BCG consultant looking to contribute to FTC
-
@wrapper Wow, chill man. I’m not saying these are facts, nor am i arguing they are. These are not my opinions, these are the perceptions in the market. If it’s conjecture that’s easily overcome with facts, then it should be relatively easy to position FTC ahead of both coins.
Further, if these ARE indeed the perceptions in the market, then it’s paramount for the dev team and community to make sure the message is tightened up so nobody can FUD FTC or prop up VTC/GRS. Know what I mean?
-
@alkaline18 The features you’re suggesting require a hard fork and a lot of preparation time. It’s unclear if most of the community will follow. A sizable part of the community left in 2014 after the introduction of NeoScrypt which they thought was a bad move. Time told it wasn’t, but major changes were never easy.
-
@Alkaline18 Please don’t shoot the messenger. Imagine I am your PhD supervisor asking about this weeks progress, then read my comments again.
I wasn’t being “un-chill”, I was trying to get you to expand on what you found. i.e Brainstorming.

I’ll bet y’all won’t fight!! :laughing:

@wrapper @ghostlander These are the opinions I’m talking about. Some people think it’s a derivative coin and that stigma needs to be overcome. Are we just going to argue with these people in one-off reddit threads? No, b/c that’s completely untenable. We need to tighten up this operation/messaging and get our ducks in a row so that these baseless opinions don’t sway potential FTC entrants.
Since this is a volunteer project, and people are short on time, I am 100% willing to organize everything for the next couple of months while I’m “on the beach” between projects. I can build out our collateral, which can be pinned to the top of the subreddit, which will answer a lot of questions a potential FTC investor would have. We can’t expect a person curious about FTC to comb through forum threads. Also, not tenable. This needs to be public facing and incredibly easy to access. I also think we need to put together a 6 month operational plan and get some community funding for projects that move the ball up the field.
Would the two (and any other key devs) be willing to do a call/skype with me to discuss a path forward?
-
@Alkaline18 - I wouldn’t call myself a “key dev” … but I would be willing to jump on a call to hear what you have to say and possibly pass it on to the rest of the team members.
I agree that we should have 1 pinned post on Reddit explaining stuff as Reddit is massively used by the crypto community.
Having one central information place / timeline of what has happened to FTC so far and at What date would be amazing.
Here’s a good place to start

@ghostlander @wrapper this was the link I was referring to in my post. Not sure why it was redacted https://www.reddit.com/r/FeatherCOin/comments/7bxgbd/stagnant/

@acidd Thanks for offering AcidD-- i think the easiest way would be to get everyone together instead of communicating via proxy. You’re welcome to join the call if we can set one up though. Btw, what projects do you generally work on ?
-
@alkaline18 FTC hasn’t got much done about marketing, that’s true. There are many coins out there with clueless devs and copy-paste tech, but they do rather well thanks to aggressive marketing approach. Although I wouldn’t mind if FTC gets more outreach indeed.
I don’t do Skype, but we can have a Google hangout set up for a discussion.

I contribute to the Feathercoin github with small bug fixes etc. I also fixed the unit tests for 0.9 and I’m working on 0.11 . I help mod the forums and sub-reddit, I also run a public block explorer and API for Feathercoin. I do the official Mac and Windows binaries for our releases.
Happy to do a google hangout like @ghostlander suggested.
-
@AcidD @ghostlander Excellent-- a Google Hangout is great. want to aim for the end of the week/weekend? Anyone else we should add in?
-
@alkaline18 I would love to be part of this conversation also. Thanks.

Yep that works for me.
-
@alkaline18 Yeah, I can make that work.
-
Guys, PM me your Google emails, so I can add you to the hangout.
-
I would also like to hop in, is that possible? :)
-
Im a rookie to this space, so I don’t know what I could add, but I would like to be a part as well…unfortunately, I will be in the woods, hoping to see Bambi!

I found this interesting and enlightening discussion at Nexus conference about Blockchain and freedom.
