how can I disable minting?

I have

Minting should be disabled by default if your wallet is encrypted and you have done nothing to unlock it. If your wallet is unencrypted and contains coins in it, then minting should be activated by default. If that is the case, all you need to do is create a good password and encrypt your wallet, which will disable minting until you unlock it. Once the full blockchain has been downloaded though, then it shouldn't matter anymore and you can click "unlock wallet for minting only" to activate minting again.

this is the problem
->
if  I start it it crashes after a few seconds
not possible to encrypt it in this time....
is it possible to download the full blockchain (torrent or FTP)?
thx

Try going into your Peercoin folder and moving your wallet.dat file somewhere else. Then start the client again. This will create a new fresh wallet.dat file with no peercoin in it. Once the blockchain fully syncs, then place your original wallet.dat file back in the peercoin folder, replacing the new one that was created. If that doesn't solve the problem, please let us know.

We are working diligently on the infrastructure. There will be a public update in a little bit, but we need to wrap up a few things first. People have been very busy with the v0.6 Peercoin update. However, we've been getting a lot done, some of which we cannot share publicly

Is there a roadmap from the development of this coin.
I know it's been here forever , but what's cooking for the future ?

v0.6 just released and we are currently focusing on that. However, we've been discussing what we'd like to accomplish for a while now. Official talks have started recently about what exactly we want to include in v0.7. Once developers come to consensus, we'll most likely release some kind of roadmap so the community knows what to expect from us in the future.

It is like Bitcoin

As mentioned earlier, v0.6.1 has been released. This version should solve the issues people were having earlier with the client minting before the blockchain is fully synced. If anyone is still having this issue, please report it here.

Also, a troubleshooting guide has been added to the release thread here...

Peercoin is defended from the greedy miners.

Bitcoin's security relies on miners. As time goes on, Bitcoin will be forced to move transactions "off block-chain". If Bitcoin moves off block-chain, miners cannot be compensated for these transactions. If miners cannot be compensated, they won't mine. If miners don't mine, network security goes down as time goes on. As time goes on, Bitcoin becomes increasingly less secure and more risky to use as a safe-haven to store very large sums of money. Peercoin's design solves this problem.

PPC is more energy efficient, secure against 51% attack, and enforce transaction fees at protocol level to defend against block bloating attacks. Bitcoin's network is actually a huge waste of energy, and will become less and less attractive as time goes on, less secure as time goes on, and eventually get block bloated. Peercoin has "Significant" innovation above and beyond bitcoin.

Are there any mock ups of a peercoin website redesign? We need too improve the website

The energy efficiency aspect cannot be underestimated.

Bitcoin will suffer from an endless cycle of perpetually needing more and more and MORE mining gear to keep it going...this process is really turning into a beast that can only end badly...and it is never going to end. The worst part about Bitcoin is that Proof-of-Work has basically turned into Proof-of-Electricity. This is going to be a serious energy problem...and only the places with cheap electricity will be able to compete...this will force energy prices perpetually higher and higher.

But now, with Peercoin, it this is completely unnecessary. Peercoin is evironmentally sustainable, and shows that Bitcoin is just an inefficient coin, a complete waste of money, and resources.

I am not against Bitcoin, I love BTC, but I am looking objectively, and I am willing to admit it is not perfect. There is absolutely NO WAY it can become a world reserve currency! The energy costs would destroy our planet. I am against the direction BTC is going, greed it taking over peoples' common sense. Wake up people! Lose your pride! Humble yourselves! Don't lose your head, but rather use common sense.

If you honestly think Bitcoin would ever be the world's reserve currency, and you honestly think it would be worth $1,000,000 per coin or whatever your astronomically high number is, just think about all of the power wasted on mining to support such a beast!

Continuing to be a Bitcoin advocate while it destroys our planet, is evil. May I remind you that we are trying to get ourselves away from corruption, tyranny and death, and rather to bring life to our world. Bitcoin will not be able to fit into this picture in the long run. The sooner we switch to Peercoin, or other efficient coins, the better.

There is a roadmap website that is under development that will go live first before we work on the main website, though I can't say how long it will take yet. I just received concepts for it tonight, but we're still working on adjusting the design.

[Verdell]

Can we have look at the website ideas ?
