But in the long run I do not see FTC as relevant anymore as it is behind the curve of coin development. Laggards end up holding the bag.

I'm curious (honestly curious, not trying to be an ass about what you write) what you base that impression on. When I look at FTC I see a dedicated community of people and a lot of projects going on that have the possibility to push things in a better direction. I see a will to change things for the better, without to much conservatism trying to keep things as they've always been. I also see a coin where influence and new ideas are pretty easy to push for even though you might be a total newcomer to the community.

With that said, yes of course I'm biased (I can probably be labeled as a fanboy). The fact that I see these things, and you seem not to, tells me that we might be way to private about our stuff over at our own forums. Can we improve our coin & community, probably

I've followed FTC community for over a year...do you realize how much talking has gone on without actual action? Many of the "developments" that have gone on were merely changing mining parameters to suit themselves and not to keep the rules as is from the beginning. Current events form future trends. FTC was a absolute copy-paste of the Litecoin code base as the alert system was still linked to the Litecoin network meaning FTC clients were getting Litecoin updates which I thought was quite funny.

Do not get me wrong. The people of FTC are likely good people, I just see nothing inspirational that makes me or others want to jump in and add any of our developments, insights, and marketing etc to it as there is little to no value there from a purely crypto-coin perspective.

What you see and what I see are different perhaps because I was there when it launched and went through UNOCS, Jon M., etc.

Perhaps I will be proven wrong, but I do not see FTC being used by the average joe en masse in any meaningful way.
