"What is Pepecoin?"
Pepecoin is a layer 1 cryptocurrency. It is its own independent blockchain. Pepecoin was created from Dogecoin. Dogecoin was chosen for a few reasons.
1. It is under active development.
2. It has merged mining support. This will allow the Pepecoin network to take advantage of the 800TH/s securing the Litecoin and Dogecoin networks.
3. We wanted to bring the Dogecoin and Pepecoin communities together, and what better way to do this than by making Pepecoin from Dogecoin. We welcome all shibes to join the community!
"Why was Pepecoin created?"
This year the crypto market has shown a strong desire for a Pepe themed cryptocurrency. Many ERC-20 tokens were made this year in an attempt to give the people Pepecoin. However, ERC-20 tokens can never truly create a free and open Pepe cryptocurrency. ERC-20 tokens use smart contracts, which introduce trust back into the decentralization of crypto.
The creators of Pepe-ERC20 infamously blacklisted an investor's wallet worth over 8 million at the peak of its value. Additionally, they dumped trillions of coins (of which, at the time of creation, they minted for themselves) causing a market crash.
From Ethereum dependence, to high fees, to blacklisting, to minting, to liquidity pools, ERC20 tokens give coin creators too much power over investors. When the Pepe-ERC20 creators dumped their dev tokens causing a crash, that was the last straw.
We began building a Pepecoin for the people, free from smart-contracts and centralized authority.
Mining Rewards
Inflation Rate
Pepecoin has the same emission rate as Dogecoin, which means it's inflationary and encourages usage. Over time, Pepecoin's inflation rate will gradually decrease in terms of its percentage of the total supply. After the 600,000th block is mined, about 5.256 billion coins will be added each year, but as the total supply grows, this fixed annual addition represents a smaller percentage of the total supply each year, thereby reducing its inflationary impact.
Inflation Rate Formula
- Annual Increase: ~5.256 billion Pepecoin
- Total Supply at the start of the year: TotalSupply
The formula to calculate the inflation rate as a percentage each year is:
Supporting Websites
We have also built many supporting websites for Pepecoin
- PepeExplorer.com - A blockchain explorer for Pepecoin
- PepeGuild.com - A mining pool for Pepecoin. We did our best to help get new miners started mining Pepecoin even if you've never mined crypto.
- Pepecoin.org - Official Website for Pepecoin
Supporting Infrastructure
For launch we have 26 servers in total supporting the Pepecoin network and its various sites.
On day 1:
- The mainnet will be supported with a DNS seeder and 16 full nodes!
- The testnet will be supported with a DNS seeder and 3 full nodes.
- The remaining servers will support the various sites listed above.
Pepecoin Core
Send, receive, and manage your Pepecoin with Pepecoin Core, the official wallet for Pepecoin.
Deterministic Signed Binaries
Since there are concerns of malware, trojans, etc. on Bitcoin Talk, we thought we would mention this.
Just as is done during the Dogecoin release process, the binaries for Pepecoin Core are built deterministically using the Gitian Builder.
These binaries are then signed and the signatures are uploaded to the gitian-sigs repo located here. You are welcome and encouraged to
download Pepecoin Core, build it, and verify the signatures yourself. You can find the public keys to verify the signatures here.
Cold Storage
We are working on the Ledger app. In the meantime, you can store your coins in the Pepecoin paper wallet.
r/Pepecoin
r/Pepecoin is now the official subreddit for Pepecoin.
Reddit Tip Bot
Starting today, Pepecoin tipping is supported, not just on r/Pepecoin, but on ALL of Reddit! As of the time of this post, Reddit has ~430 million monthly active users and u/pepetipbot supports tipping for every single one of them!
Read the wiki page to learn how to use it.
Discord Tip Bot (via tip.cc)
On day 1 of Pepecoin's release, Pepecoin tipping is supported on over 34,000 discord servers! To install it on your discord server, head over to tip.cc and follow the installation instructions.
Faucet (via tip.cc)
Tip.cc has support for a crypto faucet. We will periodically fill this faucet up with some coins for you to get started with. Alternatively, if you join the official discord server we will periodically be giving away free Pepecoin to every single person in the server using tip.cc's rain feature. We are doing this to get as many people started as possible to increase adoption. We encourage you to tip Pepecoin to your friends as well!
PRC-20
Pepecoin supports inscriptions/ordinals. This means tokens and NFTs can be minted on the Pepecoin blockchain. It's only fitting that all Rare Pepe imaginable can have a home here on the Pepecoin blockchain. It will be up to the ordinals community to build this.
Exchanges
We are seeking an exchange listing. We would like the ticker symbol PEPE. This is the ticker symbol used in Pepecoin Core, the official Pepecoin tip bot, and will be used colloquially by the community.
We would like ALL exchanges to adopt the following configuration of ticker symbols. We believe this makes the most sense.
PEPEETH - https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/pepe/ this is the name of the subreddit for PEPE-ERC20 and the official Twitter account (both are pepecoineth)
PEPECOIN - https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/pepecoin-/ self explanatory
PEPE - Pepecoin (PEPE)
Balance in "PEPE" in Pepecoin Core
"How can I help?"
We have put a lot of work into Pepecoin. However, we cannot do this alone. We need your help.
Are you interested in creating a new Blockchain explorer website?
We would love for you to!
Are you a mining pool operator?
We would love for you to add Pepecoin to your pool. Remember, after block 100,000, Pepecoin can be merge mined. Its AuxPow ID is 63.
Not any of the above but still want to help?
1. Download Pepecoin and set it to run at startup. If just 16 people do this we will double the size of the network.
2. Go to pepeguild.com and start mining.
3. Share this post, tell your friends about Pepecoin, and invite them to join the community. We are going to build r/Pepecoin to 1 million strong!
4. Tip as much as you can. Each tip increases the number of people who are using Pepecoin!
