Crap, PPC seems like a dead coin. And i who bought 4000 when the price was 2 dollars.

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!  

It's at 1 dollar. Virtually all money are being sucked out of it.

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 market cap is still very good, which is more important than low volume price swings, either up or down.

Happy 2nd Anniversary!

Happy birthday to PPC.

Bitcoin core has a coin control feature now. If this feature could be implemented in PPC, that would be very good for PPC. Because of this feature, people can manage their coins flexibly: reserve some PPC for spending and the rest for staking. Then people can spend their PPC whenever without destroying other coins age.

520Bit -

Coin control is already a working feature of Peerunity.  Peerunity is the community-built wallet with several enhancements over Sunny's current reference wallet.  It was released in May and has already achieved wide-spread adoption.  To my knowledge, no significant security bugs or incompatibilities have been reported.  You can see the number of people already using Peerunity by having a look at http://cryptocities.appspot.com/peercoin-fullnodes.html.    (Peerunity is identified in the node version number.)

You can find out more about Peerunity here: http://www.peercointalk.org/index.php?topic=2902.0

Note: Coin control is currently considered an "expert" feature and must be deliberately enabled through Settings > Options > Display.  After enabling coin control, use the "Send Coins" tab to explore the individual transaction outputs stored in your wallet.

I have a short question about Peercoin.

If I send an amount of coins, will the wallet automatically send the coins who have the least coin-age, so it won't slow down the minting process?

I don't fully understand how the wallet selects coins but I know that the walllet won't select the youngest coins.  I think it istill use the bitcoin wallet's logic : find coins according to priority which is calculated to optimize chances to be included in the next block by the miners and to save transaction fee. Bitcoin priority is also calculated according to ages. The result is unfortunately that the oldest coins often get spent first 

Fortunately you can use coin control in Peerunity to choose exactly which coins to spend. When you send the wallet tells you how much transaction fee is needed for your selection before sending.

Thanks for your answer.

Is coin control already implemented in Peerunity, or is it in the works? If it's the former, I'll have to give it a try

Happy birthday  PPC.

Coin control is definitely implemented and working in Peerunity, but it has to be enabled in settings.  Please see my previous post just above.

Also, it appears that coding for v0.2 is already complete and new builds are expected soon; however I see no reason for not trying out the current version now.   (http://www.peercointalk.org/index.php?topic=2740.150)

Let me know what do you think?

Have you posted in peercointalk.org?

[Wekkel]

I managed to get some PPC on my Android phone.



Have not tried to move PPC back and forth from phone to PC yet. Video here.

PPC is definitely an innovation coin after two years running.

PPC can live long if one day PPC community could work well after Sunny King leaving PPC like Satoshi Nakamoto did.

I am very interested in Mr. Sunny King's thoughts. Are you considering to leave PPC like Satoshi did one day?

[BitcoinCharlie]

What does anyone think PPC will be worth in a year? Two?

[nwfella]

Not sure what PPC will be worth in a year or two but for now it's price is in serious decline.  Undoubtedly due at least in part to recent PayPal/BTC announcement.
