Testnet asset layer release v2.0.1 has been released, with Linux, Windows, and OSX binaries! https://github.com/RavenProject/Ravencoin/releases/tag/v2.0.1See more info about the testnet here (including how to run the wallet in testnet mode): https://raven.wiki/wiki/TestnetReport any issues or bugs you find here: https://github.com/RavenProject/Ravencoin/issuesFAQ: Q: Do I need to update my wallet? A: You only need to update your wallet if you plan on trying out the testnet asset layer. The wallet will work for the mainnet as well. Q: What is a testnet? A: A testnet is a completely separate blockchain from the main Ravencoin chain. It is meant for testing purposes only, and Ravencoins mined or sent on this chain have no value. Q: Why don't I see any asset stuff on the testnet GUI? A: Asset layer will be activated on the testnet using the BIP9 protocol. It will activate when 65% of the mined blocks in a 2016 retargeting period are mined by the new version. Asset layer GUI is hidden until the asset functionality is active. Read more about the process (which will be similar with the mainnet hardfork on October 31) here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RxRokp_P9Iu7eqKdfR7wj2D7bqMwqnd_l3R1yjq633k/ |

Ravencoin was launched on January 3, 2018, as a free, open source platform forked from the Bitcoin codebase. Since that time, Ravencoin has operated as a fully functional network based on the Bitcoin UTXO model. All coins have been fairly mined by a decentralized network of miners using the ASIC-resistant X16r algorithm. Since the launch, developers have been actively working to add additional asset creation functionality to the Ravencoin core wallet client, as contemplated by Phase 2 (asset support) of the Ravencoin roadmap. The Ravencoin community is now able to run the current core Ravencoin client in testnet mode, in order to generate addresses that will be able to receive testnet RVN. On July 30, new asset layer features will be added to the core wallet client for use on Ravencoin’s test network. These features are expected to include additional capabilities that will facilitate the native creation, issuance and transfer of asset tokens. A revised version of the core client software will be made available for download on GitHub. This will allow for rigorous community testing of the native asset layer functionality — including the creation and issuance of testnet assets — in contemplation of the anticipated launch of this functionality on the mainnet in October. This testnet network will be a completely independent secondary blockchain for testing purposes only, in which all tokens will have no intrinsic value and will not be traded on exchanges. The purpose of a testnet is to test features and functionality before introducing those features and functionality to the main blockchain. It is a playground to experiment and test different features with almost no cost to transact or mine blocks. During this testing phase, the Ravencoin blockchain itself will continue to maintain the same operation and functionality it has today. To run your current wallet in testnet mode: 1. First shutdown your current full client wallet. 2. Create a shortcut to your raven-qt.exe with this in the target field: C:\Users\<username>\Path\to\executable\raven-qt.exe" –testnet 3. Open the wallet by clicking on the shortcut you just made, and let the blockchain sync fully Don't worry, this will not interfere with your regular Raven wallet, just make sure both wallets are not running at the same time. For those who are technically inclined, running in testnet mode does not overwrite any of the blockchain data or wallet files of Ravencoin’s main network. Instead, it will create a subfolder named testnet3 inside your data folder where all testnet related data and wallets reside. If you would prefer to err on the side of caution, consider running your testnet wallet on a different computer. There are currently a couple of tools available to assist you with testnet testing. After this testing period, it is anticipated that the community will consider adoption of the new asset-aware code. Activation will occur through the BIP9 consensus mechanism. More information on the activation process can be found here. |

Hey @everyone In preparation for the testnet launch of the Asset layer on July 30th, A TestNet Faucet is now available at https://testnet.ravencoin.networkThis is to facilitate easy experimentation with the asset functionality of Ravencoin Enter you TestNet Wallet address and click submit to recieve 550 testnet RVN! You can withdraw up to 5500 testnet RVN per address, and consider sending back any testnet RVN you don't need to the faucet wallet at mgYNdKcdkC5JqDsWxxrcjCGzTTkr6X3isN so that as many people as possible can test out asset creation and transference. To run your current wallet in testnet mode: Create a shortcut to your raven-qt.exe with this in the target field: "C:\Users\<username>\Path\to\executable\raven-qt.exe" -testnet Don't worry, this wont mess with your regular raven wallet, just make sure they aren't both running at the same time. If you are overly cautious consider running your testnet wallet on a different computer. Again if you appreciate the work that I do, donations in real raven are always appreciated: RD7yadeCvSDs4fCbEPuHstU3GHbiS7ao9q |

