Awesome… can we move this to a dedicated ‘Tools’ section of the forums? Don’t want to loose this in the noise!

Maybe something you can give a +1 of -1 to a comment.

Google MochiCoins, also PyraBang. #WarWounds

I find it hard to believe such people so ignorant can become so familiar with cryptos. Apparently “Firecoin2” has had a fairer release than Feathercoin when it not only copied the it code for code, but even the way it was released. And yet, it supposedly has been released the most perfect way it could be lol. Guess it just goes to show how butthurt some people are about not adopting Feathercoin earlier :)

I’ve learned not to argue with hardcore crypto nerds, I see far too much sunshine to fit in. :)

pool.maeh.org is updated. Machine brought back to life.

Been hearing about that for awhile and keeping up to date with it, D-day today. ^^ ~

Yeah :) just wanted the community to know that bitcoin is going through similar things and not to worry haha.

I’m open to the idea, I would just need to have a few people spend time watching over that section. The flaming nonsense cesspool attitude of some of the alt crypto forums is just unbearable. I’m sure we can find a reasonable balance here at Feathercoin forum. I will touch base with Bushstar about some of these ideas in the next few days. Obviously with the hard fork, he has quite a bit on his plate.

I believe so too. I don’t think there is any problem with reasoned and honest opinion in a discussion about the crypto-scene. Slagging off and derogatory comments, in any reasonable forum, are always cause for post removal and reiteration of the T&C or warnings as such.

They don’t have to be mutually exclusive. And as mentioned, if it brings traffic to the forums, and therefore the coin, it can only be good.

I’m sure there is passion for a whole slew of alt-coins that some members already have, and I don’t see them with a desire to beat others with their opinions, so limiting their discussions would mean they will go elsewhere… Definitely I can see room for the topics :)

What would be great is something like this http://www.steambits.com/ as well.

FEATHERCOIN!!

I already see Firecoin and Sunrisecoin.

This speaks volumes about us. We’re being noticed.

For a ‘dead’ coin, they certainly talk about us quite a bit over there. :)

People always parody successes

Cheers mate!

Great, thanks for clarifying.

I remember how exciting it was when we broke 100. :)

We welcome all that want to contribute to the collective, oops, I mean community. :)

[quote]- I still need to create a website (any help would be greatly appreciate) to host the youtube version of ‘What is Feathercoin’ at www.whatisfeathercoin.com[/quote]

You could create a Tumblr page called whatisfeathercoin and upload it there then forward the domain to [url=http://whatisfeathercoin.tumblr.com]whatisfeathercoin.tumblr.com[/url].

Update : Well I went ahead and set it up since I’ve setup many Tumblr pages I could get it done before I could finish typing all this up. lel

I’ll slap a new theme up on it shortly.

I can turn over full control to whoever you like, or I’d be happy to maintain it as well. Then I could stop pimping FTC on my Tuck Fheman blog so much, which is kind of alienating my non-cryptocoin followers. ;)

Fantastic!

Quite a bit more forum members to add over the next few days!

I’m trying to jump ahead of difficulty so that once the algo “detects” a trend, it chokes the extreme diffs at the 3rd and 4th quarter round. I’m not trying to predict the exact difficulty, but rather “head 'em off at the pass”.

Also I did originally try a geometric version, but it would require 2 diffferent sets of weights for increasing and decreasing trends, and then what do you do about the zigzags which can seem level but may actually be extreme, and the weights were all over the place depending on the simulated trend. The averages get better with each new quarter round input.

We could do 504 instead of 2016, but then we would have to sample it every 126 blocks.

In summary, the algorithm sacrifices perfect transaction rate to chase off wham bam thank you ma’am miners. It takes a bite out of the tx rate at times, and sometimes loosens up.

My approach goes like this:
First input, we assume equal chance of staying at the same hashrate or returning to the previous value.
Second input, we may go back one or forward one.
Third input, we may stay or we may skip one forward.
Fourth input, holy crap things are a bit hot! We’re going to hit the next one and maybe the next one after that.

So we assume the worst ramp or drop (defined as consistent multiplier for each 504 averaged over 2016). Then we use that as a template and plug in the actual values. The result is that it stalks quietly when things are going well, and leaps at an attack or flood fairly quickly.

Honestly the length of time it is taking to confirm a transaction will make kill the coin, the difficulty is way too high, it should be more dynamic in nature, pity it could not be proportional to hashrate network

This will corrected fairly quickly. In the meantime, we’re building services and support for the coin. Feel free to poke around and find a project that looks fun.

It’s going to be even more funnier when the coins is worth something of real value.
[/quote]

If you think that is funny just wait for fork2 :o
Maybe some opaqueness could be added to our source. :D

I agree with this. If you don’t set a standard there are no expectations for people.
