PamCoin is a Proof-of-Work digital mining reward system designed specifically for ESP32-based hardware. The project combines lightweight hardware mining, a server-validated PAM ledger and a future strategy-game ecosystem.
About PamCoin
PamCoin is an ESP32-focused
Proof-of-Work project. Dedicated ESP32 modules perform
computational work using the PamHashV2
algorithm and submit valid mining results to the
PamCoin server for verification.
When a valid mining result is accepted, the network records a new block and creates the corresponding PAM mining reward. Rewards are subject to the network's confirmation rules before they become available in the wallet balance.
Network Statistics
Current values are loaded directly from the PamCoin network configuration.
PamHashV2 Mining Technology
PamHashV2 is the custom Proof-of-Work
algorithm used by PamCoin's ESP32 miners.
The miner performs repeated hashing operations and
searches for valid work according to the current
network difficulty.
The PamCoin server independently verifies submitted mining results before accepting a block. This allows the server to validate the submitted nonce and reconstructed mining parameters rather than trusting the miner's result alone.
Dynamic Difficulty
PamCoin uses dynamic difficulty adjustment to maintain a target block-production interval as the mining environment changes.
The network evaluates recent block timing and adjusts
the mining difficulty according to the configured
network parameters.
The current network configuration uses an adjustment
interval of
50
blocks and targets approximately
60 seconds
per block.
Wallet & Key Security
PamCoin wallets use a local wallet file,
pamwallet.dat, as part of the wallet
access and backup process.
The wallet file should be treated as sensitive data. Users should keep their wallet file private and maintain secure backups. Losing the required wallet credentials or file may result in loss of access to the associated wallet.
pamwallet.dat file with other people.
Keep wallet backups under your own control.
Transactions & Confirmations
PAM transfers are processed internally between wallet addresses within the PamCoin platform.
Transactions and mining rewards use the network's
confirmation mechanism. The current reward confirmation
requirement is
3 blocks.
- Mining results are validated by the PamCoin server.
- Valid blocks create pending mining rewards.
- Rewards become available after the required confirmation depth.
- PAM transfers are recorded in the platform ledger.
- Block and transaction information can be published through the PamCoin blockchain data interface.
Core Features
- ESP32 Mining: PamCoin mining is designed around dedicated ESP32 hardware.
- PamHashV2: Custom Proof-of-Work designed for the project's ESP32 mining environment.
- Server-side Validation: Submitted mining work is independently verified before block acceptance.
- Dynamic Difficulty: Network difficulty can adjust according to recent block timing.
-
Wallet File:
Wallet access uses the PamCoin wallet system and
pamwallet.dat. - Internal PAM Transfers: Users can transfer PAM between supported wallet addresses within the PamCoin platform.
Project Mission
PamCoin is being developed as an ecosystem that connects low-power ESP32 hardware, Proof-of-Work mining and a future strategy-game layer.
The objective is to create a system where hardware participation is directly connected to the digital resource economy of the project. Mining provides the initial resource layer, while the planned game layer expands the role of PAM into a broader strategic environment.
PamCoin Strategy Game
The planned PamCoin game is designed as a hardware-powered strategy environment. PAM generated through ESP32 mining is intended to function as a resource within the game ecosystem.
Players will be able to develop and upgrade their Pam Vault, manage resources and participate in a strategic environment where infrastructure, resource management and defensive mechanics play an important role.
The game layer is currently under development. Features and mechanics may change as development progresses.
Future Development
PamCoin is an active development project. Future development may include expansion of the game layer, additional ESP32 hardware support, wallet improvements, network tooling and additional ecosystem functionality.
Future functionality should not be interpreted as currently available functionality until it is released and documented by the PamCoin project.
