Back to mining FTC
-
There were moment of doubt, and depression. Times I could barely pay the power bill, cgminer malfunctions, overheating, and nail biting while flashing the video card BIOS. Attacks on feathercoin from the crypto community, and hackers…
I started in crypto mining Litecoin and eventually made the switch to feathercoin. It’s been a rough road however with hedging my bets on which coin will do what and investing mining power in other technologies but I’m here to say I’m back to Feathercoin. I am currently mining on middlecoin for some income and also on a load balanced basis with Feathercoin PPS which I intend to stay with for the foreseeable future.
Recent developments and the sheer nature of this coin makes it impossible to deny. The talent, determination and attitude behind this “coin”, (technology really since it’s not the coin itself it’s the way of doing things behind the basic framework of the software that drives it) has drawn be back in to stay.
I may still have to mine on middlecoin for a bit longer but I will always have at least few hashes for feathercoin till I draw my last breath.

Welcome back! Where do you sell your mined coins to pay for i.e. electricity?

[/quote]I’m a hoarder :D. I tend to keep and occasionally trade ftc for more ftc. I use the BTC from middlecoin to pay for expenses. And I sell some of the BTC through coinbase.

It was good, have some immediate thoughts from coming out of it but not a lot of time to expand right now:
1. Some “lofty” ideas expressed by the group but this was due to the team/show interviewing with. I’m not sure how much Feathercoin should continue to be involved with groups that are constantly using the word anarchist. Although it was appropriate to try and explain the technical details and decentralization of how FTC can support a broader idea but mainly be a viable currency to be used. They seem like a wonderful group, enthusiastic, but also link offsite to other more negative groups that I won’t name but investigated from their link partners/recommendations.
2. I still feel that at a point right now we can focus our energy on neat technical advancements we are making and need to continue to make but also need to secure the currency’s place amongst other very strong or even more catchy competitors: 1) we need some substantial technical developments, incredible wallets, mobile support, globally supported things, commerce leadership, 2) we need some big partners of adoption if at all ever possible without having to go through Bitcoin, and 3) we need to grow the short-term use as investment to jettison our market-capital up (I know we don’t want to be seen as that but it may be very well what decides to stay around long-term).
Either way, lets work together as community to figure out how to push forward! :-)

The “community” has been the survival factor for Feathercoin. That gives us a “trust base” to work on.
Obviously, widespread merchant acceptance will be true sign of long term success…
