...Q2. Why not move away from counterparty? It has become a pain to work with and makes everything more difficult. Simple things like moving coins attract like a $10 fee nowadays where in the past it was like $0.05. Why not give FLDC its own blockchain? It will also make it easier for devs to port over applications from bitcoin and make foldingcoin in general a real crypto not some token on another blockchain....

There's a hundred other options, including using a snapshot and porting into a Komodo asset chain, but the answer always comes back with something to do with the general lack of knowledge of how it all works. "Addresses" is the "go to" excuse, even though it takes very little actual knowledge to create an actual coin, use the same schema as Bitcoin, and add in a simple replay protection.

Tbh, this whole refusal to grow is why I said 'fek it', stopped folding, and put my dozens of 1080TIs to work mining equihash.

its not the creation of the coin that is the issue, its that everyone would need to change their usernames...

ty for proving my point.

It seems you didn't even bother to read the part where I said:

At some point, in order for FLDC to grow, this has to become more than a project run out of some random guy's garage/basement. At least talk to a dev or two before regurgitating the same tired line that's both technically and factually inaccurate.

I understand that we can just use the same address schema, but the creation of a new coin I still don't see as necessary at this point, and i do apologize for missing that in your question. Thats why i like Curecoin working with us so close, because they are trying the method of having their own blockchain, and everyone can earn both. So really the following things are going on:

FoldingCoin is seeing how can we give incentives through tokens for participation in FAH
Curecoin is seeing how a new independent blockchain can give incentives for participation in FAH

So really, their blockchain is trying to solve the issue you are talking about, which is why we encourage everyone to earn both. And also, yes its no secret that I am just a guy who started this in his garage with an idea, i have made this very known since the beginning, which is why we have brought on Miguel as the lead dev and Bill as the director, because they actually have knowledge in development and experience in coding, and i have none. Im just the administrator and board member now and I am learning more and more everyday. And you just thought me something now and i appreciate it Cheesy

Im not sure if your interested in helping, but if you want to have a more detailed conversation, please reach out to me at rross@foldingcoin.net because i really want this project to succeed, and I would love and encourage any criticism or ideas you may have Cheesy
