Videos for Feathercoin
-
@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.
