== New Mining Algorithm X16Rv2 - Oct 1st, 2019 ==
[https://medium.com/@tronblack/ravencoin-asic-thoughts-e6c0079609e6 As it became evident that X16R ASICs were developed and mining Ravenvoin in July 2019], the X16R mining algorithm was adapted with a small modification to X16Rv2. This adaptation involved adding an extra hashing algorithm to three of the 16 existing ones, which greatly reduces the times an ASIC can be used (~3.5%). X16Rv2 was implemented using an [https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0099.mediawiki#asic-reset-hardfork ASIC-reset-hardfork].
Development progress and code is available here: https://github.com/RavenCommunity
==Phase 3 - Dividends/Rewards - Feb 7th, 2020==
* Use Raven messaging for other systems.
== New Mining Algorithm KawwwPOW KAWPOW (Aim: April, 2010May 6th 2020) ==To battle ASICs in the long term, Ravencoin developers are developing a new hashing algorithm: KawwPOWKAWPOW, which is a variant of ProgPOW with parameters specifically for Ravencoin. The change will be implemented using an [https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BIP_0099#ASIC-reset_hardfork ASIC reset hardfork ].

The iOS and Android RVN Wallet is already BIP44, and Mango Farms web wallet is also BIP44.If you’ve already created a wallet before the version 4 release, then it will continue to use just the BIP32 HD derivation and should be backwards compatible with your existing wallet.dat file. If Ravencoin core does not find a wallet.dat, it will prompt you and give you 12-words to write down as your backup. You should still encrypt your wallet and never forget your password.

==Phase 6 - Voting (Aim: Q3-Q4 2020or later)==
Ravencoin will support voting. Creating a vote will create vote tokens. These vote tokens are identical to normally issued tokens, except that they are created in exact qty and units as an already issued token. Vote tokens move just like regular tokens up until the block height when the vote expires. This allows vote token holders to send their vote to a delegate that might have better information about the topic and therefore cast a more informed vote. The feature will also allow voting by percentage of ownership. Second tier web voting can be built on top of this protocol.
