Bushstar would you like to explain why you made no pre-announcement of the launch? (I guarantee we don't get an honest answer to this question).

Bumping this yet unanswered question, so it doesn't get forgotten about.

"(I guarantee we don't get an honest answer to this question)."

As long as you guarantee it, it must be true. Wink

I guess I should be upset since I came into the coin (not through mining) days later. You guys crack me up with this nonsense. The guy releases a coin, has no idea it's going to take off the way it did, some people mine and we're still talking about it. Imagine if the same energy was spent going after merchants, developing tools and attracting new investors.

Maybe I'm not crypto cool, I'm lost here half the time on this 'it's only fair' nonsense. Litecoin's release was wonderful, I literally have a slow clap going on as I type. Bushstar didn't follow that path. Here's the kicker, if you didn't like the release, why bother participating in the conversation? Coins released everyday, find one that interests you personally. Some people on here treat coin releases like religion. I admit, it's a bit creepy at times. Just my 00000010 cents.

When I came into Feathercoin, I basically accelerated the process. The history is fairly straightforward:

- I was in BTC-e trollbox listening to yet another 'Fontas Chickun Pump' and someone mentioned Feathercoin
- I wasn't into mining, I just traded with some of the guys on here through the Google Docs Exchange like XorXor and Cyberdyne
- I met a few people through this forum, I liked their ideas about the coin. They didn't fit the classic alt section poster, I felt at home.
- I posted a few grassroots type ideas and got the typical Bitcointalk treatment. You know, "that's gay, that sucks, blah blah"
- Talked with a few people here and they invited me to the official Feathercoin forums
- Decided to contribute a few ideas and it went from there
- Decided to pull in my own resources out of my own pocket. Why? Here's the part I feel many have forgotten (drum roll) the forum made it fun
- I helped organize large grassroots campaigns in the past and had experience in c-level project management.. decided to volunteer some time
- Volunteering 'some' time turned into quite a bit of time

Oh well, there will be people on both sides of the issue, I'm heading back to work. If you don't like the promotion of Feathercoin in the past, you're really going to hate life in the coming weeks.

+1 I wasnt a miner of feathercoin, still am not. But i support what the community there is doing. They appear to have the right motives and focus.
