This actually started as something much smaller but here we are.

I wanted to put together a little extra info for an email I was going to send to a journalist, aaaaaand somehow I ended up with what I think is a pretty solid website with nothing but facts about Pepecoin

https://PepecoinHub.com/

The basic idea was to collect useful information in one place and make sure you don’t have to take my word for any of it. Pretty much everything you’ll see there has a source behind it. You can check the links at the bottom of the pages yourself and verify where the information comes from.

There’s a bit of everything there:

comparisons of Pepecoin ($PEP) vs PEPE vs PEPE2016

an explanation of Scrypt and AuxPoW,
comparison of our launch with Doge’s launch,

supply and mining information, wallets, exchanges, network stats, a price calculator and some other stuff.

And the part I’m probably most happy with is the Rich List.

You can follow the distribution of the top 2,000 PEP wallets, with historical snapshots going all the way back to February 5, 2024 and continuing to the present. So you can actually see how the distribution has changed over time, how many coins the biggest wallets hold, how the top addresses move around etc.

I tried to make the whole thing as transparent as possible. No “trust me bro” numbers, no random claims copied from somewhere. There are sources and links so you can check things yourself.

The site also has translations into several languages, although some of them definitely need fixing So please give me feedback. If something is translated badly, outdated, unclear or simply wrong, tell me. I can fix it directly on the production

Same goes for anything that’s missing. I’m sure there are things that could be explained better or sections that could be added, so feel free to point them out.

It’s a community project, not an official Pepecoin website.

Have a look, try to find something I got wrong, and let me know what you think.

And if you think it’s useful, please share it. The more people look at it and send feedback, the better I can make it.

This one's a bit long. If you just want the TLDR skip to the last paragraph.

ETH and SOL offer huge possibilities: smart contracts, DeFi, entire ecosystems built on top. But look at how many projects have launched on them over the past few years, and how many actually survived past one hype season. Most are ghost towns: a token, a website, a Discord, and silence a year later. The problem isn't the tech itself. It's that the barrier to entry is so low that any idea, good or bad, can get a token in a week.

On Scrypt, with Litecoin as the foundation, you can build something just as interesting, only more durable, because it requires real work instead of just deploying a contract.

And I'll say this upfront: this post isn't about telling you to buy LTC. Litecoin itself isn't the point here. What I'm interested in is the mechanism it powers, and what you can build alongside it.

Did you know that the exact same hardware that mines Litecoin also secures the Dogecoin network at the same time, with zero extra electricity or hardware? It's called merged mining. A miner solves one computational problem, and that proof of work is valid on both networks simultaneously, because they both run the same algorithm (Scrypt).

This isn't some obscure detail. It's the foundation of the entire Proof-of-Work Scrypt ecosystem, and honestly one of the more underrated things in crypto right now.

Why this even matters: token vs. mined coin

Crypto is flooded with tokens. They're easy to create, easy to plug into wallets and exchanges, and startup funding is usually not hard to find either. The result is millions of projects, with only a fraction of them actually alive.

A mined coin is a different category entirely. Much harder to break into, but you lose a whole class of risk. There's no single admin address that can freeze your wallet, rug pull you, or mint itself extra supply overnight. What you hold is backed by real electricity and real hardware that someone actually spent.

Why it's worth rooting for Litecoin, even if you don't hold it

This is where merged mining comes back in. When LTC price rises, Scrypt mining profitability rises with it. Higher profitability attracts more miners and more hardware. More miners means higher hashrate across the entire Scrypt network, which directly increases the security of every coin running on that same algorithm. Litecoin's success genuinely raises the security and visibility of everything merge-mined alongside it.

The project I'm actually here for: r/Pepecoin

Full disclosure upfront: I hold $PEP and I'm involved in the community, so weigh everything below with that in mind.

