Does PPC do anything differently than Bitcoin to address the blockchain size issue?

I realize some do not consider the size an issue. But, I'm still curious to know how PPC handles it.

*edit*

Sunny answered my question in a PM. See below:

Hi Quantum,

  Not currently. There is a min output amount at 1 cent, to reduce 'dust' transactions. This would make ppcoin less prone to SatoshiDice type of usage, thus delaying the block chain growth to some extent.

  There are proposals under evaluations to address block chain growth, the one I currently favor is a recycling/rolling block chain. I don't know if bitcoin team would choose to implement a similar feature, but if they don't, then eventually ppcoin could support it. Currently ppcoin block chain is about 70MB.

  Best Regards,

It seems someone already requested PPCoin to be supported by Atlantis marketplace:

People should go and voice their support so that this actually happens. Ya?

robotrebellion, good idea

I like it.
Cheers!

PS! I am not going to push my sunflower idea here .. oops, I guess I just did Wink

Just posted a new thread on this ppcoin logo concept

https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/192741.0

Putting Chinese symbols there probably would limit its popularity. I don't know. Let's see how well it's received.

Thanks to robotrebellion and Mjbmonetarymetals for contribution of graphics work

Oh and a new term 'eco-currency' Grin

Well my thoughts were china is a fifth of the worlds population so it's could be a good move, I've given the thread a bump as this altcoin forum is moving at break neck speed.

Anyone else have an opinion on the logo , Shocked

........ We could end up with PPcoin up in lights too !!!!! Cheesy

I think the green theme is a winner. Not too sure on the chinese element to it but it looks very professional.

Throw in some idea's anything can be put on the coin , should it have the IP ?.. Like on the original logo. Huh

My vote is for a sun or sunshine theme, along with a rename to SUNcoin. The coins would probably be referred to as "sunnies" by the community. That has a nice ring to it.

Come on Sunny, change the name already!

Removed the Chinese twist, any thoughts Huh

I don't get how other altcoins are priced higher than ppc, even FTC released a few days ago is worth more than PPC.

Maybe because there are a lot more PPC than there are FTC??

The other coins are repeatedly pumped and dumped, resulting in what appears to be a steady long term increase. I've heard its harder to do this with PPC. Not sure why. Regardless, the others are sitting on a house of cards and will plummet in value if and when the pumping stops.

Might also be related to the fact that those other altcoins have issued much smaller amounts of coins so far. Going by market cap, ppcoin is about on par with namecoin, and about 5x bigger than the next one (terracoin). About 10x as big as feathercoin.

Because there's a tons of PPC out there, the new coins are relatively scarce. The price on new coins should drop in a few months, if not weeks.

I think dustcoin's calculation is a bit off for feathercoin, it's 4x too low. FTC has close to 30k BTC market cap today.

I've been waiting since last night to post this, since I was relegated to the newbie forum, but I love the new logo, if that is indeed what we're sticking with. I made it my new avatar. I think it helps bring PeerCoin a little bit more credibility. I just wish the website was updated now to be more friendly and informative to new people.
