Slow down..you are jumping the gun.

FC does not even have a minor exchange yet, let alone have a major exchange acknowledge it.

Some well tested pools, a minor exchange or two and some time to see if FC pans out against its competitors.


Suggestion: Code or maybe set up a bounty to start a exchange for FC (A real exchange, not a Google spreadsheet).

After some time, get one of the smaller exchanges (example: Cryptocoin exchange (https://cryptonit.net/) to put FC on board.

Maybe after a few months to a year, if FC retains value and is actively traded one of the major exchanges will pick it up (Vircuex or BTC-E)


+1

I like the coin (of course, i like all coins)... but it needs time to mature.

No.

It was released yesterday, today will be all the FS: 100 million FC coins for 0.0001 BTC theads (already happening) and tomorrow will be the day no one remembers the coin any more.

Want something on BTCe? make something innovative.

Lol, there is one with 1000 FC for 0.5 BTC, price ppc is going at now.

I don't see a single point of new alt coins unless they're mega revolutionary thing.

Since the demand for FeatherCoins is rising I'd like to see this cryptocurrency on a stable exchange to ease our trading problems.


Some info on FeatherCoin

Feathercoin is a lite version of Litecoin using scrypt as a proof of work scheme.

2.5 minute block targets
subsidy halves in 3360k blocks (~4 years)
~336 million total coins
The rest is the same as bitcoin.

200 coins per block
2016 blocks to retarget difficulty





Main topic
I am releasing FeatherCoin now. I have been working on this for a while and now want to give it go in the big bad world.

This coin is a fork of Litecoin diving back to its 0.6.3 build. I am a supporter of Litecoin and will be following Coblee’s releases. The Litecoin team is working on a newer release and this project will move with them.

The joys of a Litecoin fork, are that we get to use Scrypt and follow a release designed for specifically for it.  There are a lot of Bitcoin forks but with the advent of ASIC miners we are starting to see how much havoc they can cause. To give us GPU miners shelter we need Scrypt based coins, as, in my opinion, Litecoin is currently the only valid one. Litecoin being as mature as it is makes it hard to join in the fun so let’s start with a new coin that follows Litecoin’s tradition.

FeatherCoin has a block reward of 200 and will have a total of 336 million coins. This makes it four times that of LiteCoin, this is the same position that LiteCoin was set against BitCoin. There is no private preming of this coin.

This coin is in beta like all cryptocoins.

GUI Version for Windows - http://www.feathercoin.com/FeatherCoin.zip
Windows Daemon - http://www.feathercoin.com/feathercoind.zip
Source Code - http://www.feathercoin.com/feathercoin-0.6.3.zip
GitHub - https://github.com/FeatherCoin/FeatherCoin

Default port is 9336, forward this port for better connections though it will work without it.
Default RPC port is 9337, this is the port is point your miners towards.
Difficulty changes every 2016 blocks.

Note: The difficulty is still quite low and there is an unexpected amount of hash power so it makes competition for new blocks fierce. To help with this set the expiry variable in cgminer to 1. This sets it to get new work every second instead of the default 120 seconds. Use the following to set expiry to 1.

--expiry 1 or -E 1

Update: The QT GUI has been updated with the correct FeatherCoin taskbar icon. Source code has now be uploaded to GitHub, link is above.
