------------------

Ravencoin (RVN) price is relatively closely linked to BTC. It traded over 400 sats last month as the alts went bullish, and is currently around 300 sats. With BTC dropping, ostensibly due to the COVID-19 outbreak, RVN is similarly affected and is currently at $0.024
------------------

Bittrex added the RVN/USD trading pair.
------------------

The Ravencoin meetup is being held on April 3, 2020. Come meet and tap feet with the amazing Ravencoin community.
------------------

A mining algorithm change for Ravencoin is in the works. KAAAWWWPOW will be a variant of progPOW with some key changes and some fixes for some recently discovered vulnerabilities. Testing has begun, but more work needs to be done to ensure that GPU mining software, and pools are prepared.
------------------

A Ravencoin Beginner’s Guide is available. Share this link with new community members.
------------------

The proof-of-concept is code complete for Finclusive KYC tagging solution and the testing will begin soon. Open-source code was built and made available for others to build their own tagging solutions.
------------------

A BIP44 compatible core wallet is in testing. It will work on mainnet, but has not been well tested yet, so be careful. The default for a new wallet will be done via 128-bit seed value, presented as 12-words. The words should be compatible with other BIP44 wallets including mobile RVN Wallets (iOS and Android). If you choose to experiment, make sure you back-up your original wallet.dat first. If there is already a wallet.dat, it will be backwards-compatible and use the existing HD key.
------------------

REAL Ravencoin Ballet wallets are going to be delayed because of supply-chain related issues resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak. This was communicated as soon as we knew it might be a possibility, but is now a reality due to flight restrictions to/from China. Bobby Lee will continue to evaluate the situation and update me as things change. The Ballet Wallet software update will continue and RVN will soon be able to be safely stored using any of the REAL Ballet wallets.
