Peercoin the Next Generation Digital Currency According to Trek Convention

November 06, 2013 Springfield, MO - Trek Con organizers BlankFish, LLC announce that Peercoin (PPC) will be the official crypto currency of Trek Con Springfield May 9 - 11, 2014. According to the projected number of participants, Trek Con Springfield will be the largest convention to ever accept a digital currency for tickets, merchandise and vendor demonstrations. By accepting Peercoin, the third largest crypto currency, other digital coins such as Bitcoin also benefit from the exposure to Sci-Fi communities.

"The Peercoin community is honored to be asked to be the official crypto currency of Trek Con.  To show our support, we're giving away one Peercoin to the first 2000 people that attend the convention," said John Manglaviti, a Peercoin organizer. "As a next generation energy efficient crypto currency, we're excited about getting Peercoin into the hands of thousands of Sci-Fi fans."

"Peercoin actually brings us a little closer to what Gene Roddenberry originally envisioned where there was no centrally controlled currency and it's open source," noted Lawrence Blankenship, co-founder of BlankFish, LLC.

Trek Con Springfield has an impressive list of celebrities which have confirmed attendance including Robert O'Reilly, Cirroc Lofton, Tim Russ, Chase Masterson and Manu Intiraymi to name just a few. The Peercoin team will be working directly with CoinPayments.net to integrate the payment system in the next few weeks.
