Windows Nvidia GPU Mining

• The following step requires the 7zip archiver which can be downloaded from here
• Download ccminer from here. Make sure to select the correct version for your hardware and Operating System (32-Bit or 64-Bit) - when in doubt choose 32-Bit
• Extract the archive and open ccminer.conf in a text-editor of your choice
• Replace the contents of the file with:

   {
     "max-log-rate" : 30,
     "quiet" : false,
     "debug" : false,
     "protocol" : false,
     "cpu-priority" : 3,
     "algo" : "x16r",
     "url" : "stratum+tcp://rvn.coinfoundry.org:3172",
     "user" : "YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS",
     "pass" : "d=8"
   }

• Replace YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS with your Ravencoin wallet address. If you don't know your address, read this section first.
• If you are mining on multiple machines/rigs, you can append an identifier of your choice to your wallet address seperated by a dot to make it easier to distinguish between your rigs when evaluating your results. Example: <WALLET ADDRESS>.<OPTIONAL WORKERNAME>
• Save the file
• Start ccminer.exe or ccminer-x64.exe

Getting a Wallet

Before you can start to mine you need to create a wallet. Although Ravencoin is an entirely digital asset, you still need a place to store them. This is done in a digital wallet. There are multiple methods to obtain a wallet which vary by ease of use and the security they provide.

Official Wallets

Official first-party Wallets for all major platforms are available from the Ravencoin Website. These wallets are released and maintained by the Ravencoin Team.

Paper Wallets

For long-term storage of Ravencoin you can create a paper wallet. A paper wallet is extremely secure if you guard your private key by storing it in a password vault such as KeePass or LastPass or printing it out and depositing the sheet in a real bank vault.

Registering with an exchange

There are multiple digital currency exchanges you can register with. Registering with an exchange allows you to create a wallet on the exchange for every currency the exchange supports. Registering with an exchange is probably the most convenient way to obtain a wallet. Unfortunately it is also the least secure one. Exchanges have been hacked in the past!

Exchanges supporting Ravencoin are: CryptoBridge.
