As part of the celebration, Peershot LLC will match the amount of Peercoin mined through the Peermining.org pool on March 17 and contribute the equivalent donation to the Peercoin Foundation
SAN MATEO, California â March 10, 2026 â Peershot LLC today announced a special St. Patrickâs Day partnership with Peermining.org to support the continued development and growth of the Peercoin ecosystem. As part of the celebration, Peershot will sponsor a one-day matching donation to the Peercoin Foundation based on the mining poolâs total rewards generated on Tuesday, March 17, 2026.
The campaign is designed to encourage community participation in Peercoin mining while generating additional funding for ongoing development, education, and ecosystem initiatives.
âBy matching the dayâs mining totals, we hope that good fortuneâand strong hash powerâwill translate into a meaningful boost for the Peercoin Foundation and the broader ecosystem,â said Kan Devnani, co-founder of Peershot LLC.
Participants can join the mining pool at Peermining.org before or during the March 17 event using a wide range of SHA-256 compatible mining hardware. This includes tabletop miners such as Bitaxe, Lotto Miner, and Lucky Miner, as well as professional ASIC equipment like Bitmain Antminer, MicroBT WhatsMiner, and Canaan Avalon.
âMining has always played an important role in distributing Peercoin and bringing new participants into the network,â added Mark Phillips, CTO of Peershot LLC. âWe hope this St. Patrickâs Day event encourages new and existing miners to join in and contribute to the future of the Peercoin ecosystem.â
Peermining.org, a mining pool service dedicated exclusively to Peercoin, enables miners to combine SHA-256 hash power to discover blocks more efficiently while sharing rewards proportionally. Peermining.org has a stated commitment to contribute its 2% mining fees to the Peercoin Foundation.
Peercoin itself is notable as the original innovator of proof-of-stake and operates using a hybrid consensus model that combines proof-of-work mining for distribution with proof-of-stake minting to help secure the network.
Funds donated to the Peercoin Foundation help support development efforts, community outreach, and initiatives that strengthen one of the longest-running blockchain networks in operation.
Celebrated annually on March 17th, St. Patrick’s Day is a cultural and religious holiday honoring St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. Originally a Roman Catholic feast day, it has evolved into a worldwide celebration of Irish culture, featuring parades, wearing green, and festive meals.
âWe look forward to bringing the community together in the spirit of goodwill and a little of the luck of the Irish,â added Wing Yu, spokesperson for the Peercoin Foundation.
