Ravencoin SITREP

Decentralised Finance (DeFi) has been an unexpected use case for Ravencoin. In this episode, todays's guest Alpha Beat discusses why ravencoin is useful as a trusted proof of work ledger for stablecoins and how that can be leveraged in nascent DeFi applications.

Today we have Ravencoin Twitter personality Quothing Raven, who has been very active using his marketing skills to promote ravencoin, hosting regular Twitter spaces and starting an ipfs-based Newsletter. We talk about this, recent updates following the last meetup and veer into global and political aspects of decentralised ledger technology like Ravencoin.1

Today I spoke with a man who goes by the name SYNTH from the United Kingdom. SYNTH has lately been one of the most prolific creators of graphic and animated NFTs in the Ravencoin ecosystem. He is also working on games. I try to dig deep on how he mints his NFTs, how his games work and his thoughts on ravencoin generally. Apologies for the audio - there were difficulties with connection speeds at the UK end and this was the best we could come up with.

Ravencoin user and RVN Discord personality Vincent appears on the show to discuss his Medium paper on the RVN burn price to create assets. He is concerned that as the value of RVN increases with quantity demanded, that "the little guy" may be left out of asset creation. We discuss his concerns and I push back a little, bringing up how innovators in the asset space are developing ways to deal with that.

Today I speak with Dan and Sarah Jenkins from Hydrachain Tech, a building construction company and real estate business in Wisconsin, USA. Sarah and Dan have been crypto enthusiasts for many years and saw the potential of Ravencoin in tokenising commercial interests from the beginning. Here they describe how they got going with Digishares, how they found the lawyer best suited to creating their SEC securities filing, and how they plan to launch their investment opportunities for anyone on the planet who wishes to invest in construction and rental income from residential dwellings.

Today's episode is a roundtable discussion on how artists and creators can get their work minted as an NFT on the Ravencoin blockchain. Rikki from RVNFT will detail how his site rvnft.art came about and how he is collaborating with others on this show to help artists bring their work to ravencoin. McLeod in the UK from IP Assets/Mangofarm Assets ipassetstechnology.com ravencoinipfs.com and mangofarmassets.com will discuss ho the company he represents enables easy minting and more importantly hosting of NFTs for artists. Stefan from Germany will discuss the raventrader.net ravencoin asset marketplace as well as the niftysynth.com NFT portal. Ryan from Zaytech will discuss his site marketplace.justnfts.io where people can bid on NFTs put up for auction as well as list for a Buy it Now price. Zebratif from Poland will discuss his new Interactive 3D Ravencoin Whitepaper, which will not only be a beautiful and functional document but a proof of content for other publications like pop-up books and more

Doug Pepe joins me to discuss the state of his companies Mangofarm Assets, RavencoinIPFS and the merger with IP Assets. Doug is a leading figure development and management of assets on the Raven Network. His solutions make it even easier for people who don't code to create richly featured asset tokens for whatever purpose they need. Doug shares his updates on this and the state of Ravencoin generally and he also has some exciting news!

In this first episode I introduce the Ravencoin native currency and Raven protocol by going through the whitepaper. Much has occurred since that was published - which I will address in later episodes - but I thought this was as good a place as any to start
