TRC = broken

It's up 

Is PPCoin coming up today as well? 

Bitcoin has checkpoints, albeit much less. I think checkpoints are the only way to launch an alt currency Like PPcoin which has a radical new approach, it's for security and Sunny has said they will be phased out gradually (I read somewhere by summer but dont quote me on that).

How many coins do you make per hour when the difficulty is decent?   

It's actually kind of lucky TRC isn't being traded now as I'm sure this would have caused some panic sells: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=168251.0

Is that an educated guess or the actual answer?

If the number of people mining drops drastically it causes this? Or...

So can you tell us what is going on. Is this a 51% attack?

Thanks for everything. I bought a lottt of coins from you 

Btw please allow withdrawals for as long as possible, I had some btc laying around on there with no emergency address and I would have been sad if I didn't check this forum until monday and I had lost 'em!

btc-e.com makes hundreds of thousands dollars per month profit and that figure is growing fast. Yes they could steal your coins but that would be like killing the golden goose.

However the smaller an exchange is, the less profit they are making and the more risk there is involved.

Ultimately though you can't trust these exchanges like a bank. And the absolute worst thing you can do is to leave a lot of money laying around on an exchange because if that exchange gets hacked into you will cry. And believe me a lot of exchanges get hacked  

Are these really going for 14 cents a coin right now?

Hmm... so miners are still hopping on and off depending on the difficulty...

You produce no arguments or discussion in your post. You shouldn't fear it, it's very different to Litecoin and Bitcoin (both of which I own).

And there is a lot of interest in PPCoin, look at this google trends graphs showing the number of people searching PPCoin vs the number of people searching Terracoin:



(PPCoin has double the amount of searches and is trending upwards heavily).

Is it possible this could be the result of an attack?

The other day there was a topic about someone who had >51% of the TRC network hashrate

I doubt Sunny the developer will address Smoothie, he probably put him on ignore 6 months ago due to his endlessPPCoin trolling (I am semi joking semi serious).

Lmao at people listening to Smoothie. He is a self proclaimed troll


1. All the vulnerabilities have been fixed, just like Bitcoins early problems were fixed. Go ahead and exploit one of these vulnerabilities you are talking about? It is true that the other alt coins have the advantage of being so similar to Bitcoin they haven't got to worry much about exploits. Sunny is an extremely active developer unlike a lot of the other coins and he even found an exploit in Terracoin this week. Just like Bitcoin, the longer PPCoin is 'stress tested' out in the wild with real users, the more secure it is. PPCoin is going from strength to strength, it's only getting better. And it's innovative.

2. The development is anything but shady. It's open source, with weekly updates (there is a weekly update topic). Because PPCoin is not a cheap clone of Bitcoin and requires a lot of work it's hardly surprising he doesn't have time to do everything you say yet he is still very active in this community unlike certain other devs I won't name. Anyone here don't believe me? Go to his profile and click on recent posts - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=63182, he is answering tons of questions daily

3. You can actually find the algorithm quite easily in the source code, I found it and I only have basic programming knowledge. It's all there for you or anyone else to read.

I know there are at least two individuals with > 100k Terracoins. That's a lot of coins since there are only 2 million Terracoins out there and 100k is 5%.

The top one is 800k not 8 million.

I would also be interested in this, particularly the richest PPCoin addresses.

These are the richest Litecoin addresses according to a user from the Litecoin forums:

I expect the top one is an exchange wallet?

I see it between $10 and $20. $10 minimum. But trust me it's going to be a hell of a volatile ride.
