Ravencoin is free & open source & fairly mined (POW) blockchain. Users can issue and control utility, game, NFTs & securities digital assets/ tokens
#IPFS
Ravencoin is a code fork of Bitcoin, fair launch, proof of work mined chain with an asset aware protocol that allows users to easily create and manage unique digital assets.
That’s it.
BIG announcement:
Ravencoin is having a special WARREN BUFFET LUNCH tomorrow! 🚀*
* “Warren Buffet Lunch” means:
Tomorrow, fans of RVN eating your lunch alone at your desks can watch videos & read about Warren Buffet.
Post selfies & stories so we can all share.❤️🙏👍🍕
PSA: If RVN goes up in value it doesn’t mean you should buy.
Greed and FOMO makes portfolios rekt!
Instead download a wallet, test it out, try the software, move some assets around, read & learn.
Crypto is very speculative & you can lose everything you invest!
Be cautious!
Ravencoin has surpassed a one billion dollar market cap.
No premine, no fundraise, no ICO, no developer reward, no founders reward. Fair launch, proof of work mining.
A big shout out to
@cz_binance
& the great builders at
@binance
!
Raven is decentralized & has never paid listing fees to any exchange.
There isn’t even any person to pay or officially request it.
Binance understands open source & supported this.
Cypherpunks stick together. 👊
If a single influential person can change a protocol then it’s not decentralized and security suffers.
Open source project best practices is to try to continually increase decentralization & reduce power of any single individual.
Ideally no influencer, dev, billionaire or king should have any more influence than any other person and no individual should have the power to change consensus rules.
Four years ago today, Ravencoin was born. 🦅🚀
The aim was to create a working blockchain & protocol to empower users to create tokens for NFTs, securities & other uses. Fair launch, proof of work, no fundraise or premine.
It worked!
When & how did you hear about Ravencoin?
Fact: 99% of the (often legitimate) criticisms of “alt coins” do not apply to Ravencoin. It’s not centralized and not a money grab / premine or fundraised project. It’s open source code given away for free: impeccable structure.
If all the people who got a pre-mine & founders reward in RVN at launch & pre-launch pooled all their coins together & dumped them, the total number of coins would be 0 Ravencoins.
There is not a single early bag holder who got free coins. The only way to get RVN is fair mining.
Dear Elon, we know you are busy but just wanted to let you know that companies can tokenize their shares using Ravencoin.
The distributed ledger tracks what is true and makes it impossible for shorts to pretend they own something that they don’t.
“Ravencoin” will not be sending you a GDPR email because, like Bitcoin, there is no corporate entity, leader, central point of control or even a mailing list.
Free & Open Source projects, when done right, are simply ideas expressed in code. You can’t regulate or kill an idea.
Ravencoin has no central control, no board, no treasury, no CEO, no executives and no legal structure. Ravencoin is free and open source. You can use it and build on it how you see fit. Without permission.
Ravencoin is freedomcoin and the world could always use more freedom.
High gas fees...Ravencoin unaffected.
Brokerage halts trading...Ravencoin unaffected.
International fiat money printing...Ravencoin unaffected.
Mass economic interruption & lockdowns...Ravencoin unaffected.
Regulatory issues with ICOs, sales & premines...Ravencoin unaffected.
Which of the big 3
@coinbase
@krakenfx
or
@Gemini
will list RVN 1st?
It’s 3 yrs old, huge & consistent volume, $1bn market cap, not a security, fair launch, fair mined PoW.
We don’t have marketers or lawyers calling you because it’s decentralized but you cannot ignore results.
Ravencoin has no advisors.
This is a different structure than many projects.
Ravencoin has no centralized organization to engage advisors.
Developers, designers and all involved with the project are volunteers.
Ravencoin is free and open source software, not an organization.
The initial block reward for RVN is 5000 per block. The code copies
#Bitcoin
’s issuance schedule, in lauding the decrease in block rewards. It’s now been just over 4 years since the launch of the binaries & first mining so the reward is about to drop to half…2500 RVN per block.
...Big partnership announcement coming soon!
...just kidding 😃
This is a decentralized open source project. There isn’t anyone to sign any partnerships or an entity to sign them for.
This is a group of voluntary devs builders making free software.
You are welcome to join us.
Remember: Because it is based on a code fork of
#Bitcoin
, Ravencoin is compatible with the Lightning Network, one of the most advanced scaling solutions. Everything being build on LN can work on Ravencoin and RVN assets.
Ethereum’s effective premine was over 62% after launch.
If Ravencoin had the same schedule it would mean $930,000,0000 in today’s value in RVN for founders & developers.
Instead the founder & dev reward was ZERO. All code was given away freely. All coins issued by fair mining.
