I think the surprising aspect was how fast interest gained -- but one shouldn't mistake this as not having a plan or roadmap. This has been planned and thought about for years. Some of the key ways this is showing already are reflected in the strength of the network and number of nodes, users, community. As for funding, development is well funded, many people and companies have invested significantly into dev. The community has funded many significant parts of dev and is growing and stronger every day. The coin is less than 60 days old. The attention to this coin brings lots of good community strength and new devs, volunteers etc. one drawback is that publicity also brings people who don't care about the tech or want some sort of fast results or something. Development will take time

Some additional ways to help Project Ravencoin and the Ravencoin network.
- Download the executables from GitHub for your OS (located in the binaries section) and run Raven-qt.exe
- by running the Raven-at.exe wallet on every PC you own you automatically help strengthen the network
- join a pool and actively mine - this is especially effective if you have a powerful system with a gpu (so far Nvida)
- if you know a developer ask them to consider contributing to GitHub https://github.com/RavenProject/Ravencoin there will be more and more need for dev help as we go
- talk about code, utility, building stuff and plans more than other external factors
- if you know others interested in open source projects, maybe they will download the wallet, mine or contribute
- share or post links to ravencoin.org and the twitter ravencoin
- review bounties and work to complete some
- support the community bounties
- build independent apps on top of this chain (nearly everything that can or has been developed for Bitcoin from wallets to second layer projects to paper wallet generators can be implemented on the Ravencoin chain relatively easily) immediate advantages of this chain: low cost, fast 1 minute blocks, asic resistant, widely distributed
- keep active in the community, share ideas, communicate and follow the project's evolution
- read the Cypherpunk Manifesto
- learn about tokenization of securities and protocols which move things value using blockchains
- share what you learn with others: make posts, blogs, videos and tutorials
This project belongs to you. There is no owner, there is no premine, no ICO, no special founders tokens sale or presale, there is no controller. It's yours...the early members of the community and others who join. We make from it what we put in.
The Inuit, Tlinglit, Tahitian, Chukchi, Sioux and the Haida among others call Raven the magical keeper of secrets, the trickster, friend of the First Men and Creator of the World. An idea or force able to shift, change and create something from nothing. In open source the power of the crowd can do amazing things. Look at what we have accomplished in less than 60 short days: a fairly issued, widely distributed coin with a very solid network and code bass.
This is your coin, whatever you put into it is what it becomes. This will be fun.
