Topic: Why I support Firecoin2 & Update on the state of the coin - page 2. (Read 1614 times)

Great coin love the name and new logo.  This one should go the distance

 

I'm cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs!

It was probably developed in less time than overnight.

Since when is the measure of a product it's development time?  Ask Butterfly Labs. 

The lack of a lengthy development time changes nothing in regard to the launch and mechanics of the coin. 

It was developed overnight..are you out of your mind?

+1 to this.

Give this a look people.  This here is a solid reliable coin.  This is not a mad dash coin or a mad dump coin.  Give it a look and you will not be disappointed.  This coin is almost an entirely community supported coin, many are for it and want support for it.  Hazard, the dev, has been kind enough to give us very reliable support on the client side.  Check it out and let us all know what to do to improve!  The FireCoin2 community will do our best to support any requests.

as soon as we have buyer, then we're good, unless... same the others, that's all 

I've been asked by a couple of people as to why I am supporting a coin so strongly when it was originally released as a "joke" to show how bad the new alt coins are.  (No, it isn't just because I have tons of these coins.  I do have quite a few of these coins though, but it's because I have mined it nonstop, and believe in it.) 

The reason is, that despite it's original intentions it turned out to be the most fair release of any of the new coins.  There was 0 premine.  It was not an orphan fest, where only those sitting on top of the nodes have a latency low enough to find any blocks. And it now has pretty good support in the community.  It has a very fast transaction time compared to some of the older coins as well, but not so fast as to cause crazy orphans and massive blockchain bloat. 

I am not a dev nor any kind of insider.  I am only a miner and supporter.

All of that being said here's the current state of the coin.  The coin has been completely rebranded as Firecoin2.  The "2" remained for no other reason than to keep the acronym FC2. 

Difficulty is currently 4.  The hashrate is moderately low however.  What this means, is that block times are taking roughly twice as long as they should.  I am throwing approximately 6 Mh/s at it, and am getting tons of blocks quite regularly.  If you don't have that kind of power, there are numerous pools up and running now.  But if you do, solo mining is still very effective. 

If you missed the original launch which was only two days ago, don't fret.  You can get tons of blocks now with the hash rate so low.  Below is the information you need to get started.  Also, if you would rather just buy the coins, they are being sold relatively cheap on my google docs exchange:  https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-firecoin-exchange-google-docs-207514
