It creates a new chain so people have another chance at being an early adopted and making a fuckton. I know I've already made a ton from being one of the first to mine it.

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?

They should work alongside each other.

if they both run scrypt, then why use one over the other? are they comepting for the same hashing power?

Should we have one central cryptocurrency?

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

If they solve a true problem, would it not, overtime, obsolete the one before it? Same with innovation.

I agree, both A and B should happen, but in the absense of that, haivng alternatives is a good idea IMHO.

Now how many is enough? That is the million dollar question.

If you take a look at most markets, 2 entities seems to be too little for innovation, and my favorite number is three, so there you go Smiley

My prediction is there will be an orignal, a faster coin, and a proof of stake coin. With the proof of stake coin probably being faster than the original coin.
