I see, sorry for being such a n00b!

Thank you!

You are not alone. I first got a computer in 1997 and basically learned how to turn it on.
I was too lazy to actually apply myself to learning something useful. Now, I sometimes pay
dearly for that omission of acquiring helpful knowledge. I have sit for hours at a time, trying
to figure something out for myself, only at the end, having someone tell me it isn’t possible. Ugh
Those that did apply themselves to learn are dragging a heavy load along, that being those of us
that want/need something. I know the feeling. Even the little that I know, can be trying on my
patience for someone to ask me how to do a little thing. gulp
Feathercoin will be a long, trying period of history, before my neighbor next to me who knows
nothing about all this, can join in.

One step at a time! These are big music companies that have to be enlighten. Adoption at this level takes time, however if you were to know what my Twitter page is, you would be aware that I’ve already have set this in motion, not just for my fav band and good buddy (the manager) but for all the media sold by the top distributer of music in the states ;) What you suggested is to easy for me, I like a Higher level of difficulty! oh yeah please don’t encourage me or I’ll never get any sleep then! 8)

I started mining a few weeks ago as a winter hobby. And now I’m addicted. :o Figured I should sign up on the forum. I’m currently running a pair of 7850s and my old 6870. I’m excited to see how the community and the currency develop going forward.

It’s very simple and it is exactly the same as for Bitcoin and most -if not all- other coins.

The basis of the network are the miners. By mining, they generate the blocks, that contain all transactions. Miners connect to other miners and build the p2p network this way. The intensive in mining is, that each new generated (found) block has a given number of coins attached to it,
that will be owned by the miner finding that block. Currently it’s 200 FTC As it takes a long time to find a block when doing solo mining, miners build pools to accumulate their computing
power to find more blocks per day/hour when doing pool mining, every miner, that participated in the calculations to find a block get a percentage of
the coins contained in the found block. There are several calculation schemes, most common are PPLNS (pay per last number of shares) and PPS (pay per share)
you may google PPLNS and PPS for details

If you want to participate you have to:

download a Feathercoin wallet (see links on feathercoin.com) download a mining program most common programs are guiminer, cfminer and bfgminer. install/setup/run your wallet install/setup/run your mining program

Welcome to FTC :D

No, there’s no way around this when doing a straight upgrade.

If you want, once the reindex is complete, you can make a torrent of the re-indexed blockchain and offer that up to people as a way to avoid it. That would allow people to download the torrent instead of doing the reindex, but it’s questionable which one would be faster.

It’s just to avoid starting the old version accidentally.

After your wallet is upgraded, the old version can’t read the data files anymore.

Most of time everything runs smooth.

I’m not familiar with the post, but the most important thing is to have a backup of the old wallet data files or an export of your private keys.

That’s all you need to recover your coins in case of problems

Yes, 0.8.5.0-beta installed for me. It just doesn’t seem to connect to the network. I only have Windows Firewall and I allowed i through that, so I am at a loss here.

EDIT: It suddenly got one connection now. Syncing! :D

Thanks for the reply. My problem is with configuring the miner clients. I have tried CGminer, Pooler cpuminer and Scrypt miner. I have read some of the starting guides, and am still going through the rest. Hopefully, something will work. :-)

Update: Right after posting the above message, I managed to get the Pooler cpuminer to work.

Welcome to Feathercoin!

That would be a great idea. There seems to be a number of Feathercoiners in your state so it would be very interesting to see what you guys could come up with.

Nice income at 250/ day :P . I hope the difficulty wouldn’t rocket before I get started with mining :D
