Compared to LTC, FTC is premined 50%.

It wasn't premined... at least I'm pretty sure it wasn't.

But, But, But... I heard that word thrown around, and it was cool! I think I DDOSED the FTC Premine while I am at it!!!

<> It was not premined. It was hit somewhat hard and fast after release, but not premined.

I feel like the premine is a non-argument.

My current agenda is this, I have NO feathercoins, litecoins or bitcoins right now (I ordered an asicminer, but II doubt this affects btc prices at all). I know I can't argue with the hardcore feathercoin people and that's fine, I just want people that want to join feathercoin that it's a horrible investment and I'd probably just suggest btc since, in my opinion, bitcoins visibility will be the first to rise over these altcoins...

Every time I see someone refute an argument with a registration date, I lose faith in humanity a little more.

It seems to me like people are looking for Scrypt coins to get involved with. The ASIC miners are making the small time miners like us look for other options. FTC being one of the first Scrypt coins besides LTC gives it a niche.

Will you stupid noobs STFU for a while? Go educate yourself a bit before posting bullshits around, thanks!

Wow. Dunno where that came from.

Just because I just started posting doesn't mean I haven't been around either, lol. Cheesy

The level of fanboi-ism for freaking coins astounds me.

Noob? STFY? Stupid? Oh man, it's a high school throwback (insert: throwback music).

I admit it, I'm impressed. Forget the coins for a minute, how do you remain so angry at the world all day? Seriously, it's an accomplishment I could never reach.

Rather than the 'go educate yourself' nonsense which the kids like to throw around, how about helping? If the statement is wrong, why not simply direct it to a proper resource? I think I saw in an earlier post that the word needs hugs man.

Tenebrix, then Faircoin, then Litecoin, then BBQcoin, then Feathercoin.

So yeah it is one of the first five, but it could also be said it is one of the last so far not one of the first so far.

Currently the very first, Tenebrix is doing BY FAR THE BETTER JOB of accomplishing the purpose for which Scrypt was used in the first place, which is to BE A COIN FOR CPU MINERS.

Right now only Tenebrix, and presumably Fairbrix if anyone fixed its code so it would actually compile nowadays, is friendly to CPU miners, the others have been taken over by GPU miners.

FTC is great because it distracts people from hashing on the LTC network.

I'm not saying this to be a typical altcoin hater, but I don't get what makes it different from LTC other than it makes more coins per block... Can someone explain why anyone who believes in a scrypt based miner should use FTC over LTC?

If you like "your" coin, promote and support it.

The Feathercoin guys seem to do a very good job building up infrastructure. The Litecoin guys seem to be pretty lazy.

In the long run that might make the big difference.

It's like with Pepsi and Coke. Both are essentially the same. Yet Coke has a way bigger market share.

So which coin is Pepsi and which one is Coke in 10 years from now?

Regardless of who works harder for their altcoin. I mean LTC has been around long enough to prove its worth, I think it's a bit too early to call who builds more infrastructure, especially since I feel like since this is all open-source, it's the communities responsibility to make the currency better, not just the developers. the point is that it is decentralized, most of the updates I've seen with altcoins just mirror bitcoin updates anyway. Also I don't get this notion of "Hey we based this coin on yours, We're going to work harder on it and arrogantly speak highly of it." I agree with the innovation note posted above. I like litecoin for that reason, it kinda just happened to be a nice mesh of scrypt and of faster blocks. This is literally just taking litecoin, making 1 small change that actually makes 0 difference, and promoting the hell out of it. I was asking if I was missing something. If it really is just a greater block reward, then feathercoin is just another dime a dozen altcoin. I'd be happy to back another altcoin and I'm ok with multiple currencies, it just seems to me that this isn't #3 to bitcoins 1 and litecoins 2.

No, but they should either:
A) Solve a problem
B) Innovate

And if it's a Chinese coin: C) plagiarize

Maybe FTC does not stand for Feathercoin, but for Fuck The Chinese (we too can plagiarize)? Grin
