@Moonman I think your name will be appropriate for FTC over the next few days

Gotta love OG coins that manage to stay the test of time… even though we might be at a relative low point in community activity FTC manages to run smooth every single day… and if it doesn’t the community sparks back up again to get it fixed quick.

As far as how nice people tend to be in the crypto community, I have never found a better set of individuals than with the FTC community, everyone is genuinely friendly and helpful.

As many know, I am always here and never stop lurking and prepping for the next mining season.

Still here always lurking…

@AmDD You da man

I can see positives from addressing ‘transaction malleability’ but outside of that FTC does not really have block size issues like BTC. Lightning network is cool for speed improvements, however, FTC is already far far far faster than LTC or BTC its what this coin was built around. my 2 cents…

$2700/btc seems like the community is behind it

@Wmcgirr If you follow FTCs history, we are not a typical crowd of follow the new latest technology hype. Instead of just using a common ASIC resistant algorithm after scrypt was taken over by asics we built our own solution, NeoScrypt. Prior to that we built the advanced checkpoint system as well as our own difficulty scaling solution. If there is a need for changes we will get it done, Sigwit is to 2017 as the DAO was to 2016, new tech hype…

Its all manipulation by one large seller on bittrex it seems. Any large sell walls are eaten nearly daily almost all at once. Once we stabilize through the manipulation we will start rising slowly. If you want to buy into FTC this is your opportunity to invest a lot while its low it seems!

Getting ready for another winter here, did some $s to find out how much I was spending last year.

I ran my house on oil for a few months last year, extrapolating the data here were the results:

$750 in oil for just hot water per year
est. $1100 in oil for heating per year

$400/month in electric for miners
$1000/month income in ETH/BTC/FTC

I only run miners for heat so approx 6 months out of the year

After 1 year no mining - $1850 spent

After 1 year with mining - $2850 earned

Which comes out to $4700 more in my pocket at the end of the year

If you are building a FTC Linux distro, would you mind also adding FTC mining?

I know our forums are mostly dead, however, I have been working in this field for a year and a half. I am a co-founder and the principal developer for https://livemarketanalytics.com/
I was tired of sitting in front of a trading console and watching markets day in and day out so I created an AI prediction engine and a trade bot to execute trades based on what the prediction engine was saying. The trade bot has ran for more than a year and more than doubled my starting BTC. We are planning on launching a FREE public trade bot on GitHub before 2021.

@wrapper said in Asus Releasing GPU's For Crypto Currency Mining!:

For :
Efficiency (gives high level of encryption / through put per Watt)
Relatively low cost once produced
Against:
Not reusable to other tasks

Efficiency (gives high level of encryption / through put per Watt): The problem with this is that if the playing field is even for everyone, it does not matter. Its not like bitcoin’s block times have gotten better from when CPUs used to mine, 10 mins is 10 mins… The network used to be able to run on less electricity, now its pulling more then ever. So yeah while you are throwing more hashes per second, its all useless as its based on relative scaling of the rest of the network.

Relatively low cost once produced: Not really, developing silicon is expensive and time consuming weather it be a large company like AMD or small Bitmain. Its not like the ASIC companies are driving the silicon NM shrinking game, the big manufacturers are paying for it and the ASIC companies just reap the rewards of a new generation of chips.

Not reusable to other tasks: exactly and if its found the algo is broken, all of the equipment cant mine the new algo

If you are building a FTC Linux distro, would you mind also adding FTC mining?

@shadow1117 said in Mining GUI with stats and autorestart and so on:

im thinking about adding the feature of remote management like showing the graphs of an rpc capable miner on an other machine in the same network. Would that be a suitable case?

Yes if it is completely disabled by default

$2700/btc seems like the community is behind it

@RIPPEDDRAGON Oh look here come the up cycle, should set new ATH for BTC and FTC and then drop again 10-30% and start going back up a day or two later

@Loyal2FTC said in Too many traders, not enough enthusiasts:

Bunch o’ pussies taking piss-ant profits at 3000 sats driving the price down because they don’t give two F**@# about this coin. They probably don’t even know much about it. It’s history, technical stability, transaction capacity, reliability, developments over time, enthusiastic grass-roots community etc.

I am willing to trade a small portion of my coins but far beyond where it trades today. I’m talking 30,000 sats +. I have a long term view.

If you care about this coin and are actively trading it, don’t take small profits because you fear the price dropping. You are contributing to the drop. Ask yourself what the coin is truly worth and aim for that. Be patient and the trade will come. I have increased my coin holding 10 fold using this approach over several years.

If everybody had this mindset, the coin would be valued correctly. Think about it…

Cheers.

hahah welcome to crypto, its the day traders/bots, watch the trend though it going up with down cycles between each peak

@AmDD You da man

P2Pool mining for FTC is the best way

@Wellenreiter I know I would contribute if it was easier for me to access. Would probably depend on how rotten my brain feels after working all day for a startup’s website.
