Odd FeatherCoin Address
-
I am new to the FC community, and have an odd question about addresses. I’ve lurked a while and have been looking for the right topic to post this under. Not finding one, I’ve started my own thread. ** mods please redirect as needed **
==================================
After generating a dozen addresses from the fc client (v0.6.4.0-g3aaa7ba-beta) I noticed that all of them started with “6”, except this one.72FtbqmF13MLPnE3pt2duLsmui7gW4FykV
I thought – cool — a unique address.
Then I got thinking … All BTC address start with 1, Litecoin with L, and I thought Feathercoin with “6”. So … is this a valid address, or was it generated in error by the client?
Thanks,

It’s valid, I also have one starting with 7 and I always get my pool payouts and all transaction are running fine.

I have one with 7 too :D

Yeah, but why Feathercoin has two options for starting symbol? And why 6 and 7? Why not F ? (just curious)
P.S. My one and only adress also starts with 7 ::)
