Dont worry It is normal other coins have pump and dump scheme and lot of pr.It is so easy to invest 2BTC to but some of your own private coin and raise the price dramatically the trading volumes of those coins are so small and easy to manipulate  enjoy the time you can mine coins easily you will miss it. stay cool 8)
In Fast We Trust

Dogecoin has a very very high number of coins, a unfair but lucrative block reward for early miners and lastly but not the least... a cute puppy.   

The only thing to consider mimicking is using cute animal puppies in marketing. Who would not support the endangered cheetah (https://www.google.se/search?q=cheetah+cub&tbm=isch)? Everyone knows kittens go viral on the internet.

On a serious note though I think we should not use too much cheetahs, it takes away from the impression of the seriousness of the transaction system that is fast even though cheetahs are cool and cute. (yes I'm guilty of using a cheetah image). Fastcoin is not Cheetahcoin, and cheetah images can only be used a little I think.

Also I think that the section "the case for fast coin" on the main site does more damage than good. The main case for fastcoin is that it is fast, functional and has a selfexplanatory name. The graph similaritites mentioned on the page are statistically insignificant, meaning that while fastcoin may explode like bitcoin, the graph similarities does not imply it necessarily being so, meaning the graph similarities make no case at all for fastcoin and claiming so makes a bad impression (at least on me as a hobby mathematician/statistician and trader).  Fast, functional and selfexplanatory, that's the main case for fastcoin in my humble opinion.

It's also fairly launched (slow release=small initial market cap), and has a growing community.

Let me say something about the doge bagholders and a little about the doge itself.

LOL,

Thank you for that J,

you always remind me with not only your development skills, but the fact that you possess a great sense of humor and wit which clearly demonstrates the intelligence you possess.  We are lucky to be in your company ;-)

As far as any Crypto coin moving fast or slow on the Coin Market Cap website, a word of caution to all.  You cannot allow yourself to be sucked into the false pretense of speculative money chasing every new coin that makes its way to this chart.  It is far more important to focus on Community support, development base, and merchant adoption.

We are very proud to see our Community support flourish, in particular the recent addition of this forum and the fact that we are rapidly approach 3 digit membership.  To further our Network Difficulty continues to climb at a steady rate which also demonstrates the thousands of miners slowly testing and moving towards our coin.  We have recorded on several occasions our Hash Rate surpass 1GHs and we have been for most of the month of December past 400 Mhs on average.

Our development base continues to grow with Jase leading the charge and many others wishing to also assist with this initiative.  We have managed to develop wallets for Windows, Mac, Android and recently Linux clients have also been in the mix.  We look forward to having an iOS version for the iPhone out in the first quarter of 2014 as well!

Finally our merchant adoption is also growing with more and more online retailers continually communicating to us looking for ways to accept our coin for payment.  This is a "Network  Effect" and will continue to grow with our every day efforts as we continue to ensure these three key areas develop in the future.

On that note, I would implore all FastCoin supporters to cast your very critical vote to the following forum on Bitcointalk.org

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=276455.new#new  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=276455.new#new)

This is a very important step for us to enable merchant services to accept FastCoin for payment.  We have been waiting patiently for a long time for this and now it may seem like we have the opportunity to act on this!  Please visit the above link and be sure to let them know you want FastCoin to be listed as one of the coins they offer for merchant services.

All the best to all of you for an exciting and prosperous 2014!

Sincerely

Cheetahx

Hello and thanks and also best wishes for all for 2014

I followed the given link https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=276455.new#new to bitcointalk and found the most recent voting for new coins accepted by https://CoinPayments.net to be closed (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=360706.msg4012380#msg4012380). Hopefully we can get many votes in for the next opportunity.

I did also find the topic (Poll) What is the next altcoin that will succeed? (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=363815.0) and lay my vote on Fastcoin, which unfortunately was the first vote for fastcoin  :-\ . You can go there and vote for fastcoin.

Also for newcomers to bitcointalk like myself, to vote at bitcointalk you have to register a profile there. In the registry process you are informed that as a new member you cannot post outside of the newbie section, I'd like to point out this does not mean you cannot vote elsewhere though so just go ahead and register and vote for fastcoin. Have your friends register and vote too! This should be possible also when the next inclusion poll for coinpayments.net is held and probably announced in the topic linked by Cheetahx.

Done  ;D

Good to see Fastcoin developing slowly. Huge and out of control growth is never a good sign for a crypto currency. I've sold off most of my crypto coins. But I am keeping my Fastcoins, because I know that this is a currency worth a long-term investment in.

Despite a lot of work I've got at the moment, I'll try to keep going on the development of my Fastcoin wallet client, so that hopefully we may have something that puts Fastcoin well ahead of the game.

I think it's also important to remember than an economy won't win simply on it's statistics alone. If Fastcoin is truly to succeed, we need to bring in developers working on a wide range of tools that make the transition from PayPal and Bitcoin to Fastcoin as smooth as possibly, while also aiding those who are already part of the community. I have a wide range of ideas cooking up, some of which I might put into practise. Hopefully others here will have the same, and we can see a stable growth appearing in Fastcoin.

It's awesome to be part of a community like this :)

The new vote (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=397540.0) is accepting candidate coins and will open on monday!

But it seems fastcoin is already accepted

https://www.coinpayments.net/index.php?cmd=supported_coins

!

Ideally we would have a lower absolute transaction fee, though, now it's 0.1 FST but coins with less than double value have one tenth, 0.01, in absolute transaction fee. These relations might make people choose other coins than FST because they have lower transaction fees and people just like to optimize. Has someone talked to CoinPayments about this?
