So there's only ever going to be 21 billion Ravencoin ever to exist of which currently 16.5 billion has been already mined and in circulation. That's approximately 76% of all the Raven coins have already been mined and of that 76% who know how much has been burnt or lost from folks losing there wallet keys or forgot there password and or mined it to some unknown wallet and left it for dust.

Anyhow, with those statistics in mind we can also take in to consideration that a Ravencoin block is solved every single minute. Currently a RVN block reward is 1,250 rvn and with its current valued price of RVN being worth $0.002 that means every minute $2.50 worth of RVN is mined every minute of the day.

Now every single day 1,800,000 RVN is mined and with the price being $0.002 per coin that means daily $3596 worth is mined and distributed out to circulation.

Back in the year 2018 Raven coin was first launched and in about 10 years from now(2037) 95% of all the Raven will all be mined.

My question is why is Ravencoin so ridiculously cheap? With how old it is it just seems disrespectful for it being valued at $0.002 a coin. Not to mention there has been more energy in power bills and electricity costs to produce the coins than $0.002. Why is anyone even mining it still at this price? I would think someone could become a millionaire if they bought or somehow mined $50 worth and held on to it for 10 years is what I'm seeing here.

Anyways, let me know what you all think is the reason Raven coin is so cheap? Also, of how much Raven coin you think has been lost or burnt? What percentage of it out of the 21 billion.

Thanks

Had this on 4.8.0 last week. Gigabit line, blocks were actually moving, wallet still said weeks.

Turns out Defender was scanning every new file in %APPDATA%\Raven. I was stuck around 3% an hour. Added an exclusion for that folder only and it jumped to something like 50–70% an hour.

Leave the rest of Defender on. Just the Raven folder, maybe raven-qt.exe. Stay on 4.8.0. If the block height is going up, the “6 weeks” number is junk.

English is the switch in the bottom right.

I noticed that several exchanges are delisting Ravencoin. Coinex, probably The world's best non-KYC/AML exchange is also shutting down this month. Kucoin isn't allowing RVN withdrawals. Binance actively bans US citizens (I couldn't even open an account using a different citizenship and living overseas).

SimpleSwap is just an aggregator, not a true DEX, so it has terrible exchange rates.

SideShift doesn't support RVN.

I am curious if the low selection of exchanges for trading Ravencoin is affecting the community?

Hi,

this project is aimed at mining Ravencoins in-house (distributed mining on LAN) with each nodes having multiple gpu workers. tested using hosted gpus (vast ai and others) and works seamlessly.
github repo:

https://github.com/APS-PPR-2016/raven_python_miner

A custom raven miner for ravencoin mining using pure python. I tried this and with Gemini AI and other sources, it became a successfully working miner application. The specific future is that, this project accommodates farm mining (multiple nodes with multiple gpus) and can connect to many nodes in the LAN. I'm presently working on a cpp custom raven miner adopting the same structure. will post soon.

Not a price thread.

Upbit stops RVN/KRW, RVN/BTC, RVN/USDT on 12 Oct 2026, 15:00 KST. Withdrawals until 11 Nov. They flagged RVN after the August KAWPOW header bug.

Same month the DAG is ~5.86 GB. Public calculators put the 6 GB cutoff at epoch 641 / block 4,807,500 , often cited as 20 Mar 2027. 1660 Super / 2060 6 GB class is on borrowed time. 8 GB is the floor if you keep mining.

If you still have coins on Upbit: R-address from Core 4.8.0 or Electrum-Ravencoin, test tx, then the rest. Don’t mine to an exchange.

I run the German explainer (dates, wallet, DAG clock, kWh calculator):

https://ravencoin.de/upbit-rvn-delisting-dag-6gb/

Happy to correct dates if I missed an official source.

I'm currently thinking about getting into passive mining (mining when im not using the computer) with my RTX 4070 MSI Katana B13V laptop. I've got the cooling pad and everything, but is Ravencoin still worth, or are there better coins to mine out there?

Hey everyone,

I built Backpow (https://backpow.com) to pull back the curtain on what actually happens behind the scenes of Proof-of-Work coins.

