      [b]Information[/b]
      FeatherCoin is a fork of Litecoin using its latest build. I am a supporter of Litecoin and will be following Litecoin’s patches and releases. The Litecoin team is currently working on a newer release and this project will move with them.

      One of Litecoin’s biggest advantages is the Scrypt-based hashing algorithm. This offers a different solution to Bitcoin, while still being able to run on GPUs. There are many Bitcoin forks using the original hashing algorithm, but with the advent of ASIC mining hardware, we are starting to see how much trouble they can cause. ASIC mining hardware is expensive, but outperforms GPU hardware and will eventually make GPU Bitcoin mining redundant. Scrypt based crypto currency is safe guarded from the effects of ASIC mining.

      Feathercoin has a block reward of 200 coins and will have a total of 336 million coins. This makes it four times that of LiteCoin, this is the same position that LiteCoin was set against BitCoin.

      Default port is 9336 â€" Forwarding this port can help if you have connection problems
      Default RPC port is 9337 - This is the port is point your miners towards if solo mining
      2.5 minutes block target
      504 blocks to retarget difficulty
      41.4% maximum change on difficulty retarget
      Block reward halves every 840,000 blocks

              If you’re a newbie ignore the daemon. It is more for servers or those who want a minimal install.

                              add vircurex to the list of exchanges, and for the love of god stop promoting cryptonit. you are also missing black jack @ [url=http://199.175.52.146]199.175.52.146[/url] :-\ ~ check the thread for Free 0.3 coupon codes. You can wager this any way you like 0.1, 0.01 etc… although you probably want to work your way up if your going to bust the dealer. there is no insurance, its straight up blackjack for the Feathercoin masses. max bet currently 5 ftc. soon to be raised to 10ftc. just dont use cryptonit what ever you do.

                                      Not sure if it’s just me or not, but when I try to download the updated windows client I get an https error. if I go direct to http:// then it lets me download.

                                      I mentioned this on the bitcointalk forums in the FTC thread also.

                                      Things are looking like they’re moving along pretty good!

                                      :)

                                        I think there we just a few issues getting the client uploaded, linked, updated on the feathercoin.com site. I noticed it was missing last night too, seems to be resolved now.

                                            Great to see both how many new exchanges have added FTC to their lineup as well as the new pools popping up. Just joined a second one today after my first pick was making server upgrades.
