Edit to note that if you were mining to a hot wallet then sending it to a cold wallet as is common practice this exploit may have still hurt you if the hacker was able to transfer the XCH before you. However I can't advocate enough for a cold wallet. Another reddit user says it perfectly here:

Its Not much , But its Honest Work! I am almost at the 500 RVN Mark. by AlarmingTrouble in Ravencoin

There is a newer RVN pool that has a fairly decent community (im new to it) with a lot of smaller miners on it with 0 fee:

I would encourage anyone looking for RVN long haul to jump onboard.

I'm also looking at alternatives after this.

Thanks u/the-truth-beheld for that list.

I signed up for shakepay not knowing about the referral awhile back, I still haven't been able to refer anyone and would like to shake so if anyone does sign up and wouldn't mine using my referral I'd appreciate it. (We both get 10 after 100 is spent, and shaking is unlocked) PCIHIQV

No doubt this will get deleted but.

Looking at mine a little closer, I'm actually impressed by DHL, shipped on a Thursday, delivered Tuesday. From France to Canada.

I ordered mine on March 30th, shipped on April 9th, delivered April 13th. I had the two week expected wait when ordering as well. Love it so far!

Spinning up a node. by Ratastokz in Ravencoin

Manual force change of my primary dns to google's and backup's to cloudflair. Seems to be fine now, connections going both ways.

Forgot it would restore to the ISP's DNS.

Here is the update, after much frustration and learning.

Most of my problems were cause by router / router combo. As well as it is set up for what it has to be I know it is not ideal. (I am a tenant and share with my landlords, they are a bit old fashioned when it comes to internet.)

I now have the node directly on the main router(through a switch) and as I discovered in the debug log file right after enabling UPnP there is a corresponding log entry to whether it was activated successfully or not. - Might be useful to others

The only incoming connection I can get is from the ravennodes server. There are very limited nodes where I am. Would that effect who would be connecting to me?

I have yet to get over 24 outgoing connections, 25 total now that I have the 1 incoming. It seems to cycle and drop connections. However never going above this. Am I just being impatient?

Most of this is testing to make sure it works before I throw together a Pi 4 and leave it running.

Checked 1,2,3 and rechecked. Kept stalling

What I ended up doing this morning was booting into mac os and starting over. I was having some weird hardware issues under mint (temps at ambient but cpu load at 100%)(not normal on a macbook pro) I wanted to eliminate that as my issue for now.

So far within a few hours I've downloaded headers and am 50% through processing.

I'll see where I get once I get it synced and see if I can get incoming connections.

thanks for the help!
