Topic: Feathercoin [FTC] - page 31. (Read 460641 times)

Hi folks,

I've been mining for a while this coin and now I see the hash rate of the network has fallen from the usual 6GH/s to a value of 4GH/s.

Do you have any idea about why is this happening?

Hi

I downloaded the feathercoin wallet latest one.

Its been stuck syncing with 36 weeks behind for the past 2-3 days,  I tried re-opening wallet a few times still no luck and letting it sit for hours.  May 7th 2017.

Anybody else stuck?

How do i fix this?

Thanks

What updates you need??

Any update  on this coin? 

what is a port number and address for feathercoin.miningpoolhub.com ?

No it does not.

Does Feathercoin have masternodes?

BTC = 16.8M of 21M coins (80% circulation)
          — hella diff
          — $$$$ Death Star asic farms
          — 3-star Michelin filet — can't buy for love, only money honey

LTC = 54.8 of 82M coins (65%)
          — extreme diff
          — $$ large asic farms
          — Outback steak (w/bloomin onion, of course)

FTC = 188 of 336M coins (56%)
          — meh diff
          — ¢¢ casual gpu mineability
          — Whopper Junior meal

If anybody can mine FTC on the kids' gameboxes, FTC will get anybody valuation — wallet/crypto technology advantages notwithstanding.  

Well not really near the price of LTC but since BTC, LTC and FTC are pretty much similar lets take this as an example:

BTC = 13703 / 16 = 702 USD
LTC = 242 / 4 = 60 USD
FTC = 0.489 USD

LTC is like 12x cheaper than BTC, meanwhile FTC is 120x cheaper than LTC. Something doesn't add up. Imagine having some news outlets talking about FTC. It's just waiting to blow up like LTC.

People just don't know much about FTC and that's the main reason, just give it a little push and wait for an avalanche.

yes it's a good idea to buy some coins now that it is below 50 cents and hold for a long term, we can see feather next to ltc in price in the future or at least reach the $10.

The creator of FTC Peter Bushnell (Twitter: Bushtar) has returned to continue working on FTC.

Litecoin was like stucking under 5 USD for like 3 years and exploded to 250 USD.

I would rather be surprised not seeing FTC surpass 5 USD within the next 2 years. In the pool of shitcoins FTC seems rather solid and legit.

Transactions run smooth with currently no fees ofc.

IMO it just lacks popularity and the option to buy some. The easiest way currenty imo was to transfer ETH->Cryptopia(no reg restrictions)->BTC->FTC.

But once it gets some popularity and easier options to buy it I don't see any barriers to invest for now.

The next halving is 3.5 years away,  the outlook on this coin is very long term. It wouldn't hurt to throw a small percentage of your liquidity in.

I do not know if it makes sense to buy this coin for a long time? For six months, a year? Is it too late to do this?

It's litecoins little brother because the coinbase was forked from litecoin. It originally used scrypt before switching to neoscypt in anticipation of ltc ASICs. If the price looks stagnant to you,  you need to zoom out to 3 months.  Nothing but gains since October.

Good. We don't need haters.

U're right! This coin seems no future. Established for 4 years and still stuck in ~3k5 sts!

i just saw FTC on bittrex and it looks stagnan for some while i just decided to do a little reseach here and see what the community says about it ...but im not too convinced tho......... read its lite coins brother tho but i dont see in what sense?

Bushstar on Jan 2nd:

"Today is the first day that I start work on the Feathercoin 0.13 client, I’m very happy to be back in Feathercoin development as I’ve been away from it and crypto in general for quite a while and only just returned last summer.

To quickly update those who do not know where I’ve been I went to work for Hullcoin over two years ago under contract, the contract did not allow me to work on other projects, they hit a funding hiatus in Summer 2017 breaching my contract allowing me to return. Afterwards I contributed to the 0.9.6.2 release getting NeoScrypt to work properly for Scrypt hashing, update getwork for NeoScrypt, restore CheckProofOfWork with NeoScrypt profile as well as a few other changes. The rest of the time I’ve been working on commissioned projects to pay the bills, as well as progress UFO development, I was brought in to work on UFO in 2014 and have now adopted it as my own. UFO uses NeoScrypt and I took on commissioned work for Guncoin because it also uses NeoScrypt, it is an excellent updated version of Scrypt and it deserves to get more attention.

During the last half a year I’ve earned enough to cover myself for the next quarter of a year, at the end of that period we would hope to have a bigger user base and the kind of success that demonstrates the merits technical development. This will help us crowd fund to bring in additional skill sets and progress the tech in multiple directions at once or secure direct investment, there are good ideas out there but to see them implemented we need to be able to pay for developers time. These are concerns for later as we can now progress with the next client which will bring us up-to-date and drive development forward.

Feathercoin 0.13 is the client that I am starting on today, that version of the Bitcoin codebase has all the soft fork logic for the IsSuperMajority and Version Bits methods for soft forks. With the 0.13 client released we will be gaining the soft forks for OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY, CHECKSEQUENCEVERIFY and everyone’s favourite, Segregated Witness. We certainly do not need the increased capacity that comes with SegWit but this will allow us to use other tech built on top of it like the Lightning Network which I believe is currently in the RC1 stage.

Once we have 0.13 and all soft forks enabled we can follow Bitcoin’s codebase more closely to keep us at the very front of developments, pursue other technology like Lightning Network and find some unique solutions, some suggestions have been made like adding Smart Contracts, this is an area that needs its own investigation as there are simple and complex solutions to this request.

There are many other changes between the current stable 0.9.x release and 0.13 the most notable of are the following.

Headers first synchronization
Dynamic transaction fees
Hierarchical Deterministic Key Generation
REST API interface
Improved signing security
Native Watch-only mode
Separate feathercoin-tx binary
Memory usage optimization
Stream isolation for Tor
Disable wallet transaction broadcast
Block file pruning
Signature validation using libsecp256k1
Notifications through ZMQ
NODE_BLOOM service bit
Wallet Pruning
Opt-in Replace-by-fee transactions
Direct headers announcement
Compact Block support
