FAQ

When will RVN be on an exchange?

We don't know. The core development team is not looking at it, they're working on developing the technology. The general consensus amongst the community is that it would be better to wait until we have a least a better defined white paper discussing the roadmap for the coin before listing the coin. You can currently buy and sell via the trading channel in Discord. There are trusted members of the mod team that you can reach out to and ask to act as Escrow. As with everything crypto, it's your responsibility to look after your coins. Well worth a read safety guide

What's the link for Discord?

Discord

Are there Masternodes?

No.

When is the ICO?

There isn't going to be one.

Was it pre-mined?

No - it was announced on twitter

How come some people have 100,000's if it wasn't premined?

There were people that started when difficulty was well under 100 rather than where it is now. Some people rented hundreds of Google.cloud CPU's to mine it before the GPU miner software was even developed for the community. Some have huge gpu rigs pointed at pools.

Can I mine with my CPU / CPU or GPU mining which is better?

Yes you can mine with your CPU however you're unlikely to earn many RavenCoin. The net hash 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 many earn more. Generally, people are running GPU's in one of the Pools.