Pepecoin is a Scrypt PoW coin, merge-mined alongside LTC and DOGE, meaning it inherits the same battle-tested network security from block one, at zero extra cost to miners. What makes it different from the hundred other frog-themed tokens out there is exactly that. It's not a token sitting on someone else's chain, dependent on a contract owner or a bridge or a foundation's goodwill. It's its own blockchain, secured by the same hashpower that's been protecting Litecoin since 2011 and Dogecoin since 2013.

That's the bet, if you want to call it that. While most meme projects live and die by marketing spend, Pepecoin's security doesn't depend on hype cycles. It scales with however healthy the broader Scrypt ecosystem is. Every bit of good news for LTC or DOGE mining economics is, structurally, good news for PEP too. It's small right now, and it might stay small, but the mechanism underneath it isn't going anywhere as long as Litecoin exists.

Capital is starting to notice

An interesting signal from the past few months: Bit Origin, a Nasdaq-listed company, announced plans to build a Dogecoin-based treasury worth up to $500M, basically "MicroStrategy for DOGE." I've also come across a smaller, private initiative called Scrypt Strategy, building a publicly transparent, multi-coin Scrypt treasury with disclosed wallet addresses. It's a small, young outfit with no major press coverage yet, so treat it as something to watch, not proof that institutions are flooding in. Still, the direction things are heading is worth paying attention to.

TL;DR

Litecoin itself isn't the hero of this post. It's the foundation that, through merged mining, props up an entire ecosystem of Scrypt coins: DOGE as the biggest and most recognizable, alongside smaller projects like Dingocoin, Bellscoin, Luckycoin, Junkcoin, TrumPOW, and Shibacoin, each backed by real hashrate, not just a token.

I'm personally focused on r/Pepecoin ($PEP), its own PoW blockchain, not a token riding on someone else's chain, merge-mined alongside LTC and DOGE, inheriting that network's security from block one. Full disclosure: I hold PEP and I'm involved in the community, so factor that bias in. The stronger Litecoin gets, the stronger the whole Scrypt ecosystem gets, and that directly feeds the security and visibility of projects like PEP. I'm not telling anyone to buy LTC or PEP. I'm telling you to understand the mechanism, because the more people who get it, the healthier this whole corner of the market becomes. Patience, and actually understanding what you're holding, is the only thing that matters here.

Already read the subscriber-count announcement — this isn't about that. Different question below about the category ranking badge specifically."

Gm admins,

Following up on the recent "Evolving Moderation on Reddit: Reshaping Boundaries" post — you mentioned you're moving away from subscribers as the measure of community size or popularity, in favor of weekly visitors/contributions. Makes sense, and I'm curious how far that change has actually rolled out.

I mod r/pepecoin, and the "Top X in [Category]" badge on the community info card doesn't seem to reflect that shift yet. r/pepecoin currently shows a "Top 100 in Crypto" tag with ~2.7k weekly visitors and ~1.5k weekly contributions, while another crypto sub ranks #8 in the same category with roughly 2.1k weekly visitors and only 5 contributions per week. That's a big activity gap for a much higher rank, which points to the category badge still being calculated off legacy subscriber totals rather than the newer engagement metrics you're now surfacing everywhere else.

So, a couple of questions:

Is the category ranking badge still subscriber-based, or does it already factor in visitors/contributions?

If it's still legacy, is updating it part of the same effort described in the moderation post, or a separate system on its own timeline?

Not trying to gripe about the mechanic — just trying to understand what we're actually being measured against, especially given the stated direction toward activity-based metrics. Appreciate any clarity you can give here.

It's Free Pepe Friday!

Just comment with your Pepecoin address and we'll send you some Pepecoin!!

Reminder: All Pepecoin addresses start with the letter P.

Same 100x but very different amount of money required.

So if the math is this simple, question is:

Are you already in $PEP ?

*NFA and obviously nobody is promising a 100x here.

But just for fun, take a look at how many crypto projects have reached a $1B market cap at least once.

Now compare that with how many have ever reached $150B.

