The coin
| Name / ticker | PCoin / PCN |
| What it is | An independent Layer-1 blockchain: its own genesis, network and UTXO set. A fork of Bitcoin Core v29.4 with RandomX proof-of-work and LWMA difficulty. Not a token on any other chain. |
| Proof-of-work | RandomX, fixed key PCoin/RandomX/v1, light mode (~256 MiB). Hashed: the 80-byte block header. Miner names: randompcn (SRBMiner-Multi ≥ 3.5.6), rx/pcoin (stratum algo field). Block ids are still double-SHA256; only the PoW hash is RandomX. |
| Block time / reward | 600 s target · 50 PCN per block · halving every 210,000 blocks · 21,000,000 cap · coinbase maturity 100 blocks |
| Difficulty | LWMA (N=60), retargets every block, since height 2800. Before that, Bitcoin's 2016-block retarget. |
| Genesis | a95d51f0cbf25cad10c35961c6189356525d079835f02e83e2395f382fbe264atimestamp 1785600628 (2026-08-01 UTC) |
| Ports | P2P 9444 · RPC 9443 (loopback only on our nodes) · network magic cf a2 d1 b8 |
| Addresses | bech32 pc1q… (SegWit v0), base58 P2PKH prefix 55, P2SH prefix 56 · BIP44 coin type 9444 · derivation m/84'/9444'/0' |
| Explorer | explorer.pc.am (and explorer3.pc.am, an independent second index on another host) |

Network data — live
One call, no key, CORS open. Height, difficulty, supply and the block timestamp come straight from the index; index.stale is true when the index is behind the node, so a reader can refuse stale numbers instead of trusting them.
GET https://explorer.pc.am/api/status

Network hashrate (and the same difficulty/height) from the pool API, MiningCore-shaped:

Blocks and transactions: /api/block/<height|hash>, /api/tx/<txid>, /api/address/<addr>, /api/blocks. Raw node REST (read-only, no wallet): https://explorer.pc.am/rest/chaininfo.json, /rest/block/…, /rest/tx/…. Full reference at docs.pc.am.
Pools
| pool | stratum | fee / payout | stats API |
|---|---|---|---|
| pool.pc.am (ours) | pool.pc.am:3333 | 2% · PPLNS, paid in the coinbase | pool.pc.am/api/pools/pcoin |
| pool2.pc.am (ours, separate server) | pool2.pc.am:3333 | 2% · PPLNS | pool2.pc.am/api/pools/pcoin |

Protocol: Monero-style stratum over raw TCP (login / job / submit / keepalived), no TLS, no registration; the payout address is the login. Solo mining needs no pool: the node ships a built-in miner (startmining). Miner integration notes: MINER-INTEGRATION.md.

exchange.pc.am is a PCN/USDT limit-order book run by the project. Its public feed follows the CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko exchange specifications; every path also answers under /api/v1/….

Read the disclosure field. The house bots' fills are counted in volume and excluded from last_price; the feed says so on every response rather than leaving it to be discovered. The market is young and thin. price.pc.am is the project's reference rate used by its own services — it is not a traded price and should not be quoted as one. wPCN, a 1:1 wrapped form on BNB Smart Chain, trades on PancakeSwap (wPCN/USDT).
