Topic: [ANN] [PPC] PPCoin Released! - First Long-Term Energy-Efficient Crypto-Currency - page 72. (Read 684839 times)

I had the same problem. It is downloading the block chain when you see this message. After your block chain is in sync with the network again, it should work.

Thanks for the help but still no luck Any idea why it says "WARNING: Checkpoint is too old. Wait for block chain to download, or notify developers of the issue" ?

Just start ppcoin-qt with this command line argument:
-addnode=69.164.204.19
That will add cryptocoinexplorer.com's ppcoin node, which should help your client to find more of them.

If that address shouldn't work for some reason, you can also add my node with
-addnode=87.144.121.201
but that IP address will only be valid for another ~19 hours.

having issues getting qt to connect..what is a good copy of a ppcoin.conf file? currently this is what i have found online to use:

listen=1
rpcuser=emunebtk
rpcpassword=xxxxx
rpcport=9902
daemon=1
server=1

For those who are concerned about my trustworthiness, Bitcointalk moderator hazek made a post talking about some of our past history together, if that makes anyone feel better about donating...

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2423755

Somebody at the BitcoinTalk thread I made questioned whether I am legit because of my registration date. I responded that I have a long history with RonPaulForums.com and that the moderator here hazek knows me over there and can vouch for me. I sent hazek a PM about it, but have to wait until he comes online. Hopefully he can help me out.

In other news, we're currently at $85 now. There is one quick and easy thing that all of you can do to help out. My post on Reddit was finally released from the spam filter. Could you guys please upvote it? Only takes a couple seconds. Here is the link...

http://www.reddit.com/r/ppcoin/comments/1fu374/peercoin_logo_design_contest_fundraising/

I found out the post I made on the ppc subreddit got caught in the spam filter for some reason. I noticed it would show up in the list of topics when I was signed in, but when I logged out it vanished, so I was really the only one able to see it. I contacted the mods on the page, so hopefully they can fix it. Are any of the mods there on here?


Done

Ok, I'm finally done creating promotion threads here, ppcointalk and on reddit. Please upvote on Reddit and help out if you can. Here are links to all of them...

- ppcointalk.org Promotion Thread: http://www.ppcointalk.org/index.php?topic=241.0
- Bitcointalk.org Promotion Thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/peercoin-logo-design-contest-fundraising-completed-227647
- Reddit Promotion Thread:

Do you by chance know who this member is? That sounds like a great solution to make people happy. Peercoin.org would display as the main web address, but ppcoin.org would also still work as a forward.

Sunny, if you happen to read this, would you be ok with doing this?

Edit: Whoops, I misread what you wrote. You said .com and not .org.

I'd like to not care about the name also, but unfortunately many people make snap judgements based on a superficial understanding of things. If we we don't cater to these people, we have the potential of losing them. Fortunately, peercoin has a couple different names and I can pick which one I like best.

Anyway, let me know if anything needs changing. If there are no suggestions by tonight, I'll be moving forward and putting it on Reddit and maybe making a new thread.

I wanted to say something about those people that only look at names and judge based on how silly some combination of letters sound, instead of the real content... but I backspaced it because I don't want this to start some kind of flameware ..trying to stay positive  anyway, it is just a name, we should be glad that ppcoin has much more to offer than a cool name

I agree and try to avoid pronouncing it like peepee coin. Unfortunately, I checked and it looks like somebody already took the web address for peercoin.com. How did that happen?

Edit: Peercoin.org is taken too. I'd much prefer those names to help get people to stop saying it the other way.

Good work, I will support any initiative that remove the "PP" from the pronounceable form "PPCOIN"

Nobody say BTCoin, So why the F*** are we still carrying that while 99% of people disagree/hate with that pronunciation.
I also don't see how it's technically correct in any ways.

If it's PEER TO PEER COIN (PPC), Why is PPcoin still in the client name ?

Guys, I'm not sure how many of you have been following the logo design thread over at ppcointalk.org...

http://www.ppcointalk.org/index.php?topic=92.0

...but for those who haven't, we've been talking about using 99designs to finish off the ppcoin logo in the form of a logo design contest. For those who don't know about 99designs, you basically offer a cash reward and a whole bunch of designers will make you what you want. We're going to be shooting for the gold package, which will give us the maximum amount of submissions from the best designers. We can then utilize their poll feature to judge which design is the most popular.

Once this logo is out of the way, we can overhaul the website and finally market peercoin. In order to do this though, we'll need to raise $800, which is the cost of the gold package. I spent all last night researching this. I searched around for a donation site and GoFundMe.com was my favorite, so I created an account and setup a donation page. Please don't share it yet...

Before we advertise this around, you guys need to tell me if you think anything needs to be changed or added, the text description, the title, the money goal. Should I explain what ppcoin is or is it a given? I set the goal for $800, which is what the gold package will cost, but we could set it a little higher if we wanted to. There are ways of promoting your contest which cost extra money, for example $99 extra and they'll send a tweet out about your contest to their 74,000 followers. Here are all the promotion extras...

http://99designs.com/help/how-can-i-get-more-attention-for-my-contest

Let me know if you need to know how much each one costs. They don't give you pricing on this stuff until you're about to checkout.

So basically I need to know if this page is good or if something needs to be changed or added or whether we should increase the goal to add in some of the listed promotion tools. Once the page is finalized, we can then spread it around on forums, Reddit, the BTC-E chat box, etc... until it's filled. Then we can start the design contest. For more information, read the last couple pages of our discussion about it on the logo design thread at ppcointalk.org.

In fact, it's much simplier. The actual reasons are

1) attempt to make total stakes weight as high as possible;
2) attempt to protect network from accidental stake weight destruction.

The dynamic diff-based ROI is the only way to energy efficient cryptocurrency without centralized checkpointing. That's why ROI will be calculated as a function of PoS difficulty.

It's required because attacker needs only ~20-30% of total stakes weight (only weight, not a coins) to perform successful double-spend. Using current PoS approach, of course.

A couple of big walls clashed into each other, and the resulting chaos caused >50% swings.
If you had the right orders set up, you could have made large amounts of money from that.
Now everything is mostly back to normal, walls have been reinstated.

does somebody know what happened on btc-e with PPC the last hours? there was really huge volume!! over 400 BTC were traded in PPC but unfortunately the price didnt rise 

I do understand that inflation model is sacrosanct to a cryptocurrency. So no that would not happen. Instead I have this proposal (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ppc-proposal-ppcoin-online-stake-safety-194054) for improving proof-of-stake participation.

NVC is a fork of ppcoin where Balthazar is doing experimental things pretty freely.

Hey all!

Reddit's ALTcointip bot is having an alt-coin giveaway to raise alt-coin awareness among newcomers (PPCoin included). Come register and you'll get some coins to tip others and/or withdraw!

Thanks

Regarding this at the thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=143221.500 ... am I reading that right and that the 'interest rate' will jump to over 50% as of June 20 for NVC?
