To level the crypto currency playing field for Feathercoin, we - the Feathercoin Development Foundation - release the first version of Electrum-FTC.
More new software and wallets for Feathercoin (and Bitcoin - we plan to use the synergies of the ecosystem) will follow 🙂

Great work all involved, I may be mistaken but I think this makes Feathercoin the only Altcoin (other than Litecoin) to have a recent version of Electrum!

Yes! As far as I know the few other Electrum wallets that exist all aren’t on 3.X (therefore are not segwit ready).

We are leading here and soon also with Feathercoin Core (0.16) :))

Thanks :)

Small correction: all Electrum wallets I know off other than the Bitcoin and Litecoin one. We are still ahead of all the other Alts.

We are currently preparing the next release of Electrum-FTC (3.1) with a lot of bug-fixes from upstream.
