Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

Absolutely will. Until then, still some room up top, just don't miss the dump. |

Short term - because of Nubits
Long term - because its the father of POS, it's the oldest POS chain, it has sensible developers who are playing the long game, not just trying to be the next gimmick pump as all the scamcoins out there are.
Next to Bitcoin it is by far my favorite coin and has been for a long while already.. I don't think it gets the attention it deserves.

How is it better than NXTcoin? they are both Pos, fairly distributed ICO, yet NXT has a decentralized asset exchange that is turning a major part of the asset exchange volume compared to competitors. https://coinmarketcap.com/assets/It has tools that are enabling tech like Nxtty chat, a mobile app that allows P2p encrypted chat and encrypted voice calls, plus nxttycoin wallet. Nxttycoin being an asset ontop of nxt. And to top it off, it has a very similar service as namecoin called an alias system. Which as far as my non developer understanding, it at least just as good. Even if they've solved the problem of volatility, which is yet to be seen, NXT is till better tech wise. And hey, awesome development, thank you Peercoin devs. But aside from that. Why are peercoin users not using NXT instead? | |

I find it ironic that the hashrate went from 390t to roughly 1.3p.. If that chart I saw was accurate. It only took 3 days to get there.. so it looks some miners stopped mining btc and started ppc..too bad you cant merge mine them, like you can with nmc..

So, only Peercoin. By the way, this article gives a pretty decent little overview of what's going on: http://www.coinssource.com/nubits-revealed-three-days/ |

Why are peercoin users not using NXT instead? NXT seems to be a swiss army knife that is designed to do everything, but along with that nothing really well, plus theirs a bit of a distribution stigma. PeerCoin is designed as a long term, backbone currency, by code and boundary conditions, as well as running requirements. This is just my view though. Also Peercoin is the longest runing POS, and first POS. The whole alt coin scene including NXT basically has gone to POS. The DEV sunnky king is regular, every weeks and update, and a plan, plus he released XPM, now they have sigmike as DEV and have peerunity/peershares, PeerFor Commit and now NuBits, so a dif client as I understand it. Soon cold locked minting is coming out. NXT dev just disappeared and cut short the IPO. SunnyKing is playing the really really long game, to the extent that most crypto people don't understand peercoin at all. Most crypto people including BTC's ers dream of Amazon, Ebay etc. They don't get that these are small companies with little money/cash/etc and likely push price down at least in the short term. Retail is crap and exactly were the money is not. Peercoin is aimed squarely at the Banking system, where the money is. The extent to how crypto's dont get this is that there is no competitor to PeerCoin still, whereas every other crypto has multiple competitors. I do really like NXT though |

Yeah BitSharesX made that same claim but yet each time I look on Coinmarketcap its' capitalization is swinging all over the place. No way to stop volatility of anything.. yes you can implement stability (like anti-whale measures) but volatility happens everywhere. Even currencies in developed countries can gain or lose 10 cents USD value within a 10 year period. Volatility in crypto currencies will only be lessened when you have volume in the tens of billions. |

BitSharesX never claimed that BTSX would be stable lol, it's BitUSD which is supposed to be stable around $1.00 per. Which it has been doing very, very well. |

Which they do by having a developer that stops the BitUSD markets when he feels like it - to change the code and tweak the price. For the rest it's 200% collateral in the other crypto, that nobody can be sure of will have value forever. I think NuBits has to do only slightly better to beat them... though I'm skeptical. It's a tough problem to solve. |

I agree, because Peercoins are much too cheap for what they are worth  ...just kiddin' and not intending to start a flame war... As long as the markets are open enough the price is determined by supply and demand. So I guess most prices make sense... I don't see a regulation for Peercoin market. And the price surge of Peercoin was most likely caused by a rising demand. The announcement of NuBits preemptively created demand for Peercoins because NuBits is known as a Peershares implementation which is intended to use Peercoins for paying dividends: http://www.peercointalk.org/index.php?topic=2923.0So once NuBits runs successfully there will be more demand for Peercoin. And that created today's demand for Peercoin; who want's to be too late? |

The work that was put into Peershares was tremendous and much more than just marketing and pumping. And creating NuBits from the Peershares template was a lot of work as well. I bet there are easier ways to scam people and the reputation of the developers is quite high. If it's a pump, it's a very complex, costly and sophisticated one I wonder whether or not it is easier to do all this work or to pretend to have done it (without being revealed as scammer) Let's see what happens after tomorrow, 2 p.m. UTC |

If the price remains stable then I don't see the point in buying this and increasing its price.
If the price of NuBits remain stable then again the same problem arises.

Stable would just mean a steady increase or decrease in price over time, If it is true and offers stability as it suggests then you can expect a nice stable rise over time as interest grows |

Not much use of Peercoin in this. Expect the price to drop back to the pre hype levels.
The countdown and everything looks like was designed by the insiders to pump and dump Peercoin. There are some manipulators enjoying big profits now.
