Announcing Peerunity - The Future of Peercoin and Peershares development

[Yurizhai]

Announcing the future of Peercoin and Peershares development, Peerunity.

Jordan Lee's announcement.

I am pleased to be able to announce the launch of Peerunity development, your next Peercoin wallet.

Since day one the Peershares specification has included a client (wallet) that would integrate support for Peercoin as well as multiple Peershares instances. While this versatile client has not been scheduled for the initial release of the Peershares template, the Peershares team feels it is time to begin development of this combined Peercoin/Peershares wallet. Accordingly, you can find the code project here: https://github.com/Peerunity/Peerunity

It is a fork of the ppcoin repository. The first two or three releases will not feature support of Peershares. We would like it to be an open and inclusive environment for the broader Peercoin community to improve this Peercoin client. This does not belong to the Peershares team. In recognition of Peershares' dependence on Peercoin, some development of Peerunity will be sponsored by the Peershares team. We also want to reach out to developers such as irigi, b0netruper, Curve25519, JSmith-BitFlipper, ghost, sengaya, ngbatnicdotmil, ErikDubbelboer, samilaine and especially vpereira who have placed pull requests against ppcoin and say: the Peercoin community is very thankful for your work and we want to cooperate closely with you to refine and test your contributions and get them into the hands of users in the Peercoin community quickly. We encourage all developers considering making a pull request against the ppcoin repository to also make a pull request against Peerunity.

To help faciliate broad community cooperation, a number of trusted Peercoin/Peershares community leaders have write permissions to the repository, meaning they can integrate the code changes into the master copy of the code. These members are Sunny King, Ben, sigmike and myself.

I have said in the past that Peercoin development will be provided and funded by our Peershares team in the future. Today that future arrives. The Peershares project will be funding user interface based minting (aka one button minting) and will also provide Peercoin branding (updating PPCoin branding) for the client in our first Peerunity release. We will also include most of the pull requests currently pending against the ppcoin repository. We want to lock down the code for testing very quickly (in a week or two) and then release very quickly after that, so if you have something you would like to contribute to the first release, please speak up quickly and we will consider your request. One button minting is already in Peerunity (thanks to sigmike and funding from Peershares) and we will be merging ppcoin pull requests in the coming days. Initially we will place changes in master. As the cutoff for feature inclusion arrives, we will branch into 0.5, stabilize the branch through testing for release and simultaneously continue adding additional improvements to master.

The days of slow or nonexistent Peercoin development are over.

Finally, the community can now contribute to the Peercoin wallet.
Peerunity is in fact the Peercoin wallet community edition. Finally we will have a minting button and other goodies for those who want it.

Great news. Anyone not buying and holding peercoin at this time are really going to regret it in a few years.

This is amazing news everyone. We've so far been held back when wanting to improve the official Peercoin wallet. This community client will allow everyone to contribute. We can build something truly special and easy to use, while Sunny King continues to focus on the Peercoin protocol. Who knew Peershares would be such a big deal when Jordan first posted about it!

Jordan Lee is amazing!

I love it!
It is a great idea, which is in impressive development: http://www.peercointalk.org/index.php?topic=527.0

This is in fact one of the next steps to free the world.
Bitcoin created an idea and provided an implemenation to transfer money.
Peershare will provide a concept for funding (amongst other things) with the same prerequisites as Bitcoin has for transferring money:
trust in the solution itself, but no trust to other parties required!

As Peershares is designed to work (initially) together with Peercoin it will assist and boost Peercoin's development.
It's awesome!

MoD, there are so many people here that don't realize what they're missing out on. It's so sad seeing these scam coin threads generate so many replies while true innovative projects like these that are funded with hundreds of thousands of dollars go ignored. There are too many people that are blind and unaware to the developments that are happening in their very own backyard.

It's a bit sad, but some things get overlooked partly due to the fact that the crypto world is very crowded.

For those who want it in short words (what Peershares is; as Peerunity is related to it) here is an introduction:

Or even more conveniently

Peershares are an inexpensive and decentralized ledger to be used by businesses for tracking share ownership and distributing dividends in an automated fashion. Shares can be transferred and held just like Peercoins. Each business using Peershares will have their own blockchain that is independent of all others. Blockchains can be secured cheaply and easily using Proof of Stake. Using Peershares, a tiny business could raise funding through an IPO without depending on a third party such as a stock exchange. While trading shares through exchanges will be useful to provide liquidity, Peershares can be traded on any number of exchanges just as Peercoins can. A share issuer is not vulnerable to the failure of single stock exchange such as BTC Trading or Litecoin Global. Issuers can distribute dividends as Peercoins.

Peerunity is the first wallet and client supporting both Peercoin and Peershares.
This is one of the next steps in the crypto coin development.
Peershares is so much more than just another currency.

It is a concept to compete with stock exchanges!

I wonder for how long this will remain overlooked...

Seems like there will not only be a one click minting button, improved GUI and such, but possibly coin control in the first release (few weeks) as well. Awesome
