<h3>Internet Pizza for Sale!<small> 2.23.2015</small></h3>
<p>Proffessor Evans revealed today that a <a href="http://pizza.bitcoin-class.org">market place</a> for purchasing pizza
with pointcoin has just launched. Anonymous sources at office hours on Friday
revealed that the first Papa John's pizza was delivered to them for an undisclosed
amount.
</p>
<p>Right now, three different types of pizza are available for purchase from the site.
Evan's warned today that given the profusion of pointcoin recently the price for that
pizza will be rising.
The real operator of the site has yet to reveal himself, but it is suspected that Dave
himself is financially backing the operation. More to come...

<h3>PointCoin is Dead. Long Live PointCoin!<small> 2.15.2015</small></h3>
<p>After network outages and numerous forks, teaching staff decided to restart
the PointCoin block chain with better rules on Wednesday of this week. The new
block chain will have a higher difficulty and a longer block time to prevent the
sort of outages that occured last week.
</p>
<p>A soft launch of the new PointCoin network was completed on Monday and it has been
opened up for students to join since then. At the time of this writing <a href="http://safari.bitcoin-class.org">Point
Safari</a> is reporting the new chain faithfully. It is yet to be determined
if this new network is more resilient than the last.

<h3>Influx of Miners Coming!<small> 2.9.2015</small></h3>
<p>Professor Evans' issued a dire warning today to those who
wait to start collecting coins. Since the difficulty of mining
readjusts to the number of miners working on blocks, the longer a
miner waits to start the harder it becomes to collect coins.
</p>
<p>
The TA's echoed this concern, but acknowledge that unforseen, calamatous events
on the network will readjust the required coin threshold in the student's favor.
More news to follow.

<h3>The Network is Live! <small> 2.2.2015</small></h3>
<p>The dashing TA's for UVA's CryptoCurrency Cafe course launched PointCoin, an
entirely unique digital cash system, last night. The digital currency is dedicated to creating
a fixed peg between points on Project 2 and coins held by account holders
enrolled in CS 4501.
</p>
<p>Staff had several reasons for establishing their own currency. The main goal
was to give students tangible exerpience interacting with these
new digital cash schemes at the network level. They also wanted students
to mine these coins using their own hardware.
</p>
<p>When questioned further the instructor admits that other goods
will be redeemable with PointCoin. Exactly what goods are for sale is yet to be revealed.
