Primecoin is an altcoin which uses prime-searching as its proof-of-work. It is the first energy-multiuse altcoin - normally, the proof-of-work algorithms in altcoins are useful only for the coin itself, but the Primecoin algorithm is very useful to mathematical research..

|
|
Primecoin is an innovative cryptocurrency, a form of digital
|
|
currency secured by cryptography and issued through a
|
|
decentralized mining market. Derived from Satoshi Nakamoto's
|
|
Bitcoin, Primecoin introduces an unique form of proof-of-work
|
|
based on prime numbers.
|
|
|
|
The innovative prime proof-of-work in Primecoin not only
|
|
provides security and minting to the network, but also generates
|
|
a special form of prime number chains of interest to mathematical
|
|
research. Thus primecoin network is energy-multiuse, compared to
|
|
bitcoin.
