Weekly Update #202

  • Bitcoin reached its 2nd halving this week (congratulations!). As expected peercoin's proof-of-work difficulty is pushed up due to influx of miners. Currently peercoin's proof-of-work difficulty is about 700M, roughly doubling the difficulty before bitcoin's halving.
  • There is a discussion regarding merge mining (https://www.peercointalk.org/index.php?topic=4655.0). I am still of the opinion that merge mining does not provide any security benefit to peercoin as peercoin's security is pure proof-of-stake. Additionally supporting such feature involves significant development and maintenance overhead.

Have fun!

  • Peercoin v0.6 is in development.
  • In v0.6 users can choose to disable checkpoint enforcement. In this mode, the node does not automatically reorganize to the blockchain fork where the checkpoint resides. Instead, it shows a warning message that checkpoint is on a different blockchain fork.

Have fun!
