Mining Ravencoin Tutorial

A. Solo Mining
    1. Download Wallet https://github.com/MSFTserver/RavenCoin-Wallet-With-Miners/releases/tag/6.0.

        then launch Raven-QT, Encrypt wallet(optional), wait for wallet to sync.

    2. Start the Miner
        On top menu, click "Help" and select "Debug Window". In the new window, select the "Console" tab (We recommend making sure your processor heat sink is free of dust, and you use a temp monitor like http://openhardwaremonitor.org/ to ensure you do not reach temps that could damage your hardware.)

        Type "setgenerate true X" where X is the number of processor cores you want to mine with, into the console, hit enter.

       Wait a minute. Then type "getmininginfo" into the console, hit enter. Your current hashspeed will be to the left of "hashespersec" if you've got a value other than 0, you're mining!


B. Pool Mining
    1. Choose a Pool
        there are two pools for Raven at the moment:
            https://rvn.suprnova.cc/
                STRATUM-URL: stratum+tcp://rvn.suprnova.cc
                STRATUM-PORT: 6666
                HIGH DIFF PORT: 6667
            https://hash4.life/
                STRATUM-URL: stratum+tcp://hash4.life
                STRATUM-PORT: 3636
				Extra Config: -p c=RVN
        	http://pool.threeeyed.info/
                STRATUM-URL: stratum+tcp://pool.threeeyed.info
                STRATUM-PORT: 3333

2. Download a Miner
        GitHub Repo Containing Everything:
			https://github.com/MSFTserver/RavenCoin-Wallet-With-Miners
        CPU Windows:

    3. Configure your miner.
        Settings for Stratum (config file)
        STRATUM: STRATUM-URL
        PORT:    XXXX
        Username:     Weblogin.Worker/Address
        Password:    Worker Password (optional now)
        CPU Miner Command Line
            "cpuminer.exe -a x16r -o STRATUM-URL:PORT -u Weblogin.Worker/Address"
        GPU Miner Command Line
            "ccminer-x64.exe -a x16r -o STRATUM-URL:PORT -u Weblogin.Worker/Address"

            You then need to change -u Weblogin.Worker/Address and the other options to reflect your pool and your own account or wallet depending on the pool you chose to use. Eg, -u Steve.StevesWorker or -u RUiosfoxnA3aMZqS5F65uiAss5xaDejXpV , if using hash4life you will also need -p c=RVN , Then go to "File => Save as" and save the file as "RVN.bat" in the same folder as the miner. You are now ready to mine, double click on "RVN.bat" to start mining.

    4. Create a Raven address to receive payments.
        Downloading the client & block chain: https://github.com/MSFTserver/RavenCoin-Wallet-With-Miners/releases/tag/6.0.
        Generate a new address and input it on your account page to receive payments.
