I'm interested in learning more about FeatherCoin.
Are the confirmations faster than Litecoin? Does it have any other unique characteristics from Litecoin apart from a larger coin size?
Trying to decide whether this is worth dedicating any mining resources to.

I can't seem to get any active connections to the Feathercoin Network through feathercoin-qt. Any suggestions?
Enable UPNP in the FeatherCoin client and your router, or forward port 9336 to the computer running the FeatherCoin QT client, and configure your firewall to let the client listen on that port.

Strange issue. I turned on cgminer on a machine that I get ~800khs with when mining litecoin. Attempting to mine feathercoin I am getting less than 30. Anyone else having this problem, or can anybody provide some insight?
This happens to me from time to time as well, and I'm not sure of the exact problem. I'll get 290Kh/s out of Litecoin..and if I stop and restart it sometimes it goes down to 20Kh/s. If I switch to another alt coin, it stays around that 20Kh/s until I reboot my PC. After that, mining Litecoin (or any other alt on first run) goes at the normal 290.
Hmm...
Awesome this one is working perfectly
Thanks!!
Don't thank me, thank the creator of the pool
Added the --fix-protocol command. Didn't fix the stratum messages :/ but it did increase my hash rate from 800 to 990 
so thanks for that!
Any other suggestions to get the messages to go? Need them to go soon, as cgminer isn't reporting me getting and shares :/

well it's a start atleast
did you try the alternate pool with the new port where you actually have to register to get in? it's at http://fpool1.zapto.org:28339
Register for an account at http://fpool1.zapto.org:15005/
that's one is working for me, i haven't tried the other one since this one started
Thanks!!
where can i see the actual difficulty?
if you use cgminer, it should be on top of the screen when you run it (difficulty : 65.5K or something atm)
where can i see the actual difficulty?
got a payment from your pool, tyvm
No worries - glad that script is working correctly
and looks like a couple more FC should be headed everyones way, already found 5 blocks 
The next difficulty increase in around 400 ++ blocks would be interesting. The hash rate has almost doubled from yesterday.
Having this same problem. Will tip feathercoin to whoever helps get it working.
Feel free to try my pool again, then I can check the log files to see if anything appears on my end. Does not look like many miners at the moment. Stats seem to be updating fine as far as I can tell - please let me know otherwise

you're getting those messages because your miner is only talking the stratum protocol which the pool doesn't support (yet?). disable it and you're good to go.

and yeah I've registered on that one but I thought for some reason I'd get more FC on the first. Will I get the same amount on either pool?I get shared on the second by the way, so of I get the same amount of coin on each, I'll just go for that one
It's the same amount

I can confirm that the stats are working. Little slow but working now and the web interface is actually pretty informative. The hash rate of the pool is only 380 Khashes/s at the moment so join us and give some power

execute your normal cgminer command line, and add --fix-protocol in the end, that should remove those messages.
It is, however, an indication that you are connected to the pool. A few posts ago, there was a new port for the pool, fpool1.zapto.org:28339 , but you have to register on the website to get an account, perhaps that'll give more results?

I tried mine.altpool.com also but it seems to be quite empty or the stats are not updating correctly. Have to try that new zapto.org address.
This is what I have got recently using:
cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://fpool1.zapto.org:19327 -I 11 --thread-concurrency 4800 -g 1 -w 256 -s 1 --expiry 1 --queue 0 -u 6hcayowvVpo7XKWLDXbrDoRkFjNS7tMBYU -p x
