Peercoin blockchain (soft) forks at block #801331. SIGHASH_ANYPREVOUT (APO) is now activated. APO is a soft-fork that allows a transaction to be signed without reference to any specific previous output, such that any output with a matching signature can be dynamically added later.

Noosphere client is now open sourced under permissive BSD-3 license. Noosphere is the name of Peercoin Foundation's implementation of ROAST (Robust Asynchronous Schnorr Threshold) signatures. Flutter developers can now easily include this library in their apps.

62.6% of last 1000 blocks signal that they are ready for the v0.15 "APO" fork. This protocol update is about making DLCs nicer to use, ANYPREVOUT (APO) ensures that all outcomes of a DLC are in place before it is funded so that all parties to the DLC do not need to trust one another. Update today!

Participating in the consensus process by finding blocks does not require fancy hardware like it does with pretty much any other chain. Therefore, our governance is accessible to everyone. The optimal minting size is ~150 ppc at the moment, which is like $50 and runs on a Watt.

The Peercoin network successfully completed a hard fork to v0.12 Ladybug last night, finally attaining the 90% on-chain consensus required to activate the fork.  This monumental feat took far longer than originally anticipated, and included lots of lessons learned along the way.

1) What is a "coin", and how is it different from a "token"? A coin is a: * virtual asset living on its own blockchain * native currency on its own chain, and is used to handle the txn fees and as stake in the PoS consensus