I'm just saying... 👀

View Poll

I've been seeing quite a few discussions lately where Pepecoin, $PEP, $PEPE and even $PEPECOIN seem to get mixed together, so I thought it would be interesting to see how much people actually know about what Pepecoin is.

For anyone who isn't familiar with it, Pepecoin is a standalone Proof-of-Work blockchain. $PEP is mineable and uses AuxPoW, allowing it to be merge-mined alongside Litecoin and Dogecoin. It isn't an Ethereum token and doesn't have the 420 trillion supply associated with $PEPE.

But I'm curious how well the community actually knows this, especially people who joined the sub recently.

So here's a simple poll. No judgment, I'm genuinely interested in the results.

TL;DR

We love miners 🐸

The answer:

Litecoin and Dogecoin miners can also secure $PEP, using the same hashrate.

Merge mining sounds complicated, but the idea is pretty simple once you break it down.

Normally, mining two different coins means running two separate setups — your hashing power on one chain doesn't help the other. Merge mining changes that: a miner can secure more than one blockchain at the same time with the same computational work, as long as the chains use compatible algorithms and support the mechanism.

The technical name is AuxPow (Auxiliary Proof-of-Work) — pioneered by Bitcoin and Namecoin back in 2011, and used by Dogecoin together with Litecoin since 2014. So this isn't new or experimental — it's a well-established, battle-tested setup.

For Pepecoin specifically: mining pools that already support Litecoin and Dogecoin can add Pepecoin as an additional chain to secure, without extra hardware or splitting hashrate three ways. As more pools enable Pepecoin alongside Litecoin and Dogecoin, the hashrate securing the Pepecoin network grows right along with two of the most established Proof-of-Work chains around.

Why it matters for a smaller chain like Pepecoin?

A brand-new blockchain starting from zero hashrate is vulnerable — it just doesn't have enough miners yet. By merge mining with Litecoin and Dogecoin, Pepecoin borrows security from two much bigger, established networks from day one, instead of trying to bootstrap that security alone.

I think I'll start posting simple polls from time to time for frens who are here but still think they own one of the Pepe tokens.

Let's start with an easy one:

How many Pepe blockchains are there?

The answer: just one.

There's exactly one blockchain built specifically for Pepe — Pepecoin ($PEP).

Everything else you'll find with "Pepe" in the name is a token, not a coin — meaning it runs on someone else's blockchain (usually Ethereum) rather than having its own.

Coin vs. token — why it matters ?

A coin has its own independent blockchain, its own miners/validators securing it, and its own rules. A token is a contract deployed on top of another chain — it depends entirely on that chain's infrastructure, fees, and rules, and it usually gives the contract owner some level of control over the token (transfer restrictions, blacklisting, minting, etc.) that a coin's holders don't have to worry about.

What's actually out there under "Pepe":

PEPE (Ethereum) — an ERC-20 token. Its smart contract has an owner-controlled blacklist function that has been used at least once to freeze a wallet holding ~$850K worth of tokens.

Pepecoin 2016 / Memetic — the original 2016 project, which moved from Proof-of-Work to Proof-of-Stake in 2018 due to low hashrate and 51% attack risk, and whose "Pepe" branding later ended up on Ethereum as a separate token.

Various BSC/Solana "pepecoin" tokens — smaller, unrelated tokens riding the same name.

Pepecoin (PEP) — the only one of these that's an actual Layer 1 blockchain secured through merge mining with Litecoin and Dogecoin (via AuxPow), meaning LTC/DOGE mining pools can secure the PEP network at the same time, at no extra hardware cost. It launched with no premine, no VC allocation, and no ICO — no wallet holds more than 5% of supply.

Being its own chain means no smart contracts — so no DeFi, no programmability the way ETH tokens have. Liquidity is also thinner right now since PEP trades on fewer exchanges than the bigger ETH token. That's the real cost of independence — worth knowing either way.

What do you guys think about the poll idea? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
