460K feels a bit off, there should be less than 100K minted from proof-of-stake I think.

I think Andy hasn't been maintaining the proof-of-stake.com site since March. But Andy is around, he just recently volunteered to represent PPC in September's EU bitcoin conference.

FYI, I just made an improvement to my charts website for proof-of-stake currencies.  You can now see how many stake blocks are generated over time, the separate work and stake difficulties, and how much currency was minted due to each.

About 460,000 PPC has been minted in proof-of-stake blocks.  That's about 2.3% of the total supply. (There was a bug in my code.)
About 58,000 PPC has been minted in proof-of-stake blocks.  That's about 0.3% of the total supply.

nice charts
does anyone know what happened to proofofstake.com ?  
I liked those charts, until they stopped updating..

I wrote a paper titled "Raising the Visibility and Adoption of PPCoin". I have already sent a copy to Sunny and Scott. I also wanted to share it with the PPCoin community: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/cqaupq6sejv99wr/pr_8U-iBN1/RaisingTheVisibilityAndAdoptionOfPpcoin.pdf

Abstract
Peer-to-peer coin is a digital cryptocurrency based on Bitcoin that employs a proof-of-stake/proof-of-work system (King & Nadal, 2012).  Like Bitcoin, PPCoin utilizes a SHA-256 hashing scheme for proof-of-work, and for transactions handling. PPCoin was created by software developers Sunny King and Scott Nadal in 2012.

In this paper, I offer a proposal for how to raise the visibility and adoption of PPCoin. My idea would involve setting up a website that encourages people to use PPCoin to purchase high ticket items at a cost that is highly subsidized by advertising.  All transactions on the website would take place in PPCoin. This would encourage users to exchange other currencies for PPCoin, and it would encourage advertisers to obtain PPCoin to fund their ad campaigns. To take advantage of PPCoin's energy efficiency, the website would sell “green” high ticket items such as Chevy Volts, Toyota Priuses, Tesla Model S cars, and other symbols of green energy efficiency.

Very cool

Regardless, it's a fantastic buying opportunity in my opinion if you are long term with ppc (5-10 years).

I'm trying to get as much ppc as I can. The only problem is that I'm just not making money fast enough to buy it at these low prices.  Sad

why the recent drop in prices??

Ask yourself what you can buy with PPcoins that you can't buy with USD or Bitcoins and that should answer it.

The website really needs work... Is a new one underway? If not I can put something together if it will actually get used.

We've been trying to raise $300 to finish off the logo with a design contest. Once that's done we can build a new website around the design of the logo, but it's been slow going in raising the money. We're currently at $95 and Reddit won't let me post about it to gain exposure. That's why I wanted to know if Sunny controlled that ppcoin Facebook page I posted above. That page could post about it to try and finish off the meter. If you or anyone else you know would like to donate to get this finished, here is the link...

Nice work.  Thanks for posting that.  Need some time to think on your idea.

Thank you.

Sunny, do you control the ppcoin Facebook page or is it somebody else?

https://www.facebook.com/PPcoin

Looks like it could use a good makeover if you ask me.

FYI,

  Research and Markets published a research report on alternative currencies and listed ppcoin among top featured companies. I have no idea what it says about ppcoin though as they list the report for a cool US$2950.

WOW, uhhh, that's not too expensive  Roll Eyes

Maybe we can pay for the report in ppcoin  Tongue
