PCoin (PCN) β€” an independent RandomX layer-1 you can mine on a CPU. 21M cap, no premine, no ICO.

Mine PCoin solo. Keep the whole block.

One pool currently finds about 75% of PCoin blocks. That is not how an independent chain should look, and we would rather say it than hope nobody checks. Solo mining is the fix, and it is one setting.

πŸ–₯ Windows β€” tick Solo in the tray's Mining-mode panel (fresh install: install.ps1 -Solo)
🐧 Linux β€” leave POOL_URL empty in miner.conf
⛏ Any miner β€” SRBMiner-Multi, algorithm randompcn, pointed at your own node
πŸ“± Android β€” pool-only by design: a phone would wait months for a solo block

What changes: a pool pays a small steady share; solo pays the whole 50 PCN block, then quiet. At ~455 kH/s a 500 H/s desktop averages one block every ~6 days, 1 kH/s every ~3. Averages, not a schedule β€” both are fine, and new installs default to the pool on purpose.

Why it matters: if enough of you mine solo, no single operator β€” us included β€” decides what PCoin's history looks like.

Pool outage resolved β€” nothing for you to do

Between 08:22 and 12:05 UTC the pool found blocks but could not hand them to the node, so those rewards were lost. It is fixed. Blocks are being accepted again β€” chain height 6621.

Why: the pool passed a mined block to the node as a single command-line argument. Linux caps one argument at 131,072 bytes, and blocks have now grown past that, so the hand-off failed before the node saw it. A latent bug, tripped by an ordinary block of consolidation transactions.

Cost: 17 block rewards destroyed β€” 9 today, 8 in two earlier episodes nobody spotted. 51 miners hashed through today's stall and were paid nothing for it. That was our server, not your setup, and I am sorry.

You need to do nothing. Miner software is unaffected: no update, no reconfiguration. Shares and payouts continue as normal.

Fixed by passing blocks over stdin, which has no size limit β€” plus a new watcher that checks every 5 minutes that the pool can still submit.
🌐 WebAI now takes PCN

WebAI puts Claude AI right inside your browser. Open the side panel on any page and it can:

πŸ“„ Read the page you're on β€” summarise it, explain it, answer questions about it
πŸ–± Click, navigate, fill in forms and pull out data for you
πŸ—‚ Keep a separate chat going in every tab
🧠 Switch between Claude Opus, Sonnet and Haiku whenever you like

No subscription. You pay only for what you use, and your balance never expires.

πŸ’œ And now you can top up with PCN.

Sign in at webai.pc.am/deposit and you get one permanent address that stays yours. Send coins whenever you like β€” your balance rises on its own once the network confirms, about 30 minutes. Minimum 1 PCN.

⛏ Freshly mined coins have to mature first, so those take about 17 hours. That's the chain's rule, not ours.

You're credited at the published rate the moment it confirms, and that rate is saved on your transaction.

If you mine PCN, here's somewhere to spend it: your own AI work, paid for by your CPU. πŸ”₯

🟠 PCN is spendable today

PCoin is not a coin waiting for somewhere to be useful. Live products accept it right now, and credit your account automatically.

🌐 *WebAI* β€” an AI assistant inside your browser. Reads the page you are on, works across tabs, fills forms. Install it from the Chrome Web Store.

πŸ–₯️ *AI Control* β€” remote control and automation for your devices.

πŸ€– *@MyWebsiteBuilderBot* β€” tell it what you want, it builds you a website.

Each one gives you a deposit address that only ever credits your account. It waits 3 confirmations β€” about half an hour β€” then converts at the rate published openly at price.pc.am, stamped on your receipt so you can check it yourself.

No sign-up fee. No minimum. Mine PCN on a phone or a PC, then spend it.

wPCN now pays for things.

Four PCoin services take wPCN directly, and paying in wPCN credits 10% more than the same value in PCN:

πŸ”Ή checker.pc.am β€” gift-card balance checker
πŸ”Ή @MyWebsiteBuilderBot β€” AI website builder, inside Telegram
πŸ”Ή aicontrol.pc.am β€” Claude agent for Windows & Android
πŸ”Ή webai.pc.am β€” AI assistant for any web page

Send wPCN, paste the transaction hash, and your balance moves after 15 confirmations. The rate is stamped at the moment you pay, so it cannot drift while you wait, and one hash credits once.

Get wPCN on PancakeSwap, or wrap PCN at wrapdesk.pc.am. The pool is still small, so trade in sensible size β€” it deepens as more people arrive.

PCN is capped at 21 million and anyone with a CPU can mine it. Mine it, earn it, spend it.

πŸ’¬ PCoin Chat is open

A place to ask questions, report bugs and talk to other miners β€” instead of everything going one way through a channel nobody can reply in.

πŸ‘‰ t.me/PCoinPCNChat

It is the discussion group for this channel, so you can also just tap Comments under any post and you are already there.

House rules, kept short:
β€’ 30-second slow mode, so nobody can flood it
β€’ Members cannot add other people β€” no mass-adding
β€’ Bug reports very welcome, with a screenshot if you have one

We read it. If something on the wrap desk, the market, the miner or the wallet is broken, this is the fastest way to tell us.

πŸ“± PCoin now opens inside Telegram

Open @PCoinPCNBot and tap the menu button. No install, no APK, nothing to set up.

What is in it today:
β€’ The live rate PCoin services credit PCN at
β€’ Blocks, coins mined, difficulty, how many addresses hold PCN
β€’ Paste or scan any address and see its balance and history
β€’ The wrap desk, the market and PancakeSwap in one place

It holds no keys and it cannot spend anything β€” it is a window on the chain, not a wallet. Your coins stay where they are.

Also new: t.me/PCoinPCNChat, the discussion group, where you can ask questions and report anything broken.

πŸͺ™ You can buy wPCN in one tap

πŸ‘‰ BUY wPCN β€” pc.am/buy

That page opens PancakeSwap with both sides already set, and shows the one warning worth reading first. It is also on the first screen of the PCoin mini app β€” open @PCoinPCNBot and tap the menu.

wPCN is PCN on BNB Smart Chain, backed one-for-one by PCN in a public reserve anyone can inspect. It is the only open market PCN has.

Read this before you buy:
β€’ The pool is small β€” about $1,300 in total
β€’ A $10 trade moves the price a few percent; $100 moves it by roughly a third
β€’ Buy small amounts, and check the rate you are actually quoted
β€’ You cannot find wPCN by searching PancakeSwap β€” it is on no token list yet. Use the link above, or paste the contract and check it character by character

πŸ’¬ The chat is quiet β€” come and use it

πŸ‘‰ t.me/PCoinPCNChat

It is already being used for real things. Someone asked today how to update the Windows miner without losing the wallet built into it, and whether it was safe β€” a fair worry. The answer, if it is useful to you too: your recovery phrase lives in a separate file the installer never touches, so an in-place update keeps it. Only installing into a different folder loses it.

Ask anything there β€” mining setup, the wallet, the wrap desk, or something that looks broken. You can also just tap Comments under any post here and you are in.
