The long awaited pepenet blockchain explorer is finally here. Enjoy : )
http://explorer.pepenet.info:8081/

Some members made a new public mining pool.
Check out the cobrapool here: http://pepenet.cobrapool.com/

You can make your own pool by following the tutorial here:

A new mining pool for pepenet.
https://ekapool.com/ppnet/
You are welcome to join or run your own pool.

Thank you all for the amazing participation. The network hash rate is already at 3.7 MH/sec.

Keep up the good work!

The mining is still in early stages that's why solo mining is still ok. We are at about 18kH/s

You can join the pepenet discord server now.

No DNS server for checkpoints is setup yet. For now just ignore the message it's not critical and has no effect.

New guides:

Sidenote:
I will make a discord in the next few days

Published detailed guides for windows setup. Check them out if you want. I could use some feedback just to know if everything works ok if you follow the guide.

If there are any suggestions or problems, feel free to let me know.

Windows sync fixed (firewall problems)
I made a quick guide on reddit. But I will make a more detailed guide for both windows and ubuntu in the next few days.
I know good guides are missing but I will work on it. All help and suggestions are appreciated!

As a side note: It's good to follow the reddit and wordpress pages if you want all info at all times. I know that this sounds cheesy and like self-promotion but some things are just posted on one platform. I try to keep up with everything but I might forget to publish that I made an update somewhere. Do it only if it helps you, don't do it for me.

Ok, thanks for the feedback. I will check what's going on maybe it's a problem with libunbound but I doubt it. But I hope that we just don't know how to setup our firewall. Maybe someone has experience with running monerod on windows on a home network.

edit: fixed

100% 

Added windows binaries for the latest release. I was unable to sync from windows maybe I just don't know how to configure the firewall. The sync is ok on ubuntu on the same network.

edit: fixed

Working on it boss
Hopefully within 48 hours.

I added the x86_64 linux binaries here: https://github.com/pepenetsocial/pepenet/releases/tag/v0.2.0.0-beta.

I will build for ARM tomorrow and try to make a windows build in a one week timeframe

Pepenet is a project forked from monero with features similar to twitter (without mods  ).

Basic blockchain info
*****************************
Forked: Yes
Reference project: Monero
Total supply: ~18.2M
Block time: 2 min
Block reward: dynamic
Mining algorithm: Cryptonote v0

Explorers:

*****************************
For now there are only two social features: pepping and posting.but more will be added

Users can make a pep or post by adding json arguments to the transfer command in the pepenet-wallet-cli.
This will include the social feature in the transaction data.
To avoid blockchain bloat all social features are compressed and serialized with protobuf.

As of right now the only way to use pepenet is via pepenet-wallet-cli but the long term plan is to add a http server to pepenetd that will host a web based UI (html web pages for: daemon management and info and a web interface for the rpc wallet).

Users will also have the ability to host their own simple websites with pepenetd via this http server.
If enough people like this idea then a page social feature will be added. It will enable users to "publish" their website on pepenet and allow others to find it.
