Topic: Feathercoin [FTC] - page 45. (Read 460705 times)

A roadmap is something used to communicate your vision and set targets for both internal and external stakeholders.

You need targets to achieve big things. Coaches and Athletes set targets. Entrepreneurs and startups set targets. Teachers set targets for students. If you think a coin can just exist and people will back you, think again. Using your car metaphor, if you think in the automotive industry, once a car manufacturer is able to create a car and believe that that is enough for people to continue to buy you(over the competition), think again.

Car manufacturers are constantly tweaking, upgrading, re-designing to make sure they've got all the latest gadgets and gizmos and are up to date with mechanical/safety/design and cosmetic standards. The car has been around for over 100 years and is still constantly improving. A crypto currency which has existed for 4 years cannot simply say that's enough. There are now over 800 Crypto currencies.

As the others mentioned, this coin is not dead. At around the 200 rank (market cap) this coin has relatively high daily volume (over $1m every day). The developers are also constantly working and have their minds open to future implementation of segwit(although some are reluctant)

I think most, if not all of the investors/backers would just like to know their funds are in the right place and that that place would allow for their funds to be part of a mainstream or widely used payment system.

Very unknown field for you wezzy. Features are for importing. You do not have ready coin for features...read more to learn then write.

Why does this thing needs a roadmap? If you like monero features then buy monero and stop trying to revive a dead coin, I dont see a reason why bushstar will develop features in something that wasn't first released for that.

Is like trying to force your car dealer to build now an airplane because your car is now 'not enough'

A definition that doesn't include trading volume or developers I guess.

Again, whats your definition of dead?

On any given day FTC is also blowing away the coins ranked around it in volume- that's got to reach a breaking point eventually and push it up to coins that do similar trading volume.

FTC at new all time low in market cap ranking i believe. #204 on coin market cap. Gotta be a good buy time you'd think.

yeah the price is cheap, but then the coin is dead 

Now BTC 4600

Things take time. While Bush was working on other projects the remaining team did their best to maintain Feathercoin. Now that he is back he can start working on different aspects and projects but none of them will happen tomorrow.

When will see some new developments on this coin? I have a bag that I'm dying to see blow up. I need to send my kids to college with this 

I can confirm that he actively working on Feathercoin Development.

is there any confirmation that Bushstar will actively working on FTC development, it will great if he give the announcement. Is there any ETA when FTC 0.11.x release or will pass that version and go to develop 0.13.x. Sorry for my english and thank you for any answer below this post.

Absolutely agree and why I stick around. Keep the coin in great shape, mine-able, advance in time along with Bitcoin.

That said, I'm wondering what thoughts are on BCC vs BTC vs whatever happens?  Some sort of non-segwit chain of Bitcoin is going to survive this fall. It might make sense for FTC to have long term goals that work towards cohesion with BCC since FTC like BCC is going to stick with a simpler code closer to Satoshi's vision.

In time there will surely be implementations of lightning network and cross chain transactions using BCC (or whatever non segwit survives). A long term goal of trustless FTC to BCC to FTC transactions is realistic if its honestly years away.

Good News! I think it's time to buy some cheap FTC!

FTC had bullruns also without any particurarly reason. But it is not about bullruns, we would like to have stable uptrending coin with features and potential for real world usability

Finally someone who gets it. Thanks.

Alhough it is relatively easy to implement some cool-looking features, much harder to maintain such a code for a longer time.
I have seen so many projects followed by bull runs that are not now even usable now.


Roadmap is a good thing provided that it is honest and realistic. Far as I know the goal for the team is now to provide continuous maintenance and to head up with bitcoin development while keeping original Feathercoin promises (faster transactions and mineability with a customer range multipurpose hardware). The first is being provided. The latter is being developed and may open up the gate to the next stage.

Shouldn't be problem if you or someone else can persuade VCs into this adventure. It also takes a whole team of high skilled devs and a year or two of time.

I agree.

Having started my own businesses as well as in my time working for the man... I can't stress enough, the importance of targets. A roadmap will set clear targets out. The team right now are extremely restricted with human resources so I understand timeframes may not be able to be set.

But like I said Smart goals or targets are always required. Specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and timely.

If you need help, advertise it and we can all pitch in to spread the word. We can't however, dawdle and crawl along while everyone else has the hunger and competitive edge to continue innovating and marketing. Like I said, we cannot exist to merely exist. We must compete.

I think feathercoin has some really good fundamentals and has been around long enough to prove its worth. Only a couple things are lacking and I wish for the dev team to be more open minded to some suggestions. I wish the team luck and will help where I can.
