See my message here for details on the closing of the exchange: Recent events have shown that running an exchange is way to risky and stressful to me in the current alt coin climate. Prices have risen to a point where I'm not comfortable I can provide a reasonable level of service. To this end I'm closing the exchange and encourage all users to move to vircurex. The following details are on the exchange site: 2013-04-05: The Bitparking exchange is closing down. I've decided the risk involved in dealing with the current high prices for the alt coins has moved from the 'fun hobby' level the exchange originally started with and requires a more serious approach to operation. I've been in contact with the Vircurex exchange and I encourage all existing customers to move their funds and continue trading their.
The exchange will close trading Friday 5 April 2013 22:00 and new deposit addresses will not be able to be created. Trading operations will also be disabled. Withdrawals will be available for a few days after that at which point the exchange will close and all funds sent to their emergency withdrawal address. Withdrawal fees are removed during this period. Thanks for using the exchange and enjoy a better and more professional experience at Vircurex.

Any chance of being able to add PPCoin to mergemining?
It would be better than having to use failover or rotate with cgminer.

It's not possible to merge mine PPCoin with bitcoin. The PPCoin designers did not add this functionality (by design) and making the changes to the coin would not be network compatible with existing PPCoin miners. A pool could probably merge mine PPCoin with the other alt coins (Namecoin, etc) if they added the appropriate patches to PPCoin though since this is generally network compatible. |

Hi doublec,
Thanks a lot for the effort. If you plan to use checkpoint to confirm deposit as you mentioned earlier please let me know when you implement it. I will update you of any planned checkpoint policy change.
Current checkpoint policy is on every proof-of-work block and up to 4 hours for consecutive proof-of-stake blocks. This policy is expected to last at least through 2nd month of ppcoin network.
Central checkpoint is best effort as it may experience down time. Rule of thumb is block chain is solidified up to where you see with getcheckpoint RPC call.
Best Regards,
|

I recall doublec saying he wouldn't open another exchange for alternative cryptocurrencies unless of course he thought it would survive the long term. Great ppc exchange.
PPCoins are also being traded at http://exchange.zapto.org/ as well |

I'm trialing a PPCoin exchange at https://ppcexchange.bitparking.com. It works similar to my namecoin and litecoin exchanges. If you register please include an emergency PPC and BTC withdrawal address when prompted so the exchange can refund coins if it needs to close. The deposit addresses are permanent - they don't change and you can send to them multiple times - which is different from how my namecoin exchange operates. What code are you running for your exchange? Is it open source in anyway? |
more or less retired.

It's custom code written by me in the Ur/Web programming language. It's not open source at this stage. |
