I’ve written a beginner’s guide to getting setup with a Peercoin wallet.
Hope it helps!
Feedback appreciated.

Nice guide and screenshots 
well done keep up the good work
Hey cryptonews, great guide Is there much demand within the forum for a GNU/Linux-based HOWTO?
I might have a go and see if I can get it to play nice on Ubuntu 12.10.
Thanks, BDMNZ.
PPC works fine on Linux.
Nice guide for Windows users, thanks! Would be cool to have a similar guide for Linux and Mac users.

Are you on Windows, Linux or Mac? Which miner are you using? 8332 is a getwork port 3333 is stratum. Give us a bit more detail and we might be able to help.

Hi All
I downloaded my wallet but it appears to not be downloading the blockchain. There is a message at the bottom of the wallet saying.
Warning checkpoint is too old. Wait for blockchain to download or notify developers of the issue.
Any ideas?
Added in edit:
I unistalled peercoin and reinstalled it but same problem. Says the checkpoint is too old and wont even start downloading the blockchain 
Thank you buddy, I will read it. ;D
