Looking to help with marketing
-
Hello all feathercoiners!
I am a graphic designer and a tattoo artist from Kentucky and new 4 day miner of feathercoin.
I am not new to mining. I actually just recently started mining again. And I have chosen feathercoin as my top pick for the long hall.
I see a lot of exchanges with making it difficult to not transact.
I would love to see major exchanges (coinbase, etc) start letting people transact with USD. Is there a reason why it has not got there yet? Its been almost 4 years since the release of feathercoin. Any light shed on this would be wonderful.
This is why I would love to be apart of the community to help raise awareness of feathercoin. It is very stable coin. We need more apps and exchanges to accept them. We need more articles about feathercoin. We need more graphic design promoting the use of feathercoin.
Anything I can do to help.
Let me know.Thanks.

I actually asked coinbase that very question about 3 months ago (will you be adopting FTC or any other cryptos) but the fact that I got a form letter apologizing for the slow response 4 days later… and saying that if i had some transaction i needed help with (completely unrelated to what I asked about). well i think they are swamped right now.
There was a place that used to let you do USD for FTC or vica versa but alas coinmkt.com (LA based i think) is gone. the volume wasnt there to support their exchange once they price of bitcoin crashed and they went the way of a lot of exchanges over the years.
As for the state of other companies/exchanges adopting … well I havent heard anything but maybe someone else has.

Interesting point, things are moving fast, it would be great if coinbase did take FTC, worth writing in again.

Coinbase could pretty much rocket any coin, purely down to having a iOS, Android app that allows customer to purchase coins with a Bank transfer or Credit card within seconds… Making investment accessible to everyone, and its the everyday person who as £50,100,500 knocking around that was sitting in an saving account earning 0.25% a YEAR in interest that could be earning God knows what in Coins / Tokens.
I’m hoping 2018 will be the year of the exchanges jumping on the simply investment approach, the more money / time they place in apps making it as simple as possible 2/3 clicks to invest in tokens and coins the better every coin / token will be

I’ve been trialling https://bittylicious.com/ in GBP, but international mode does USD->FTC.
Obviously, you will need to go through their verification process (send a bill, drivers license e.t.c.) before you can use credit card and as of this moment you incur a 10c (fee?) hit per coin.
But hey, in my case, that can be cheaper than the electricity to mine it! (~12-45c a kWh on wholesale rates)
-
@trancendence 45c/kWh?! That’s nuts!
-
@gonnaforget We’re a small country in New Zealand…
Generally most Power (utility) companies charge around 25-30c kWh.I’m with a company that does wholesale, which means it can vary quite a bit instead of being a set price - means we get it super cheap off peak for when we charge our electric car (generally around 12c a unit).
Last month we had a Hydro Power facility under maintenance pushing power prices up to 35-45c during the day 😰

@trancendence that is sad… so sad. Kentucky in the US is at 8.9 cents per kW… thats incredible, and provides a great return on investment of mining equipment for FTC. I’m telling FTC will “moon” as they say… just when the major trading platforms will recognize it. I mean, it a gold coin. Trust the old ones. Not the new ones. In fact I believe I’ve read where the original creator is out of his current contract is coming back to feathercoin… i hope thats true. and i’m hoping there is a marketing strategy in place or will be. and i’m all for helping that cause.

@j_scheibel seeing as how that let BTC Cash come on board, soon we will see more and more of the ALT coins on board with major exchanges. Its basically a tax issue, is from what i can gather. and i’m sure there are more variables that are involved. i don’t know them. what i do know is that FTC is a diamond in the rough when it comes to the most SECURE coin out there. Seems more stable too. FTC has my bet. For sure.
