Re: Feathercoin Advanced Checkpointing released today
by
triciam
on 29/08/2013, 02:00:55 UTC
Congratulations to Feathercoin for now adding extreme legal hazard to its already amazing record of technical failure.  By becoming a centralized virtual currency, Feathercoin has now become de facto controlled by a single entity and is thus at risk of government crackdown like what happened to Liberty Reserve.  The owner of the checkpoint key also puts themselves enormous personal risk.

The track record of technical incompetence of Feathercoin development is clear and quite humorous.

* Despite claiming that Feathercoin is about innovation, Feathercoin hasn't fixed ANY OF THE BUGS since copying the old Litecoin 0.6.3 source.  They have had months of opportunity to copy critical bug and security fixes from Litecoin 0.6 or to upgrade to 0.8.

* To add to this further, when Bushstar copied Litecoin, he failed to change the alert private key (which was seriously bad), but the way Bushstar responded made it even worse.  Instead of replacing the alert key with his own, he disabled alerts entirely making it impossible to alert all users that they need to upgrade in the event of a future emergency.

* Also the way that Feathercoin modified its difficulty formula without understanding what he is doing and without modifying the pool software created that breathtakingly awesome time-travelling exploit.
 
Feathercoin has managed to fix no bugs, added more bugs, make themselves a regulatory hazard that is highly likely illegal as a centralized virtual currency, and has failed to upgrade to 0.8 despite months of source code access to litecoin.  Amazing.

The excuse against centralization being bad where individual users can remove or disable checkpoint enforcement is a meaningless lie.  If the major pools enforce checkpoints, then it doesn't matter if the users are enforcing broadcast checkpoints.

They will add it. And NMC. Mark (the owner) said so, why do people believe what some random support guy says Tongue

Seriously, random support people rarely know what's really going on and have a tendency to spout garbage.

Patience is required... MtGox has had some unforeseen issues these last few weeks.

Does cgminer see both cards? You can tell it which card to use GPU 0 vs GPU 1

run cgminer with the -n option to have it show you all the cards it sees and which number they are.

Then I think you can use -d # to chose or set it up in the config.

Re: where can I buy some Litecoins?

I'm just going to echo the guys above. btc-e and vircurex are the way to go.

If you don't mind starting with bitcoin, you could get a coinbase account, buy bitcoin from them, and then transfer the bitcoin to btc-e or vircurex and exchange it for litecoin.

All I know is I see a lot of butthurt from very big names in the Bitcoin community.

Saving your words for after LTC hits Gox.  You do know it is going to Gox right?  

I believe this is where we are:

"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."

We are about to move to win folks.  Cheers.

+1 to that!
