      I see a real lot of hate coming from Litecoin people in that thread. I admit Bitcoin fans are also far from having deep passion for Feathercoin, but they just don’t care mostly. Alright, acknowledged.

        I think thats because, until now, lightcoin has never had any actual competition from any other alt coin. I also think the fact that feathercoin is rapidly gaining ground has as surprised a lot of temp miners who switched from litecoin to mine early blocks and dumped their coins right away. The fact that Feathercoin has accomplished in months what took litecoin years has definitely made some people nervous. :)

        This is true. Now people seem to get locked into the view of cryptos as just a currency. The put the mindset of it being “just” like a dollar bill. Yes it is a currency but it is also software. ANY software that doesn’t consistently try to improve itself will stagnate then something else will come along.
        Also, one of the things cryptos have in common with paper currencies is the worry about counterfeiting. A neat laser printer for fiat and a 51% with crypto. Countries are always trying to find a better paper/cloth substitute for their money. Cryptos will always have to worry about some type of hack attempt. Not working on “any” countermeasures is foolish, even for the paper currencies.

          I’m going OT, but oh well … when countries put out new bills counterfeiting becomes very easy, for awhile, due to unfamiliarity with the new look. The USD will experience this same counterfeiting when all the pretty holographic bills go into circulation. Think someone can’t pull off that hologram? They don’t have to. All they need to do (already done) is have a similar looking neat shimmery effect and people new to the bill will not know the difference, so they take it.

          Anyway, back to the discussion …

            Interesting, start a thread saying that there should be more collaboration and end up getting abuse from the BitcoinTalk forum.

                      Bush’s reply about Litecoin having been mined 1.4 million equivalent coins compared to FTCs 2 million was very informative. Never knew that earlier - would be useful to combat all those ‘2 mil was mined in 7 hours’ trolls.

                        Yea people can’t do math lol. And then they argue also that “Oh, Litecoin had no GPU’s, so it was fairer”. Well… if we take that in account, and a decent low end gpu can bring in 100kh/s at least, that’s at least 2x the power of a high end home CPU. So if we do the math, if every miner had only one gpu and it was a low end one bringing in 100kh/s, then 2.8m coins should have been mined the first day to match Litecoin’s 350k coins. As you can see, given the circumstances, Feathercoin was actually UNDERMINED

                                Probably will get me banned and win me no favors here but based on Coblee’s original comments and then his feigned attempt to offer “constuctive” criticism he can eat a bowl of d*cks in my opinion.

                                Nevertheless I was professional in my reply on the bitcointalk forum.

                                  That’s all anyone could ever ask, thank you. I was particularly happy to see Sunny from PPC chime in, he’s certainly a friend to the alt coin developers.

                                            [quote]what an “interesting” pile of arguments. Lets talk about the reality of crypto in general. Bitcoin - wonderful idea but more concentration was put on coming up with faster ways to mine it than ways to use it. Litecoin- better implementation of the original idea of crypto but again very little concentration on actually being able to buy something with it. (before you get your panties in a bunch think from the viewpoint of John Q Public) further similarity between these 2 is their communities. both started out great with ideas and etc but then quickly turned into a troll playground with stagnation of purpose.

                                            I hold all coins. I lost my BTC wallet awhile back and was in some seriously shitty circumstances and asked this community for help. Exactly one person donated 100 btc which allowed me to basically continue to survive. To this person I sent back 1500 BTC immediately upon locating the proper USB stick. This one person who shall remain nameless demonstrated that there is still a potential for an actual community.

                                            Community is the thing i like most about feathercoin. People talk about fair launches and pre-mining and all that other nonsense. the reality is those that are in the know are always more successful than those that are not. That applies to everything in life.

                                            Feathercoin is promising not because of what has been done with it but because of what is going to be done with it. Most people currently on this forum and others were not around for the beginning of bitcoin. It is easy to determine those that were not because they say things like “has no value” and etc. bitcoin had no value and the people who believed in it did so not because of some value based upon fiat but based upon the idea of crypto in general. If it were not for those of us who saw the potential none of these other coins would exist and bitcoin itself would no longer exist.

                                            So before you sit there at your keyboard and argue with eachother about which coin is better think upon the fact that they all have the potential to change the world. Stop basing your arguments upon fiat value as fiat is the largest “scam coin” ever devised by man.

                                            I cannot really form an opinion based upon this partnership announcement because i do not have enough information but if a partnership is done correctly with the proper motivation it could be huge. Here is hoping the motivation is proper. [/quote]
