Network appears to have successfully switched to the new network protocol. If you experience any problem please report here. You shouldn't be seeing the process tx message exception in debug log any more. Instead you might be seeing something about MESSAGESTART NOT FOUND and this is expected.

Reminder that upgrade to 0.2.0 before Monday is required.

Network protocol will be switched automatically at some time around Monday September 10th 18:00:00 UTC. Nodes that have not upgraded before the switch will be disconnected from the main network.

I will monitor the protocol switch and give updates on Monday.

Is this true?
520 confirmation?
Bitcoin atleast needs 6 confirmation & that too called very slow.
Seems ppcoin wont be used in anywhere, coz it will take years to get confirmation alone.
520-block maturity only applies to block minting. For Bitcoin this parameter is 120-block maturity.
As for user transactions how many confirmations you wait is entirely up to you and market concensus. Generally speaking the larger amount you send/receive the more confirmations you should consider waiting. Currently the network is protected by central checkpointing so transactions are pretty safe. In the future it would be decentralized and work similarly to Bitcoin. 
I would suggest waiting at LEAST 6 confirmations as currently with PPC. I've noticed a few times where confirmation counts on my current transactions where bouncing back and forth on a 2-3 transaction/block orphan rate.

Its only the mined blocks that take 550 confirmations, transactions take less confirmations i believe

I've been mining at your pool for days now with the same username as here.
Still no verified balance.
Pretty sure my solo blocks didn't take this long to mature.
Any chance you could have a look at what is going on?

Thanks

It can take a few days for blocks to be verified.

I have been solo mining full speed for a couple-few days and as of now I have 111,789 PPC and only 8,975 have matured into a balance.

The PPC project in the beta stage, so as the coin matures and comes closer to the release stage, these issues should be taken care of.

Blocks take 520 confirmations to mature.

I have an idea, and am not sure why I didn't think of it.

I'm going to make a web-wallet that lets you put in your remote RPC. This will let you control your wallet remotely.
I will create a LIVE SHA256 of the site + tarball'ed SHA256 so you know I'm not saving your information.

This...will be coded one day. I've got a lot of people trying to contact me at once. Which explains why the pool's site has been jacked up for the past few days. >.>

Not sure I follow you. Don't you need to save user rpc username and password in a database? Sounds dangerous to me.
Not if you use cookies or session tokens.

not showing balance or showing balance 0
any way to know balance?

I don't see anything in the link somehow. Do you still have trouble with balance? If so please describe in detail how did you upgrade and what you see in getinfo and listtransactions.

No. 0.2.0 is still based on Bitcoin v0.6.3. Besides qt gui is not supported yet.

I freshly built from github on OSX and get endless exceptions:
ProcessMessages(tx, 226 bytes) : Exception 'CDataStream::read() : end of data' caught, normally caused by a message being shorter than its stated length

As mentioned in a different post, I believe this is to be expected and will only cease after the protocol switch on the 10th.

Cheers
