[http://www.ravencoin.org Ravencoin] ([https://ravencoin.or.kr KR]) is a project built on a code fork of [https://en.bitcoin.it bitcoin] version 0.15.99. Ravencoin fairly launched on the 3rd of January 2018 without ICO, pre-mine or masternodes and was announced by Bruce Fenton [https://twitter.com/brucefenton/status/948682276229074945 on twitter]. Ravencoin is focused on building open-source technology and has a strong and growing [[community]]. Ravencoin aims to implement simple issuance and management of tradable [[Guides#Everything_about_Ravencoin_Assets | assets]] on a blockchain. To avoid centralized ASIC mining of Ravencoin, the developers created a new algorithm, [https://ravencoin.org/assets/documents/X16R-Whitepaper.pdf X16R] ([https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/448427648629342208/582240872238678045/X16R_White_Paper_French.pdf FR], [https://ravencoin.or.kr/assets/documents/X16R%20Whitepaper%20Korean%20V.1.0.pdf KR], [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/430039422667587584/506240897994719232/X16R-Whitepaper_translated.docx DE]). What makes made X16R unique is the changing order of 16 hashing algorithms based on the hash of the previous block. This random reordering of hashing algorithms made it reasonably temporarily resistant to ASIC developmentmining ASICs. However, [https://medium.com/@tronblack/ravencoin-asic-thoughts-e6c0079609e6 it became evident that X16R ASICs were developed and mining Ravenvoin in July 2019]. In a response, X16R was adapted with a small modification to X16Rv2. This adaptation involved adding an extra hashing algorithm to three of the 16 existing ones. As X16RRv2 was only temporarily effective, which greatly reduces the times an ASIC can be used (~3developer community made a more drastic algorithm change to prevent ASICs from dominating mining on the Ravencoin network and moved to [https://medium.com/@jeroz9009/ravencoin-tutorial-kawpow-mining-748158f63e11 KAWPOW].5%)KAWPOW is a derivative of ProgPOW with parameters specifically for Ravencoin.
