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.

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.