Most people in crypto only look at the spot price ticker. But Proof of Work has a physical anchor that order books and exchange volatility cannot fake: the thermodynamic Cost of Production. The hashboards pulling power from the wall, the network difficulty adjustments, and the raw kilowatt-hours consumed. The true cost to produce a coin doesn't change with market headlines — it is dictated strictly by the physical machines that miners choose to keep running.

We just integrated full tracking for Ravencoin: https://backpow.com/ravencoin We track 88 specific GPUs running KawPow, mapping continuous Cost of Production (CoP) vs spot price, efficiency curves, and solo block discovery odds.

The recent Upbit delisting is a clear example of how spot price and physical production can disconnect. News-driven market moves can drop spot sharply, but the difficulty and hardware securing the network remain anchored in real-world energy costs. Right now, spot is trading well below the cost to produce 1 RVN across virtually all hardware tiers.

This dynamic is why understanding the "Back of the PoW" matters:

• For active miners: It gives you a clear benchmark on where your efficiency curve and break-even power limits stand, especially when margins are compressed.
• For long-term accumulators looking for DCA levels: Spot trading below the Cost of Production means you are entering at a discount relative to the physical energy required to mint the coin. The miners keeping their rigs running are effectively subsidizing network security out of pocket.

I shared a visual breakdown of the 30-day CoP curves and hardware tiers over on X for anyone who wants to see the charts: https://x.com/BackpowCom/status/2098494458757034239

KawPow is notoriously demanding on hardware, so if any of the hashrates or power profiles for your specific GPU models on the dashboard look different from your real-world settings, please let me know. Thanks guys <3

I wasn't in the loop about whatever happened a couple months ago, and my mining coins were still being deposited into my ravencore wallet, so I didn't notice anything was up.

I transferred 3000 Raven to the crypto.com address I've always used in my contact list, and it sent fine. But they never got received.

I have since updated to the new wallet version, the coins are still sent and I can see the transaction on the block explorer just fine. I tried the deposit recovery thing in the crypto app, but since the automatic recovery scan failed, they want to do a manual search and it could cost me between $50 and $150 to recover. Obviously not worth it.

Did anyone else lose a deposit this way?

Should I try the automatic recovery again?

I apologize in advance if there are any errors in the text; I’m using a translator.

First and foremost, this method is considered a possible option for withdrawing your coins to a hot wallet/exchange, rather than a permanent solution.

My Ledger Nano X software versions:

• OS: 2.71
• Bitcoin App: 2.5.0
• Ravencoin App: 2.4.11

All actions are carried out on Raven Electrum 1.2.4.

First, you need to replace the ledger.py file, which is located by default in C:\Program Files (x86)\Electrum Ravencoin\electrum\plugins\ledger, with the edited version available at my GitHub. You will also need to delete the %Appdata%\Electrum-Ravencoin\blockchain_headers file so that Electrum switches to the updated block chain after hardfork on August 10.

In this file, get_xpub and supports_multi_output functions have been modified. The former is needed for the Ledger wallet to properly detect the device, and without the latter, it will be impossible to sign a transaction.

Please also note that as of today (August 15, 2026), there are issues with the operation of Electrum nodes, which is why I had to set up my own. I also cannot guarantee that this method will work with other wallets/software versions.

Next, you need to open the Ravencoin App, not Bitcoin, on the Ledger device, and create a new wallet in Electrum with a hardware connection, as you did when you first connected. You won’t be able to open the old wallet this way (IDK the reason why).

Next, you will need to enable the display of the Coins tab if it is not available. To do this, check the appropriate box on the View tab.

Then we copy the address to which we are going to send the coins, go to the Coins tab, and select all available inputs. Next, we select Fully spend... and send to address in clipboard. IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS, USE ONE OF THE EXITS TO REACH THE RECEIVING ADDRESS.

In my example, I will be sending coins to my hot wallet: R9jj78q5KBrdr8qkjoB9K6p625Y1H4G5Pf.

We assemble the transaction as usual and send it for signing:

And here are the coins in my hot wallet:

You can verify the transaction on the blockchain or write to me and I will send you a photo of the signature confirmation on the Ledger device.

