Actually, the number of posts does mean something. And you have already touched on one of the differentiators, the community.

Technically, there may be less to differentiate between say, LTC and FTC, although FTC does have things which LTC does not, such as the much more reactive difficulty retarget mechanism. However, that is missing the point of the fact we are very much holding up the community as a differentiator.

As far as I am aware, the FTC community is unique as a diverse but closeknit group of people who will help each other in many aspects of life, from mining crypto to drinking home produced wine. It is a community who have taken financial loss rather than drop other members of the community during the difficulty traps and attacks. We are a community who welcome new members, who listen to them, and encourage them to make Feathercoin the coin they think it should be.

We are a community made up of 1337 coders who can make things like LINK happen, who can code genuinely useful software like the SMS payment service and who will argue passionately about the coin and it’s features, not because they are trolling but because they care.

We’ve come through a lot as a community in a very short time despite having some serious forces ranged against us and having been faced with very determined efforts to destroy the coin and the community.

The fact that we’re still here while so many others are not is a differentiator, and that is entirely down to this group of normal people who make up the community.

So I ask you, in the style of Monty Python’s “What ELSE have the Romans ever done for us?”: What makes you think the community is not a good enough differentiator?

So on top of all that self ownership stuff you now are are telling me government lie?

History has shown this to be the case.

Following Justabit’s comments I want add that I don’t necessarily think NXTCoin is a scam because no proof of work is present. My point was that that chart was misleading because the way they arrive at market cap is to multiply the current exchange value by the total supply of coins.

Well look, if all you have to do is enter a number in to a database followed by an announcement on a forum then yeah sure, we can play this game if we want and get ourselves up some meaningless leaderboard. But it’s hardly a measurement of anything very interesting and doesn’t help us solve any real problems.

What’s important is the way coins are distributed and if NXTCoin are distributing their coins in a way that is considered fair by the market then they will earn their place. If the market thinks the lottery system of PoW is better then those coins will our survive the rest. It looks like NXT have given away their coins as bounties which is what Bushstar did with his early mined coins.

We should welcome all experimentations with full transparency of the founders in place.

Seems like a lot of the articles on there are from coindesk.com maybe from a feed?

such as [url=http://virtualmining.com/bitcoin-can-now-buy-you-breakfast-in-glasgow/]http://virtualmining.com/bitcoin-can-now-buy-you-breakfast-in-glasgow/[/url]

and [url=http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-can-now-buy-breakfast-glasgow/]http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-can-now-buy-breakfast-glasgow/[/url]

Could be. It doesn’t hurt though. Anything news related is important if it’s shared and not altered.

btc-e price is locked in orderbook.
And it is also paralyzed by need to buy BTC first (it is really hard for whale to buy 1000BTC to back the buy side as BTC can fall any minute…)
Unless btc-e add FTC/USD or you all start selling or buying at same time nothing significant will happen…
[/quote]

because of that, FTC price held stable even after a major BTC crash :D

i say this is true

[quote]I am gonna go with option 1. If those asics do hit market your coins will increase in value greatly. Now is the time to mine or buy coins. I have 5 MH between 8 r9 280x’s i have a 9th one im not using if you wanna buy it?[/quote]

Why would coin value go up with asic mining ?

The production would go up, the costs would be lower and that could lead to lower prices also as the profit margin changes.

Infrastructure. The more hashing power a particular coin has, the better it’s chances for wide adoption. It’s all about the transaction processing. The stronger the network, the more attractive the technology becomes.

Cool site, +Rep.

keep up the good work guys :)

Yeah they had the same glitch with Peercoin a few days ago for about a full day - seem common.

We’ve gone over this wikipedia issue a few times. We can’t do much about it because it would be a conflict of interest for Ruth, Peter or me to edit the page. In fact they would probably be very suspicious of anyone on this forum editing the page. They are very very used to this kind of thing.

The biggest problem was that we didn’t have anyone willing to do the work. I have never made a wikipedia article before, I wouldn’t know where to start. And rather than go back and forth with having our page vandalised and having it marked for deletion with false accusations I feel it is better to just leave it until we have someone who feels capable of doing it up to their standards.

The difference between building a solution in-house and having a solution worked on by Coinbase, likely [i]gratis[/i] in exchange for all those delicious, delicious transaction fees.
