=== Why is RVN any better than <insert coin here>? ===
Some thoughts about the potential future direction of RVN have been captured in [[The Fenton Files]] ''(I'd personally really recommend a read through of that to help understand the background)''
=== Are there Masternodes? ===NoAll papers are linked to from [https://ravencoin.org/whitepaper/ https://ravencoin.org/whitepaper/]. The [[Development | Development section]] also summarizes all roadmap phases.
=== Was it pre-mined? ===No - it was [https://twitter.com/brucefenton/status/948682276229074945 announced Further points about the launch where made on twitter] and discussed at a few meetups prior to that. There's a timeline of some of the events [https://cdnraven.knightlab.comwiki/libs/timeline3/latest/embedw/index.htmlphp?sourcetitle=1NKsWx5sSG90GjbbwZaOav6D_bAOdnlBjPBAjJtZzXr4The_Fenton_Files&fontmobileaction=Default&lang=en&initial_zoom=2&height=650 heretoggle_view_desktop#6_May_2018_-_Telegram Telegram on the 6th May 2018]
ItThere's an exchange liaison group on the following discord with a number of people talking to exchanges: and software and hardware wallets.

At the time of writing: when the exchanges decide to list it, or someone pays to list it. ItThere is dedicated '''[[mining]]''s an open source project so anyone can pay for it's listing on any exchange, howeverpage, including links to the general consensus at moment is opensource mining software for both nVidia and AMD cards. The [[Guides]] page contains multiple how to wait until the technology of the coin is further developedvideos.
Check CPU mining is not worthwhile anymore. You can mine with your CPU using the exchanges abovewallet (''setgenerate true -1'' to use all your CPUs, however you are extremely unlikely to mine a block). The network hash rate is very large so a single CPU isn't going to contribute much.
=== How do I mine Ravencoin? ===At a high levelMiner Devs update their software very often. The best place is to ask on [https://discordapp.com/invite/jn6uhur Discord] #mining.

There is more detail on All the [[miningPools]] pageare pretty good, and as with most things tech, including links they all have issues from time to time. On average you'll get a larger share of fewer blocks with the opensource smaller pools and a smaller share of more blocks with the larger pools. There are support channels for most of the pools on [https://discordapp.com/invite/jn6uhur Discord]. The pools can be compared [https://www.rvnstats.info/d/TcDzUYmmz/x16r-ravencoin-mining software for both nVidia and AMD cards-pool-statistics-v1-3 here].
=== Can I mine with my CPU / CPU or GPU Mining on a big pool will give you many tiny payouts, vs mining which is better? ===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.
Yes you can mine A good recommendation when choosing a pool is any pool not in the top 3 highest hashrate, but any other pool with your CPU however you're unlikely to earn many Ravencoin. The net at least around 0,5% of network hash is now pretty large rate so a single CPU isn't going to contribute muchthe pool will hit some blocks each day. Obviously, Or if you've got we want to help build up a lot of CPU's or high-end ones you many earn more. Generallytiny pool, people are running GPU's in go for an even smaller one of the [[Pools]].
=== What The reason we want to not go for the pools with the highest hashrate is to spread the hash rate should be be getting for my cards? ===and secure our network.

__TOC__
== Coin launch / structure ==
=== Where's the whitepaper? ===
A paper describing the intention for Ravencoin is available on the Ravencoin.org site [https://ravencoin.org/Ravencoin.pdf here] other papers are also linked [https://ravencoin.org/whitepaper/ here]
=== What's the roadmap for Ravencoin? ===
[https://github.com/RavenProject/Ravencoin/blob/master/roadmap/README.md https://github.com/RavenProject/Ravencoin/blob/master/roadmap/README.md]
=== When is the Any ICO/Premine/Masternodes? ===There isn't going to be an ICONo. Ravencoin is had a fair launch, open source project focused on building good code with a good use-case.It was [https://twitter.com/brucefenton/status/948682276229074945 announced on twitter] and discussed at several meetups months prior to launch. There's a timeline of some of these events [https://cdn.knightlab.com/libs/timeline3/latest/embed/index.html?source=1NKsWx5sSG90GjbbwZaOav6D_bAOdnlBjPBAjJtZzXr4&font=Default&lang=en&initial_zoom=2&height=650 here]
===The devs should do <insert topic here> / Why aren't the devs doing <insert topic here>? ===
This is an open source project. You can do whatever you want with it. Read [[The Fenton Files]] for more thoughts about the coin. The devs are focused on the code development inline with the roadmap. Members of the community can build tools and websites around the coin that they think could be useful. === 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 cloud CPU's to mine it before the GPU miner software was developed for the community. Some have still have huge gpu rigs pointed at pools. All coins in circulation have been generated the same way, fair mining.
=== What's the max supply? ===
=== What's the halving rate? ===
The same as bitcoin so every 4 years or so. 2100000 blocks (1block / min * 60mins * 24hrs * 365 days * 4yrs)
https://ravencoin.org/halving/ read more here.
=== When will all be mined? ===
== Trading Questions ==
=== When will RVN be on an exchangemore / better exchanges? === RVN is listed on multiple exchanges.
The group has a working document [https://wallet[Exchange | Exchanges]] and an [[Exchange FAQ]] on this wiki.crypto-bridge.org/market/BRIDGE.RVN_BRIDGE.BTC Crypto Bridge]
=== When will RVN be on more / better exchangesHow do I mine Ravencoin? ===
=== What's the going rate for RVNCan I mine with my CPU / CPU or GPU mining which is better? ===
== Mining = Which miner is best? ===
=== Which pool is best? When do we get paid ===
=== I just started mining 30mins ago, why are my rewards so low ===
Pplns vs pps, is often the answer. In a pool with pplns - Pay Per Last N Shares - we build up over rounds(N) our share in the reward(block). Suprnova uses 20 - 25 rounds for N. Threeeyed is another pool that also uses pplns
PPS - Pay Per Share, the sum of our submitted (accepted) shares divided by total submitted shares on the pool by other miners, gives us our percentage of the next block.
yiimp based pools (such as ravenminer.com, yiimp.eu, cryptopool.party) by default use a custom approach to rewards. All shares are saved for as long as it takes to find a block. Then, when a block is found: 1) rewards are divided proportionally among valid shares. 2) Valid shares older than 5 minutes prior to the block being found are then deleted. [https://github.com/tpruvot/yiimp/blob/next/web/yaamp/core/backend/blocks.php] This has the effect that all miners get close to a fresh start with each new block.
Pplns will give us more rewards in long term mining. [https://minergate.com/faq/difference-between-pps-and-pplns Read more here] and [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=39832 here.]
=== 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.

== How do I do <topic here> with the wallet? ==
Many questions about the wallet can be answered by searching the same question for the Bitcoin wallet. The [https://en.bitcoin.it Bitcoin wiki] and [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/bitcoin Bitcoin on StackOverflow] are two great resources which might already have answers to your question.

=== How do I get a receiving address? ===
At the time of writing the Raven QT wallet is largely the same as the Bitcoin QT wallet - there are numerous guides via Google on setting up the Bitcoin QT wallet.
In summary, install the wallet then:
For a receiving address:
Click File > Receiving Address > New, enter a name for your address, click OK - you should then see your new address
