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' |

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. The response below is an example snapshot from 19 September 2026 (height 8603), not current figures.
GET https://explorer.pc.am/api/status

Network hashrate (and the same difficulty/height) from the pool API, MiningCore-shaped — again an example snapshot from the same moment, not current figures:

Pools

| pool.pc.am (ours) | pool.pc.am:3333 | 2% · PPLNS, paid in the coinbase | pool.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 real executed trades and are counted in volume, last_price and the 24-hour high, low and change (they never count toward the PCN index); a day with no trade reports high = low = last_price and zero volume. The feed says so on every response rather than leaving it to be discovered. The market is young and thin.
The PCN index — /api/index on the same host, relayed by price.pc.am — is the volume-weighted median of qualifying user-to-user trades on this book. Trades with the house bots or the project's own accounts never count, nor do linked accounts or accounts under three days old; it needs at least 5 trades by 4 different people and $25 in its window (24 h, widening to 72 h and 168 h), moves at most 2% per trade and 5% a day, stays within $0.015–$0.10, and holds its last value when there are no qualifying trades. It is the rate the project's own services credit PCN at and the base of its sale price. Because it is capped and held, it is not a last-trade price: quote last_price as the traded price. wPCN, a 1:1 wrapped form on BNB Smart Chain, trades on PancakeSwap (wPCN/USDT).
