Main network β€” launched September 2026

Your private bank,
without the bank.

Privacy Bank Chain is a private, hybrid post-quantum digital currency: interest-bearing term deposits, a bond marketplace, on-chain inheritance β€” all CPU-mineable, permissionless.

Protocol

What PBC does for you

A complete protocol built for private savings β€” not just another Monero copy.

πŸ”

Native privacy

Monero heritage: ring signatures, stealth addresses, hidden amounts. No one can trace your funds or your balance.

βš›οΈ

Hybrid post-quantum

Hybrid layer (Dilithium + Kyber, liboqs): mandatory post-quantum co-signature on public spend-authority operations (deposit withdrawals, market payouts) β€” breaking Ed25519 alone is no longer enough.

🏦

Interest-bearing term deposits

Lock PBC, earn interest paid by the protocol. Claim and withdraw anytime from the wallet.

πŸ›’

Bond marketplace

Need liquidity before maturity? Resell your deposit on the built-in marketplace, with no intermediary.

πŸ•ŠοΈ

On-chain inheritance

Designate an heir directly on the chain. Your PBC outlives you β€” no notary, no trusted third party.

⛏️

Fair mining

RandomX V2 (rx/pbc): a plain CPU is enough. Rewards unlock in tiers (24 h / 30 / 60 / 90 days) β€” protocol vesting.

Yield

How much can your PBC earn?

A simple, honest mechanism: a fixed pie β€” 6% of every block + 50% of network fees β€” is shared between depositors, in proportion to each deposit's amount and duration. The fewer depositors, the bigger each share.

Three scenarios for the same deposit of 10,000 PBC over 365 days (Γ—2.0 multiplier) β€” from steady state to launch phase:

ScenarioDepositorsGains / yearYield
Mature β€” steady state~2,000~1,110 PBC~11%
Growth~500~3,520 PBC~35%
Early Bird β€” launch phase~50~28,610 PBC~286%

And on the mining side: 1 Γ— Ryzen 9 9950X (~23 KH/s) on a 15 MH/s network β‰ˆ ~8.8 PBC / day (~265 PBC / month) β€” plus half of the network fees. If difficulty doubles, revenue per machine is halved.

⚠️ Simulations β€” not a yield promise. Figures computed on 2026-08-14 from the v8.2.11 protocol parameters. Actual yield depends on the number of depositors and network activity; the protocol guarantees no fixed rate (whitepaper Β§4.1). Gains expressed in PBC, excluding price movement. Full details and assumptions in the marketing presentation.

πŸ“± GUI wallets β€” all-in-one app (node & wallet) (v1.0.17)

After downloading your GUI app: follow the quick-start guide.

privbank / pbc-wallet-app βŽ‡ main Β· v1.0.17
node + wallet + graphical interface β€” latest build: 2026-09-08
πŸ› οΈ v1.0.17 β€” mempool anti-duplicate protections: duplicated protocol transactions (marketplace payout claims Γ—72, 09/08 incident) poisoned block templates β†’ invalid blocks and chained orphans. Three anti-duplicate guards added to the daemon (marketplace payouts, deposit transfers, inheritance cancels) + claim_market_payout RPC idempotence. No consensus change, no database migration. Interface identical to 1.0.16. Recommended for everyone, a must for pool operators.

πŸ›‘οΈ Antivirus false positive (Windows): pbcminer is based on XMRIG β€” like XMRIG, it will very likely be flagged by your Windows antivirus as a "miner". This is a classic false positive: it IS a miner, and that is exactly its purpose. If in doubt, take the source code above and compile it yourself (see the compilation guide).
βš™οΈ Configure and start the miner in 3 steps β€” full walkthrough in the quick-start guide:
  1. In config.json, field "url": IP of the machine running your node (the GUI wallet machine or the node) + port 18831 β€” e.g. "192.168.1.20:18831" (same machine: keep 127.0.0.1:18831).
  2. Field "user": your address Pbc… (where the rewards go).
  3. Run: chmod +x pbcminer_v2_linux_x86_64 && sudo ./pbcminer_v2_linux_x86_64 --config config.json -t $(($(nproc) - 2)) (sudo recommended: huge pages = much better performance).

FAQ

"Is it really safe?"

The three questions everyone asks β€” straight answers.

πŸ›‘οΈ

"My antivirus blocks the miner!"

That's a classic false positive: pbcminer is based on XMRIG, so it gets flagged just like it. It IS a miner β€” that is exactly its purpose. And if you have any doubt: the source code is published, build it yourself.

πŸ”‘

"What if I lose my PC?"

Your PBC doesn't live on your PC but on the chain. The 25-word recovery phrase, written down when you create the wallet, restores everything on any machine. Without it, no one can recover anything β€” keep it safe, offline.

🌐

"Who controls the network?"

No one. No company, no foundation: the protocol runs on the users' machines and the full source code is published β€” everything is auditable. Your funds can be neither frozen nor seized by any third party.
