FTC's future
-
I think we can do it in small steps, first go to hybrid POW + POS phase and give people time.
Our lead developer (Lizhi) is also in favor of this idea.

It was fine when you suggested it. I just disagreed at the time. So shoot me.
I’ve read more and listened to more of your ideas and all I’m saying is maybe you were right.
I don’t see how I’m always the bad guy here?

At the time I thought the status quo was an option. I now realise that its not.

nononono
Not you. not anyone
Please give me a moment. I’m doing a tell all right now. ill have the post up very soon
Kris you are one of the many briliant minds which prevented me from pushing ftc in the wrong direction. that was not targeted at you. Kevlar was merely makeing an anolgy? Its late im lacking words when i rush them.

I’m going to be strait up here. I am so conflicted it is destroying my sanity to a degree. You can call me a crackpot. Nutjob. Unstable. Not fit to lead anything but it makes little to no difference to my personal goals. I feel like ive been lieing to the community for a long time but if one digs through the history here, you will see hints that I want to destroy all money. Crypto’s have a place for now though. Also, Feathercoin is the best community I have ever been apart of. Period. The people here are fair and stable unlike myself at times when I get tired. I’m in the wrong part of the world to be a project manager for ftc. This is a more detailed post on what I self censored earlier on this evening. So please read on, let me explain my disposition and I pray in the figurative sense people understand my words as the following could be digital suicide.
I am a Venus Project supporter. Let that be known from now till the end of my life. Which I hope and plan on it to never end.
I left the Venus community before it even began because I knew there was a missing link. But a few years later I discovered that missing link/stepping stone was Bitcoin…
If things are done right, we can replace money and government, then, we could potentially create a world where money is no longer needed and no one is left behind. I know these are my personal motives. And I shouldn’t be pushing them on others as 99% of people fear the concept I wish for. I will gracefully bow out from team if this creates to much conflict. I came here to learn. The team pushed me to become involved so I could learn more. I will never forget any of you.
If it wasn’t for the insanely welcoming community Bush started here, I would have nothing to offer this world. I thank the founding members, and it is to those who came before me, I owe this speech to the most.
So, as some of you may know, I’ve been planning a new coin to test the theories that should never be trialed on a coin that has already been launched. I tried to achieve my personal goals through ftc and I feel as though I will never be able to accomplish my goals as it means breaking up the learning environment created here. That is so wrong, It is effecting my ability to sleep even when I am brain dead tired from been up for 20 hours a day trying to juggle real life with my digital life.
I always saw ftc as an RnD coin. It was a truly remarkable learning experience. In my opinion, ftc always deserved ltcs place in the sun. And still does. Mankind needs money for another 50 years roughly and I think ftc is the best coin for money that exists today provided it continues to show no fear and is willing to learn from not just its own mistakes, but the mistakes of all crypto’s. Unfortunately, some things can not be undone. I think that’s why I destroy myself trying to make my idea’s gel with the coin and the community.
Now. If 99% of crypto’s continue on the path they are going, it will merely be another system of corruption and stifling of human innovation. I believe there’s very little time left in the grand scheme of things before the proverbial mess hits the fan. Wealth can be distributed all it wants, but we live on a planet that has finite resources when its been treated under a free market society. The elite will leave the planet, and Earth will be nothing more then a machine of human labor and disparity.
Feathercoin is but a step away from trialing the governance of the future. Distributed consensus to the highest degree. The Rosetta Stone of the 21st century you could call it.
There will be a dystopian future, or there will be the Venus Project.
Here’s 2 video’s I have recently thrown together that sum up my greatest fears. It is how I release my emotions and transcribe my internal conflicts.

So. On a final note. There are no words to express how much I feel I have misled and manipulated ftc for my own purposes. And no, I’m not trying to profit from ftc. My investments lay elsewhere. I don’t know how I can proove that I gave away 95% of my ftc, but if anyone can think of a way, I have no issues revealing every ftc tx and every ftc address I hold. I would say I’m speechless but this collage of words is a clear indicator that I will never stop speaking my mind.
I await my judgement as all is fair because I have been deceitful to a degree.
I’m sorry. So very sorry. I love you all, I really do.
Calem John Smith.
No Fear.

