About Pigeoncoin

Pigeoncoin launched in 2018 as a proof-of-work cryptocurrency with a focus on accessibility and decentralisation. The project originally used the X16S algorithm before forking to X21S, which remains the algorithm on mainnet today.

Over the years, as market conditions shifted and contributors moved on, the project entered a period of dormancy, but the blockchain kept running. Blocks continued to be mined, and the network stayed alive.

Now, in 2026, a group of community members is stepping forward to relaunch Pigeoncoin with a bold new vision: integrating Nostr into a masternode platform. The plan is for every masternode to run a Nostr relay, creating the infrastructure for a truly decentralised social network, one that no single entity can censor or control.

The goal is to honour Pigeoncoin's roots as a community-driven project while giving it real-world utility that goes beyond currency.
