I haven't read anything about it being merged-mine-able, yet it claims to be energy-efficient.
I don't' see a lot of efficiency in requiring the use of more electricity instead of simply adding it to one's merged-mining lineup...
So far it thus looks less energy-efficient than Namecoin, Devcoin, Groupcoin, I0coin, Ixcoin, and Coiledcoin, all of which can all be mined at once using less added electricity in total for the lot of them than this newfangled thing uses...

I have been mining since release but haven't yet found a block.. I am using cgminer with a single 6950 with locked shaders and I'm on wifi to my adsl router ):

BTW do I get anything for posting a ppcoin address?

I tried to get the client running but it says something about RPCpassword and such 
Anyone care to help me?
//DeaDTerra
Anyone care to help me?
//DeaDTerra
you need to make ppcoin.conf
in ./ppcoin folder
and it contains
rpcuser=bitcoinrpc
rpcpassword=
but it doesn't work
//DeaDTerra
//DeaDTerra
I have similar issue as mentioned by DeadTerra....
Message says that there is no file is there C:... /ppcoin/ppcoin.conig....blah blah
Yet I had created the file etc.. was editing it and not sure why still getting message....
RESOLVED - Looked in the folder where the config file should have been .. and there were 2 files as one wa already created... and with all the lines commented out... altered the lines
rpcuser=User
rpcpassword=pass
and that got rid of that error message
However now i just get blank screen on running ppcoind.exe
Any ideas.. setting in config i take it... alredy allowed access through firewall.

- Initial release is command line (daemon) only. If you don't know how to use it read Bitcoin wiki and our wiki or ask others for help.
- Proof-of-work difficulty starts at 256 and then continuously adjust (same as bitcoin hash algorithm)
- No premine. See the prerelease thread. Release build was published 5 minutes before block chain start time
- Checkpoint will try to checkpoint *every* proof-of-work block. This way malicious powerful miners can't kick good nodes' blocks. We will review this policy after the network begins to mature.

You get to "mine" proof-of-stake by holding-and-spending coins in a manner that maximizes their age.
In principle, the idea is rather good.
In this implementation - not so sure

I still do not understand proof of stake very well. Do miners collect transaction fees just by holding coins?

@Sunny King how can the diff be that high?
It is that "high" because it is not scrypt based. Standard SHA256.then i'll need to ask, how can i mine with scrypt ??
You can't, because it's based off SHA256.
Sure i can Simran, else i would not say if.. doh..

not sure then, sorry..

What miners is this supporting ?
Any miner should work. I'm using cgminer.I gave it a password, still didn't work. Must the pass have certain characteristics.
//DeaDTerra
Hmmm, no idea. There are no special password requirements, a single character should work even. //DeaDTerra

"blocks" : 58,
Premined blocks? - since that high diff, i can't see how they can be mined just now?
OP released a link to the source in the other thread at the promised time (5 min before 18:00 UTC) There was no premine. By the time I had built from source and got things running, there were 5 blocks mined.Premined blocks? - since that high diff, i can't see how they can be mined just now?
