@gonnaforget said in Feathercoin - Analysis of possible maximum Transactions block / Dustcoin "attack" 25/10/2016:
What’s up with all these attacks against FTC? Was it because there was someone who was big into a competing coin, or was it just for fun?
There are a few things quoted as “Attacks”. There have not been times when it is proved there is a deliberate attack, i.e. someone has paid or has enough power to try to double spend.
This resulted in the first major update to Feathercoin to implement Automatic Check pointing or ACP. Once this happened and there was a “double spend issue”, FTC would reject that chain - i.e. It becomes an Orphan chain.
However, Feathercoin still abides by the normal rules and the longest chain wins. So there are 2 competing chains untill the attacker error chain gives up or the normal chain becomes longer.
There similar reasons Bitcoin has also suffered longer orphan chains than originally specified, but FTC does suffer a couple of long chains early on.
There is another known “attack”, it turned out to be someone testing, one was an attempt to flood the network with dust payments, was noticed later but had no detrimental effect.
I designed eHRC initially as a potential replacement for ACP but in the end it was used to reduce the effect of coin switching. It does make it harder for someone to achieve network dominance for long enough to do anything. So we don’t tend to get the long orphan chains.
Thanks for the heads up.
This Token isn’t listed on any exchange yet so I don’t think people are getting confused with the names…unless they are really, really stupid…
This seems like very bad business practice, especially because they don’t announce it on their main page. They should ask for donations instead, like Wikipedia does, and if that + ads doesn’t sustain their business model, just let it go.
@kelsey I know Ive mentioned it many times over the years. I used to play some MMORPG games back in the day which had some ingame ‘money’ that you earned and spent on items. I always thought that would be a great entry point for a crypto but soon realized one as slow as Bitcoin probably wouldnt be best. However, Feathercoin might be a good fit… now to find someone who can/will build the game…

Great, can we ban versions above ours as well as bellow? … 75000 = worldcoin
Better to ban based on subversion, banning on version number may cause problems during the roll out of new releases
Is there an easy way to do this? Automatically in the wallet? A script? Manually?
Currently it can be compiled in for the 11.x based code . There is no option do configure it through the command line or the config file and 0.9x doesn’t have that feature… yet
@bsotnikow said in How is it possible?:
Now with a stable BCH out there. FTC can be fine never implementing segwit and stay relevant with Bitcoin upgrades…Anything they do on BTC, they’ll figure out eventually on BCH (and FTC).
My purpose was more, what is the use of scaling FTC in the current state of it’s development ?
And actually I’m not a fan of SegWit, the fact that you separate Signature from the transaction, this kind of “separate chain”, we already have SPV client for light wallet so I don’t see the urge nor the goal. (Some will say Maleability fix)
There is so many other ways to scale. I hope Feathercoin comunity gonna be wiser than Bitcoin one.
So don’t panic, just grab a towel.
@AcidD Awesome thanks. I must be thinking of something else. Following too many coins these days…I want to get some VIVO and TZC too when they hit exchanges that i use. Great to see more neo adoption.
Long live FTC!
Yea, always been that way too on every coin. The top wallets are exchanges, thats why they have thousands and thousands of transactions. No single investor would have a reason to be moving their funds around constantly.
@peeet said in Coinmarketcap and Coingecko:
Lol, I just read in the other thread that 19800 will be closing anyway.
Sorry I forgot to ping here. Yeah some hot news in China. Wait and see.
Anyway you prove than FTC is alive and that is priceless. Thanks a lot for that.
NeoScrypt now used for Scrypt hash generation in the code, CheckProofOfWork set to use hash and nBits instead of height same as Bitcoin and GetPoWHash toggles between Scrypt and NeoScrypt based on time instead of height as suggested by Ghostlander.

Fork height, fork times and checkpoint keys defined in chainparams.

getwork has been restored in the commit in my post above. Once my client has synced the changes will be pulled into the 0.9.6.2 branch. They are currently on my own 0.9.6.2-bushstar branch.
The size of the block chain also depends on the size of a the blocks contained.
The size of a block is influenced by the number and size of the transactions contained in that block.
The Feathercoin block chain currently is about 2.1 Gbyte.
Bitcoin already has implemented some features to reduce the actual size of data stored on a client and we will do the same for Feathercoin in the future
@jungle said in Bitcoin in meltdown?:
How much coins can I get on Btc? I still didn’t have an idea whether to own the bitcoins.
Well, how many Coins you get depends on the money you want to invest.
Just open an account on one or several exchanges, that trade Bitcoins for US Dollars and but as many coins as you want, or can afford
A stable price isnt always a bad thing. These wild and crazy gains we see in the crypto simply dont happen in the rest of the world. They just dont. Its unrealistic to expect them to continue forever here as well.
Sure we would all like to see our coins gain 5% everyday but thats not sustainable. Id prefer to watch it slowly grow over time as new features and projects are brought online. Natural growth is way better than a Pump and Dump every few months.
@mkxjinshan Kudos, this is a great post, I added some more detail and a screen shot of all the currencies payment options you can add to a merchant site. Worth a bump.
@Wellenreiter said in Coinofview.com -- coin stats site:
Well, if you have a look here: http://coinofview.com/coin/Feathercoin.html they are totally outdated. Their last update is more than a year old
I saw that too. I tried to contact them but so far no reply.
Whilst I would be happy that Shapeshift did what they promised and reinstate FTC. I do not think we will re-add Shapeshift to the wallet, despite the bounty payements to program the SS and Coinotron add-ons.
Lizhi completed the bounty work by member request and is no longer available to maintain that code. By including the code, it may give the impression FTC is an exchange and expose members to unforseen legal requirements.
