Peppercoin is a new approach to an old challenge: how to make small value
transactions—micropayments—feasible. There is a whole world of digital
content gathering dust because owners cannot find a profitable way to get
it into the hands of paying customers.
Merchants can profitably sell content or services at very low price points,
which would be unprofitable with traditional payment methods.
Consumers can purchase small-value items easily; PepperCoins are "digital
pocket change" for music, games, and other downloads.
Through a cryptographically secure process of sampling digital payments,
Peppercoin reduces the volume of transactions processed by a third-party
payment processor or financial institution. Peppercoin utilizes the most
robust and secure digital encryption technologies, based on RSA digital
signatures, to process and protect payments.
Peppercoin's innovative technology is protected by worldwide patent
applications.
