Peercoin has successfully forked to v0.14, adopting the ASERT PoW algorithm from Bitcoin Cash.
This responsive difficulty algorithm ensures Peercoin can swiftly adapt to dramatic hash power fluctuations, stabilizing the production of PoW blocks and reducing inflation.

About 5% remains before the Peercoin network hard forks to v0.14. If you are still minting on a v0.13 wallet, please take the time to upgrade. The latest version can be found here: https://github.com/peercoin/peercoin/releases

Does anyone know if Peercoin is divisible to six or eight decimal places? According to the official documentation, Peercoin should be divisible down to 8 decimal places. But everywhere else I only see six decimal places. Even entering getbalance in the qt wallet console only shows 6 places. The block explorer at chainz.cryptoid.info/ppc also only shows 6 places.

I've always seen PPC as a PoS currency, I haven't followed it for some time now and forgive my ignorance on this issue, based on what I've read I would like to know since when did it become PoW too (if it did)?
PPC is not just a PoS currency, it's where PoS was invented in the first place. But it's always had PoW as well.
In a pure PoS currency, initial coin distribution is a problem, and generally it needs a centralized authority that decides how the initial coins are given out. For example, the authority can be a company that sells the coins, which goes against everything in the original ideas of cryptocurrencies. So PPC used PoW to ensure that anyone can mine the initial coins in the same way as in Bitcoin, but the PoW block reward was designed to get smaller so that PoS would dominate in the long run.

As part of its mission to support the ecosystem, the Peercoin Foundation has covered the costs of integrating PPC on Slex.io, an exchange based in Lithuania (EU), which is managed by the same group that manages Slavi wallet (which also supports PPC). The pair we've asked for is PPC/USDC.
This listing is intended to help traders in the USA, who were blocked from Bittrex after the company stopped supporting trading by US customers. Slex.io currently supports depositing up to $15k using an unverified account without going through KYC.
Once your account reaches the deposit limit, basic verification is required to deposit more (but not to trade). A new account can be registered easily using only an email address (phone number not required).
Credit card deposits are available, and SEPA deposits will be available soon. The new market can be found here: https://slex.io/trade/ppcusdc

The adoption of v0.12 is currently sitting around 81%: https://fork.ppc.lol/
The network cannot fork until it hits 90%, so only about 9% remains. For those already minting, you can help push us over the edge by upgrading to the latest version. For minters that have already upgraded, you can still help by buying more PPC and adding it to the balance you are currently minting with. With more PPC minting, you will help increase the number of v0.12 blocks that get produced.
If you have never minted before, you can earn 3-5% by starting. Leaving your node minting 24/7 will earn you a higher reward than only turning it on occasionally. Putting your inactive coins to use here will help us fork faster. If you have any questions about the process, please ask below. Here are a couple tutorials on minting to get you started…
