Developer MatthewLM has posted the first in a series of progress updates on the development of ROAST and DLCs:

https://talk.peercoin.net/t/roast-and-dlc-development-updates/16674

ROAST has been added to the Peercoin Flutter wallet as an experimental feature.

The ROAST technology being worked on at Peercoin not only makes it possible to form massive multisignature groups and distributed oracles, it also enables use on foreign blockchains like Ethereum.

This article describes how a cross-chain bridge between Peercoin and Ethereum can be created using ROAST:

The Peercoin blockchain has (soft) forked at block #801331. SIGHASH_ANYPREVOUT (APO) is now activated. Please update to v0.15 if you did not already.

APO is a soft-fork that allows a transaction to be signed without reference to any specific previous output, such that any output with a matching signature can be dynamically added later.

Noosphere client, the Peercoin Foundation's implementation of ROAST (Robust Asynchronous Schnorr Threshold) signatures, is now open sourced under a permissive BSD-3 license. Flutter developers can now easily include this library in their apps.

Frosty is now public and open sourced under a very permissive BSD-3 licence.

This package makes FROST Taproot threshold signatures available to Dart/Flutter apps and is used for the Noosphere ROAST implementation that makes it easy to coordinate and create these signatures (and will soon be integrated into the Peercoin Flutter wallet). We welcome all bug reports and pull requests.

63.2% of the last 1,000 blocks signal that they are ready for Peercoin's v0.15 "APO" fork (11.8% left to go). This protocol update is about making DLCs nicer to use, ANYPREVOUT (APO) ensures that all outcomes of a DLC are in place before it is funded so all the parties of the DLC don't need to trust one another.

If you are waiting for a stable release before you upgrade, that is not necessary. v0.15 uses the same codebase as v0.14, which has been stable for a while now, so there is no need to wait.

Peercoin v0.15 has been released! Upgrade today! Announcement & details here...

Another first in crypto! Peercoin developers produce the first ever Taproot threshold signature transaction using ROAST.

One test uses 150 of 200 signers to produce a single on-chain signature for spending funds. Learn about these massive multisig setups here and what it means for Peercoin’s future.

Peercoin has successfully forked to v0.14, adopting the ASERT PoW algorithm from Bitcoin Cash.

This responsive difficulty algorithm ensures Peercoin can swiftly adapt to dramatic hash power fluctuations, stabilizing the production of PoW blocks and reducing inflation.

About 5% remains before the Peercoin network hard forks to v0.14. If you are still minting on a v0.13 wallet, please take the time to upgrade. The latest version can be found here: https://github.com/peercoin/peercoin/releases

We are pleased to announce the release of Peercoin v0.14. This is a mandatory upgrade. We call for all stakeholders to adopt the new protocol changes. Please upgrade your wallet by June 3rd, 2024.

A hard fork will occur once both of the following conditions are met:

- 75% of the last 1,000 blocks are from a v0.14 wallet.
- June 3rd, 2024, 12:00 UTC has passed (earliest date network can fork).

You can follow the progress of the hard fork here:

Peercoin v0.13 has now been released. This is an optional upgrade. Check the release thread below for the changelog, as well as a preview of what is being discussed for inclusion in v0.14…

As part of its mission to support the ecosystem, the Peercoin Foundation has covered the costs of integrating PPC on Slex.io, an exchange based in Lithuania (EU), which is managed by the same group that manages Slavi wallet (which also supports PPC). The pair we've asked for is PPC/USDC.

This listing is intended to help traders in the USA, who were blocked from Bittrex after the company stopped supporting trading by US customers. Slex.io currently supports depositing up to $15k using an unverified account without going through KYC.

Once your account reaches the deposit limit, basic verification is required to deposit more (but not to trade). A new account can be registered easily using only an email address (phone number not required).

Credit card deposits are available, and SEPA deposits will be available soon. The new market can be found here: https://slex.io/trade/ppcusdc

Peercoin Flutter (Peercoin’s mobile and web wallet) 1.2.0 has been released. This version uses a brand new in-house developed "coinlib" library for all its background coin logic. Adoption of coinlib into Peercoin Flutter allows for the implementation of many new advanced features.
