03 PLSR Acquisition - Pulsar-Coin/Pulsar-Coin-Cryptocurrency GitHub Wiki
Secures the PLSR Blockchain
Warning
- Mining on the same computer system that also hosts the Pulsar wallet decreases the wallet's PoS performance.
In emission Proof-of-Work ("PoW") mining, both CPU mining using the MinotaurX algorithm and GPU mining using the Curvehash algorithm secure transactions on the PLSR blockchain by participating in the consensus mechanism of the network. Miners, whether using CPUs or GPUs, validate and confirm transactions by solving complex mathematical puzzles, ensuring their legitimacy. These puzzles require significant computational power to solve, which acts as a barrier against fraudulent transactions. Once a miner successfully solves a puzzle, they create a new block containing verified transactions and add it to the blockchain. The decentralized nature of mining, whether CPU or GPU-based, ensures that no single entity can control the transaction verification process, thereby enhancing the security and integrity of the blockchain network.
Note
- Each pool publishes their own connection requirements, such as port number and password.
A mining pool is a collaborative effort among multiple cryptocurrency miners to combine their computing power and increase their chances of successfully mining blocks. By pooling resources in shared mining, miners can collectively solve complex mathematical problems faster, leading to more consistent rewards. When a mining pool successfully mines a block, the rewards are distributed among participants in shared mining based on their contributed computational power. This method helps reduce the variance in rewards compared to solo mining and provides smaller miners with a more predictable income stream. Ultimately, mining pools make the mining process more efficient and accessible to a wider range of participants.

📈 Enhances PLSR's trading volume and price on exchanges
💰 Miners stand to earn more PLSR when compared to Emission Mining
Warning
- Mining on the same computer system that also hosts the Pulsar wallet decreases the wallet's PoS performance.
Investment mining involves miners directing their hashing power towards an auto-exchange pool, where they become PLSR exchange buyers. By doing so, miners can potentially earn rewards beyond those allocated in emission mining. Within the auto-exchange pool, miners mine alternative cryptocurrencies, such as coins involving the Ghostrider algorithm, which are automatically sold for USDT on an exchange. The acquired USDT is then used to execute buy orders for PLSR, stimulating PLSR's price dynamics, generating public interest in PLSR, and increasing trade volume for PLSR. Miners receive their PoW mining rewards in PLSR, as the pool actively fulfills exchange-listed buy orders for PLSR. More miners contributing to the investment mining pools lead to better returns and higher Pulsar Coin prices, benefiting the entire community of PLSR investors.
Note
- Not all auto-exchange pools support PLSR's trade activity on listed exchanges. For example, some popular auto-exchange pools exchange coins INTERNALLY, meaning that the pool waits to collect enough coin from miners BEFORE conducting an internal swap BETWEEN MINERS within the pool itself. No transactions are performed outside of these pools. Investment pools, on the other hand, sell mined coins on a supported exchange for USDT and then use the resulting USDT to purchase PLSR also listed on the public exchange.

Larger staking balances increase PoS reward frequency in both the PLSR Desktop Wallet and in the PLSR Discord Wallet.
Proof-of-Stake ("PoS") is a consensus mechanism used to authenticate transactions. In PoS, validators are chosen to create new blocks and verify transactions based on the amount of cryptocurrency they hold and are willing to "stake" or lock up as collateral. Validators are selected to create blocks in a deterministic manner, usually based on factors like the amount of cryptocurrency they hold and how long it has been staked. Unlike Proof-of-Work (PoW), which relies on computational power, PoS is more energy-efficient as it doesn't require massive amounts of computing power to secure the network.
Wallet Encryption + Balance are necessary conditions for PoS eligibility in the PLSR Desktop Wallet.
- As of April 2024, a daily average of 45 PLSR is earned per 87,000 - 100,000 PLSR staked in the wallet.

Because the PLSR Discord Wallet uses Discord as its "frontend," the process of staking in the PLSR Discord Wallet will be different than staking in the PLSR Desktop wallet. It is important to keep in mind that the PLSR Discord wallet allows staking a balance >= 100 PLSR, meaning that a user must accumulate a working balance of >= 100 PLSR in their Discord wallet address from emission mining, investment mining, exchange purchases, or from user-to-user transactions before the Discord Wallet allows staking to take place.
Important
- Earning staking rewards in the Discord PLSR Wallet first requires a PLSR address created through the Pulsar Discord interface.
- Sending commands to the PLSR Discord wallet must occur in the #wallets channel after executing the
/plsr-gui
command. - Users of the PLSR Discord Wallet must use 2FA and must verify their identity by phone before sending commands in the channel.
Important
- Clicking on the
Balance
button reveals: (a.) the working balance, (b.) the stake balance, and (c.) the exchange balance. - The Pulsar Bot will post this information in the channel as a message that only the user can see.
Important
- Clicking on the
Stake
button will darken the screen background as a Stake prompt window appears in the foreground. - Users may choose to stake any working balance >= 100 PLSR.
- Click the
Submit
button to continue.
Important
- The Pulsar Bot will post the amount added to the stake balance as a confirmation message that only the user can see.
Important
- Clicking on the
Balance
button again will show the updated working balance and the updated staking balance.

