There are 2 ways.

You can buy peercoin from an exchange, send it to a Peercoin wallet, and wait 30 days for your coin to mature. Now the minter will try to mint new Peercoins for you based on how much stake you have (coinage which is number of coins you have, plus how old they are)

Second way, is to mine Peercoin through proof-of-work (pow) with an SHA256 miner. They chose this route to ensure fair distribution of coins which has been going on since 2012

For more info there is lots on these subjects at https://talk.peercoin.net where you can get the most help.

Good points in this article. Interesting to see I'm not the only one that is thinking about this. Buy low, sell high, it seems so simple but most investors still don't seem to get it :-) I found this great website: https://www.coincheckup.com This site did all the research for you. It's truly amazing. Check: https://www.coincheckup.com/coins/Peercoin#analysis For the Peercoin Indepth analysis