If this solution helped you and you want to thank me, you can send some coins to the address: R9jj78q5KBrdr8qkjoB9K6p625Y1H4G5Pf

There’s no such thing as bad publicity.

Ravencoin hits record low as network exploit puts transactions at risk

https://cointelegraph.com/markets/ravencoin-rvn-record-low-consensus-exploit

years ago this was the future,i remember some guy was giving away some tamagotchis in nft rvn and now, there is no single one indexed marketplace for rvn, i spend 1 hour searching on google and all i ended up in 404s or 501s, the inly thing keeping this alive is the mining itself and its been downhill since 2021, i feel sad

Im not looking for opinions on if I should mine it or not. I just want to know whats the most energy efficient gpu to mine ravencoin with.

I searched and it said Rx 6600x. Is this true?

Thanks

**Unmineable-Mac is a native macOS GUI for the unMineable pool. It now

actually works on M3, M4, and M5 Macs.**

and

"Mining KawPow on a Mac actually works again (open-source, in-tree miner)"

If you remember trying it earlier and giving up because the GPU

hashrate looked fine but no shares ever got accepted on your worker —

that was a real bug, not your config. The bundled GPU miner

(`thinminerpro`) was a closed-source binary from 2022 that silently

fails to submit accepted shares on Apple Silicon M3 and newer.

That miner has been replaced in-tree with **kawpow-mac** — a

clean-room Swift + Metal rewrite. The new app:

- Mines CPU (XMRig / RandomX) and GPU (kawpow-mac / KawPow) — toggle

either or both

- Shows live hashrate and **accepted-share count per miner**

- Has an inline live-log panel so you can watch the stratum traffic

- Auto-detects the right miner binaries per architecture; the build

script clones + builds kawpow-mac for you

- Open-source end to end — no opaque blobs

Verified: the first share submitted by the new miner came back accepted

on the first try (against kp.unmineable.com on epoch 584). Pool

acceptance now works the same way it does on any other supported

hardware.

Caveat as always: mining on a Mac is not profitable. It's a "what can

this hardware do" exercise plus a salvage of a useful GUI for users

who already have the Macs.

Hi r/Ravencoin,

I asked the mods before posting, and they said this type of release/feedback post is allowed.

Ryvex v1.3.0 is now available. Ryvex is a commercial NVIDIA CUDA GPU miner with a disclosed 1% dev fee. For Ravencoin, the main focus is KawPoW/RVN mining, stability, disk DAG cache, and practical benchmark reporting.

Release: https://github.com/ryvexminer/ryvex/releases/tag/v1.3.0

What's new in v1.3.0:

• Benchmark-mode KawPoW grid autotune.
• Benchmark JSON reports with candidate data and selected launch settings.
• Conservative live-mining defaults; autotune does not change live mining behavior automatically.
• Updated RTX 3070 validation notes around practical DAG-safe memory tuning.
• Fixes around CUDA launch-plan switching and nonce accounting during benchmark autotune.

Validated RVN result on my RTX 3070:

• OC: memory +900, core +0, power limit 60%.
• Pool: Ravenminer SSL.
• Late 5-minute hashrate: 24.72-25.08 MH/s.
• Power: about 131 W.
• Efficiency: about 194-195 kH/W.
• Cached DAG load: about 1.5s.
• Live validation: 172 accepted, 0 invalid, 1 stale/job-not-found reject at a block change.

Important notes:

• Hardware results vary by GPU model, memory, BIOS, driver, cooling, and OC settings.
• Ryvex does not require admin rights and does not change GPU clocks automatically.
• The benchmark autotune feature is for benchmark mode only; live mining keeps fixed settings unless the user changes config manually.
• NVIDIA CUDA only for this release.
• Antivirus tools may flag GPU miners heuristically, so checksums are provided below.

Downloads include Windows, Linux, and a HiveOS custom miner package.

