Peercoin paintings are now available but just 2 items were made so far, testing if there is any interest.
Nice! Why not post in http://www.peercointalk.org ? |

Each DOGE proof comes with an unattached hologram so the customer can add their own private key and fund the piece should they so desire. Pricing is $30 for singles or $250 for 10. The neat thing about these "bullion coins" having a face value (albeit in a Crypto currency each) is that you could move even larger quantities across a border -- PROVIDED the country for that border is one that treats Crypto coins like "foreign currency". I know that United Kingdom does (for most purposes, including VAT). So in theory, that means you could move £12,000 (or €9,999 for France and similar places) through customs legally without filing a declaration. This has been done with silver Philharmonics, Maple Leafs, American Eagles etc across the Austrian border into Germany all the time (but note that those have face value in "legal tender", in that case euros). Also note, that this only works when Bitcoin, Peercoin etc are treated equivalent to "foreign currency" (as in the UK example, above). Thought it would be fun to note this (even though I am aware that £12K worth of these aren't even in existence), or it might be helpful for someone out there for some reason as Crypto coiners are known to be well-informed. |

Yeah that I understand, however, that does not answer my question. How is Peercoin energy-efficient if it will infinitely continue to be produced by PoW with the hashrate predictibly growing at the same rate as BTC's?
This is how  It's energy efficient if energy consumption per unit of economy is low. POS coins minted with little energy will dominate PPC economy. -->> The reason for all this to actually be **energy-efficient** is that transactions have to be cleared ANYWAY for (any) coin networks to be operational. When "minting" peercoins, you are also "giving" your CPU power to the network in order to clear other peoples' Peercoin transactions out there. This makes it more energy-efficient than both Bitcoin AND also plastic card transactions in fiat currencies (where EXTRA power is needed to process credit card transactions at the Point of Sale or over the phone or, back in the day, manually when reading in paper payslips etc; on top of the whopping energy need for fraud prevention amounting to **41% of credit card operators' profits**, for policing the dollar or pound etc, issuing and destroying currency bills and coins as well as the coffee makers of Fed bureaucrats, to name just a few)... |

I cannot seem to find an answer to this question.
Once you receive PPC into your wallet, you leave it open 24/7 and do not move those coins. How soon do you start getting dividends or known as minting?
3 days / 30 days? / 1 Year?

The coins have accumulated enough coin-age to start minting after 30 days. Before that, there's no reason to leave the wallet open. The longer the coins have been kept in wallet, the more chances you have of finding a block. The maximum coin age is one year; if you leave the wallet open (and unlocked for minting) in the few days before it has been a year, you are very likely of finding a block. |

Coins are able to be used for minting after only 30 days, but the actual time it takes to be rewarded for a proof-of-stake block varies based on the total coin-age and the number of other people currently minting. Regardless of how long it takes, however, you will eventually receive a reward equivalent to ~1% per annum. There are several detailed discussions of how Peercoin minting works over at the Peercoin forum including this Minting Guide: http://www.peercointalk.org/index.php?topic=2982.msg29805#msg29805Also, an online calculator has been developed to help estimate the probability of minting a block with a certain set of coins over a certain time period: http://peercoincalculator.infoGood luck finding your first POS block! |

Why do you say it's a dead coin? It's very stable in value...hasn't been pumped and dumped...well maybe a little pumped!  |

Cryptos have crashed and went back up many times in the past. Imho, it's a neverending cycle and it's wrong to think that the crash won't be followed by a bubble, thus it would probably be silly to sell now at a small fraction of the ATH. |

The majority of altcoins are scamcoins that will never make it above 1 dollar anyway. PPC has at least been valued much moreö |
