I believe Feathercoin might have survived and done well if Chinacoin, Bitbar, etc, didn't come out.
Feel free to visit the forums. Just because we're not fontas's pump/dump toy doesn't mean we're not pushing forward. A few solid announcements coming soon.
Don't get me wrong, I hope Feathercoin succeeds (I still have a few) but it would have been so much better if Chinacoin didn't come out when it did.
