Some people made it known to me that they wanted to volunteer to be on the Peercoin/Primecoin team, but they didn't finish filling out the survey to sign up because they didn't have any specific area of expertise. There was no job listed that they felt comfortable volunteering for.
Because of this, we've set up a "General" category. If you don't have any specific area of expertise, but still want to volunteer and help out wherever you feel you can, try filling out the survey again and this time select the "General" category. Things are starting to move fast and we could sure use your help. The link to the survey is below.

We even have a position for something called the swarm. We'll post action items that need you to email an exchange or respond to forum threads or news articles to defend Peercoin/Primecoin. All you need for this is an understanding of how the coin works so that you can promote or defend it.

We will be having the round 2 interview of Sunny King on Oct 24th at 9:30 PM UTC. This will NOT be in IRC. It will be in the PeercoinTalk.org chat box. There was some confusion last time because there was a Sunny King impersonator in IRC answering questions. You need to be a member of the forum to view the chat box, so please register first.

My understanding of the white paper is that the coin age of the coins older than 30 days acts as a hashing multiplier. No luck yet for me, though I should have a few more coins reach the 30 minimum soon, so should hopefully see something happen soon.
Maybe 90 days is a better idea. I got my POS coins very soon after keeping them in my wallet after 90 days, but no luck with 30 days. October 17, 2013, 04:53:53 PM

I don't understand why its called long term energy efficient crypto. It used the same energy mining bitcoin and ppcoin right? or am I missing something.
From wiki : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PPCoin#Energy_efficiency
PPCoin's proof-of-stake system was developed to address the high energy consumption of Bitcoin.[1] For example, as of April 2013 the generation of Bitcoins was using approximately $150,000 USD per day in power consumption costs.[15] The proof-of-stake method of generating coins requires very minimal energy consumption; it only requires the energy to run the client software on a computer, as opposed to running resource-intensive cryptographic hashing functions.[1] During its early stages of growth, PPCoins will be generated by proof-of-work like Bitcoin, however over time proof-of-work will be phased out as proof-of-work difficulty increases and rewards decrease.[1] Proof-of-stake will then become the primary source of coin generation, which will lead to a decrease in energy consumption over time.[1]

I have some suggestions for improvement on the PPC has been sent to your mailbox, please check!

Has anyone setup a calculator which would tell you about how many coins equate to say BTC PoW hashing? i.e. how many PPCoin would I need to own PoS mining to equate to a GH/s or TH/s or MH/s mining BTC?

Do the coins just have to sit in the wallet to generate interest?
So coins on a paper wallet would generate interest too?

ok thanks ... gutted that this seems a lot more random and unlikely to actually generate the 1%pa I thought it would 
So whats the optimal transaction size for this to work? 10PPC will take so long to get a PoS that it'll never happen ... 10,000PPC and it'll be forever sat in the 30 day timeout ... whats everyone's experience on generating PoS blocks?
Cheers

Also, when you find a PoS do you have to wait another 30 days before they start getting coin days or once your through the 30 days once you don't have to wait again?
