Feathercoin is not a new innovation though is it? Deliberately avoiding securing it seems pathetically stupid. Let ASIC miners secure one's feathercoin wealth and move on to mine other things with one's GPUs seems a more sensible approach, glad that one's adaptable tools adaptable to new fresh coins are being freed up from the onerous task of securing the feathercoins one already mined...

It's been a long time since I paid any attention to feathercoin but...
Feathercoin was released with no innvoations but after several 51% attacks earlier in its life they came up with a new checkpointing system that supposedly helped stop that from happening. Outside of that its just another litecoin clone. Not to forget it was part of UNOCs which turned out to be a huge scam. For me FTC has absolutely no reason to believe in it as a real currency.
