a CPU only proof of work coin, quietly launched
Unofficial, community run thread. I am not the author, just a miner who found it.
▪ How I found itI dig through GitHub for new proof of work projects, running scanners over fresh repos to find real chains instead of yet another token. Plaine turned up. No launch thread, no Twitter, no Telegram, no roadmap, no sale. Just a working node, a wallet, a CPU miner, a spec, and a network that was already making blocks by the time I got there.
Whoever wrote it clearly wants to stay anonymous. No name, no premine wallet to point at, no team page. So a few of us figured, if the author is not going to build a community, we may as well do it ourselves, around the code instead of around a person. That is all this is.
▪ Plaine at a glanceTicker: PLNE
Consensus: CPU proof of work (Isochron v1), built to shut out ASIC and GPU
Reward: 0.2 PLNE per block, flat, forever. No halving.
Supply: no cap, inflation drifts toward zero as the chain keeps growing
Distribution: no premine, no presale, no dev fund. Nobody was paid before you.
Platforms: Linux and Windows, one command each
The bit from the README that sums it up:
Plaine is honest, censorship-free money open to everyone: built to shut out ASIC and GPU so every CPU earns for the real power it brings, with a steady reward that keeps issuance predictable and no supply cap to keep the network secure, while its inflation falls toward zero with every passing day. No premine, no presale, no dev fund.
In tribute to Satoshi Nakamoto, and in the author's own name, Plaine stands for one CPU, one vote.
Nothing promised. Nothing hidden. See for yourself.
▪ The part that hooked meThere is a message signed into the genesis block, permanent, no way to change it:
"We were told the altitude. We never saw the ground."
Read it next to the author handle,
noaltitude. There is a whole quiet idea sitting in there. It reads like a jab at the rest of crypto that promises the moon and ships nothing. This person promised nothing, said nothing, and just started mining. Nothing is hidden, you can read every line of the code, but nobody is trying to sell you anything either. Honestly the mystery is half of why I stuck around.
▪ Start miningAny machine with a CPU. Grab the binaries from the GitHub release or build from source, then:
plaine-noded
plaine-wallet new --role spend --out miner.key --no-passphrase
plaine-miner <your plne1 address>
First line runs a node and finds the network on its own. Second makes an address. Third mines to that address against your own node. Find a block and the reward lands straight in your address. That is the whole flow. All the rules are in SPEC.md if you want to check them yourself.

▪ Pools, come on inAny pool set up for Plaine gets listed here. If you run one, post it in this thread and I will add it to the list below, so miners have one place to find them. Solo mining works fine on its own, a pool just makes things steadier for smaller machines.

▪ About the authorSaying it again so it is clear: I am not them, and I do not own any of this. The GitHub and the website are the author's. The Discord is mine, a place for the community. If the real author ever shows up and wants any of it, I will hand the community side over, the Discord and this thread, all of it, no conditions attached. Until then someone has to keep the lights on for the people who find it and want to mine.
Nothing promised. Nothing hidden. See for yourself.
