Also make sure you save your tx info from sending the old paccoins (and follow the redemption instructions carefully). If you have proof of the original tx, then if something does go wrong support can help work it out for you.

rpcuser and rpcpassword can be anything you like, pick something long and random for password.
It's how other processes on the node can communicate with the daemon. Sentinel will read them from the conf and use these to communicate with the daemon.

$PAC has Masternodes rather than staking. If you have 500k $PAC you can setup a Masternode and get block rewards.

Woo $PAC!

New devs, new coin, same great community.

... and Masternodes!

Are folks interested in an easy to use Docker based Bitcoin development environment? (or is there already one that I simply couldn't find)

Background: I just got back into coin development, and while the instructions are much better than they used to be, I found the requirements around specific versions of Ubuntu a bit restrictive and something that Docker helps a ton with. I put together a Docker image for myself, with some fancy additions like the cloud9 SDK for a web-based IDE.

If folks around here are interested in this, and there isn't already a canonical development image; I can polish up what I have, document, and publish it on Docker hub to share. I think this would be useful mainly for folks interested in learning more about Bitcoin or altcoin code through hands on experience.
