1000 Raven, I never imagined this happening.
My first rig was R9 380's, They mined ETC just fine. I slowly upgraded to RX570/580/5890's for my ETH rig. I started selling off the old 380's and won a few auctions that I later found out were 4gb 570's. I figured I would hold on and someday mine ETC with them again. My daughter decided that she was not going to "game" anymore and her system with a 5500xt 4GB was just sitting there. I googled "mining with 5500 4gb" and I came across a RVN thread. I didn't know what it was but Reddit kept sending my Raven post notifications. I just kept reading them. I stopped the 5500 ETC adventure and tried RVN with NBMiner. 6mh/s?!! This was not going to work. I was in the flypool discord and decided to drop down to the RVN room. I got some good advice and I switched to Team Read Miner. I was getting 10mhs but it was running hot, 80C!!! I used some of my acquired ETH knowledge and started playing around. I got it to 13mhs running around 60C. Exciting! I dusted off one of those random 570's I found. Worked some magic and now I am pulling 21mh/s with the cards running at 58C around 100 Watts raking in about 40 RVN a day. Today, I hit 1k Raven, a milestone I never considered attempting to achieve. I love this thread and I will keep the rig going to support it. I think its time to build a proper RVN rig and see where this can take me. I have come a long way. Mining RVN has been fun and this group is a big part of that.
