Ravencoin hits record low as network exploit puts transactions at risk

Mining pools controlling most of Ravencoin’s hash rate are building a competing chain that could trigger a three-day reorganization. Ravencoin dropped to an all-time low on Wednesday as an exploited consensus vulnerability left several days of transactions at risk and prompted exchanges to suspend RVN transfers. Mining pools 2Miners and RavenMiner, which Ravencoin said control a majority of the network’s hash rate, are building a competing chain that excludes the exploited branch from that block onward.
