that is always what has both frustrated me while amazing me at the same time. bitcoin and the resulting altcoins both have given people the ability to live out from underneath the thumb of governments and banks in general. Instead of embracing this most people are just concerned with profitability as it relates to fiat. Further, when it comes to trading and etc., people are too quick to give away the freedom that they have by giving banking information in order to be “verified”. To me this is the epitome of stupidity. Instead i would prefer simply to be able to use my coins to purchase things directly and from a distance. The first coin to solve this issue of purchasing power + anonymity will basically win the battle in its entirety. That is why i liked feathercoin to start with. it is the people involved with this community and their passion which if properly directed could conceivably achieve this goal. The problem is all communities start out with the best of intentions but eventually they lose their drive or their drive becomes misdirected. This one so far is leading all others based solely upon the implementation of ideas. That one fact makes it exciting and i hope to see more. In the meantime i would like to see more details about this alliance of coins because as of this moment just going upon the statement of 51% attack mitigation, i do not feel that is enough of a reason.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. For me personally, the diversity of the people that support the coin excites me. Whether your someone that focused on providing a alt solution to the Federal Reserve or simply someone that wants to provide coin relates services for your business, there’s a place for you at Feathercoin.
As far as misdirection, as the numbers grow, there will certainly be quite a few competing opinions on the direction. In my political life, I’ve helped develop massive grassroots initiatives. All I can promise is effort, nothing more.
51% has VERY little to do with the idea of the partnership. In my professional life, I’ve helped work details between IT organizations to share resources and promotion. I’m simply transferring this experience to the crypto community. Who knows what the future holds, I like our chances.
