Just wondering if there was ever a Firecoin for Firecoin 2 to earn that name?

And I didn't mine FC2 because the author stated it was joke coin.

Just kept to the FeatherCoin2 = FC2 standard.

yeah that seems to be the general consensus Sad

Firecoin2 initially began as a Feathercoin2, a joke coin created to poke fun at all the recent altcoin releases. However, after a surprisingly smooth launch, and some community support, it has been decided that this coin will relaunch as Firecoin2.

taken from original FC thread
also to clarify, there was no actual relaunch. just a name switch.

Thank you for a far more accurate and fair judgement. I respect his opinion, but I defend FC2 as being deceptive at any point and myself as I was accused as being a scoundrel.

I took back my accusation of all firecoin2 supporters being scoundrels.

well NOW you did. don't have to come in all guns blazing everytime Wink

We've been trying to point out this coin garnered a good, solid support base which is unusual for the chaotic nature of alts. Read the firecoin2 topic and see for yourself.

What I don't get is there are so many coins to choose to support, but you guys support a coin with such a shady start. It doesn't make sense to me - especially a direct copy of feathercoin - nothing changed.

I agree. Thought with what support we had we could turn it around.

Nerds! Wow, no wonder the general public has a hard time taking this seriously.

Everybody has a little nerd in them in some fashion or another -

Geeks are great, nerds get angry over the most ridiculous nonsense.

I think everyone does.... Guy accidentally bumped his car into some guys wife in a parking lot the other day, apologized and was then beaten to death by the husband in sf. at least what we do is a bit more harmless....

The worst part of this is that people was actually mining it. What has this forum become ? Seriously.
There are interesting altcoins going on, and this forum _was_ a great place to talk about them. Now it's full of people promoting their _useless_ coins.

Couldn't we create a new subsection where all these people can spam ?

yeah basically. We tried to revitalize it as it garnered support. us deceptive insiders then gave thousands away in promotion.

Which you had plenty of because serious miners ignored the launch. Followed up with a firecoin2 exchange. Brilliant!

and exchange is a obvious next step for any alt coin......

It's pretty amusing to see all the FC2 promoters come in here and try to defend the coin lol. Pathetic really. OP is just stating his opinion. I will agree with him that it does seem to be a pump and dump at best. I will, however, in all fairness disagree with OP's assertion of the coin being deceptive. It was clearly stated in the official thread by the developer that he would change the name in the future. As an investor, I don't see this coin having a future just from the name alone. The 2 in the name communicates to me that it's another attempt of a previous failed coin. The miner in me knows this is not true, however, the investor sees things differently. And investors are the main proponent in the future of a coin.

Thank you for a far more accurate and fair judgement. I respect his opinion, but I defend FC2 as being deceptive at any point and myself as I was accused as being a scoundrel.
