Ravencoin (RVN) Mining Tutorial

Raven Coin <br/>Let's take a look at the briefing of Raven Coin:

Consensus mechanism: PoW algorithm: X16R Block time: 60s Total amount: 21 billion Creation time: January 3, 2018 (9th anniversary of Bitcoin creation) Blockchain browser:

• ThreeEyed

at present:

• 868,965,000 Raven coins have been mined, accounting for 4.14% of the total. The total network computing power is not particularly high, about 1.3T, and the computing power is relatively stable. Difficulty 19,548

Get wallet and address <br/>The official website of Ravencoin is: https://ravencoin.org/
Open the official website and the download link is at the bottom of the page.

Click “Download”.
I have to complain that it actually jumped directly to Github. Can't it be downloaded directly?

What's even funnier is that this page is actually out of date. There is another link below, so just click on it.

Finally, you can see the real download link. Select the corresponding version according to your system situation. Let’s take Windows as an example and click the red box to download.

After downloading and decompressing the windows-x86_64.zip file, you can get the file as shown in the figure.
Double-click raven-qt to start the wallet.

When you start the wallet for the first time, you will be asked to set the data storage location. If your C drive is large enough, you can use the default setting. Otherwise, choose a drive with ample space. The wallet will continue to synchronize block information, and the space occupied will increase.
Ravencoin has only been created for 3 months, and about 160,000 blocks have been mined. The total block capacity is not too large, about 200MB.
Click OK.

It will take some time to complete the block synchronization. Block synchronization does not affect the generation of wallet address, so just click to hide it.

Click "Receive" on the main screen, then click "Request Payment."

In the pop-up interface, the red frame part is your payment address.
For example, my address is RNpiNJ2VL8x2ASWbmyWoyYoKPgH6PZ7EGo
Mining pools and equipment <br/>The domestic F2pool has launched RVN , and its computing power accounts for about 25% of the entire network, which is already a large proportion.
The X16R algorithm used by RVN has a high ASIC resistance. In the short term, no ASIC will appear. Currently, mining is mainly done using graphics cards.
To make it easier for everyone to select equipment, we have compiled the computing power values ​​of some mainstream mining graphics cards commonly used by consulting customers for your reference.
AMD Graphics Cards:

RX 470 4GB: 4.5 M/s RX 480 8GB: 7.0 M/s RX 570 4GB: 5.0 M/s RX 580 8GB: 7.0 M/s

Nvidia Graphics Cards:

GTX 1050 Ti 4GB: 4.0 M/s GTX 1060 3GB: 4.5 M/s GTX 1060 6GB: 5.0 M/s GTX 1070 8GB: 8.0 M/s GTX 1070 Ti 8GB: 10.0 M/s GTX 1080 8GB: 10.5 M/s GTX 1080 Ti 11GB：15.0M/s

In this tutorial, we use a 1060 3G graphics card to mine in F2Pool.
Mining software <br/>Mining software can be downloaded here: nevermore-miner

Depending on your system, select the corresponding version, usually just select the red box.
After downloading and decompressing, you will get three files.

Modify the example content as follows:
[code][/code]Please note to change the wallet address to your own wallet address above. The mining machine name is used to mark the mining machine. You can name it as needed.
After the modification is completed, don't forget to save and double-click example to start the mining program.

If you see the green “ yes ”, everything is normal and the value in front is your mining speed.
Check earnings <br/>Open the homepage of F2Pool: F2Pool - Bitcoin Mining Pool, Litecoin Mining Pool, Ethereum Mining Pool, click the magnifying glass icon at 1, "Currency" at 2, select RVN at 3, enter your wallet address at 4, and finally click "View" at 5.

The mining machine needs to work continuously for a period of time before the mining pool can display a more accurate computing power value.
