Are good to go 
I built a new AppImage using https://github.com/peercoin/packaging/tree/master/appimage and uploaded it to https://files.peercoin.net/ 
It also happens to be the client I use for minting, transactions, etc. so… “Peercoin-x86_64.AppImage: At least one user!™” 
One weird thing I noticed on the testnet seed output, there are a lot of Strider nodes that are on a block chain with more blocks than mine (448509 v.s. 455992):

Maybe they didn’t sync from scratch and missed a hardened checkpoint or something? 
Anyway, exciting stuff 
hardened checkpoint doesn’t make you switch to different chain afaik, so if you update to strider from older 0.9 version, you’ll be stuck on the wrong fork.
