Death by further inflation of coin supply (this new fork)

OR

Death by really low hash/transfer rate (current fork)

Pick your poison. There really isn't much other options for FTC.

So basically FTC will die because you think it's crap. But then why do you folks care to pay attention for it?

Profit nothing more.

Almost got it right. As far as a profit motive, that's fantastic. As a free market guy, profit is a wonderful motivator and I'm grateful for the opportunity to participate in growing a product. What you got wrong was the 'nothing wrong' statement.

While everyone will attach to a coin for their own reasons, mine is interest in leading a community. As someone that's established in their career, I have the time/resources to work on projects I find interesting. I've had opportunities to lead grassroots campaigns in the past, I'm curious if the same 'stone soup' approach can work in the crypto community.

You are absolutely right, Feathercoin is barely a month old. I look forward to visiting with you in a year and see where we end up. I have teams working on everything from merchants to marketing. We've grown from a few stragglers on the official forum to over 700 strong. People dedicate THEIR time because that's where they choose to put their energy.

Not everyone needs the money. I know that's an evil phrase to say these days, but it's the cold hard truth. Some of us enjoy a great project and want to work with others to achieve it. While some look for every reason why something won't work, I try to keep my head down and continue to work.

Too many people here get the 'lolz' watching other people work. They simply want to see others fail. Instead of finding anything being done right, they will always find the opposite. Whether it's 700 or 7000 members donating time, there will always be those that will find a reason why they don't like us. That's fine, we have a community that won't be out worked.
