Scraped on 19/05/2025, 13:32:34 UTC
PURN possesses a devoted research and development group comprising experts from various reputable DLT projects. Their arduous efforts are aimed at creating novel functionalities, scalable solutions, and superior optimizations. Transitioning from Blake2b to Blake 3 showcases a remarkable acceleration in performance, efficiency, and serves as a deterrent against ASIC miners overpowering the network, thereby fostering opportunities for decentralized mining. Moreover, PURN will incorporate an unparalleled smart contract architecture and introduce PAIW, an innovative union of AI algorithms with Proof of Work mechanism.BLOCK EXPLORERhttps://explorer.purn.io/ (coming soon)

HOW TO MINEstep 1get the binaries or build from sources
https://github.com/PURN-NETWORK/PURN/releases/tag/1.0.0 (check releases)
step2run and sync a node
./purnd --utxoindex
step3when the node is synced create a wallet
./purnwallet create
note your seed phrase
./purnwallet dump-unencrypted-data
step4run the wallet daemon (in a dedicated shell)
./purnt start-daemon
and request an address
./purnwallet new-address
step5start mining
./purnminer --miningaddr=purn:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
for gpu mining - get the miner on github
https://github.com/PURN-NETWORK/PURN/releases/ (From wallet)
./purn-miner --mining-address purn:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
