There's a number of useful videos on how to mine RavenCoin. Possibly two of the best are:
- Crypto Explorer - setting up wallet and starting mining
- BitsBeTripping - So what is x16r Algo, how can you mine it? Ravencoin Deep Dive
At a high level the steps are:
- Download the wallet from github, install and get a receiving address
- Select a pool from the Pools list
- Download the GPU miner from github, unzip, and edit the batch file to include the pool you want to mine on and put your wallet address in the start up script....run the batch file.
(Early miner was only available for Nvidia GPUs - AMD miners now available but still being tested at time of writing 6 Mar 2018, see 2nd BitsBeTripping YouTube link below - x16r AMD miners available searching GitHub.)
There is a https://virtopia.ca/how-to-mine-ravencoin-rvn/ comprehensive article on virtopia.ca] to help you get started mining RavenCoin.
Make sure you're downloading software from trusted sources. There have been reports of some miners possibly including malware, whilst this isn't confirmed it's down to you to exercise caution installing anything on your machines.
