If I install the FTC wallet am I helping to strengthen the network?
-
I have several computers dotted around, just old ones. If I install FTC wallet will it do anything to support the network? Will they have to be running all the time to have that effect?

Anyone who installs the qt or linux version at current is helping by storing the blockchain, thus helping it stay decentralized.
If you don’t run them 24/7 they will simply download the rest of the blockchain when you open them back up.

Just remember that unless you are mining on each wallet too, you’re not adding anything to the hashrate. That’s not necessarily a problem, but just for completeness…
-
yes anyone who downloads FTC wallet is supporting FTC.

I Have the Wallet Installed and am looking forward to the Big Announcement coming from Bushstar ;)

[/quote]By installing and having the wallet actively running ,even if just in the background, you are helping relay transactions on the network, there by in essence strengthening the network .
