What I really want to see is the ability to activate proof-of-stake minting by hitting a button, rather than all the extra stuff you have to do right now. That's not very user friendly for new people.

Hey, I'm also wondering if it's possible to add a PPC/USD trading pair. I really don't understand why Novacoin and Namecoin have a USD trading pair but not PPC, considering it has a much larger market cap than either of them. Please add this soon, since Peercoin is already over $1 now and needs this, thanks!

Thanks for making that change.

Something you should add under broken records is that Peercoin surpassed $1 and a $20 million dollar market cap for the first time on Monday.

Wait, why is it in Comic sans...
They took a screenshot of our website before it was finished. We sent them images of our new logos, but for some reason they didn't use them.

The community development and organization at PeercoinTalk.org has only just started too. I wonder where we'll be at in a year.
|

Yes, I'd rather invest in a coin where the developer or development team remains anonymous so there is no chance somebody will go after them. Just imagine Litecoin shooting up in value to threaten Bitcoins's reign. If that happens the developers will have enemies in governments as well as Bitcoin supporters. Sunny King and Satoshi have nothing to worry about right now because of their anonymity.

I hope Xanis is researching into Peercoin would hate to see him miss out on a sound investment opportunity Only watched The Next Generation, but this is huge for Peercoin. Over 5,000 people will be going to this, most of them that are open to new technology like this.

I agree and disagree. It's not black and white really. In a PoS system it is not really "the rich get richer and the poor get poorer" or "the rich get richer and the poor get richer".
When new coins are generated by PoS the money supply is increased so the value of each coin (in theory land) goes down proportionally. If everyone lets their coins earn PoS at the same rate the rich and poor stay the same amount of rich or poor. If you don't let your coins generate PoS then you get poorer because you will very slowly have less percentage of the coin. If you are too poor to allow your coins to generate PoS because you need to spend them, while a rich person has enough to hoard away, well then yes the rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer, so in some cases the criticism is true, but not always. I'm not an expert by any means, but I think I agree with you. I believe what you're saying is that both the rich and the poor that are holding their ppc and generating stake with it will become richer. At the same time, both the rich and the poor that are transacting with their ppc and NOT generating stake are becoming poorer. They're becoming poorer because they're not using their ppc to generate stake and are losing value through the 1% inflation. So to sum it up, whether you're rich or poor, if you generate stake you will become richer. At the same time, whether you're rich or poor, if you don't generate stake you will very slowly lose value through 1% inflation and become poorer. And if this is correct, I don't see any problem with it. As Sunny said in the last sentence of his response... "Meanwhile, those who transact in the network with high velocity pay the security cost via low inflation." - Sunny King ...The people who are not generating stake and transacting with their money pay this fee to those who are generating stake because they're providing the service of securing the network. It's only fair that those who are guaranteeing security get paid by those taking advantage of their service.

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

Great, we'll be able to add to this as time goes on. It will be a great resource to send people to that have bought into any misinformation.

Great news, although Peercoin isn't trying to be the bronze to Bitcoin's gold. We want Peercoin to take Bitcoin's place as the gold of crypto, but that will require patience.

Some people made it known to me that they wanted to volunteer to be on the Peercoin/Primecoin team, but they didn't finish filling out the survey to sign up because they didn't have any specific area of expertise. There was no job listed that they felt comfortable volunteering for. Because of this, we've set up a "General" category. If you don't have any specific area of expertise, but still want to volunteer and help out wherever you feel you can, try filling out the survey again and this time select the "General" category. Things are starting to move fast and we could sure use your help. The link to the survey is below. http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/J9RNLPHWe even have a position for something called the swarm. We'll post action items that need you to email an exchange or respond to forum threads or news articles to defend Peercoin/Primecoin. All you need for this is an understanding of how the coin works so that you can promote or defend it.

Unfortunately, my internet is down at home and I can't do a simple copy and paste from my phone. Somebody else is going to have to post it on here, sorry.
