It seems you are just trolling. Normally, if I get to learn something (and I learnt a lot from Balthazar's posts in this thread), I would be a bit respectful at the very least.

This was one of the later threads https://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php?topic=1878.0
There were threads earlier than this around the time of the first attacks when the suggestions cropped up. The thread titles were differently named so you can do some digging to find out.

No, I am not trolling. All new features are discussed and voted upon in feedback.feathercoin.com. It is the way to do it publicly. Discussing it in the forums is doing it privately. Besides, discussion doesn't mean that people want it. Voting for it in feedback section means that people want it. And how many votes did it get? ZERO. It didn't even get on the feedback ideas list.

I followed the ideas on feedback.feathercoin.com everyday, and there was no mention of any checkpointing, ever. This is completely out-of-the-blue for me (and I was the one who followed feathercoin progress), so what about people who were not following at all?

Fair enough.

I have never been to feedback.feathercoin.com, oddly enough. I usually stay in the main board and occasionally visit others. On why checkpointing is not there, my guess would be it was pretty much decided long back. As I said, the thread I posted earlier was one of the later ones, and there were quite a few discussions in the earlier ones. The decision to go with it was taken quite a long time back (during the first attack), and I recall by and large most were in favour of it as a short term solution.
