Patrick Byrne: Ravencoin is a fork of Bitcoin, but it’s really been optimized to handle assets and securities. We have twenty different blockchain companies within Medici Ventures?—?what we are doing, where possible, is leveraging and integrating Ravencoin into these different projects. So for example, we’re invested in an Israeli company that’s doing a blockchain supply chain system for wineries. Ravencoin is the preferred solution for that company. We’re in the same process now with tZERO. tZERO is blockchain agnostic, and Ravencoin won’t be the only chain underlying tZERO, but people will be able to issue security tokens on Ravencoin. You may see it emerge in a number of our projects, like ConsenSys did with Ethereum.

"Next, Raven has a role to play in a number of these Medici companies. It's been designed and developed as the perfect protocol for digital assets, has significant advantages over both Bitcoin and Ethereum. I think, you'll be hearing very significant news about Ravencoin shortly, perhaps as early as this week. It plays a role in the number of the companies in which we're involved, like you're seeing in front of you here. If you know the business model of consensus, one could say that Medici Ventures is like has a similar business model but where consensus is purist about using ether, we are not purist about using Ravencoin but there are four or five companies in there, at least, that look like they will be making use of Ravencoin."

The header I pulled from somewhere it looks fine to me, but could be my monitor. Its not letting me shrink it for some reason.

Should be there now, it wasn't approved for the ticker when I first put it together.

That Header is huge + can we get a RVN/BTC chart at the bottom of it?

What Makes Ravencoin Different from Bitcoin?
The X16R algorithm intends to solve the centralization of mining seen on the Bitcoin blockchain caused by the introduction of expensive and highly efficient Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) hardware. By randomizing the order of 16 different hashing algorithms, Raven makes ASICs difficult to develop, allowing room for anyone to be able to mine the Raven network without the disadvantage of competing with ASIC hardware. The Raven team has also committed to change the hashing algorithms if a Raven ASIC miner is ever developed.

Block reward of 5,000 RVN instead of 50 BTC.
Block time of 1 minute instead of 10.
Total coin supply of 21 Billion instead of 21 million.
A new mining algorithm, X16R which allows for more decentralized mining.
Addition of Asset issuance, and transfer.
Future addition of unique assets, sub-assets, rewards, messaging, and voting.
