There's a number of useful videos on how to mine RavenCoin. Possibly two of the best are:
*[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yg3ssmZfX4U Crypto Explorer - setting up wallet and starting mining]
*[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMpW1nehe54 BitsBeTripping - So what is x16r Algo, how can you mine it? Ravencoin Deep Dive]
# Download the wallet from [https://github.com/RavenProject/Ravencoin github], install and get a receiving address
# Download the GPU miner from [https://github.com/MSFTserver/ccminer/releases/tag/2.2.5-rvn github], unzip, and edit the batch file to include the pool you want to mine on and put your wallet address in the start up script....run the batch file.
(Early miner was only available for Nvidia GPUs - AMD miners now available but still being tested at time of writing 6 Mar 2018, see 2nd BitsBeTripping YouTube link below- x16r AMD miners available searching GitHub.) A great guide to read is the [https://virtopia.ca/how-to-mine-ravencoin-rvn/ comprehensive article on virtopia.ca] Make sure you're downloading software from trusted sources. There have been reports of some miners possibly including malware, whilst this isn't confirmed it's down to you to exercise caution installing anything on your machines. The links in the steps over to github RavenCoin and github MSFTserver have been used by lots in the community and are generally trusted.
