100s of Linux distributions, small incremental changes and experimentation helped it evolve. Certain Linux flavors gained more success than others by the services and support that surrounded the distribution.
[/quote]Excellent example. When was the last time an app had 2-6 lines of code changed and then branded as new and spectacular? none, ever. Why? because of the community would have laughed you out the door as a thief and an idiot who brought nothing new to the table. So changing 6 lines of code for feathercoin, and you are surprised by the backlash?
Had the feathercoin client brought something new to the table and amazing, the backlash would not be there.

[/quote]I see you mining on pools, I see you still posting quite a lot on here.
I guess you’re just cashing in on the failure of feathercoin. I can see no other reason why you’re still bothering with such an abysmal failure of the theft of a concept…

[/quote]New and amazing is a depressingly poor and irrelevant argument.
It’s an imaginary Ayn Rand, Willy Wonka universe where everything is new and exciting, like the Love Boat.
It’s also pointless because clearly Litecoin no longer gets that backlash, so why should ours?X.org vs X11R6
GNU Emacs vs XEmacs
Harmony vs QT
Status.net vs Twitter
pico vs nanoThe changes are enough to fundamentally change the compatibility of the coin, therefore it is reasonable to change the name.

[/quote]You are right, I am confused. Could you please point out one, just one, app (windows, linux, osx, os/2, freebsd, anything) that had 6-10 lines of code changed, with the author then contending that the app was new and different and re branded it, AND then the community accepted it?

“community accepted it?”At least 1700 people say you’re wrong, ooops. :) I’m just happy you’ve stopped the personal attacks against the other members. If you want to spend your day talking about why you DON’T support something, that’s fine.

Ladies, ladies… PLEASE! You’re both beautiful.
No, the question isn’t too difficult, it’s one that’s been addressed already: It doesn’t matter in the slightest if the foundation code for all these coins is the same, as long as what is built on top adds value.
You’re making a straw man argument, and it’s not going to get you the answer your looking for.

It’s a conversation right up until I ask questions that no one has a great (or even subpar, or any at all) answer for, then I am a witless troll because he lacks answers.

[/quote]Those are not 6-10 lines. They are 6-10 SETTINGS. Huge difference. In the real world those settings make a coin entirely incompatible with another.
I don’t comprehend this superficial idealism for new, new, new. It’s on the Internet. The Internet is not a supermarket. It is a workshop.
If someone wants to work on something, they have to start with something that is close to what they want to do. That means they have to use stuff that’s already out there. Clearly, Bushstar did not want to work alone on it, there OMFGWTFBBQ, he had to release it BEFORE it was so PRECIOUSLY,

@randomdef: You also did not answer a question asked of you in this thread [url=http://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php?topic=1857.30]http://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php?topic=1857.30[/url] about what constructive changes you would make to reward miners.
It may be difficult to accept that others find this scam/copy/theft/crap coin has value, but hey, PT Barnum said there was one born every minute. Aren’t you glad you’re not one of them?

I dont get this whole argument. If you wish to build a car you start with wheels, a frame, and an engine. Why build from the ground up when you can just start with this base (litecoin code.) Its the added features (that may not have been added or even thought up yet) that differentiate this coin from litecoin. If you honestly think that feathercoin is a pointless clone then mine litecoin. Nobody really cares which coin you choose to mine. The reason that people are here is they believe in the coin and that it is going to evolve into something totally different then litecoin.
It seems your big issue is that changes to the coin are being released after the coin was made public not before. I ask what does it matter when things are implemented?

[/quote]I’m sorry that my intellect does not seem to match yours, but suggesting that Bushstar or Justabitoftime give their own coins away is hardly a suggestion I would have thought.
I do of course humbly apologise for misunderstanding your terribly clear post and bow to your superior wisdom as to what should be done with Feathercoin to make you accept and love it, even though it is a red-headed love child of Bitcoin and Litecoin with a penchant for mimicry.

[/quote]Your question seems predicated on the wrong basis.
Your assumption seems to be that unless you have some awesome thing, you should just sit in a corner and dig through the code with a tiny spoon until it is awesome and then you are allowed to publish it under a name.But see that would mean you are not allowed to:
Develop in a public group
Announce it to everyone when you begin
Invite people to code with you AT THE VERY BEGINNING
Have fun openly developingYour standard prevents open development, therefore Bushstar did not follow your standard. New. Does. Not. Matter.
Bushstar had every intention to adapt and change the code, so he changed the name, but he released before he changed it significantly so others could participate.
Your nitpick is plain silly and prevents fun. QED. Your nickname is now, notfundef.
