Alright, 1855 blocks remaining until I start mining RVN again. Glad to hear that the difficulty issue will be resolved.

What if anything do we need to do to properly mine on the new setup? Is it a fork or just a seemless edit?



I'm surprised the developers didn't see this issue when the project started. I mean of course nicehash and other miners are going to rush when the difficulty is low for the 1000 odd blocks, jamming up the difficulty when the next retarget hits, causing everyone to bail.

Most other coins do every block retargeting to get around it, so good to see raven forking Smiley

Ravencoin is open source project which is being built on strong fundamentals of which everyone should be aware of. When we talk about cryptocurrencies making money is first thing comes into mind that is true. You must be aware of the basics and purposes of creation of thing your skin is in so latest article is for everyone. It is bit lengthy but worth to be read.

Step 1. Backup the old wallet so you will have a backed up .dat file

Where is that option in wallet? i have only "make a copy of the wallet" is that it?

Is it possible to lose all coins if i do something wrong?

Here is what I do (in Windows):

-stop the wallet
-open file explorer and goto "%appdata%" (this assumes you let it install in the default path when first run)
-copy the "raven" directory someplace (to save space, you only need the wallet.dat file in there, the rest is re-generated when you start the wallet)
-double check what you copied matches what was in the source directory.


I also make sure to run the wallet on a second computer at all times.  So take this "raven" directory (you really only need the wallet.dat file since the other stuff will soak up a lot of space) and place it in the %appdata% location.  Then put the raven-qt file on your desktop and start it.  It will then begin loading the block files  in your new %appdata%\raven directory and your coins balance will eventually appear when enough of the blockchain is read in.


I instaled new wallet on new pc, copy wallet.dat from old pc and that's it?i see my coins.

lol, it's sad ppl don't understand the concept of buy and hold. (good projects that is).

do you not want to make money?
They lack patience, they want to become rich by tomorrow that's why most of them fail. They buy high sell low or just sell everything and move to another project because this one is not moving. Usually they are too lazy to read the whitepaper as well so they don't understand the potential behind Ravencoin.

Which is the best performing Nvidia miner right now? It's been a while since I last checked in on that stuff.

For such a global system of work, it must be independent of regulatory jurisdictions. The idea of the team is decent, I'm waiting for news.

That's not easy to do. The system itself might not be subject to all of those regulatory jurisdictions, but the people using it will be.

How does this affect people who are mining?
If you are mining via a mining pool, it will not affect your abililty to mine because the updates will be done on the pool side. However, if your mining payouts are going to an old wallet, you will not be able to access them on the new chain until you update that wallet.

The difference is that the devs on Ravencoin are actually active and are changing the way difficulty works at block 338778. These spikes will go away.

Raven is falling into the same funk as Pigeon coin, the rush for the coin happens only on the difficulty downward spikes, then everyone abandons it and sells off until the next spikes. This is why the price keeps dropping, who wants to be in that shit cycle? See Pigeon coin's price...
