Ravencoin Mining Guide

Getting Started with Ravencoin Mining

This guide will walk you through mining Ravencoin using GPU miners, connecting to Meowpool, and optimizing your setup for best performance.

Step 1: Set Up Your Wallet

• Download the official Ravencoin wallet from ravencoin.org.
• Install it and create a new wallet address dedicated for mining rewards.
• Backup your wallet and recovery phrase securely.
• Ensure your wallet is fully synced with the network before mining.

Step 2: Choose Your Miner

Recommended GPU miners for Ravencoin:

• T-Rex Miner – Efficient for NVIDIA GPUs and widely used.
• SRBMiner-Multi – Supports AMD and NVIDIA GPUs, stable for long runs.
• Download the miner for your operating system and verify its checksum.

Step 3: Connect to Meowpool

Configure your miner with the following pool details:

stratum+tcp://meowpool.net:3094

Use your wallet address as the worker name. Password can be "x".

Example T-Rex command:

t-rex -a kawpow -o stratum+tcp://meowpool.net:3094 -u YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS -p x

Step 4: Start Mining

Run your miner and monitor your hashrate. Track your mining rewards on the Meowpool dashboard.

• Check for rejected shares — a few are normal; high numbers indicate config issues.
• Adjust GPU settings such as power limit and fan speed to maintain efficiency and prevent overheating.
• Monitor performance regularly to avoid hardware damage.

Step 5: Troubleshooting

• Miner not connecting: Ensure your firewall allows outbound TCP to port 3094.
• Low hashrate: Verify miner version and GPU settings.
• High rejected shares: Try lowering intensity or switching to an alternate stratum server if available.
• Dashboard not updating: Mining shares may take a few minutes to appear; double-check your wallet address.

Step 6: Next Steps & Tips

• Experiment with different miner settings to find the best balance between performance and stability.
• Regularly update your miner software and wallet for security.
• Check Ravencoin network difficulty and coin profitability periodically.
