Peercoin Legal Risks Memo

April 24th Chain Reorganization

  • On April 24th, Poloniex reported a chain reorganization on the Peercoin chain. Upon investigation, it was established that a large miner came on the network and found six PoW blocks in rapid succession. These blocks were quickly orphaned by the network. We will be keeping a close eye on miner interest. You can see the spike in orphan blocks here: PeerCoin Extraction.

Peercoin Hashing Power

  • Hashing power has remained stable relative to previous months.

Thanks, Sentinel
What are the implications of the April 24th Chain Reorganization, is this good or bad?

It does not mean anything really, just a minor nuisance.

Could be even good - network was tested, and it stood it’s task of defending itself.
