Not so different from your everyday orientation of a screensaver, the pascal coin screensaver keeps your computer screen alive and colorful while mining continues in the background. The screensaver shows a dot at the mapped coordinates of nonces mined. In cryptography, nonces are used to vary the inputs to a cryptographic hash function so as to obtain a hash for a certain input that fulfils certain arbitrary conditions.



The mining process puts up ambiguous codes on the screen Source:github -image provided by developer

To mine Pascal coin, the RHMiner is required to find a nonce that delivers a desirable hash,the first miner to find this nonce is awarded pascal coin. To find a valid nonce, the RHMiner tries numbers that comes from previous round of RandomHash. The screensaver displays the results of the RandomHash colorfully on the screen using nonce graphics.

The nonce graphics have five display modes:

These graphics provides a better looking display while mining.
