Now fewer and fewer coins are using the PoW protocol, I think it's justified, because mining is no longer popular and new coins do not need to be mined..
PoS is even better as i think.

New threat? FPGA

Hi Mr. DigDeepMining, nice to meet you somewhere else

I don't wanna sound like I'm accusing you personally of being a scammer, in fact I appreciate that you've been answering people's questions in this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2153788.0 until the 10th of May
You said you know nothing about the devs -that I talked to a couple of times before they disappeared- and you just posted the ANN. What about this project, do you know/trust the devs?
Also, I've been waiting for your reply to this question on the said thread:
    "Glad to see you still responding to people here bro
    take a look at this : https://www.shiftnrg.org/
    Did the guys just played us, dumped shaft and took people's ETH to start another project? this can't be a coincidence!"

And to make things more suspicious this coin too is listed on the same crappy exchange!

Just a heads-up everyone, I don't want you to waste your mining power over nothing to say the least for a couple of weeks
It did happen to me, and believe me it wasn't fun

So are you watching today? Yesterday was the worst of the week since Virtopia's new site went live - 93% of estimate.
Today by noon (my time) 14 blocks, already 133%. And for the week, averaging 140% over estimate per day - they are killing the game.

I know that there will be good days and bad ones too. But rather lucky than good. And today? Today seems that Virtopia is both lucky and good!

Code for the asset layer will be released in alpha version within 2 weeks

Virtopia's main server is in Amsterdam.
But they have edge nodes in USA though (anycast).

Direct ping from Chicago (where I am) is 46. Which I'm very happy with. Enemy 1.10 shows 155 (which is still ok), but that is a weird/misleading report due to the situation with the software and the anycast server. But try directly pining the site from the command prompt.

-o stratum+tcp://rvn.virtopia.ca:3333

I really like that Charlie set up this new stratum to be optimized for finding blocks, the back end is tweaked to preform. So far, he's done a great job. And if you want other stats on the pool's website, he was just asking on Discord what people wanted as far as feed back reporting . He's a responsive guy, easy to reach and fast to respond.

Yesterday, the Raven Calculator estimated that I should earn 1510RVN. Maybe it was just a lucky day, but I actually earned 2343RVN. That's 55% above estimate. And today I'm already at the estimated amount. So... It's going really well at Virtopia.

Ive actually been here the whole time. More price talk huh? Give it up man. Accusing me of caring about the price is the furthest thing from accurate. The price shouldn't even matter until the coin does something. And if you care about it now, you're clearly not here for the Long haul

Wasn't it at like 0.038 yesterday and over 6 cents a month ago when I was "absent?". Didn't it touch 900 SATs in my chat? Oh that's right. You're new. Lol

MONERO TARI/ assetts protocol

 Ehmm  https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/8lgvw4/introducing_tari_a_decentralised_assets_protocol/


ravencoin is no longer the first and only blockchain to do this ... 

Just explaining my side of the story to people who still don't get it, you're welcome by the way. I worked with these people for kontys, and met the founders and Devs in person, what about you? Buying names is something I've warned people against from the beginning, so I still think it's terrible those dudes slap their name on a BTC clone and call it contributing to the project. Devs contribute "founders" do nothing, and in a community coin, they are EXTRA useless. Actually the pizza was worth more back in my OTC chat, and I don't care what RVN is worth. RubberChicken mostly pumped that chat, so thanks to him. You really don't know what you're talking about. Me noting the price of the pizza was just a fun commentary, everyone knows I don't care about the price of RVN, I gave away 100k remember?

None of my holdings were on the old ANN, It was posted in my old Discord. So yeah, you're new. Probably shouldn't act like you have any idea what you're talking about. I've read your posts, all price talk and no tech, no wonder you support the hype men so much, people like you are the first to disappear from a project when the price goes up.

I don't care about being special to this community and I just act out of interest of defending myself against false claims like yours. I've made life-long friends in Ravencoin all over the world, and it'll take more than trolls to change my position within that community. I've only ever been replying to people who don't get it, yourself included. I think the fact you said "I want it to be a community coin" as opposed to "it is a community coin" is pretty telling of what side of this debate you come from. I want Ravencoin to remain true to its roots and it's initial pitch. Cypherpunks manifesto, community coin, decentralized, ASIC resistant. You're another confused newbie who thinks they'll get the last word on something they don't know about. Just give it up, and we'll all go back to normal over here.

All of these "mental health" comments are by people who fail to have the capacity to think for themselves, quite simply. I have zero mental health issues, just as OGNasty has zero qualification. These people are upset that they weren't in the know about my actions on the project, and you're right, their ego's clearly rule them. It's obvious to anyone who either was in my mod chats at the time (and not under employ), or people with above average reasoning skills. They toted the information they were fed by their friends and were wrong to do so, now the "oh he must be crazy" is all they have left. Either way, they wanted me to provide them some definitive expose, and that simply wasn't going to happen for reasons I feel fit to keep to myself and those close to me. As you can see, the more vocal RVN community, and its shills, are quite happy & comfortable believing, and perpetuating, lies. Most of these comments are more about saving face for them and their ilk at this point, i've always had the patience to let it all play out and be confirmed in the long run. I will say, this project has brought me no misery, it's been a fun learning experience on the nature of corporate crypto and crypto trolls, wouldn't change it for the world. Coming from a background of legitimate community coin work, it's been a blast to see the differences between community driven projects and Ravencoin. Maybe that's what makes me crazy hahaha.

On a more fun note.

HAPPY BITCOIN PIZZA DAY EVERYONE! My 5000k Ravencoin pizza purchase is worth about $200 today! It's only been about 4 months since that purchase! Huzzah!

I know I shouldn't blanket the entire FSP as bad (there are bad actors in any group) just making a general point to get the job done. While I'm not a professional, after I clear what I see to be the last lie about me perpetrated by these guys, it should be back to old Kaigeta for me. Professionalism is what they are used to, and I wasn't going to play their game. Not making excuses, you're right,, but figured I'd let you know.

Thanks for your thoughtful, reason based reply, they are far and few between these days. People are more comfortable with lies than truth, but I feel those days are numbered one way or another, and RVN as a project will be stronger for it in the long run.

I'll update with important information as it comes about. But I expect it's out of my hands now other than consistently updating my police reports. Thanks again!

Can this coin be 20$ in 10 years? I have 14081.59990099

If Ravencoin had the same valuation as Ethereum currently does, it would be ~$3.50 per coin.  I think this is probably the best case scenario.  A more reasonable expectation might be that it reaches the valuation of NEO, which would put it at ~$0.21 per coin.  I think a low end expectation would be that it has the valuation of something like Nano, which would be ~$0.04 per coin.  I personally believe we will see it reach somewhere in the $0.12-$0.14 range before the end of the year, possibly with spikes much higher as supply is still very low and there are many exchanges left to bring new buyers to the table.

At the current valuation per coin, if you consider coins to be mined, Ravencoin would be the 26th largest coin by market cap.

Can someone request this coin be added to http://coinsmarkets.com?  Any extra exchange support would go a long way.

Mine rvn buy nct u will not regret it.
