      FTC Holders: We’re hosting a learn-in where we will be educating people on the options available to them with regards to alternatives to PoW and solutions to price stability will be discussed as part of a 5 part holistic approach to addressing the current problems that face crypto-currencies. If you’re an investor in an existing coin, and you’re interested in hearing more about where the market is taking the technology, and how it can be used to enhance your existing investment and create new opportunities for you, you’re all invited to join. I will caution you a head of time that this is a learning opportunity, and a moderated discussion where people who are not interested in learning about the technology are not invited to participate and will be muted and/or kicked. This is NOT a FTC-central discussion, nor will any of the topics be specific to FTC, and any attempts to drive the subject off topic an onto the subject of existing blockchains will not be allowed. We know you’re not happy with the performance of your investment, and we’d like to invite you to consider a different approach to the technology stack, and why it may be of interest to you. This is NOT a sales pitch, an opportunity, a product, a plan, or a code base. It’s just an informal learning session.The discussion is presently scheduled for Sunday at 7:00 PM PST. Please use the following form to register ahead of time. Details will be sent to your inbox prior to Sunday, 7:00PM PST.

        I’m sure Kevlar has lots of knowledge to share, this isn’t one you want to miss out on, I’m sure. :)

          I hope, it will be open and not just an advertisement of the PoW alternatives Kevlar prefers.

                It’s exactly that. This is Kevlar offering a lesson on what he prefers. I see no downside to listening.

                  It was a good listen guys well worth spending the time. It was coin agnostic he was not trying to convince any particular coin to make a particular change.
                  It simply explained what some of the alternatives are and what problems they fix. And what problems have yet to be addressed.

                  None of us are in a position that we know everything. Gaining additional knowledge is always a good thing.

                  I think part of the reason kevlar decided to do a video is so he can focus on the facts and getting his ideas out without the conversation veering towards personal feelings and arguments.

                  He has some good points. But if your worried about making changes to Feathercoin think about it in terms of a new coin.

                      I listened to whole recording.

                      I think its worth to listen.

                      Not only Kenel and Kevlar have nice voices but there was some interesting ideas presented.

                      It kind of make sence what Kevlar said.

                      Here is the link:

                        nice talk.

                        not so nice how he talks about me here: https://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php?/topic/8847-80m-today-4th-may-2015-is-a-milestone-day-for-feathercoin/#entry74192

                        by the way, up to now nobody followed his invitation to contact me…

                          He is just trying yo get his message across and obviously thinks your his opposition.

                          I think there is some merit in the dpos stuff. I think it will help innovation and services around the coin although I doubt it will help our price stability. (Although it never claimed to do that)

                              I think Inflation schedule should be changed, I suggest 20 seconds block targets and 5 coins per block. Help us create a look forward to the future.

                              Every day 115200 FTC reduce to 21600 FTC.

                                Wow that’s a big change. I thought there was an issue reducing the block time to less than 30 or 40 seconds as it created too many chain forks

                                      I think lizhis English is perfectly good and any time I have a misunderstanding he is happy to clarify.

                                        I have no problems to discuss with Lizhi and we never get misunderstandings based on language skills. His English is improving every day and he does a lot of work for the coin. :)

                                        I don’t measure people based on language skills, but on the effort they put into the coin and the results they deliver, and in both areas Lizhi is really good.
