "F" and the bottom fin on the left side, and mirror the top two fins I circled where the "F" was. That way it's like two "F's" facing opposite directions but at the same time making for a nice logo.
I'm running it now with cgminer and it's working.
Thanks! If we can a few more we'll start hitting some blocks!

I guess it's better to put my 3 logos in one message.

Not very good ones, but more entries the better it is I guess

ooo I like the middle one.
I'm running it now with cgminer and it's working.
They are just perfect, best of all so far.
I took some cues from previous ideas posted here, if there's any reward I hope it's shared.
Edit: Thanks for the tip.

Welp, I'll just leave this here.

use cpu miner for cpu mining ;-) (minderd.exe with scryptminer.exe)

I know I've already submitted about 20 designs, but it was a progressive thing and in fairness I actually started before the bounty.
I will submit my final 5 designs tomorrow morning as I've done a couple more this evening but I'm out at the moment.
I reckon I have until around 11am GMT to get my final submissions in. Thanks for all the feedback so far and for the couple of donations I've received for my efforts. It's greatly appreciated and really says a lot about this community.
Tomorrow I dedicate 2 more 2,000khash machines to mining this coin, which I believe will be the #3 behind BTC and LTC.
