ppcoin is open-source. I don't know why people get this idea that it is not.
It's open source and same license as bitcoin (MIT). Everyone is free to fork and experiment and that's exactly what novacoin did.
Bravo!
See guys. It's even better than we thought.
Lol ok. Well you can't stop someone who wants to believe anything they are told. Ppc is open but the development isn't. It is secretive.
Everything is on github:
https://github.com/ppcoin/ppcoin and open source.
Lol lets say it one more time. Plc can be open source but if development is not publicly discussed it puts a hamper on the project. Being close minded about development wing made public is a fatal flaw. Why would sunny not want public input into his PPC project? I'm sure he isn't a godlike coder that can see every flaw or make the perfect design. If he was he would have already up published a white paper being thorough on the design choices.
All the code is out there in the open, anyone is free to look through it. No-one says he is a godlike coder, that is why there is a tournament being arranged to investigate any weaknesses in the system. You do realise weaknesses were found in Bitcoin too in it's early days?
Remember PPCoin isn't just a cheap knock off bitcoin clone like most other alt currencies, this is innovative work and it's still in it's infancy. Over the coming months the project is just going to continue growing.
Just like all the interest is growing - see the pictures I link to in my original post.
I'm not claiming PPCoin is the next bitcoin but I don't think it should be written off and it has a lot of potential... but I know I can't win you over, you are team LTC til you die.
