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.
Its not forgotten, only ignored. And for good reasons.
I understand why bushstar do not bother to answer this question asked by mr_random.

What kind of childish bullshit line is that. why should he spend time on explaining anything to mr_random(aka trolly)... you have allready made up your mind about ftc, and the devs personally.
He has allready answered this type of question over and over again. Do some research before bluntly accusing people of lying, or question their choices.
Also note people, ftc is NOT ltc. why the hell should ftc follow the same formula for launch/envolvement like ltc.
like bushstar said (ps writing from memory so please dont quote me on this):
i watched the coins beeing out there, it stopped beeing fun to mine and be involved in those coins because i felt they had stopped evolving.
Decided to create my own which should be faster (4x) to mine than ltc, and that would be constantly improved/expanded.
Well the "fun"coin got popular, more people started backing it up. If bushstar knew then how far the coin would go he probably would have had higher start diff and tried to limit the starting mining speed.
The coin was not premined as proved earlier, and everyone had exactly the same chance to get onboard as everyone else. how long should he have been preannouncing it? 8 hour (beauty sleep),1 day?, 1week?, 1month? what about those fishermen thats 3months at sea? that still isnt fair for them is it, or the guy going to afghanistan in 4 days, when the coin doenst get release for a week, then he would be able to mine anything. Seems to me that those people that are upset that they didnt get in quick enough to get an quick mine and dump scheme which they get from so many other coins.
I remember a several weeks after its release i got around 3000ftc with my then 3mhash rig.
Now im barely able to get 600 with my 11mhash rig... the coin was super profitable to mine long after launch, if you had the balls to gamble on it.
I could have mined ltc instead and had a stable income. but i decided to mine something without value at that time. It paid of.
