The map only lists city not address. That doesn’t tell you much. Overall its safer than a facebook account with low privacy settings (anyone over 13 can post their full address to facebook). Also, from what I am looking at this map doesn’t actually facilitate any way to meet up in person. I say let him list his city.
[/quote]It’s the start of an idea. Doing a simple manual proof of concept.
[/quote]That’s right, it’s the start of an idea to help get Feathercoin out to a wider range of people. We first started it so that members on the forum could have a tool to arrange their own meetups on the site and then it occurred to us that it would work well for p2p exchanges as well.
If we want Feathercoin to be as distributed as possible do we want exchanges to be the only place where you can buy them? Or do we feel that more options like p2p make it stronger? I wouldn’t say that p2p should be the focus but rather it should be one of a number ways to get hold of them.

[quote author=chrisj link=topic=3702.msg28453#msg28453 date=1379539205]This is one of the reasons we are asking for peoples’ locations here:
http://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php?topic=3674So that we can start to make it easier for people to buy and sell Feathercoins peer to peer. But this is work in progress at the moment.
[/quote]So one of the reasons of the map is to make it to where community members can buy/sell FTC [i]because you’re wanting to distance yourself from exchanges[/i] and be less reliant on them.
Okay. So the focused means of exchange for the coin I’ve been mining will be person to person.
So where’s the goddamn sense in removing my username and location for safety reasons if that’s how you’re wanting FTC to be exchanged?
Fuck you guys. Seriously.
I’ve got about 1000FTC. It’s not much, but I’m selling it. PM me for offers people, I’m out.
[/quote]Local Exchange of coins person to person is an excellent idea, this is what happens with Bitcoin everyday, and where is Bitcoin on the Crypto Spectrum… doesn’t mean you can’t use the Exchanges it’s just another option, and also gets you away from your mining operation and out of the house meeting like minded people. I think it’s a bit extreme to blow off Feathercoin just because they are trying to add another string to the Community Bow…
But that’s just my opinion ;) -
Why people shouting away because they think they need to protect 13-18years old? 13-18years old are really young adults already, no longer kids. They have their way of thinking and no longer dependent on their parents to make decisions. They learn from peers and from their own experiences and if they fall, they get up and becomes wiser.
If people are so worried about 13-18years old privacy, please either you or parents 24/7 monitor what they are doing(hmm, another privacy issue) or just disconnect them. Anything online are always logged by someone, don’t let them have emails, don’t let them have facebook, twitter, etc, don’t let them read anything online, no youtube for them(tons of craps too), don’t allow them to have cell phones too, and to the extreme, don’t go to school, but home study instead. Is that the way to go?
Linking name to a city are really nothing, It does gives a feel of the community of where they are and how many are around you. To “feel” that we are dealing with a real person(regardless of age, sex and race, as long as its a human being), that the community are not limited to just Americans or the British(yes, why only FTC beer at oxford,uk, ;p ) but the fact that we are earthlings, when bushstar, chrisj or anyone exhale, that very same air gets blown across and I may get to inhale in that very same air molecule.
So, cool down and go take a shower…
Cheers…

[/quote]13 to 18 year olds aren’t in any position to trust adults when they need to get out of danger. it has nothing to do with being ready for the real world. 13 to 18 year olds are simply at a disadvantage. it’s much easier for adults to conspire against them trying to get to safety, if something happens.
Also people might not want such information up.
