Ravencoin Community Clash Over Mining Algorithm Continues
The Ravencoin community continues to argue over what mining algorithm the project should adopt in the future to best deter ASICs, despite Ravencoin conducting a hard fork intended to bolster ASIC-resistance just five months ago. Tron Black, Ravencoin’s lead developer, posted an update on Feb. 18 stating that “work is ongoing to test various alternative algos for mining Ravencoin.”.
Ravencoin versus ASICs Ravencoin’s whitepaper, published April 3, 2018, advanced ASIC-resistance as a core utility offered by the project’s x16r mining algorithm - which was designed to “to prevent immediate dominance by mining pools, and future dominance by ASIC mining equipment.” The post also outlined proposals for Ravencoin’s future ‘x16re’ algorithm, with a recent update indicating that RVN’s developers are currently exploring implementing progPOW into the mining algo.
