This page provides guidance on mining Ravencoin with the x16rv2 algorithm. AnohterBe aware that another, more ASIC-resistant algorithm is currently in development. Blockchain and mining code change often. This information can and will change. Keep yourself and your software up to date by [https://ravencoin.org/community/ joining the community.] Subscribe to the [https://ravencoin.org/updates/ Ravencoin Updates mailing list.] Join [https://discord.gg/jn6uhur the Discord] or [https://t.me/RavencoinDev the Telegram server] and request mining help. Pass on your expertise where you can. This is your community too. The following information is current and accurate as of December 3, 2019.
=== Quick Start (For NVidia Cards)===
# Download the latest Ravencoin wallet from [https://github.com/RavenProject/Ravencoin/releases Ravencoin github]. Install it and get a receiving address. Be sure to [[FAQ#How_do_I_backup_my_wallet.dat_file.3F|back up your wallet]]. Remember to check the '''[[Mining#Best_Practises | Best Practices]]''' page to keep your coins safe. Note: do not use special characters for your passphrase when encrypting the wallet.
# Extract the T-Rex folder, open the "config_example" file, and change the appropriate information (right click the file and select a program like notepad or notepad++). For <code>"user": "RQVg3n5nH7uFeyTV8sz5yCTMPREsJXTsY5"</code>, replace the quoted Ravencoin address with your mining address (generated earlier). For <code>"CHANGETHIS.worker"</code>, replace <code>CHANGETHIS</code> with the username you generated in the previous step. Minermore does not require a password for your worker, so you may disregard this in your configuration file.
# Open "RVN-minermore" in the T-Rex folder. After a brief delay, text should begin scrolling (and your GPU(s) will begin generating a bit of heat and noise). If your configuration is correct, you will see your hashrate displayed in Megahash per second (MHs). Otherwise, any errors will display and you may need to reconfigure appropriately.
# If you cannot resolve these issues through your own research/trial and error, consider reaching out to the community of miners on our Discord or Telegram servers (linked above).
''Optimization''
Most miners use graphics card overclocking software to optimize their power and hashrate. One such program is [https://www.msi.com/page/afterburner MSI's Afterburner], which will let you adjust your power, memory, core, and other settings. Install this software, and consider using the following settings as a stable and efficient starting point:
*Core: +100
*Memory: -502
*Power: 80%
''Additional info:'''
# To get miner to auto start on reboot press ' win + r ' and type in ' shell:startup ' then create a shortcut of your bat file into in the startup folder.
