Topic: Feathercoin [FTC] - page 29. (Read 460621 times)

Biggest reason is segwit activation. Other reason are that developer is back with newer improvements and the ridiculously low valuation in comparison to other coins. I can see this coin at a $1 in a year so...

Feathercoin sometimes seems slow or quiet...but it's a steady and stable coin.

There's been newer focus on the Anti-Asic technologies like NeoScrypt as well as a focus on the older blockchains that have sucessfully been running for a while now.

Feathercoin was released in 2013 which is many many moons ago in the crypto world.

Feathercoin recently had a new release of 0.13 and the original founder has rejoined the team after a little break.


There are great things ahead as we move to Activate SegWit and move forward with our own lightning network and DAPPS.

I have recently seen a lot of positive comments, tweets and articles about Feathercoin. I remember that years ago I owned some coins but sold since of little progress. Is there something new or why are so many focus on Feathercoin again? Just want to understand and (maybe) invest (again).

The pool opened very recently.  We will be updating the site shortly.

thanks a lot, I did not know about this official pool. Why is it not listed on the main FTC page - how to start - mining ?

https://pool.feathercoin.com   will always run the latest approved production code.  currently running 0.13

Agreed, it shall moon soon! maybe a month

which pool have the update to 0.13.0 installed?

v0.8.7.4 should be compatible as it doesn't reject blocks with nVersion > 2. Well, until the new features like SegWit get activated.

It is made truly, I am surprised to this event. If to speak seriously, then already long ago the project goes further and develops. Coins even bargain on a top the exchanges and I think them waits for success in the future. Though you should not think concerning future price. Give just will are patient and we will wait.

New Pool for you guys feel free to stop by and check us out 

Feathercoin 0.13.0.0 has been released. It is a mandatory update for anyone on a version prior to 0.9.6.2 as on block 2,120,000 it will start minting Version Bit blocks which will be rejected by old version of Feathercoin. Please make sure you have updated to 0.13 before block 2,120,000 which will be minted roughly in 17 days on the 8th March.

Download the Feathercoin 0.13 from the first page of this thread, the homepage of the official website or from the GitHub release page.

The only reason I think this, is the current valuation doesn't make sense to me. How can an established old coin with an active developer have the same marketcap as total shitcoins that haven't had development in months?
Either the market expects bushstar to go work for another coin again, or I'm missing a piece of the puzzle.

Any reason why you think this?

I'm certainly hopeful as I'm mining it (and have been for sometime) with my balance slowly accumulating.

I found it to be fairly stable throughout the last few months of volatility which was a nice change from most of the alts!

This coin is going to explode soon! 

They did the same with Ethereum Classic before.

Yes...and they go against their own policy because they listed Bitcoin Cash (BCH) which shares the same genesis block as BTC.



I have messaged them multiple times and have tired to get an answer out of them but they just refuse to respond.

They insist on a unique genesis block for every coin. FTC shares the genesis block with LTC. That's a weird demand, really.
