I thought I would let you know how’t went,
it was a little iffy at first but after the ice was broken
went very well, asked for his telephone number and address, wasn’t really necessary, because of the 500 positive feedbacks/sales.
My experience with eBay and all the other trading sites, has also been excellent, dealing with
them for years, bought and sold 100’s of items if not thousand’s at one stage sending money through the post,
stopped that after two registered letters weren’t received.
Basically, when your are trading person to person respect is of the upmost importance and be patient,
be very polite (if you lose it you just might) and keep it together, persevere
A trade on eBay can take up to 14 days (someone is sick, goes on holiday etc) you are dealing with people.
So for me the coin audience might be a little different (mostly young,intelligent, male) the same values apply.

Thank you, dude !

I have no feather yet.

Surely everyone is aware of the video on weusecoins.com?

[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Um63OQz3bjo#ws]What is Bitcoin?[/url]

It’s pretty good for explaining in layman’s terms.

Perhaps an adaptation of this video with something tacked onto the end touting Feathercoin as the best of the bunch, as it has a community backing.

so says the self labeled “Biker” . . .lol

I still ride and have this 85 EVO 4 spd kicker tossed together from piles of parts and never quite finished. Seat is still strapped on with a nylon camping strap lol, but it’s fun!

Then there is the never ending 99 Soft Tail project I hope to ride before I die, mixed in with the pop can solar collector project, the redesigned rocket stove in the making, the gf’s car with the spun bearings (3 years of trying to explain how oil in the trunk won’t prevent this), the compost operation, the whole collective-effort thing, geo dome greenhouses and local growers produce market (which I just had a epiphany about joining with the feathercoin thing), ohh . . . and now add a feathercoin mining operation. . .never have understood the word “bored”? Conversely I do understand the word “manic” haha

Merry Christmas all
~//~

Totally agree, keep up the great flow of creativity! Ignore the noise.
~//~

I agree. 5 minutes for 5 FTC or something similar. Big projects require contracts.

Rep for that post and that research. Nice work. . .when I grow up I want to be as smart as you. Or at least know how to look at the block chain like that lol keep us updated
Could this be someone just breaking up a larger account into 3 smaller ones? If I had 500,000 BTC I would do that

peace

Is this something that is currently being worked on? It would be a game changer if merchants could embed a “pay with feathercoin” button on their website like with bitpay…
[/quote]coinpayments.net?
[/quote]
coin payments does not convert FTC to Fiat tho, like bitpay does.

Let’s see:

576+/- blocks are mined in a 24 hour period.
We’ve been around the 5.5 million kh/s network mark.

You’d need to find 2.5 blocks a day to make 500 FTC.
Solo or pool mining, you’re looking at 20,000 kh/s +/-

You’d need 23 R290X cards running optimal at 880 kh/s - based on a quick hardware comparison google search.
If you are lucky enough to find them for purchase, it would cost you $14,500 USD.
This doesn’t include the PSU’s, Motherboards, Risers, Drive or Pi + Frames and Electricity.

I’m guessing hardware alone would be in the $18,000 range.

At .27 USD cents per FTC - it would take you [considering difficulty stays the same, as well as the price; you have no hardware issues, electricity is free etc etc] 133 days to break even.

OR

You can buy the FTC outright [this is assuming you are going to hold until price goes up] via BTC or direct from someone using escrow, or Bittylicious.

There is no real easy way of mining FTC at such a volume - and depending on your position, it would be more cost efficient to just buy it outright.

Nice, but you could have left a forum tab up top for easiness :)

Still wondering what the team is doing to get this done. Has there been sent a mail to btc-e to get a ftc/usd on the exhange?!
[/quote]

Which team is that again?

If you’re waiting for someone to send BTC-e an email saying, “You should add FTC/USD pairs.”, then don’t wait. Just do it yourself. If everyone did this, they might listen. A hundred small voices is much MUCH much louder than one “official” one.
[/quote]

It’s more likely the team (people who actively have a role around here and make decisions) gives a go for such thing or do it themselves or it might get messy if everyone did their own things.

Link will be tested by Kickstart contributors this year, targeting an official January release for Feathercoin. At that time, I’m planning 2 more Kickstart projects: Enhancements for Link, and a Twitter Tip Bot. More details will be provided closer to the events, like the list of enhancements and how the tip bot will function.

Actually over 50 000 FTC, after some speculation on BTC-e and mining on single HD 7950 ;) I’m mining only for giving a little bit of heat to my room :)

What you guys think is going to happen with BTC and FTC the next month-6 months. Would be nice to see what other people think.
[/quote]

both will be higher than they are now.

It’s not being named in the video, but the coin itself on the image they show is next to the big Bitcoin. Yay, although they might give people whom are not into the crypto’s that the alternates are actually a scam.

It does, but I’m looking more for a bottle of Moet & Chandon.

If anyone is interested in protein and vitamin products from myprotein.com, give me a shout. I can accept FTC payments.