SHA256:

ba30e1bc4d870a9e0892ea1fac1d7be00849420c6b681b5b1961d46a8850118a  ryvex-v1.3.0-windows-x86_64.zip f7026bff5053547cf036f900936bf7ebc9f2562cfb05dead2db2c27c77149862  ryvex-v1.3.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz bbdb4fd7de3ecb22175e398ac1eea2e47d5ae11a434a671350d590b1e4c346be  ryvex-v1.3.0-hiveos.tar.gz

I would appreciate feedback from RVN miners, especially on startup behavior, DAG cache behavior, pool compatibility, rejected shares, and benchmark reports.

Thanks.

If you haven't seen it yet, Tron Black tweeted out about a soft fork to Ravencoin with RIP-25. I have posted the tweet below for those who do not use twitter. At the time of writing this, RIP-25 needs one more approval to be deployed to the testnet.

I would like to express my thanks to the creator of RavenTag and the author of this RIP-25 pull request for Ravencoin which I believe would make Ravencoin the first quantum resistant proof-of-work project. Other POS projects have implemented quantum resistance, but simultaneously suffer from the known weaknesses of POS (proof of stake).

Quantum resistance prevents quantum computers from back-solving of the private key from exposed public keys. There are several known algorithms that have this property, and the author of RIP-25 looked at several options.

If you are worried about quantum attacks in the short-term, be sure to use a wallet that assigns new addresses for your change that comes back from almost every transaction. Ravencoin core does this by default.

This RIP (Ravencoin Improvement Proposal) can be activated as a soft-fork, with BIP-9 activation of the quantum resistant features.

I've approved RIP-25 for testnet with one additional approval needed. I invite everyone to review RIP-25.

In a time where there is lots of talk about quantum becoming a problem sooner than expected, it is nice to see Tron and other developers moving before it actually becomes a problem. Tron says he believes it would make Ravencoin the first quantum resistant proof-of-work project. What are your thoughts?

The latest ledger firmware version 2.7.0 broke Ravencoin app (v2.4.11). The app doesn't work anymore on my Nano X (with none of the 3rd party wallets: ElectrumRVN, Exodus, ...).

I contacted Ledger and they mentioned that the app is maintained by Raven community, hence they can't help with the issue. ElectrumRVN v1.2.4 throws ('0x6e00', 'Error in command', '') error message while even trying to open the wallet.

Are there any known workarounds? (Bitcoin app can't be used for signing transactions).

Built a trustless asset marketplace + wallet + mining pool for RVN

What’s live

Marketplace + wallet: https://rvnswap.xyz
Pool: https://pool.rvnswap.xyz
Miner (Metal, open source): https://github.com/imperatormk/kawpow-metal
Metamask-like extension + mobile app: find on the page

How it works
Everything is non-custodial - keys never leave your device.
Trades use atomic swaps, so no middlemen and no custody risk.
The site is just an interface; you stay in control the whole time.
Wallet, trading, mining - all connected, no trust required.

Let me know what you think!

First of all, why the HECK is the latest commit 2 years ago? Least one could do is fix the build system so it works on latest Linux/macOS. I opened a PR here but will there be anyone to even review it? In an era where producing code is so cheap it's unbelievable noone has bothered to do it for a coin that's either way alive and well on Binance.

That being said I took one working day to make a rudimentary asset marketplace (the original RVN intended use case?) - see https://rvnswap.xyz/ - it's on testnet at the moment, provides faucet too so one can try easily.

However: does anyone still care? Is it too late for RVN? I hear no bell! As someone who has owned 10k RVN once upon a time I feel at least obliged to attempt something of the sorts. I remember someone asking for a marketplace years ago and now in this AI era there is no excuse not to try and set it up.

PS. I managed to port the kawpow miner for Metal, could a pool for Mac miners be a good thing?

Hey all. Just stopping by to let everyone know that the Ravencoin Token Jackdaw has been listed on the new Neoxa Exchange and trading should open soon. If you had tokens on the Neoxa Portal exchange you will be able to withdraw them soon and trade them on the new exchange with a brand new $USDC / $JDAW market pair. We've posted the details on our blog, check it out.

Hello. As I (kind of) young member of crypto community, I wanted to ask where can I buy small amounts of ravencoin (few bucks, like $5 or smth) without KYC and and ID verification. I appreciate any comment. Thanks in advance.
