Are you running a ravencoin node on a static IP? Consider running an Electrum-Ravencoin server along side it!

Electrum ravencoin servers are what allow electrum ravencoin clients to interface with the ravencoin network. Right now, all of the electrum servers are run by devs, and I would love for the wider community to start running them and get some decentralization going.

While there is no reward for running an electrum server, the cost of running one is marginal when compared to a node.

My current server runs:

– negligible CPU usage

– ~700MB RAM

– ~3.5GB Disk space

The server is also very customizable to suit your hardware with environment variables (https://electrumx-ravencoin.readthedocs.io/en/latest/environment.html)

Github repo: https://github.com/Electrum-RVN-SIG/electrumx-ravencoin

How-to (based on linux): https://github.com/Electrum-RVN-SIG/electrumx-ravencoin/blob/master/ElectrumX%20Ravencoin%20How-To.md

​

/u/RamboNTanga has also created a docker container for the server: https://github.com/dramirezRT/RVN-Electrumx-docker

If you have any questions about the server or how electrum works (or anything I should add to this post), please let me know!
