what is an example of a SWEET?..incentive?

Something lik this:
http://coin.furuknap.net/bitcoin-and-litecoin-mining-book/

Yes instantly on second account–so now i guess i got 2 accounts --1 basically unusable and inactive due to no ability to get the activation link resent. i can not even access the account until this email link is confirmed.
but i have already posted a item in the marketplace on second account–so good to go there :)

Is there a place we set up for payments to go to? or how does the auction know where to send the funds to?

I recently sold an item on the market and I just emailed the winner my wallet address, few hours later I had it in my wallet. Not sure about the escrow service, but direct payment can just be an address in an email/pm

ok thanks , i can do that, i was just making sure there wasnt something that was automatic i was missing already within the marketplace software.

We are a still so young, holding ourselves to the same standard of 2+ year coins is just setting us up for failure. We’re making progress, this is a process not a race.

Gox would want to see more volume on BTCe and merchant integration as that is part of their sales strategy. I know you are working hard on this. At the moment there are too many coins, about 130k per day?, and not enough to do with them but as all these projects fall in to place this will change.

Yeah the mining difficulty goes up and down on most of these currencies a lot and especially when they gain traction which makes it hard for people to profitably mine.

Once mining is completed–miners will make transaction fees from well any transactions of feathercoins.
Know of a marketplace that doesnt have feathercoins as payment currently–there is a ltter you can send them in this forum. if you can not locate, let me know who and i will be happy to send for you.

well…something will happen when last FTC is mined
It is very interesting indeed. BTW when is last FTC expected?? I know it is far future, but we can discuss it :)

eyyy good job!

Powercoin is dying not because the 51% attack has messed it up completely. It’s dying because the developer seems weak. He couldn’t manage the project properly and gave up easily.

Sometimes when working behind the scenes, you run the risk of looking like momentum is slowing down. Here’s the major items that are being worked:

Announcement coming tomorrow

I’ve also been contacting members individually getting ready for the big push on the items listed above. I repeat, nothing is slowing down, the work is simply more involved which takes additional time. Might be a good time to buy… up to you. :)

We are living in a now generation in which time itself has sped up. I am working hard on BTCe and Gox. So far all good.

Still can’t wait for the Bitcoin Conference on 2nd of July and I am going to Beer with Bitcoins tomorrow to buy my first pint with some BTC.

I have a concept in planing.

ftcarena.com has been registered.
My plan is to create an eco environment for ftc.

On the page you should be able to:
*mine ftc (not sure if im going to create a pool, or just reference to p2pool nodes), would be great to keep it inhouse with own mining client/ftc storage account
*gamble (texas holdem against other people, maybe some other games)
*play free games with ftc payout for best highscore.
*Lottery
*hope to get a java mining client (something like bitminter java client).

To explain my goal in an easy way:
Say your a person that likes to play some poker, now you’ll be able to play “cash” games with ftc, and if your on a bad streak and lose all your ftc.
just turn on your ftc mining client, and wait for tomorrow to have more “chips” to play with=).
If im able to integrate some easy mining client it would attract the “average man in the street”, who just wants to do something fun, and is not to interested in the whole crypto concept.
[/quote]

The games would have to use small ftc bets if you intend for,people,to just mine new ftc in order to play. Most people don’t have rigs that would bet them any significant ftc (your everyman).
[/quote]

That should not be a problem.
Just create different tables with different small/big blinds, and some with “max allowed ftc brought to table”
That way you’ll be able to have highroller tables, and “the little guy” tables 8)

In the lottery part you would be able to create as many tickets/amount pr tickets, then the price pool from all that have entered would be divided over the winning numbers.
The payout would consist of how many numbers you had correct/the amount you paid for your ticket.

The free play part would be payed by my wallet, alternative there would be a small fee on the gambling that would accumulate into a price pool for all a random lottery/highscore payout.

How many people open wallets when we sent them .1 of a coin? I don’t think it matters so much as how much they mine, but they’re able to get something to get them started down this crypto rabbit hole. I’m all about helping a mainstream audience find us.
[/quote]

The entire reason I got into LTC was some site gave away 0.25LTC if you commented on their article. Since then I’ve amassed a healthy amount of LTC. If we’re trying to get people to open wallets and experiment with the currency then why not do something similar? It would also encourage reading of FTC articles. Food for thought

A novel method to stop attacks, distribute the confirmations logarithmically.

I had an idea to make Feathercoin quicker / more secure. “Confirmation locality”. This would mean confirmations would decrease in value the distance (time) from the transaction with an exponential decay. This would mean the transaction is proportionally confirmed, but not fully confirmed till time > 80% network time. This means one person could not mount a 51% attack as the confirmations are distributed more widley through the network. Local confirmations have more value, the attacker cannot be local to everyone!
It would also have the added benefit local (small) payments are confirmed almost immediately with 99% validity.

Side note - I wish BTC-e would trade FTC to USD. I think that would help a lot. :P

[quote]EDIT: P.S. I only started looking myself out of curiosity of where all the hashes were coming from.[/quote]

if that address would do 51% attack for double spend our hash rate would in fact slow down as he will need to mine the new chain on the side.
[/quote]

thank you for that clarification.

We’ve had it well below 1GH/s yesterday before the last retarget. If someone attacked us at that moment, we retargeted faster and gained additional hash power from returning miners. As long as our profitability is comparable to LTC, there is no reason to worry about. We’re stabilising. The difficulty roller coaster is getting tolerable.

I will put line 3 of my sig, what do you want me to promote? I do for free. I am quite active on the alt board.

That’s fantastic! I’m just looking for general discussion about Feathercoin. One of the downsides of building such a great community in the official forums, we build a bit of a wall from the outside. We need to be handling the tough questions and educating crypto users about who we are as Feathercoin.
