Primecoin is a cryptocurrency that uses prime number chains as its proof-of-work algorithm, offering an alternative to traditional mining methods like Bitcoin’s SHA-256. Launched in 2013 by cryptocurrency researcher Sunny King, Primecoin aims to provide more computationally useful mining by generating large prime numbers, which have applications in number theory and cryptography. Its focus on prime numbers sets it apart from other cryptocurrencies, and it also offers faster transaction processing times compared to Bitcoin.