Awesome to see
@Ravencoin
using the
@IPFSbot
collaborative clusters feature for anyone to follow and replicate the blockchain!
#innovate
Should get it added to the public collab clusters listing too!
Ravencoin was designed for digital assets such as securities.
It has no central control & no compliance or KYC or AML or regulatory features or controls.
It offers a flexible protocol so users can place the controls or permissions they wish based on jurisdiction & use case.
Miners: no one can take this network from you and turn it into PoS. It’s your network. If anyone tries that it’s just a fork. Please save your Raven, use the wallet, build on it and let’s make something amazing together.
The Raven Project has no offices, no employees, no overhead, no marketing, no executives and no expenses.
The network is coded, designed and run by volunteers. Anyone is welcome to contribute.
Anyone can create their own Ravencoin club, organization or foundation. None are official and none have any official authority. All are welcome to support Ravencoin, help others or increase discussion in any way they wish.
Don’t forget. RVN is super speculative & you could lose every penny or sat you invest. That’s the truth & anyone who says otherwise is incorrect. Be careful, be cautious, do your own research & don’t invest what you can’t afford to lose.
You won’t see Ravencoin marketing booths, slick ads, advocacy groups and armies of lobbyists or salespeople promoting the project. It’s organic and everyone who believes in it is in the same boat: equal opportunity to mine, participate or build.
Ravencoin is Proof of Work.
All the computers used to secure the massive Ethereum network now need something else to secure.
The Ravencoin algo works for these GPU miners and this is causing a surge in mining hash power.
Ravencoin isn’t perfect, but it belongs to you.
The code is given away freely. The network is usable by anyone. You can create assets or build on the protocol without permission. It’s yours. Use it as you wish. If you choose too, join us and help build on the network.
Who are ye ravens?
If you’ve been in Ravencoin a while or if you mine, develop or build please introduce yourself below & say what you are working on & why you are here 🦅

FAQ:
Q: When will Ravencoin make announcements of partnerships?
A: Never.
Ravencoin is not an organization. No one has authority to sign agreements or partnerships.
This is free and open source software. No agreement is needed for you to use it.
The mainnet for the protocol asset layer will be released on October 31, 2018. This is the one year anniversary of the Ravencoin founding and the 10 year anniversary of Bitcoin.
The network has been live since January 3 which is the anniversary of the Bitcoin network launch.
Bitcoin is money. Ravencoin does not compete with Bitcoin. It’s primary use case is for tokens like games or securities tokens.
Since Ravencoin is a fork of Bitcoin it can merge its advances and security upgrades.
Second layer protocols like LN will be powerful on this network.
The network does not know or care about the price — that is an arbitrary value created by people in a market - the network only knows the code and hash power
Ravencoin has higher market cap, more nodes, hash power, decentralization & a larger community than Bitcoin did at this stage pre-halving.
This doesn’t put us ahead of king
#Bitcoin
of course- it’s due to the industry growth & increased knowledge...but this is one strong network.
Just because Ethereum had a massive premine and a fundraise is no reason to criticize Eth. It’s not fair and not nice.
Let’s be fair: early insiders needed those premine millions to pay for all those huge gas fees. 😂😂😂
Build on Ravencoin. The project offers stability, predictability and a solid and well tested code base. There is no permission required and the decentralized nature of the project mitigates many problems faced by centrally controlled protocols.
The only way anyone known anything about Ravencoin is because they did their own work and research. There was no fundraise or army of promoters, marketers and business development folks pitching funds, projects or exchanges.
Just pwople and code.
Much of the value in the world will be tokenized.
Ravencoin offers a simple way for anyone to create assets on chain, with no smart contract, no dev or programming and no permission needed.
At the end of the day, when you cut through the billion dollar marketing campaigns, what matters most is whether a protocol works as intended and is censorship resistant.
Rvn ftw
RVN is available on
@BittrexExchange
, one of the earliest supporters of this project!
As with all exchange listings, no fee was paid.
Raven is decentralized and has no funds, no offices, no leadership, no executives, no CEO & no one authorized to sign anything.
Thanks Bittrex!
Every single project with a premine, a token sale, a control point, a multi sig or single sig system that controls voting, a governance token, a PoS system or which has closed source code is at a disadvantage in decentralization & structure to Ravencoin. Every. Single. One.
The binaries for the testnet of the asset layer for the Ravencoin protocol are scheduled be posted to GitHub by July 30.
This will allow creation of tokens / assets using the Ravencoin protocol on the testnet. Mainnet launch will be after debugging and security testing.
Happy Birthday Ravencoin! 🎂
It was on this day that the code was released.
You know, code. Open source, beautiful code. Given away for free. No sale, no premine, no fundraise.
Just cypherpunk proof of work.
Like a badass. 🦅
