Peercoin Newsletter - Issue 7

Introduction

Thank you for joining our official Peercoin Newsletter. Lots of great content this week so let's get started!



The Peershare Project

"Peershare is a way for businesses to manage publicly held shares in a decentralized fashion. It uses the Peercoin network to automate the distribution of associated dividends in the form of Peercoins."


The Peershare Project has received major funding - roughly $500,000 - now HIRING C++ developers and QA experts!


"Terms of compensation are negotiable and will be dependent upon the reputation that an individual has. We are open to either hourly rates (for people/personas/pseudonyms with developed reputations) or a bounty approach where payment is given for delivering software that meets certain specifications. Later other types of positions/roles will be opened. There will never be an office for this venture, so people in any part of the world can participate. Compensation will be paid through the Bitcoin network, while rates and bounties will be set in USD.

QA will begin with the task of testing Phase One development, which is complete. Developers will start with implementing Phases Two and Three. There are descriptions of these posted earlier in this thread, but updated and expanded specifications for these phases will be posted shortly to this thread. To acquire this dream job, start by sending me a Bitmessage at the address in my signature telling me why you are interested and qualified to participate."

Thanks

A newsletter definitely makes peercoin a bit more legit than other altcoins; the willingness to create such a publication must take up a bunch of time. PDhSnpe3a3PzMSJPNEPAbRJUmdDwb2bfSQ

This sounds excellent.
I'm a strong supporter of PPC's future. Was really the first to address the centralising-decentralisation problem of BTC. It's also exciting to see these SHARE type movements. PPC shares seem the most promising considering the community and market that is already in place. The more that crypto's can be used in a broader sense throughout the greater economy and market the brighter their future and the weaker the traditional banking system. All in all. Three thumbs up.

And I'm always keen for the chance of some free coins!

+1 for Peercoin! I think this coin has a bright future, as most proof of stake currencies out there right now.

Will we see a Peercoin ATM this year?

Why do you forecast that few altcoins will survive through 2014?  Why wouldn't continued innovation occur throughout the year?
Will we see a service like Coinbase, but for Peercoin - or better yet will we see Peercoin ON Coinbase in 2014?

What do you see as the continued relationship between PPC & XPM?  How will one support another throughout the coming year?
How do you see the changes in PPC affecting XPM , and should we be worried about Dogecoin being #4 in Market Capitalization(mineable crypto anyways..)
What about Mining Profitability of Peercoin? Are there any plans for Peercoin specific mining rigs?

[ChrisFahrenheit]

Peercoin is one of my favourites if not favourite one.

Thanks!

[chetalk]

Maybe I cannot offer any insightful comments about Peercoin in technical aspects,but I really appreciate your efforts in promotion, like the nice newsleeter. And what I want to say is that you should make more marketing profitable to ordinary crypto-fans,like Dogecoin does. Only when more and more people get to know you,get interested in you,get profit from you,you can just develop sronger and stronger in the competitive crypto-currency market. Best wishes to you and good luck!

Thank you!

This project is great news for propelling PPC into a great year and becoming the leader for growth as the bitcoin predecessor in 2014. The name speaks for itself and with the marketing and community PPC has been the most stable and reliable coin to invest in, while still in its early stages. We will one day be using this coin as a decentralized currency to the alternative, the sky is the limit here .

Peercoin could benefit a great deal from multisig support.  Are there any plans to incorporate this?

Peercoin already supports multisig.

You can create a multi signature address with "ppcoind addmultisigaddress" as described by Gavin for bitcoin here: http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/3557/how-does-one-make-multisignature-transactions-with-the-bitcoin-client/3560#3560.

The code is the same as bitcoin's : https://github.com/ppcoin/ppcoin/commit/922e8e2929a2e78270868385aa46f96002fbcff3

I find this a great newsletter. This is one of the only coins that has a newsletter with a lot of information. A lot of others don't publish anything.
You've done a great work. A lot of felicitations.
It's a coin for the future without a doubt.
I'm also registred at Peercointalk.org (username : rikkie)
