Is the ecoining pool still up?  Chrome won't let me log onto it because of something that expired.

Peercoin is trading at all time low vs bitcoin .00024 which is 4100  peercoin to the bitcoin seems awfully undervalued too me and 0.6 is coming soon

Litecoin is pumping, I think PPC is next! Its always like that, I think $8-10 by next month!

What is a good pool to mine this?   I don't like mining coins on pools that I'm not allowed to log in, but I remember ecoining was a major Peercoin pool.

Reffi peercoin is as good if not better then many coins in the top 20 I think it's only matter of time till the market gets it

Peercoin on Jan 4 2014 was trading at .00800000 with a market cap of,138 million I see no reason why that makert cap number cant be surpassed and it's not out of the realm of possibility that the .00800000 could be surpassed as well peercoin currently trading at .0002200000 with a 30 million market cap

For me, the crucial question for Peercoin in the next months/years is if it can achieve a security level that is high enough to possibilitate most users to "opt-out" from the centrally synced checkpoints.

If that level is achieved - it may be needed to change the PoS algorithm and incorporate newer developments, e.g. Economic Clustering, Slashing, and features of Casper and Ouroboros - then a return to the top 10 coins is within reach. PeerAssets alone would be a step into the right direction, but until the checkpoint issue isn't solved I see no chance for a top valuation (top 20 or higher).

0.6 is about too be live and there are 4800 peercoin to the bitcoin some day I believe we look back and say wow if ever a coin was saying buy me I'm outrageously undervalued it's peercoin

Beautiful article and so true. The real reason why ppc will be a winner in long term is the pos feature. Many people now don't understand (I tool six months to get my head around it) but when the energy consumption is just too much people will turn to this and other pos coins.

Only 105 pages  on bitcoin talk and there isn't a peercoin slack this has led  too the community not being properly informed about peercoin which has led too the all time low price of peercoin vs bitcoin the community needs to do a much better job of informing the world about peercoin sooner or later the fundamentals behind peercoin will lead to a huge price rise any way

As m4nki posted above, most of our community communicates through either our forum https://talk.peercoin.net/ or our main chat hub: https://peercoin.chat/ The General channel of peercoin.chat is also connected with our Telegram channel: https://telegram.me/peercoin via bots so both sides can communicate with each other. It's better to sign up at peercoin.chat though as there are multiple other channels and our developers usually hang out there and answer questions. We chose the RocketChat platform rather than Slack because it is software we can host and run ourselves.

People who are new too crypto or peercoin don't go too peercoin chat there needs too be more information here on bitcoin talk and there should be a peercoin slack yes eventually the better mouse trap principal will lead too a dramatic rise in peercoin prices but it's in peercoins best interests too get the word out sooner rather then latter and slack and more info on bitcointalk would go long way achieve those goals

Peercoin slipped too number 120 on coinmarket cap it's time too try some other public relations avenues why can't you have a peercoin slack also ?

[Sentinelrv]

I can talk to the team about it, we’ll see. I guess there is no hurt in adding additional platforms.

It is too bad that this grand lady amongst established coins is slipping away from the front pages just like that. The BTC-E downfall probably did not help either but the active participants in this coin could give it some more love with continued media attention. The technique is still interesting as an alternative of PoW.

Well, just check back one page here.  I asked two good questions for the health of the coin and not one response.

Sorry, we tried contacting the pool operator for you back when you posted this, but we did not get a response. We will try contacting again. The pool seems to be up and running though. In the meantime, can you confirm whether login is still not working? Have you tried any other browser to see if that helps? I will report back to let you know if we were able to get a response from the pool runner.

Also, I’m not sure if you associated health of the network with a lack of response or mining not working. Peercoin is secured through proof of stake only, so mining can’t effect the health of the network. Also as for lack of response, I explained above that we were not able to get a response from the pool operator. I should have responded here to let you know though, so I apologize for that. The team has been very busy lately getting the v0.6 release ready, so it unfortunately slipped my mind.
