Owlie, where would you like to contribute…?If I have any projects coming up I will let you know and perhaps you could let me know if you can help… :)
Keep you ear tuned, looking to sort out another meet where we want to get the Ox University students involved, perhaps you would like to help on this…? ?
Keep me posted :)
Or any students or gamers involved :)
[/quote]I am going to to keep an eye out for projects I feel I could contribute to. I know it may be obvious given FTC is a cryptocurrency but a lot of what seems to be needed is computer knowledge. I am not a complete novice, I have an NVQ in IT and have run a couple of simple yet successful websites, however programming is not a strong point of mine. I like art and writing but not really sure how these skills could translate, maybe with flyer / leaflet / poster designing is about the best idea I have off the top of my head. I’m not sure how I could help with an Oxford meetup as I live in Devon, but if there is anything you think could help and be done from a distance I’ll try to help out. :)

Artwork is allways appreciated!
Also writing skills is great.
For example a great way to contribute is to make tutorials/guides, being a “newbie” as you stated is great for that stuff.
Since you know exactly what you felt was/are missing regarding starting from scratch. Maybe you found learning how to grasp the concept of digital wallet was hard? in that case why not write a guide/article about it. (just an example) :D -

[/quote]This sounds like a really interesting idea. Maybe writing a newbie guide is a great way to contribute. Maybe some sort of introduction to FTC for the complete novice, like what is cryptocurrency, the basic concept of a digital wallet, the differences between BTC, LTC and FTC, etc…

Maybe a FTC session in Devon/Cornwall ;) My fave part of the world.

[/quote]Yeah sure I will give it a go. A newbie explanation of Cryptocurrency, including concept, block chain, digital wallets, mining, positive / negative, usage and coin examples / differences (BTC, LTC, FTC). Cool. Would you be able to proof read it if I PM you before I post it on the forum? :)

Owlie, that’d be great, its something we can use when talking to students / gamers and merchants and the general public when introducing them to FTC :)

[/quote]Started work on it tonight. Just happy I can help. :)

Did about two hours work on this newbie guide last night and just did another couple. Think I’m about 75% done. Learnt a lot myself writing it so hopefully will help others. Can someone proof read it for me when I think I’m done? Have written in notepad (.txt) can email or simply copy and paste into a PM. :)

From browsing this forum I can see that Feathercoin is definitely a community coin and has a lot of support. I really want to get involved in supporting Feathercoin myself, as I see it as the most exciting crypto at the moment. I was wondering what is the best way to get involved? Mining is an obvious way but beyond CPU I don’t currently have the hardware mine. I hope this will change when I have saved up for a basic rig but for now it is not an option. Are there any suggestions or opportunities to get involved with the Feathercoin community. I am a relative newbie based in the UK with just a few months experience using BTC, LTC and FTC. Any guidance much appreciated so thanks in advance. :)
[/quote] Well cpu mining is quite slow (so is GPU mining if you are like me using Nvidia) but if you get a few FTC to start you can do trading on a couple sites like bter.com . I am testing the waters a bit with them as I am still new to a lot of this…but hey it’s fun. -
I think my newbie guide is finished. What should I do with it now? ;D

Owlie, Please, send it to me ruth.bushnell@feathercoin.com
If anyone with tech background can harp in too that would be great :)