Proof-of-Service ("PoSe") is a consensus mechanism used to authenticate transactions. In PoSe, masternodes receive a fixed percentage of daily blockchain emissions in exchange for their effort to secure the Pulsar blockchain. While the PoS rewards mechanism and the PoSe rewards mechanism share some similarities, they are not identical. Both PoS and PoSe leverage PLSR balances to secure the Pulsar Blockchain and both serve as methods of savings within the ecosystem. However, it is important to note that a user cannot simultaneously earn PoS rewards and PoSe rewards using the same balance within the same wallet.

Trading PLSR occurs on exchanges that list "PLSR" as an asset, such as XeggeX. As PLSR grows in popularity, it will be listed on more exchange platforms along with additional trading pairs. The primary and most common trading pair across exchange platforms is PLSR/USDT.
The following example guide is for those who are interested in accumulating PLSR Coin using fiat currency and USDT-TRC20. This example guide assumes that you have successfully created a unique PLSR Address using either the PLSR Discord Wallet or the PLSR Desktop Wallet.
- Sign up for an account with an onboarding exchange that supports fiat bank transfers, such as Coinbase or Kraken.
- Connect your bank account to your onboarding exchange account by following the instructions provided by the onboarding exchange.
- Verify that the onboarding exchange supports both deposits and withdrawals in USDT on various networks, such as USDT-ERC20 (Ethereum), USDT-TRC20 (Tron), and USDT-BEP20 (Binance) to name a few. This ensures maximum compatibility when sending USDT from the onboarding exchange to exchanges offering the PLSR/USDT trading pair.
- Use a bank transfer to buy the amount of USDT you want. If possible, opt for purchasing USDT-TRC20 to benefit from lower transaction fees offered on the Tron Network.
- Some onboarding exchanges, including Kraken, allow purchasing USDT and withdrawing/sending it to a network address of your choice, such as USDT-TRC20.
- Once you have purchased USDT via bank transfer on your chosen onboarding exchange, you can transfer it to another exchange where PLSR/USDT trading pairs are available.
- Note: you must have already created a "deposit" addresses in the next step so that you know the destination address of this USDT-TRC20 withdrawal.
🔎 CLICK HERE TO SEE HOW TO WITHDRAWAL USDT-TRC20 FROM KRAKEN ON THE TRON NETWORK.
- Register for an account on an exchange that offers the PLSR/USDT trading pair, such as XeggeX.
- Obtain your USDT deposit address on Xeggex using the USDT-TRC20 protocol if the onboarding exchange allows sending/withdrawing using the Tron Network.
- Keep in mind that there are various networks that support USDT, such as USDT-TRC20 (Tron), USDT-ERC20 (Ethereum), USDT-BEP20 (Binance), etc. It's crucial that when you transfer USDT from the onboarding exchange to XeggeX, both the sending address and the receiving deposit addresses use the same network to prevent loss of funds.
- Now that you are able to withdrawal USDT-TRC20 from the onboarding exchange to your USDT-TRC20 address on the exchange listing the USDT/PLSR trading pair, execute the send/withdrawal transaction on the onboarding exchange and wait until the destination exchange confirms that the transaction has completed.
🔎 CLICK HERE TO SEE HOW TO CREATE A RECEIVING/DEPOSIT USDT-TRC20 ADDRESS ON XEGGEX.
- On XeggeX, purchase PLSR using USDT either through a "Limit Order," "Market Order," or "Trigger Order."
- A cryptocurrency limit order is a type of trade order placed by an investor to buy or sell a digital asset at a specified price or better. It only executes if the market reaches the designated price, ensuring the trade occurs at the desired price point.
- A cryptocurrency market order is a trade order placed by an investor to buy or sell a digital asset at the current market price. It executes immediately at the best available price, regardless of any price fluctuations.
- A cryptocurrency trigger order is a conditional trade order placed by an investor to buy or sell a digital asset once a specific price point is reached. Once the trigger condition is met, the order is automatically executed at the current market price.

Important
- Do not use your exchange wallet address as your personal and working address;
- An address on an exchange is for temporary use only;
- PLSR Coin on the exchange will not earn PoS rewards;
- Transfer your accumulated PLSR from the exchange to your personal wallet address as soon as possible.
- PLSR purchased on the exchanged will be remain in the user's PLSR address on the exchange until the user initiates a transfer from the exchange to their own wallet address running in the PLSR Discord wallet or in the PLSR Desktop wallet.
🔎 CLICK HERE TO SEE HOW TO WITHDRAWAL PLSR FROM XEGGEX TO PLSR DESKTOP/DISCORD ADDRESS.
The Discord wallet enables users to transaction PLSR Coins among one another in an easy manner because Discord participants do not need to reveal their PLSR Discord wallet addresss in order to receive PLSR Coins during Discord events.
