Here's some screenshots. It is mostly just the standard look for clients. The first version is focused on adding all the functionality; the second version will be the one with a fancy new theme. As I said before, there is a 300 PPC bounty up for grabs and a referral fee too.

And remember, the Peercoin blockchain has no bloat, less than 300MB. So no waiting hours and hours to get started after you download

Minting button:



Coin control:

Yeah design won't have a major improvement until v0.2. There is a 300 PPC bounty for designing the theme.

I'll try to post some screenshots later.

Great thanks.

The "-walletnotify" command feature is also supported in this client, by the way.

The first version of Peerunity was officially released today, if people want to get a better look at what will be designed.

Here are some of the more important topics with Peercoin from the past week for those who are interested. If I have missed anything, please post it in the comments.


1. All Peercoin and Peershares marketing material is now available in one place. You can find everything including logo files, merchant badges, business cards, banners, and presentations.


2. Work on the major evolution of Peer4Commit is continuing, you can help out or donate here to ensure that all features are implemented. It may even be a potential candidate for the $100,000 bounty for a software platform that can replace the Bitcoin Foundation.


3. 150 PPC in tips has now been given out for setting up Peercoin Raspberry Pi nodes. Tips are still available, check out the thread for instructions and support.


4. Over $600 was donated by Peercoin community members to the Solar Roadways crowdfunded project. Peercoin will now be engraved onto a mounting hole cover in the demo solar panel parking lot.


5. There are new guides from /u/romerun for using Peercoin on a Raspberry Pi. There is one for a full node in 30 minutes, and another for headless minting.


You can find the last weekly review here. Also check out the Peercointalk forum to keep up to date with all Peercoin and Peershares developments.

Hello, there is a large bounty available for fixing the Windows installer for the Peerunity client (a dual client for Peercoin and Peershares). You can find the full details here. Maybe tell them that I referred you 

Here are some of the more important topics with Peercoin from the past week for those who are interested. If I have missed anything, please post it in the comments.

1. A new proposal for cold storage minting has been posted by sigmike. The idea is that it will first be tested for use in Peershares, and could then possibly be used in Peercoin if it was deemed suitable by the community.

2. There was a chat between Sunny King (Peercoin) and Daniel Larimer (Bitshares) this week in the PeercoinTalk chatbox. You can read the full transcript here.

3. You can now get tipped 10 PPC for setting up a Peercoin node on your Raspberry Pi! Find out more here.

4. A major evolution for Peer4Commit has been announced. A wide range of changes are planned involving control of the funds, handling more types of projects, and adding multiple currencies. It could even possibly be the first implementation of Peershares.

5. There have also been discussions on how the compensation method for PoS minting could theoretically be changed to increase the incentive.

Here is last week's review in case you missed it. Also consider visiting the PeercoinTalk forum to stay up to date with all Peercoin and Peershares development.

A major evolution for Peer4Commit was also announced last night. Here's the link: http://www.peercointalk.org/index.php?topic=2768.0

It might even be the first project to use Peershares? 

Here are some of the more important topics with Peercoin from the past week for those who are interested. If I have missed anything, please post it in the comments.

#1. The upgrade window to v0.4 has now passed. If you didn't upgrade in time, you will have to redownload the blockchain. Post in this thread if you need any help.

#2. Work is continuing on the new Peercoin video. Here are some teasers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14.

#3. As the Bitcoin community are debating whether to use "Bits" to represent 0.000001 BTC, similar discussions are happening with Peercoin.

#4. Peerunity is in the testing stage. It is a dual Peercoin/Peershares client (Peershares is due to be added later on). If you want to help out with testing and speed up the release, read this.

#5. There is a new board on PeercoinTalk dedicated to Peerunity. You can already make feature requests for v0.2.

#6. Post from Peershares Developer Jordan Lee: "The Peershares project will be funding the implementation of cold wallet minting and it will become part of the Peershares template. After it has been proven and refined in a Peershares implementation, we would like to use it in Peercoin. Doing so will require protocol changes and therefore broad community consensus."

Here is the last Peercoin Weekly Review in case you missed it. Also consider signing up to PeercoinTalk to stay up to date.

I'm also hoping some other developers start their own projects using Peershares, since it's open source...as long as it doesn't compete directly with Jordan and his team's project. They deserve the success due to all they have contributed to it so far 

Here is a review of some of the more important things that happened with Peercoin this week.

#1. The specifications of the first Peerunity release have been announced. The new dual Peercoin/Peershares client will include coin control, menu based minting, and createmultisig. There will also be improved branding and logo. You can now get tipped for helping with testing.

#2. Peershares are looking to hire a senior C++ Developer as well as a QA Engineer. There is a referral bonus if you know someone who might be interested. The Peershares Qt will also soon be available for public testing.

#3. GoCoin have said that Peercoin is on the top of their list, and that they are now working on adding it to their payment processor. Moolah have also confirmed that Peercoin will be making the switch to the full platform (it is already on their exchange Prelude.io). Positive responses also came this week from Coinbase, with one of their staff members saying that they were big fans of Peercoin, and had been advocating it behind the scenes. Learn more about it here.

#4. A new article from Coindesk has shown that Peercoin is among the most popular coins among merchants. The survey showed that 25.88% of altcoin-friendly merchants would consider accepting Peercoin.

#5. If you still haven't updated your client to v0.4, be sure to do it before May 4th as it is a mandatory upgrade.

To keep up with all the Peercoin news, check out the forum PeercoinTalk. You can also find us on Reddit, Twitter and Facebook.

Here's last week's review in case you missed it.

Moolah just announced that they will be adding Peercoin to their merchant platform. So that is at least one major payment processor. GoCoin up next hopefully.

Yep. From Jordan Lee: "One button minting is already in Peerunity (thanks to sigmike and funding from Peershares) and we will be merging ppcoin pull requests in the coming days."

It's great to see Peercoin development speeding up!

Hi all, a lot of big news happened this week with Peercoin, so I just wanted to post this to keep everyone who is interested up to date (especially since there is a mandatory client upgrade coming up soon).

#1. Peercoin version 0.4 was released this week. The new version includes UI usability features, protocol adjustment for possible future p2pool support, and bug fixes. Make sure you upgrade before the 5th of May.

#2. The new wallet allows easy unlocking for minting. To do this, go to the debug console and enter: walletpassphrase abc 99999 true, where "abc" is your password, and "99999" is whatever amount of time you want to mint for (in seconds). Make sure to clear your password afterwards (Ctrl-L). Minting helps secure the network so give it a try.

#3. Another exciting announcement came from Peershares architect Jordan Lee, who is launching a new wallet and client that will support both Peercoin and Peershares. It is called Peerunity. This will be a community project that everyone can get involved in to add much requested features such as a minting button, coin control, nicer themes and language translations. To quote Jordan: "The days of slow or nonexistent Peercoin development are over."

#4. Sunny King also made a surprise appearance in the chat on PeercoinTalk, mostly talking about how security in Peercoin is Proof-of-Stake only. This sparked discussion on whether Proof-of-Work could also be used for security, instead of just distribution, but Sunny appears to be against this idea.

#5. The web developer for peercoin.net, Super3, is developing a new project for decentralized storage, that could compete with the likes of Dropbox. It's called Storj, you can read about it here or see the website.

Finally, it would be great to continue to spread Peercoin on social media, so please subscribe to /r/peercoin if you haven't already, and follow Peercoin on Twitter and Facebook. Also check out the forum: PeercoinTalk.

Here's last week's review on reddit in case you missed it.

If you don't know how to update to the newest version, here are the instructions from Sunny King:
