Weekly Update #130

Excoin recently suffered wallet loss due to likely a hacking attack. It's unfortunately as this relatively new exchange has been supporting both peercoin and nubits. It's an unfortunate reality of the current exchange business, in light of recent bitstamp loss as well. It is our prudence to refrain from direct involvement in any exchange operations, as any centralized exchange is subject to high risk of attack and/or mismanagement. But all is not lost, I think the exchange infrastructure in the cryptocurrency world has good potential to improve in the future.
Peerbox v0.25RC1 is released by Peerchemist. (http://www.peercointalk.org/index.php?topic=3927.0)

Weekly Update #126

btc-e announced delisting of XPM trading, so please be aware if you trade on btc-e. Short term primecoin's liquidity would likely drop. Although from a long term point of view, the exchange market should become more competitive. This event by no means affect our stance of long term support and development on primecoin.

Weekly Update #125

emeth is working on a messaging application on top of peercoin network (http://www.peercointalk.org/index.php?topic=3773). It's a very interesting project in my opinion, as it tries to store the payload somewhere other than the blockchain, reducing blockchain bloat in the process.

Weekly Update #123

Mike is now code complete with the backend of the cold-minting feature. The feature allows for minting with special mint-only key, while the corresponding spending key can be stored in a cold wallet. This safeguards the coins of a minting wallet from hackers who gain unauthorized access to user's system.
The feature will be under review and testing in the following weeks.

Happy New Year!

Nubits project issued its first dividend distribution in Peercoin this week. This is an important milestone not only in the Peercoin community, but also of cryptocurrency in general.
