feathercoin is slowly dying , its developer is incompetent , Litecoin's Dev team has already exposed this.

What evidence is there that its dy'ing exactly?

it got 51% attacked, the developer was helpless to stop it and had to essentially beg a real dev to add advanced checkpointing so it didnt die off instantly. Which means, its just gonna die slowly now. I mean, it doesnt even have its own genesis block, talk about failure to copy and paste correctly lol

Still don't see how any of that is evidence that it's dying.

Feathercoin realizes it's gonna fail and pivots. I'll go with Datacoin, which had this goal from the start and whose design is better suited for this purpose.

Bitcoin should absolutely not implement this. Blockchain bloat is already a problem.

Namecoin will beat datacoin. Any alt that serves a different purpose than bitcoin, and the purpose isn't to use a different hash, should always use double sha256 and 10 minute blocks so that it can feed off of the main network's (bitcoin's) computing power via merged mining. There's just no reason to force people to devote computing power to one or the other when they can devote their power to *both* with minimal cost. That fact, along with first-in brand recognition means Namecoin is, and rightfully should be, the rightful "datacoin".

If the purpose is decentralization and disruption and uncounterfeitable storage, feeding off of the biggest computing network should be part of the design.

In before CP or CP links are in the FC chain.

Haha, yeah, not sure how I feel about this. I need to do some more research on it.

Feathercoin has recently implemented 'Link' protocol that allows embedding data in the blockchain. That allows data to be shared anonymously and more importantly it can't be taken down.
You can read more on it here:

http://blockchain-link.com/#faq

What are your thoughts on that? Would you want it on Bitcoin too?
