The article really doesn't do a good job of answering why was it developed. Why do we need feathercoin? It's a litecoin fork. What improvements does it offer? "4x more coins"? Ok, but how does that add value? I'm all for innovation, but feathercoin doesn't seem to be doing it.

Dunno.

From a Crypto-Anarchy sort of perspective I would have thought diversity, even if it's Malibu Stacy with a new hat. The more systems the better.

Entropy I would have though is the enemy of control.

But could it weaken litecoin? Not sure. Could it allow more hedging and a stronger market, intuitively I would have though so.
