Despite the name, PepePow is not a proof of work coin, since it uses proof of stake and gives 35% of all of its block rewards to stakers. Pepecoin is and will always be a pure PoW coin. There will never be a compromise on this. Also, Pepecoin uses the scrypt algorithm with support for merged mining (which activates at block 100,000). This means Pepecoin will take advantage of the nearly 1PH/s of hashrate securing the Litecoin and Dogecoin networks. When someone mines Litecoin or Dogecoin, they will also be mining Pepecoin. This will ensure that Pepecoin's network is secure forever.
