Bitcoin Forum

Introduction

Welcome to the official Peercoin newsletter! There are so many fantastic projects happening in the Peercoin community, we wanted to take a minute to highlight a few of the major items that our dedicated volunteers are bringing to life.


International Bitcoin Conference - Amsterdam - November 8th

** Event was cancelled **


Trekcon

It's confirmed, Peercoin will be the official crypto currency for Springfield Trekcon! We plan to release a teaser video on Friday with the event organizer and then a press release and accompanying video later the following week.  Not only will participants be able to purchase tickets to the event with Peercoin, we will also have Peercoin literature and giveaways for everyone that walks through the door. There's quite a few Star Trek celebrities already confirmed, can't wait to introduce Peercoin to a convention full of trekkies.

Details will follow in the interview with event organizer Lawrence Blackenship.

What do you think of the changes? Sign up for free and contribute to our rapidly growing community at the forum link on the main page! Thank you to Super3 for continuing to own this project.


PeercoinMyths.com

Let's face it, there's so much misinformation that's spread between competing coin investors. The Peercoin community decided to launch a site to address some of those myths:

New Series "The Future of Peercoin - Sunny King"

Last week, the community put together a series of questions for Sunny King concerning Peercoin. We're launching a thread starting tomorrow to discuss some of his answers with the crypto community. It's important to not only hear from those that support Peercoin but also listen to our critics. Every so often, we'll release another series of question/answers from Sunny to discuss.


Facebook

Congrats to Sentinelrv for the work he's put into our social media initiatives. When you have a moment, come visit and like our new Peercoin Facebook page at:

Summary

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this newsletter.  Each of us are putting our heart into Peercoin and look forward to seeing a few new faces around the forum. If you would like to participate in the fun, please join us at:

Hey!

Nice overview. I'm glad that things are starting to go forward with Peercoin now that it becomes more and more clear that securing the network with energy consuming wasting demanding PoW might be not the last step in crypto coin evolution!

 Hello,

How big a thing is the Trekcon news? Is it just some minor convention, or a relatively big one? And when is it?

Thanks.

They are renting out the convention center in May 14 which is fairly large. It's big news for us, we're sitting down with one of the organizers tomorrow evening to do a video interview. We're not talking about just a few hundred.

25% of the 7000+ members on http://www.peercointalk.org have been emailed so far.

If you have not received your email by tomorrow then please PM me on the forum.

Also, the inaugural batch of 50 physical Peercoins made of 1 Troy ounce of fine silver will be available for purchase in mid to late November. Very excited to bring this line to fruition.

@Finite: We'll make sure to include this information in our next newsletter.

Very interesting things going on right now. I feel as if the ppc train is starting to pick up some momentum.

Strippeers

The Peercoin community believes there's a place for women who love to take their clothes off. Please take

wow, you people are awesome.

Recent Dev developments with PPcoin and Litecoin show the value of alt coins for the cryptocoin community as a whole. People joining forces are unstoppable.

I couldn't agree more. Regardless of the coin, having the major alts represented at the upcoming Bitcoin Conferences is great for the entire community. I know there's quite a few Peercoin forum members that are looking forward to viewing the Litecoin and Feathercoin presentations.  We might all compete internally, however, any of us that break out to the general public helps everyone.

This is great news!  :o Peercoin (PPC) is awesome!

This is good read. Would it be possible to have thread for only the newsletter updates either here or in peercointalk? It would be helpful to use forums watchlist function to keep up with the latest newsletters similar to Sunny King's weekly updates.

I guess website (maybe in peercoin wiki) with links to each newsletter thread suits as well, if you rather keep newsletters in separate threads to encourage discussion.

Nice summary, I also would appreciate a thread a separate thread for the Newsletter, so I can put it on my watchlist.

Keep up the great work!

bump for all those that missed this

Thanks for the newsletter. We are growing quite quickly.

Bump. Good stuff. I will tweet a link to it tomorrow.

Looking forward to the Newsletter 2 :)

A Chinese exchange offers PPC/CNY trade pair recently.

May be worth clarifying that it wasn't Peercoin's fault why the event was cancelled (unless it was).

Because I came here and read: 1) Intro, - we're doing awesome things 2) cancelled event...

I laughed pretty hard, but I'm not sure others would keep reading like I did.

Good luck and the rest of the newsletter sounds awesome.  I need to come back when I have more time to look into all of these links (and further links within these links).

As for peercointalk.org, I don't believe there are signatures when I signed up a few days/ maybe a week ago, so that will keep my activity over here, where I can try to monetize my efforts. 

However, keep up the awesome.  I wish you the best!  and I may even join your efforts at some point.

Will Peercoin be doing anything similar to bitcoinfriday2013.com?  I'm promoting this pretty heavily (if anyone is interested in having a local Bitcoin Friday party, reach out to me.  I may be able to get you a care package with some free giveaways.

@kjlimo

It wasn't peercoins fault. It was a bitcoin conference where we had planed to attend. But good point to point that one out

Signatur is possible at peercointalk.org :)

Unfortunately we had no control over the cancellation, we were simply invited to the event.  Thank you everyone for the kind words about the progress the Peercoin community continues to make. We have a lot of dedicated people that volunteer time to help others on the forum.
