Bye bye x16rv2:
Not Long after the fork of Ravencoin on October 1st, 2019, Altered Silicon has released a public bitstream for X16Rv2. This bitstream works for BCU1525 and can be accessed 👉here. It needs 2 BCU1525 at minimum to run. Hence you will need QSFP cables to connect them.
So we can assume that Ravencoin fork was a big fail ...
Additionaly the original chain of Ravencoin is still alive and mined.
There is even a pool for mining it (icemining) and its called now Ravencoin Classic.
Im stick with the old chain.
of course you can stick with the old chain. especially if you already bought the ASICS. Ravencoin Classic is just another spinoff coin just like pigeon was. That also died quite quickly. Dunno what is the plan with Ravencoin Classic other than keep the asics useful. Didn't see one post about it.
also, just googled Ravencoin classic, found this
https://www.coinness.com/news/412858 dunno the truth, dunno any exchanges for it or anything. Any whitepaper for Ravencoin classic?
So ... i feel i must answer few questions:
1. THERE ARE ASICS/FPGA for X16rv2 already. And it is a fact. So the whole antiASIC fork is a joke.
2. Ravencoin Classic is just the old Ravencoin. It hasnt right now its separate bitcointalk thread nor its separate whitepaper. Ravencoin Classic are people mining the old chain.
3. You said that the only reason why someone keep alive the old chain is to use the x16r ASICS... Maybe ... But at this moment i noticed one thing : I can mine so much ravnecoins on sigle GPU like never before . In the same time mining RVN on x16rv2 i can get only few a day . So it clearly says that it was not the ASICs what makes the high hashrate before the fork...
