x16rv2 did nothing to fpgas lol wasnt intended to as they were not the issue. people need to stop spreading fud about fpgas.
Are you talking about waiting for block halving? You can wait for more than 28 months? So 2 and a half before ravercoin block halving.
Yes it was even slightly more i took a snapshot just before the fork
And first days after for hashrate was hoovering in between 5-6TH , till people figured out that its profitable to mine it. So it means there was about 70% asic miners on Raven coin which is a lot of hashpower.
By the way fpgas are not that efficient on Raven , for example there are some mining new alghorithm already 4000euro worth of FPGA is doing 100 mh/s at 120 watts. https://mineshop.eu/fpga-miners/xilinx-bcu-1525-fpga-detail/