I’d never heard of the Venus project. But after just a few mins research I think it looks pretty cool. I don’t see that it conflicts in any way with crypto or FTC.
-
It doesn’t conflict. In fact. It’s a match made in utopian heaven.
-
Its a subject I think most people have fought with over the years. No matter how much I like my job I’m not there voluntarily. I have no choice only the facade of choice. Were essentially slaves to our own lives. Unless you can break through into the mega bucks you can’t escape. … or maybe that’s just me.

is coinpayments.net still going?

ancient thread
https://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php?/topic/5916-how-to-start-a-movement/
the lone nutters might look silly at first, but if we all get up and dance, be inclusive and accept people as equals… Well… Fun time ahead

Thanks!
You are welcome. I’ll be curious to hear your thoughts on the service, I’ve not used it since it ‘changed hands’

Our lead developer (Lizhi) is also in favor of this idea.This is positive. I say, let Lizhi run with it. This is exciting.

holding my breath just to figure how to sugarcoat this…
keep doing this crap and you’ll get to a point of no return…you don’t need core changes, thats not why this coin is dying (actually its the oppositeits speeding its death up).

The hybrid PoS has been discussed a few times and if your interested here was the rundown of the discussion.
If we add 0% PoS we can get additional security for the blockchain without changing hashing algo or messing with coin supply or release schedule.
As its 0% PoS the pos staker would only receive tx fees so its likey it would not be very popular but would only require one wallet open to produce PoS blocks.
PoW blocks will be left untouched so mining can continue as normal.
As we are adding PoS blocks to the blockchain this could reduce time between blocks speeding up tx conformation time. It would likely smooth the block times at least, as when mining difficulty changes we can get extended times resulting in slow tx confirmation times.
Worst case scenario is no one stakes for pos but I don’t believe this to be the case. Even if a few of us here on the team maintain “PoS” stakes this would suffice.
I’m not saying this is the full solution as I agree with you the technology cannot fix the economic problems we face. We also need to concentrate on publicity and giving users something to do with their coins.
-
I’m actually in favour of doing something drastic. At the moment, we are not helping the people we are here to represent. The community. In order to help the community get the tech they deserve to actually help them we need programmers. To get programmers excited we need a programming movement, and for that we need a lone nut and loads of contribution. We need to be more inclusive to get more contribution.
Investors, Miners and prices should come secondary to the goal. The goal being to experiment with the technology and help make the world better for everyone.
-
And to the staff, please keep the community up to date with what’s happening and what’s planned for the future.
That’s totally fair. Using the topless dancing guy analogy again, the dancing should be done in public.
There seem to be a way of keeping the blockchain safe without having to feed the miners and bleed the coin owners dry, let’s go for it!
Yes, it’s a problem, at the moment with all blockchains it’s give out tokens or blockchain death. It’s like buying friends for your party, only when the music stops, the ‘friends’ leave.
The incentive is a big part of the model, but we have some smart minds here, maybe there is a better solution?

Does it have to be a topless dancing guy? Lol
I’m all for equality. -

I’m all for equality.Haha. No, in the spirit of being inclusive, everyone is welcome to join in the topless dancing. ;)

listen guys you guys got to this point (excuse the term ) but by circle jerking, all going wow xyz change and its too the moon, yet outside this small community the market is ditching you, and its because of the dramtic changes, STOP IT NOW,
i’m a trader, months ago i wouldn’t have touched this, now i’ve been buying up (purely because well tis so low its bargain territory even if it bounces back a fraction) but if it continues I know myself i’d have to dump as you guys are turning into a lost cause, and the only people you ever convince is who you’ve already converted (and even most of them are losing faith).
you don’t need any changes in feathcoin itself, you guys are the ones that need changing.
i asked a while back what’s ftc’s reason for existence, and seriously no one could give me a clear answer. so why would i or anyone else invest?
Would you like me to help you with the answer?
Ok I can list 101 problems with ftc (instamine percieved or otherwise, original dev copy paste ltc and couldn’t program to save himself, also now runs around as a dev in a few other shitcoin.)…anyway the list goes on
But what are the positives;
established coin thats been around longer then most current alts, was even at onetime a top coin ie some (not I mind you) consider it BTC, LTC then FTC…wll for a very short period there. the whole pub accepting it videos, oxford stuff…thats actually really good, seriously good…
now you guys? sell me ftc

I will not reply to this thread but test new multisig menu Lizhi just added to wallet.
In fact you all should look at amazing progress Lizhi did with Core so far.
