Keep your FTC mining rigs optimised - take some mining tips from this thread (it is for ETH, but you should be able to get some handy tips for FTC):

Then, after the Hard Fork, the new neoscrypt mining software was not optimised for 290's or 390's - an innocent mistake.

It wasn't optimised for anything. The hard fork was delayed already. The initial OpenCL miner produced something like 150KH/s for an R9 280X. No CUDA miner, it appeared a few months later. It was private OpenCL kernels and fast CUDA miners which hurt NeoScrypt OpenCL mining in 2015.


I was talking about the sgminer release where the 290's and 390's produced an identical hash output as a 280x.

But, yes it was just generally a mess on pretty much every GPU Alt.

X11 was exactly the same, everyone GPU Alt was in the same situation.


It could have gone better yes, but I think it got managed kinda well for such a pioneer-thing, Ghostlander coded up a new Algo and included it very well into the FTC code. - The Miningsoftware wasnt as close as good. Sadly. After all the switch was a good choice, mining with GPU is still possible, no ASICs coming anytime soon.


Yelp, it has worked out very well Smiley

looks a bit quiet around this thread now, is there a feathercoin slack?

Slack has been abandoned a year ago when a group of community members tried to take over the development in a somewhat aggressive way. Slack was a rather uncensored battlefield. When the argument was over, the current development team left it.


Well,

Q1 (1st quarter) 2015 and Q2 2015 was pretty atrocious for people who invested in ASIC and GPU mining hardware, across all the crypto-currencies.

However, it was a great time to be buying crypto-currencies with cash - rates of return over 6 months to 2 years now look pretty epic Smiley

A breakdown in relations between developers and the people who invested heavily in mining hardware should have been foreseen.

Then, after the Hard Fork, the new neoscrypt mining software was not optimised for 290's or 390's - an innocent mistake.

Naturally, people who can afford too buy expensive GPUs, are also going to be the most likely to not need to sell FTC for electricity or have less interest in ROI rates. And, will be most likely to buy more FTC for cash, rather than clutter up their homes with extra mining hardware.

Mining Optimisations, should always benefit those people who are least interested in selling an ALT.

On top of that, private miners were being sold across the Forums, which did nearly double the official mining software hashrate - this led to a massive dumping culture amongst those people with access to that private mining software.

2015 was a messy year, across all the crypto-currencies - except for those people buying quality cryptos with cash!

One idea I had, which I posted on another thread was: how to finance an FTC developer fund!

The Developers could create a special donations FTC miner.

E.G. people using it would mine for 72 seconds each hour too a pool to create a development fund for FTC (like donating 2% to a development fund).

Perhaps, put some optimisations onto FTC miner.

Will help - long-term to finance network upgrades and new implementations Smiley

+1 wit this 'matter'........ Totally agree..... espicially for d 'RnD' itself.....    ;3)

Also, is there a way for NSGminer to be 'acceptable' at d best multi-pool - NiceHash......?
is dat NSGminer is an 'official' miner for 'neoscrypt' algo..........?
PLez do correct me if im wrong........

Thanks for everyone who took an interest in the Feathercoin / Cryptocurrency - Wallet Guide I posted on / pushed to Github.

All the main updates have been done and a re ordering of the guide and improvement of the Table of Contents. The guide was getting long, so that will hopefully, make it easier to read as intended purpose as a new user guide.

There are still some minor tweaks that are awaiting final agreement on release versions functionality (which are in turn relent on agreement of schedule and content of possible forks)

Check out the Guide :

Current  Feathercoin-qt 0.9x. series "Beta Test" / Development version.

I've been working on a cryptocurrency / Feathercoin wallet guide, to go with the next FTC release. The new release has a new set of FTC "material design" flat icons which have been used for the screen shots.

The guide is applicable to Bitcoin-qt or other wallets (0.9.x).

Any comments or issues gratefully received.

https://github.com/wrapperband/FeathercoinWalletGuide

That good news, you can, actually, still use the current Windows.exe on Ubuntu 16.04LTS via Wine1.8.

Install Wine, here is a youtube tutorial on installing Wine on Ubuntu 16.04LTS

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=of1EXRC1xpA

Set "Configure Wine" to operate as Windows 7 emulator.

Download and extract the Windows OS Feathercoin wallet QT and open with Wine1.8.

To find the Wallet, for Cold Storage.

Press "Control H" to reveal hidden folders in the "Home" folder.

Go into the "Wine" folder and go "drive_C" folder and then too "Users" and then too your PC install name and find the "application data" folder.

The current Feathercoin Window.exe actually runs better on Ubuntu 16.04LTS, then it runs on Windows 7 64bit.
