Website UpgradesIf you haven't had a chance to view the new peercoin website look, please take a visit here:
http://peercoin.net/We've been working diligently over the past week adding new resources to the project. A huge thanks goes out to Super3 and the rest of the web development team.
Bitcoin ConferencesPeercoin is confirmed to attend both the London and Las Vegas Bitcoin events in the next 2 months. We're excited about participating in the alt panel in London as well as having boots on the ground in Las Vegas. Our goal is to have representation at all the major events moving forward.
Merchant ServicesMuch of our energy is shifting toward payment processors and merchant services. Over the next few months you'll start seeing the Peercoin community ramp up for adding new merchants that accept Peercoin. We're currently wrapping up a payment processor proposal to leverage on November 18th. Thank you to everyone that's been taking time out of their busy schedule to assist us with this project.
Peercoin RolodexIt's impossible for the same core volunpeers to be at every Bitcoin Conference around the world. In an effort to make things easier for people that want to volunteer to give a talk at one of the upcoming events, we are creating a Peercoin rolodex of slides and speeches. In order to scale, we need to make it incredibly easy for members to view all the different aspects of Peercoin and be able to deliver a great speech on short notice.
CryptoThriftOur sister coin XPM is now supported on CryptoThrift, congrats. The Peercoin community will be contacting the admin to request the addition of PPC.

https://twitter.com/peercoinPPCVolunpeersWe've spent an enormous amount of hours working on the volunpeer program. Not only helping people identify roles, but working with them 1-on-1 to get them moving in the right direction. Every day, we have new people that are owning their positions and doing great things for Peercoin. The goal is to have 100+ active members doing a little something each week in development, marketing, conferences, promos and tutorials.
The Peercoin community believes there's a place for anyone that wants to participate. Whether you are a developer, artist, writer, web designer or just someone that loves to spread the word, we would like to hear from you. Please take a few minutes to fill out this very short questionnaire below and tell us about yourself:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/J9RNLPHWe welcome all types of talent. Make history and join the growing community of Peercoin volunpeers.
The FutureAs Peercoin continues to mature, you'll start to see a major shift on the day to day operations. Peercoin has already established itself as an alt currency leader in the crypto community, it's time to take the message to a much larger scale. Look for Peercoin in a few major publications in the coming months.
SummaryThis has been another great week in the Peercoin community. As many of prepare for the craziness that comes with the holidays, I want to thank the entire community for the hard work and unwavering dedication. Each of us are putting our heart into Peercoin and look forward to seeing a few new faces around the forum. If you would like to participate in the fun, please join us at:
