 === Why is the difficulty going up / down? ===
 The network tries to maintain 1 block being solved per minute over 2016 blocks before retargeting difficulty. If miners have found more than 1 block per minute during the previous 2016 blocks the network difficulty will go up to bring the average block time back to 1 per minute. If miners are solving blocks slower the opposite will happen.

-There were people that started when difficulty was well under 100 rather than where it is now.

 === Can I mine with my CPU / CPU or GPU mining which is better? ===
-CPU mining is not worthwhile anymore. You can mine with your CPU using the wallet (''setgenerate true -1'' to use all your CPU however you are very unlikely to mine a block). The network hash rate is now pretty large so a single CPU isn't going to contribute much. Obviously, if you've got a lot of CPU's or high-end ones you may earn get lucky. Generally, people are running GPU's in one of the [[Pools]].

 === Which pool is best? ===
-All the [[Pools]] are pretty good, and as with most things tech, they all have issues from time to time. On average you'll get a larger share of fewer blocks with the smaller pools and a smaller share of more blocks with the larger pools. There are support channels for most of the pools on discord. The pools can be compared [https://www.rvnstats.info/d/TcDzUYmmz/x16r-ravencoin-mining-pool-statistics-v1-3 here].

+Mining on a big pool will give you many tiny payouts, vs mining on a small pool will give you fewer large payouts. Over time it will average out and you will earn the same amount of coins.
 A good recommendation when choosing a pool is any pool not in the top 3 highest hashrate, but any other pool with at least around 0,5% of network hash rate so the pool will hit some blocks each day. Or if we want to help build up a tiny pool, go for an even smaller one.
