Hi,
My Feathercoin giveaway has began! I am a large holder in Feathercoins and want to boost it’s popularity. To do this I am offering the equivalent of 10$ in feathercoins for every person that gets the feathercoinQT wallet and sends me their newly made address.I will be doing this up to the one hundredth address I receive and depending on the results I get on the ftc market I will either continue or discontinue these giveaways. Please do not attempt to send me multiple addresses, I have my ways of finding out. After downloading the wallet send me a pm on here with your ftc address. Hope you realise the investment opportunity that is feathercoin!
You can get the wallet from featherscoin.com
Edit: I have modified title and made as temporary sticky as I think this warrants more notice to protect our community members… Thank you for bringing this to our attention! 8)

it was a random msg in my btc-e inbox.
maybe a ‘general’ btc-e trollbox warning is needed now and again as well?

Be very careful. The fake site also has a phishing version of this forum with the front page captured from the forum yesterday. The fake forum page shows as being a forum.htm file after the scammers URL when it is an index.php using our official domain and with custom forum prefix.
I have now reported this site to the hosting companies abuse report address. This process of taking these sites down will be much more fruitful when we are trademarked. Our application has been submitted but the whole process takes about six months.

Sounds great, btw are litecoin or bitcoin registered trademarks? -
Bitcoin is a registered trademark of MtGox which did this to prevent other more malicious users from doing the same. This is why we are getting an international trademark, to stop people squatting with phishing sites or doing nefarious things under our name, and perhaps to stop MtGox from registering Feathercoin as their own. I wonder if Litecoin has been trademarked?
-
What exactly are the advantages of having the trademark of feathercoin?
That we can act legally against missus of every kind against everything (from what exactly?)
From Bush?
Developed by Bush + Team + Forummembers?
Where the ftc logo is on?Btw, do we need a copyright protection for the logo to?
-
Well done, I agree, Feathercoin needs to copy-write feathercoin.
-
Reports are coming in that they have started to spam bitcointalk.org the with pm´s to users.
The link is feathercoin.com buuut the hyperlink is featherscoin…
.
There should be an official statement on both forums to inform people of this scam attempt.
Quite geniouse way to scam, and it most likely works. especially for newcommers that will be spooked away from feather coin -
Just got this message in my BCT inbox…
