Piggy Team

The Android PiggyBank has been remade for New PiggyCoin and is now back on the Google Play store!  Click here to go and see it.

Finally you can access your PIGGYs on the move 😉

The old PIG PiggyBank has now been removed from the Play store.

Note: Please only be logged into an account on one device at a time. Log out of the Web PiggyBank on your computer before you log into the same account on your Android device.

Mac PiggyBank

The Mac v1.2.1.1 PiggyBank is out of beta and available!  Get it at https://www.piggy-coin.com/getting-started/

There are some minor visual glitches associated with the sidebar being too wide.  We’ll fix those in a future release.

Easter Paper PiggyBank

For a limited time only, check out our Easter-themed Paper PiggyBank at https://www.piggy-coin.com/PiggyPaperWallet

Oink,

The PiggyTeam

A desktop PiggyBank update is available — version 1.2.1.1.  This fixes some minor but important issues from the first release of PiggyStakes (v1.2.0).  You should upgrade to 1.2.1.1 as soon as you can; older clients will eventually be cut off the network.

Get v1.2.1.1 here: https://www.piggy-coin.com/getting-started/

Mac users, a Mac release is coming in mere days.  Please do not stake until then!

The hard fork to 3% interest has been successful!  You must upgrade to a new PiggyBank (wallet) or stop staking!  Get your new PiggyBanks here: https://www.piggy-coin.com/getting-started/

The PiggyFacts faucet is down temporarily, for just a few days we hope.

There will be a hard fork within the next few days, to fix the interest rate to 3%.  You must upgrade!

Perhaps you already got a new wallet?  Make sure you’re on the newpiggycoin 1.2.0 version. (Help->About->About PiggyBank)

Staking fix

Good news! We have identified the specific source of the bug that led to a lower-than-expected interest rate, and so we are preparing for a hard fork to fix it.

It seems few people want the interest rate to be 15%, so we’ll be ‘fixing’ it to a lower amount. Have your say on what you think the interest rate should be by voting here if you can: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=715699.0, or by just replying to this post. Also let us know if there’s anything else about the staking you think should be changed.

Paper wallets

As previously mentioned, a paper wallet generator is available here: https://www.piggy-coin.com/PiggyPaperWallet/

It’s useful for gifting or storing PiggyCoins. Notice that there are two PiggyCoin designs available.

It takes a long time to import private keys with the ‘newpiggycoin v1.0.0.0’ wallet, so you might want to upgrade to a newer wallet in that case.

Android wallet

The external dev who did the web wallet is the same one who will do the Android wallet. He’s been busy with paid work though, but will get round to doing our Android wallet pro-bono eventually.

There should be no changes required to the web or Android wallets for the hard fork, as these are not staking wallets.

Piggy power

LitePaid.com, a cryptocurrency payment processor, has indicated to us that they are open to the possibility of accepting PiggyCoin. This would allow online shops to accept PiggyCoin using an automated system. Please Tweet at them to let them know you want this! https://twitter.com/litepaid

We already have a retailer lined up who will accept PiggyCoins if we get on LitePaid!

Still seeking workers

It seems likely that the price will be higher following a successful hard fork (and there’s no real reason it wouldn’t be successful). We have a professional dev already, neurocis, but he would like to be more devoted to his EasySend-on-the-Blockchain project.

The price is still low, so we think this would still be a great time for another dev to buy in, to have skin in the game to make it worth his while to work on the project. Core devvery would be great — We’d like to have a Gitian compilation system — or someone who would make a Reddit tipbot. But really, any help would be good.

The PiggyCoin Foundation

The price is still too low to be worth converting the PiggyCoins to Bitcoins right now. They will eventually be converted and donated to 88bikes.

PiggyFacts

The PiggyFacts faucet has run low on PiggyCoins. If you would like to donate, there’s information on how to do here: http://piggyfacts.com/donate.php

Premine

All 1% (5 million PiggyCoins) of the pre-mine is still available, and in the possession of the PiggyTeam. We’re hesitant to use it on anything at the moment as the price is so low.

Happy New Year,
The PiggyTeam

New!  PiggyCoin Paper Wallet Generator: https://www.piggy-coin.com/PiggyPaperWallet/

There are two designs available.

You might use a paper wallet to gift PiggyCoins, or to store them.

(Note: Importing the private keys is very slow with the older. v1.0.0.0 version of the wallet.)

Piggy New Year all!  ヾ(￣(●●)￣)ノ  Did you notice that the online web wallet has returned?

https://piggybank.piggy-coin.com/

If you previously held an Online PiggyBank account balance, you should have received an e-mail giving you information on a special way to log in to restore your previous balance.  (Check your Spam folder.)  If not, please contact piggycointeam(at)gmail(dot)com to ask us to re-send that e-mail.

Expect more from the PiggyTeam soon!

PiggyCoin targets the globe to become the first cryptocurrency to reward learning.

Come join me as your coach on khanacademy and #YouCanLearnAnything ! I am giving #AMillionReasons why, in the form of 1 million PiggyCoins to be distributed as follows:

– 10 Piggy for adding me as your coach. (Class Code: QZ6UP8 )
– 10 Piggy for every badge earned while you have me as a coach.
– 10 Piggy per 1,000 Energy points earned while you have me as a coach.
– 100 Piggy bonuses announced to students only (via khanacademy).

Payouts will be available upon request to me as your coach until such time as an automated process can be developed with khanacademy. I am willing to run this until the end of the year 2015, the 1 million PIGGY is exhausted, or further funding dictates otherwise.

To get started, as easy as 1-2-3:

1. Sign up at khanacademy (or log in with an existing account)
2. Visit khanacademy.org/coaches
3. There, in the “Add a coach” field, enter the class code QZ6UP8

Why am I doing this? I believe in this coin, its team and its mandate. That it is severely undervalued and has some truly impressive potential. I am part of the Piggy Team and have a vested interest in its success, that khanacademy aligns nicely with the mandate of the coin and those committed to its success. That there are another one million plus reasons in the faces of those that would excel if given, even a token, more incentive to learn the growth mindset.

I want to see both this coin and #AMillionReasons succeed, but I am only one person. If you want to be part of something different, something that can really make a change, get involved, and do it now .. #YouCanLearnAnything !
