"... Pandacoin that we’re talking about today (trading symbol PND) is led by a Dev Team that plans to unveil a major overhaul of their coin on August 30th. 2014.
Like many of its contemporaries, PND had a short-lived moment in the sun when it was first released in February of this year followed by a long slide into relative obscurity.
The coin has been a fully Proof-of-Stake coin since May 21, 2014.
Pandacoin boasts of a 12 member Dev Team. These team members will be responsible for technical advancement as well as for marketing.

Their release will have to be a real blockbuster to keep up with some of the ‘big boys‘ in the altcoin arms race.
A brief review of Pandacoin’s github shows they have were busy on core development for the first few months of their existence. 118 contributors pushed over 3,000 commits. That showed a strong commitment to the developmental aspects of the project. This is a requirement in modern times for any altcoin project that plans on winning fans and gaining adoption. The commits all stopped 3 months ago. Despite that lull, their community has remained committed to the team.
A review of their official Twitter account shows many Tweets like this one:
People who are buying now have faith that the team will deliver. What they will deliver is anybody’s guess at this point.
“The inherent symbolism, underlying fundamentals and philosophies of Pandacoin (PND) allows it to serve as a gateway digital currency across multiple market segments and cultures (in particular South East Asia) that are unfamiliar with the fast paced and complex world of decentralized digital currency,” said the Pandacoin team in their announcement...
...All of this could change with the new release. Some speculators obviously believe this will happen. We’ll be watching for developments. Thanks for stopping by and reading. If you have any comments leave them below."
