Ooops, posted FTC address without noticing that my account was too new. Edited away, sorry.

I appreciated the interview Peter Bushnell gave on Let's Talk Bitcoin Episode 15. At first my thought was, "okay, its just like Litecoin except for a bigger block reward, so what, that doesn't make it a liter Litecoin". Peter's claim in that interview that they'll be looking towards being more innovative on future changes and not being conservative about them convinced me that FeatherCoin was worth a look.

Plus, FeatherCoin filled a niche for me -- I use an older computer that doesn't have the amazing power use scalability that newer CPUs have. I figured, I might as well do some CPU mining during idle cycles when I'm using this computer on an up and coming alt-coin and see if it takes off. Plus, electricity is cheap hyrdo-electric here in Winnipeg, so for the potential slight extra cost I might as well.
