Latest news about Bitcoin and all cryptocurrencies. Your daily crypto news habit.
Tomorrow Ravencoin (RVN) will be forking at 16:00:00 UTC and the fork comes with a change for the current X16R to the new X16RV2 algorithm and you need to make sure you are ready for the switch. First off you need to make sure that you have the latest Raven Core wallet (if you do use a local wallet). Mining pools should be updated already or should make sure they are also ready for the switch of the algorithm before the fork occurs. You would of course also need to update your mining software depending on the hardware you use in order to be able to continue mining wit the next X16Rv2 algorithm after the fork. There are already a couple of software miners that announced support for the X16Rv2, though not all of the ones with X16R support are ready for the new algorithm.
Nvidia GPU miners with X16Rv2 support:
– z-enemy 2.2 Nvidia GPU miner (1% dev fee)
– T-Rex 0.14.4 Nvidia GPU miner (1% dev fee)
AMD GPU miners with X16Rv2 support:
– teamredminer v0.5.9 AMD GPU miner (2.5% dev fee)
