[ANN] Ravencoin [RVN] PoW GPU Mining | Asset Transfer Blockchain (Updated ANN)

Bye bye x16rv2:

Not Long after the fork of Ravencoin on October 1st, 2019, Altered Silicon has released a public bitstream for X16Rv2. This bitstream works for BCU1525 and can be accessed 👉here. It needs 2 BCU1525 at minimum to run. Hence you will need QSFP cables to connect them.

So we can assume that Ravencoin fork was a big fail ...

Additionaly the original chain of Ravencoin is still alive and mined.

There is even a pool for mining it (icemining) and its called now Ravencoin Classic.

Im stick with the old chain.

of course you can stick with the old chain. especially if you already bought the ASICS. Ravencoin Classic is just another spinoff coin just like pigeon was. That also died quite quickly. Dunno what is the plan with Ravencoin Classic other than keep the asics useful. Didn't see one post about it.

also, just googled Ravencoin classic, found this https://www.coinness.com/news/412858 dunno the truth, dunno any exchanges for it or anything. Any whitepaper for Ravencoin classic?

So ... i feel i must answer few questions:

1. THERE ARE ASICS/FPGA for X16rv2 already. And it is a fact. So the whole antiASIC fork is a joke.

2. Ravencoin Classic is just the old Ravencoin. It hasnt right now its separate bitcointalk thread nor its separate whitepaper.  Ravencoin Classic are people mining the old chain.

3. You said that the only reason why someone keep alive the old chain is to use the x16r ASICS... Maybe ... But at this moment i noticed one thing : I can mine so much ravnecoins on sigle GPU like never before .  In the same time mining RVN on x16rv2 i can get only few a day .  So it clearly says that it was not the ASICs what makes the high hashrate before  the fork...

FPGA's are here, yes - never the goal to stop them. ASICS, not here, but will be soon. And then RVN will go to V3 and, hopefully, that will be a better anti-asic solution. But that road map was discussed prior to V2 being released. V2 was needed as a short-term stop gap to kick ASICs off the chain while a better longer-term solution is developed.

So, nope, not a joke - still on track.

It rather looks like there are FPGA/ASIC that can mine both x16r and x16rv2 ... And after the fork they just switch FPGA/ASIC to x16rv2.

Otherwise why there is so easy to mine x16r and still very hard mining  RAVEN on x16rv2 ? If the FPGA/ASIC were only capable to mine x16r why the hashrate on other x16r coin didn't  skyrocket after RAVEN fork ??

Looks like? So no longer a fact then... Cool. Maybe you should go educate yourself on what it takes to make an ASIC before you talk out your ass. By the way. An ASIC is a chip. You also have to design all the other hardware around it including the circuit board etc.

The ONLY way there could be ASICs currently mining the coin, is if they're happy with the estimated 3.5% they can still mine, or they were so brilliant they could look into the future and lay out the circuitry to be able to take into account how the new algorithm works AND that Tiger would be added in. Would love to see the probability that someone could have done that cause I simply can't see it and I used to design hardware etc.

What "could" happen is that they use some method where you can create ASICs from FPGAs. But you still have to design the board and all the other circuitry around it, prototype and test, and then manufacturer it. All of that takes quite a bit of time.

If the change had no effect on the ASICS and FPGAs, then I would LOVE to hear how you explain the big drop in hash rate and why others are mining a classic version now.

Hi,

i head international expansion for Poolin https://poolin.com mining pool. I have been trying to get into contact from someone from the ravencoin team, please can someone get in contact with me? thru bitcointalk is fine. thankyou

Incentives matter.

In a project with fundraising, the ones who received the money have incentive to gloss over issues, promote, sell and market.

In an open-source, decentralized, all-volunteer project, participants all have incentive to root out problems and improve security.

I'm currently testing my faucet script, when everything is ok RVN will have beautiful faucet with scratch cards.
Any other ideas for create games with RVN?

how is it possible to tokenize assets without a 3rd party? whos going to verify the collateral?

Happy 2nd Birthday Ravencoin!

Today is the anniversary of Bitcoin and the 2nd anniversary of Ravencoin

You have accomplished a lot in 2 years:
- strong, decentralized network
- working code
- asset creation capabilities
- met or exceeded the roadmap & plans
- a great community

[ivan376]

Is there any plan for RVN to have its own decentralized exchange site? Like the IDEX and Etherdelta of Ethereum, and Wavedex of Waves

[Aismen]

Anyone mining on POOLIN and have any info about fees and how the payouts system works. I see no info about block being mined or anything on their website.

Indeed this article have very good information about this ecosystem and how this could be potentially more useful in future. The author explains all details in this article so that I also would like to recommend it is worth to read and understand how big thing Raven is.

Two year ago there was no Ravencoin chain.

Just an idea that was just announced.

The original idea was:

- to create a chain focused on assets for securities & other use cases
- Bitcoin code fork, 21b instead of 21m coins, 1 min block time
- open source, censorship resistant

[CryptoHao]

Many skeptics two years ago believed Raven would never even be able to launch a working blockchain...let alone have unique capabilities for asset issuance.

No marketing, no budget, just code, devs, designers, builders and an army of volunteers.
