How many feathercoins have been premined?

Well said, klenker, well said.

Needs to go on a motivational poster XD

A lot of us are new to cryptocurrency, like me. I thought it was awesome. But when I looked at the Bitcoin and Litecoin communities (actually I had difficulty ever finding a Litecoin community!), I found them very selfish, greedy, and unhelpful. They seemed to have the attitude “Don’t talk unless you’re already rich in Bitcoins and have a cool rig.”[/quote]
I only started out around Christmas last and that is exactly what I came across.

The feather will weather.

Hope the Art Team saw that line. ;D

I don’t know if the original poster is even going to reply now (or if we scared him off), but here’s what I think - for the record.
[/quote]I do reply, but I cannot comment on every post. It sounds very reasonable what all of you say, but I still think that’s not the way to go. Videos, radio interviews, all kind of advertisment for a crypto currency is just too much. It might work for goods, but not for a currency. Feathercoin looks more like a marketing ploy to most people. If you succeed - well done. If not - told ya. ;)

[/quote]I met very nice people at the litecoin and bitcoin community and never felt being rejected by anybody.

I’m here because the Feathercoin people are nice and helped me get going. Right now, you have be a pretty smart techie to get started mining, especially if you don’t have fancy hardware. Over here, they made it simple to understand and they always respond quickly and positively.People like me believe in an open source world. We want an open source currency. Bitcoin and Litecoin have become something for “the elite.” (super fancy hardware, expensive prices to buy in, etc) We younger people don’t like that. We want something for everyone, even after all the coins have gone into distribution.
FTC has a free, open, and helpful future because the developers believe the same way.
[/quote]It’s as easy to mine litecoins as feathercoins. The difference is that some bitcoin and litecoin miners see new miners as rivals. The coins you mine are the coins they lose. New feathercoin miners are not yet competitors, because they do not “steal” coins from others, but secure them by making attacks more difficult. That attitude will change as soon as feathercoin managed to survive… be sure. :)

I don’t understand how it’s ‘fun’ to jump on a site you don’t support and spit venom all day. As long as you stay within the code of conduct, you’re free to do what you want. I’m just thinking ‘wow, what would it be like to spend my day against something’. Just an observation, everyone is entitled to their version of fun. It’s like walking into Toyota and talking about how Ford sucks all day. :)

Boils down to:

[*]I hate you[/list]

Actually, he’s been quite civil in my opinion. He seems interested in the project.
Perhaps advertising a currency is going a little too far. At least we’re having fun. And he wants to have fun, too. So we should just keep encouraging the poor guy to jump in and throw his weight in with the rest of us.

He’s free to his opinion, I’m just done messing with it personally. If you guys are having fun in the thread, that’s all that really matters to me. :)

I don’t think anyone really knows the answer to the OP. I like to think none, but the dev has to keep some back to gift to the community surely?
[/quote]Actually we do know the answer to this, but certain people choose to ignore basic knowledge of both blockchain facts, conception of time and that of the basic English language, Premined [b]Pre[/b] meaning by definition: [i]before in time, rank, order, position,[/i] Ie: NOT AFTER - public announcement.
The first block was mined [i]after[/i] public announcement = It was not [b]pre[/b]mined. Whether it was 1 second, minute or hour after public announcement is irrelevant, unless people are really looking to split hairs and in that case your closing statement has more than been proven to be the case, to me anyway.
I feel the OP has now had his question answered in full, so I’m now going to pull the Mod card and lock this thread down, should any substantial evidence come to light to dismiss the OP’s answer above, then please feel free to start another thread, preferably stating all evidential facts and not just troll box hearsay. 8)

Just one further post to add that all future versions of the Premine Question will be answered as follows:
