Ravencoin (RVN) Rekenmachine

Ravencoin, launched in January 2018 as a fork of Bitcoin, builds a precise yet slightly mischievous world for creating and transferring digital assets, where blocks march every minute like clockwork and a flock of GPUs caws in consensus, turning cryptographic order into a strangely humane marketplace for truth-bearing tokens; it employs Proof-of-Work using the KAWPOW algorithm-evolved from X16R through X16Rv2-to resist ASIC domination and keep mining accessible, thereby promoting decentralization through broad participation, while its tokenomics mirror Bitcoin’s cadence with a maximum supply of 21 billion RVN, an initial block reward of 5,000 RVN, and halving events roughly every four years (the first in 2022 and the next expected around 2026), aligning issuance with scarcity without shutting the door on small participants; at its core is a purpose-built asset layer that lets users tokenize real estate, startup equity, gaming items, event tickets, intellectual property, and gold-backed claims, each with unique identifiers to prevent counterfeiting, with options for standard, reissuable, and unique assets for NFTs, plus restricted assets and qualifier assets that enable address whitelisting and basic compliance workflows, and an issuance process that requires burning RVN to deter spam, enforces globally unique asset names, and supports metadata via IPFS so provenance can be traced beyond mere ledger entries; the platform extends this with native tools to send messages to token holders, conduct on-chain votes, and distribute rewards to them, turning token communities into living cap tables and subscriber lists; it is open-source and community-driven, having launched fairly without pre-mine or ICO and sustained early development interest from contributors associated with Medici Ventures, yet it accepts its own constraints with austere clarity: no general-purpose smart contracts, limited adoption compared with contract-centric platforms, and inflationary concerns tied to a large supply, all of which temper its DeFi ambitions even as they simplify security surfaces; in this careful tension-order and absurdity hand in hand-Ravencoin aims to provide an equitable, asset-focused, peer-to-peer network where ownership can be minted, messaged, voted, and verified, and where miners and issuers together keep the ravens flying.
