A new pool project rewarding miners and node runners, also helping other pools start
Hey there all!
We have been working on growing day by day, reaching out to miners in the community, helping fellow pool devs find their start in creating more pool options for the community.
Unfortunately in the pool sphere the is a major lack of help and code available to allow new pool devs begin the process of building pools, so we have been helping with that. Please feel free to reach out if you are trying to make your own pool!
Our pool is different from others in the fact that we genuinely want to give back to the community! We have a 2% pool fee currently that takes 100 RVN from every block (5000 RVN) the pool hits, and deposits it into our node lottery wallet.
What is the node lottery? The node lottery is going to be the first ever rewards system in the RVN community that will reward those running nodes to help support the backbone of the blockchain. It will be a weekly quarter block drawing once our pool reaches 10GH/s (is the goal at the moment with network difficulty fluctuation this could change ever so slightly), live streamed from our community discord. Currently we are saving up to start backing this as we grow in size so that a decent jackpot is available when we initiate the node lottery! One lucky node runner will be selected each week.
Our community is very lively on the discord, and we look foward to the joining of new members each and every day. We offer help on multiple topics such as nodes, mining rigs, settings for those, pool operating, sourcing and purchasing GPUs, etc.
We are really trying our hardest to make the community a great place, one effort at a time!
If our hashrate seems low, don't get discouraged, this means we are all simply hashing at one of our sister pools, we collectively have just over 1 GH/s when we all turn our rigs on, strap our hard hats on, and start working on a block together! Currently we are over at rvnfriendos.org, check our discord community for more information on this as well! This is our way of contributing to the decentralization of the pool scene, circulating the hashrate around to our sister pools as well as ourselves so that everyone can hit blocks and we don't end up with extremely long round times!
Current round time looks about 5 days to 1 week per block, and will gradually decrease as our community grows! Hoping this post will help with that!
We are officially on the ravencoin.org/pools listings, and are working our way up to be a beneficial project for all members of the community, miners, node runners, pool devs, all of the above!
Thanks all for the read and sorry it was long! Please feel free to reach out with any questions, much love for the Ravencoin community!
Hoping to reach great heights with the RVN project over the long haul!
