The way I now look at this is, nothing matters but the strength of the network. The value is in the network, not how many coins you have!
It should be obvious, any one can easily make any number of other alternative coins now, so there is no “dead value” in coins. If the network is compromised or down, you have no coins.
All the other stuff is irrelevant marketing by “agents” who have no other way of monetising their contribution except with trading, porn and gambling.
Its like I was going to build an aeroplane, and all anyone talks about is how to buy shares in the company, not how will it fly?
No cryptocurrency has yet has broke out in normal use, but of the more protected scrypt coins, I thought Feathercoin was the best placed to do that. It has quickly built up a set of loyal miners, has an open involving forum policy, doing everything to join together and secure the network and is already established.
Most people get the misconception that changes can’t be made to the protocol at anytime, they can, as long as they have the agreement of the mining network.
The Feathercoin miners have implemented changes against their immediate personal interest in order to protect the network and that is the main area Feathercoin is succeeding. These changes have smoothed the production of coins over the last 2 months, with vast swings in Hash rate from 2 GHash/sec to 9 GHash/sec.
That increase has now peaked Feathercoin Hash rate out over this weekend to over 1/3 of the Litecoin Hash Rate.
Once we get the coin in circulation we should ask or encourage local shop mining to make faster transactions and secure the network. I think it will sweep through large area of the world which need this low cost “value transfer” mechanism.
Great question tho’

Actually, the idea of swarms is not to publicly post requests. I agree about an activism sub forum, absolutely.

Ok, maybe it will be some day under the controll of a moderator/leadership member.
Activism is needed, better yesterday than today.