Hello ! In preparation for the upcoming assets launch on testnet, I'm happy to announce that the testnet explorer is available now at https://testnet.ravencoin.networkHopefully, this will be a valuable tool for you to use as you experiment with asset transference. If you value these explorer services I develop and run, please considering donating to: RD7yadeCvSDs4fCbEPuHstU3GHbiS7ao9q to ensure their sustainable and continued operation. Thanks and enjoy! |

rvnstats.info died.
seems ok for me but this is not good news for many others except you. I do not know how to react. Temporarily https://ravencoin.network/stats is a decent alternative. |

Hello Everyone! I'm pleased to announce the next release of https://ravencoin.network/It has some new features you will certainly find useful: - Pools Statistics!!!: Detailed pool statistics historically going back to the start of Ravencoin charts that show the share of blocks won by pool, for the last hour, day, and all previous days. NO MORE UNKNOWN HASH mysteriously eating up 40% of the global hashrate!!!! - Network Hashrate: Historical charts to see the performance of Ravencoin's mining community - Node list: Showing all currently connected nodes that are talking to the Block explorer. (very handy for manually adding nodes to your raven.conf) - Expanded API calls: see more at https://github.com/underdarkskies/insight-api/blob/master/README.mdThis project is supported directly through donations from the community.

Excellent, especially as hash4life seems to have died completely.... Again. Looks good and quick too. Hey all I’m the dev of this project, and you can find the main explorer now at https://Ravencoin.network |

I don't think anyone in their right mind would by crypto with paypal, as you can cancel or reverse the payment. also RVN is currently on two exchanges, Crypto-bridge and barterdex. perhaps purchase your raven there!

