Just swinging by and am glad to see peercoin is still alive. This was my 2nd coin I purchased back in the day. I need to read up on what's going on with the project.

Where is the team hanging out these days?

It amazes me how the crypto makert chooses too ignore that the tether isn’t backed dollar for dollar which would be over 2 billion dollars and the same makert ignores the tremendous amount of electricity needed too maintain the bitcoin block chain the market won’t ignore either of these for ever and peercoin will go from over 3000peercoins too the bitcoin too maybe under 100 peercoin too the dollar

When the new peercoin website goes up should help coin price tremendously this peercoin team likes too move in slow motion but they do eventually get this done and they are building a superior block chain

Peercoin is a great alternative too bitcoin and it doesn't waste the huge amount of energy that bitcoin and litecoin and others do once peercoin gets listed on binance and coinbase we could see 200'dollar peercoin

When the tether fails and it will,sooner or later since it’s backed by nothing peercoin is a stable coin and  peercoin ratio of 200:peercoin too the bitcoin is more representive of fair value not the current 3000peercoin too the bitcoin

Peercoin building a superior block chain a return too being a top 25 coin is imminent

You're totally right, I already posted the comments on Github - I have an account there, although I wouldn't describe myself as a "developer" (and thus I clarified that there). However, I think it's not an error to bring a bit of "technical discussion" into this thread sometimes. I understand, however, that it may be frustrating to have to compete with all the spam in the Bitcointalk altcoin section and so there isn't much incentive to participate here.

Here is the packaging sleeve for the Peercoin StakeBox that we worked with PiSupply to design.

If peercoin was listed on binance the peercoin price would rise above 25dollars and if peercoin was listed on coinbase the peercoin price would go over 100 dollars both of these scenarios could happen in the near future

d5000, it is best to post your comments in the individual issue threads on GitHub. They will not see your input here. I can post your comments if you don’t have a GitHub account. Just let me know.

Thanks for sharing. I'll share my position to all RFCs here:

- #0002 (Coinstake Transaction Split)
- #0003 (Multisignature Minting)
- #0004 (Removal of TX timestamp)
... are necessary for the (important) "Cold Minting" feature. From my non-developer perspective I consider the reasoning behind them valid so I support them.

- #0005 (Unspendable zero-value outputs) seems reasonable. (In my opinion, the 0.01 PPC minimum output value limit is too high though), so support.
- #0006 (Remove Proof-of-Work Block Signature) - no opinion because I'm not understanding the implications fully.
- #0007 (Round Transaction Fees Up To 0.001) - Full support, 0.01 became already a bit high for simple transactions when the coin's value reached $10 (Peercoin has a small supply, so in another, stronger, crypto boom an unit could easily reach $100 or even more), and the rounding to 0.01 in my opinion makes no sense as the size, not the transaction number, is the most important bottleneck of blockchains.
- #0008 (Increase OP_RETURN Size Limit) - In this case I'm undecided, is it needed for PeerAssets? Most likely it will incentive using the blockchain for data storage, but if the 0.01 PPC/kB fee is not changed, then there should be no severe negative consequences.

Get involved with the next major release of Peercoin, v0.7! We’ve opened discussion on all seven of our active RFCs. Feel free to contribute during the review process. You can find the open discussion threads on GitHub here...

The new peercoin foundation will help get peercoin listed on more major exchanges like coinbase and binance

Ha! It seems the majority of people completely missed this little teaser from last Tuesday’s announcement, which was basically hidden out in the open. Some people from Reddit pointed it out though.

Edit: Looks like it was you.

And yes, that is the intention to help improve the pace of development. It will also help with stuff like marketing and act as a legal face for the Peercoin community to develop new partnerships. The PiSupply/StakeBox announcement from last Tuesday was the first example of a partnership made possible by the Peercoin Foundation.

No disrespect for one of the original cryptocurrencies, but what is the advantage of using peercoin for p2p transactions over others? I am already a fan of Proof of Stake however I'm not clear on the benefits I can expect if I were to use PPC for transactions.

First read this short description...

The Peercoin network activated in 2012 and is one of the first cryptocurrencies to ever be released. It is responsible for inventing proof-of-stake consensus, which makes it the first efficient and sustainable public blockchain technology. It is extremely low-cost to operate and requires very little energy to secure. In addition, it is also the first blockchain capable of allowing its protocol rules to be governed directly by its users (coin holders) rather than external miners, making for a network that is more decentralized, democratic and easily secured by people all over the world.

The Peercoin Team believes that adapting blockchains for wide scale use only through on-chain transactions will negatively affect the decentralization level and security of the network over time, therefore we choose to develop the Peercoin blockchain as a base layer settlement network with a sole focus on securing all forms of value recorded into the chain. This can be accomplished through Peercoin's philosophy of preserving and maximizing decentralization (which increases security) by developing the majority of features and technologies on top of the blockchain, rather than directly into the blockchain protocol itself.

Thus the Peercoin Team focuses on developing second layer protocols and sub-networks that can interact with the base layer blockchain to adapt it for wide scale use and improve functionality such as tokens, smart contracts and high speed low cost transaction processing. In this way, Peercoin will act as a secure and censorship resistant base layer for the future blockchain connected world.

There is no direct benefit when you're only considering how transactions compare from one blockchain to another. The benefits that really matter are the fundamentals behind the network. The economics driving Peercoin's security model are designed to be long-term sustainable. The true advantage of Peercoin is that it will still be around and securely functioning decades into the future while other blockchains succumb to economic, security and centralization failures. People have called Peercoin the nuclear bomb shelter of crypto in the past. It is because it was designed to last and that is a place I would want to store my tokens or other value.

Peercoin is the inventor of proof of stake consensus, which Ethereum is now trying to adapt. Several years ago Peercoin was a top 4 crypto until scams and ICOs drowned out the market. This foundation will help Peercoin to reestablish it’s place in the crypto market.

"Peercoin, also known as PPCoin or PPC, is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency utilizing both proof-of-stake and proof-of-work systems. Peercoin is based on an August 2012 paper which listed the authors as Scott Nadal and Sunny King"

The first Proof-of-Stake currency as well as one of the original cryptocurrencies.

What's the status of trying too get peercoin listed on binance

Very positive devolpmemt the forming of the peercoin foundation looking forward too great things from peercoin

The Peercoin Foundation is now officially open for business!

While PPC PiedPiperCoin soared tonight on SiliconValleyHBO, the real PPC also has some exciting news!

I doubt that. Many Bitcoin developers - and I think to remember that Charly Lee has said something similar - think that the Nothing-at-stake problem is too severe and that, for this reason, proof-of-work is the way to go. For this reason, I think it is very unlikely that they'll switch. They however will probably do everything to make mining more eco-friendly, e.g. promoting solar/wind-energy-powered mining farms. They could also switch to a "Proof of Capacity" algorithm (using pre-computing on hard drives for the hashes), which is still a PoW algorithm (without N@S) but very likely is much more energy-efficient with respect to the current PoW. (In a Burstcoin thread, I tried to find some numbers and it's likely that PoC consumes about 3-10% of Bitcoin's current PoW algorithm's consumption, considering a similar security level.)

Here I fully agree.

I look forward to cold minting, PeerAssets and other news to come.
