Videos for Feathercoin
-
Revised
Currency and payments are moving into a new era, the era of blockchains. Securing space on a blockchain now for research and development is key. Its important to pick a blockchain that has proven the test of time and is well supported. Also consider how capable the blockchain is. Is it fast? Are its blocks designed to handle heavy traffic? Feathercoin is ready for high volume payment services today. Feathercoin offers value as well, a modest investment can secure a sizeable percentage of the entire blockchain. A similar investment in Bitcoin can only purchase a minuscule fraction of the entire blockchain - prepare to be a small voice in a very large hall. The Feathercoin blockchain is functionally ready for your business now, and its enduring community and skilled developers are eager to work with you. Invest wisely in function and value. Choose Feathercoin, the better blockchain.

not my ideas, but i definitely agree with it to decimal point:
the mainstream is interested in “blockchains” now, but they don’t yet understand it. They’re starting to realize that Blockchain = Bitcoin…eventually they’ll realize Blockchain also = Altcoins. Then they will start doing comparisons. Suppose you are an investor from some sort of bank or payment processor. Here are your options if you want to get into blockchains:
1)Launch a decentralized blockchain (you as creator lose control of it)
2)Launch a centralized blockchain (serves no purpose as you still have high level security concerns and the blockchain can’t run autonomously)
3)Buy up a small fraction of Bitcoin’s blockchain for a lot of money
4)Buy up a large fraction of an altcoin blockchain for very little moneyMany of the alt coins also have solutions for block sizes, better anonymity, better distribution and all sorts of other technical advantages

@mirrax haha! Thanks Mirrax, that was me who said that on Bitcointalk! We’re on the same page here, good news. :)
-
an idea could be to throw in how long the feathercoin blockchain has been running for?
-
@aciddude Yea thats smart, I’ll add that in as well. Busy week, hopefully i’ll get this put together for us this week.
-
@aciddude I actually thought it might be smart even to mention the hard fork…maybe in another video. On the one hand some people might look at it negatively, but I think it shows the resilience of the community and feathercoin name to make it through that alright. Also with all the talk of Bitcoin potentially needing to hard fork for blocksizes, it looks good on feathercoin to have gone through that very publicly and even as the coin is well established.

I didnt realize Primecoin was ever that high on the list.
Maybe once day FTC will be back up there…

Maybe it will, I’ve seen way weirder things to happen.
For example Dogecoin…top5 coin? Seriously? C’mon… -

I know right? I think its got to have some wealthy backers who keep the price inflated.

Am I wrong in thinking Bitcoin went through a hardfork in the early days ?
I think it’s a great idea to show FTC was able to HardFork successfully and after the fork…It’s still here!

Indeed, we did a hard fork with the switch to Neoscrypt and it worked like a charm :)

In fact we survived several hard forks :D
-
Whilst I agree with @Wellenreiter, the Hard Fork’s went OK, they were actually extremely complex to pull off and took a lot of work. especially by Bush, Wellenreiter, Ghostlander and I.
For instance although we switched to Neoscrypt, old transactions are still in Scrypt.
The other complex problem was calculating the Difficulty, especially during the change over when some difficulties needed old 2.5 minute transaction and non eHRC data to calculate the current Difficulty.
Compared to that, the Bitcoin hard fork looks a bit like a walk in the park…

@wrapper Cool, thanks for this explanation. I know nothing of coding. My understanding with Bitcoin’s early forks is that they were also easy because at the time the community running it was very very small. There weren’t yet any strong opinions or sides formed over how and why any change should be implemented on a blockchain. Thats why I think its both a testament to your coding prowess, but also to the name and community.