A new thread was created because the old thread creator (Kai) decided he wasn't going to maintain it anymore. He's moving onto new ventures. So since his account is the only one with access to that announcement, this was the best way forward. The old announcement now links here. I will be updating this thread for the future. At least it's a bit cleaner now since all the miners with issues are over on the old thread  This still makes no sense. He hasn't locked the other thread, he hasn't made it public that this is what he is doing and why, he hasn't categorically stated that this is the reason why. In fact, by doing this, he (and you to a large extent) has made this MORE of a mess than it already is by not doing these things. #crysx you know what doesn't make sense? building a closed source miner for 6 months built on top of GPL code and then never hiring anyone to rewrite the gpl code and then sitting on your miner, never releasing it. But hey! that's just my opinion man, just like you have yours. Well ... That would be true IF it was GPL code you were talking about and NOT closed source private code. Which has nothing to do with what we are discussing here - and as a newbie profile, I assume was to just poke in the ribs. So if it was just your 'opinion' then that is baseless and nothing worth dictating to preach. Base it on facts, and I would establish a rapport and conversation about it. Base it on hearsay and fiction like you obviously have, then I will do the same as I have done now and rebutt only to the extent that you are nothing more than bringer of bad tidings, to do divert the real issue here in THIS thread. You want a REAL cheat when it comes what you have described? Go to the spmod thread and see what you have stated in action CURRENTLY. We have a ccminer fork internally, and DO optimize it, but never release it. That is abiding by the rules of GPL. You should read the license some day, it's enlightening to say the least. Nice try as an attack, but a dismal fail. #crysx Well ... It was just a poke in the ribs. Likewise, it's just your 'opinion' that opening this thread creates MORE of a mess(subjective) and to ascribe any fault or actions of the previous thread owner to this thread is baseless and nothing worth dictating to preach(in your words). Best of luck with your internal ccminer fork and CWIgm Nice try as an attack, but a dismal fail. #under Reminiscent of a user who is on the forums trolling/posting on another profile that is argumentative in every way he can be. So this is the 'new' profile you intend on using mate? Good one. Shows the gutless means that you decide to take. In any case, your attack is moot. OUR code is just that, and we can and will do what we want with it. Period! The GPL code is restricted and governed by the licensing, and 'should' be adhered to buy the rules that govern it. It doesn't always happen that way. Why don't you accuse MicroSoft that their OS is based on opensource software and that they are using it internally, but publishing it also. I'm sure that will go down well. As for the RVN threads. Notice - THREADS! With an 's'. This is the 'mess' that I am talking about. Unlike the use case where a single thread is used by the current owners/developers/users, multiple threads that are used at the same time on the same subject is messy. This not subjective, but factual. It is EASY for the last owner of the thread to have published that post - then lock thread. Explaining that there is a new thread because I have other projects I am working on. Simple. You on the other hand, seem prefer to have multiple threads on the SAME subject, so good for you. The general populace are those that really shouldn't be misled this way, and need to be directed by the DEV TEAM who control this project, as to which is the correct method and direction the community should or should not take. #crysx Stop chasing boogeymen in shadows that don't exist! I'm not your nemesis masquerading in a new account, I'm just a person new to bitcointalk.org I really don't care about your code that much, but man you sure get pretty defensive about it. I was simply making a metaphor about how personal opinions, exclusively your negative one about THIS thread, can be subjective. Furthermore you seem to put a lot effort into prescribing the 'correct' method for establishing ANN threads. I understand that it is your opinion that ANNs "need to be directed by the DEV TEAM..." I would counter that centralizing all communications under a single authority is completely counter intuitive to the nature of decentralized blockchains. I am curious where Bitcoin's ANN thread is? link pls? (joking)(because there isn't one single thread owner for bitcoin) So community communication will get messy sometimes in a truly decentralized project. But this thread is an attempt to clean things up- and your insinuations to the opposite are baseless. No - not that way at all ... I have endured way too many issues with arguments over so many things - regardless of whether you give a damn about our code or not. When someone wants to argue and a point, or accuse of doing what Rune Stensland (sp_ in this forum) is doing like you have done so in the first post, then I will ALWAYS get defensive if no such thing has occurred. So regardless of what your intention is/was, you accused us of something we have no intention of allowing to follow through with. That is why I get defensive, and why I continuously seem to defend our stance. Posts like yours make it necessary. Other than that, opinions are just that, opinions. Metaphor or not (which it clearly was not - it was a false accusation), the fact remains that a single unified thread would cause NO confusion as opposed to multiple threads on the SAME subject matter. Maybe I should say 'active' threads instead of just 'multiple' threads. The 'old' thread is still being used and is current, while this thread is also being used and apparently current. Why is it that the other one can't have a post to say this is the new thread and have it as the last post with the locking of the thread? Too logical to do? Anyway, I guess we will be going around in circles with this as you seem to think there was no accusation and merely a metaphor with what you accused us of in the initial reply post, and you still think that it is all subjective here with two threads on the same subject by supposedly the same people. No worries. Have a great day! #crysx Your accusations about THIS thread "(and you to a large extent) has made this MORE of a mess than it already is by not doing these things" initiated this. I don't understand why you felt the need to sling salt on this thread. I slung some o' that salt back. You do ask a valid question though, "Why is it that the other one can't have a post to say this is the new thread and have it as the last post with the locking of the thread? Too logical to do?" But this valid question should be in the other thread and directed to the thread owner. So moving forward, Best of luck in your endeavors - lets get back to the topic of RVN!! |

roadmap needs deadlines... and about exchanges? payment gateways etc... I think you have some misunderstandings about what kind of project this is. Its not another alt-coin controlled completely by a core development team. I know it seems trite, but you may gain more perspective about this project by joining the discord server. For instance, Dev team has stated their goal for the asset layer fork is October of 2018. Also they have stated that as a dev team their primary objective is coding the platform. Exchanges and payment gateways are a low priority for the Dev Team, but the community has so far organized listing RVN on Cryptobridge and Barterdex. This project is going to be a bit different than the shitcoins some may be used to that have a 3 month lifespan of A)mine B)lackluster POS implementation/masternode C)exit into obscurity |

No sense in reporting this thread mate, this will be the main Ravencoin ANN thread, moving forward. If you would like to learn more, please join us on discord to understand why there has been a migration of the community to new discord servers, and new ANN threads, Also stay tuned to the new Discord and ANN threads for the most up to date information about Ravencoin. Cheers! |
