Project Raven 🦅/ RVN / Ravencoin

No matter how stupid or tyrannical or powerful someone is, no matter what political party or country or organization, they can’t stop your use of the Ravencoin network to create digital items and tokens and move them as you wish.
Math and code over tanks and guns.

IPFS on Ravencoin is still underestimated and undervalued

Five years ago Ravencoin was six years ahead of its time.

Facts.

If you are an insider with access to the Epstein files you can publish them on Ravencoin using IPFS completely anonymously, without any central control, free, no one able to censor, no need for an account, KYC process or any approval.

Cypherpunk. Open source.

Just sayin.

Using Ravencoin you can create a digital asset in minutes.
You can give the asset any unique name you want.
You can control and move that asset, issue tokens with provably limited supply and you can control and move those tokens.
You can do this all using the open source Ravencoin wallet. You can do this without consultants,
programming, permissions or central control. You don’t need to reveal your identity, fill out forms or get permission from any centralized authority. Just tech. Free and open source. Decentralized. Cypherpunk.

The code doesn’t know what is going on in the world. It is not relevant to the function of the protocol.

Ravencoin is built for a cypherpunk world, not a fiat world.

The protocol is decentralized and without central control. It works best when completely independent of centralized exchanges.

Use the wallet. Create assets. Move them freely. No need to interact with the old broken system we are working to replace.

While exchange listings are great, the real killer app for RVN is simply the wallet that already exists — within it is the power to create and move unique assets which are embedded with IPFS data. It’s years ahead of its time.

Can I get a “Kaw”?

Somewhere in an alternate universe a different version of Ravencoin had a premine. The developers and founders made hundreds of millions (while also being widely hated and criticized) and the coin mooned on the back of promotion from a centralized treasury (then crashed). But that model is also economically inferior.

No premine, no fundraise is the only way.

The price movement is not as interesting as the freedom and decentralization.
No one promised you’d make money, if they did they didn’t have that ability.
Ravencoin is technology - given away for free & with no central control.
Nothing more, nothing less.

Raven Badger don’t care

Bitcoin is king.

From its humble beginnings, the Ravencoin community has respected and appreciated Bitcoin as the case study in secure code and a secure network as well as the economic and monetary king of the digital world.

The Ravencoin white paper credits the open source Bitcoin developers who built the code that Raven was founded on. Ravencoin is a code fork of Bitcoin and uses the same issuance method (Proof of Work Mining) as Bitcoin. Prior to launch Ravencoin had 100% of the same code as Bitcoin - the main changes were made in multiplying everything by 1000 (21 billion coins instead of 21 million for example) and changing the block time to one minute. Later the asset layer was added.

Like Bitcoin, Ravencoin is a fair launch, proof of work - it also used the same announcement and binaries release schedule as Bitcoin (on the anniversary of Bitcoin announcement and launch).

Bitcoin focuses on nation state level security and economic stability. There’s an argument that says Bitcoin should focus only on security and predictably and not optimize for things like second layer tokens. Whether on the Bitcoin chain or on another chain, internet money will need to interact with digital assets. Ravencoin is a natural fit.

Ravencoin assets have several advantages:
no central control / no security centralization hole or shutdown authority
Private and not linked to any centralized database or identity
Permissionless - anyone can create any asset for any reason

The unique cypherpunk nature of Ravencoin and its no nonsense structure and governance and issuance makes it a natural fit to be the token layer of the digital world.

Some areas that could help realize this vision:
more assets build on Ravencoin
more service providers/ “around the edges” services to make assets work the most effectively
more trading of assets

As always, Ravencoin can always benefit from more security and privacy work as well.

The project is truely free and open source. Ravencoin is a gift to anyone who wishes to build on it and use it.

Ravencoin on exchanges is interesting and more should list it.

But where the project really shines is in the secure core wallet. Using this wallet you can create digital assets easier than almost any other platform. These assets are controlled only by you.

Use it today.

Ravencoin could have had a premine. It would have had a treasury for marketing, press releases, partnerships & grants. It would have had rich & motivated founders & devs to pump their bags.
It could have even bought some market cap & usage.

But then it wouldn’t be Ravencoin. 🦅

Bitcoin is extremely stable code. Ravencoin is based on a code fork of Bitcoin with a nearly identical issuance model. This does alone does not give the project economic value - but it is a very solid foundation and proven issuance, governance and open source model.

The foundation of open source proof of work, fair launch is completely superior to premined central control.

Who do you want controlling the digital assets you create - humans or code?

No excuse to not list RVN.

NONE.

Ravencoin was made in the USA. But this doesn’t matter. RVN is borderless and permissionless with no central control anywhere.

List it.
