Peercoin has centralised checkpointing, so can hardly be termed as truly decentralised.

What was the point of this thread though. New logo?

I think the checkpoints are important for the first few years of the coin, to make sure it is secure and thoroughly tested. They won't be necessary when PoS difficulty will be higher, which will most likely happen when cold-wallet minting will be implemented.

I do not disagree. I was pointing out to the truly decentralised thread title.
