Are there any restrictions on who can participate in mining or trading activities on the network and if so what are they ?
Yes, there are restrictions on who can participate in mining and trading activities on the Ravencoin network.
Mining: In order to mine Ravencoin, miners must have a minimum of 500 RVN coins in their wallet. This is to prevent malicious actors from using large amounts of computing power to attack the network. Additionally, miners must also have a valid address and be running a compatible version of the Ravencoin software.
Trading: When it comes to trading activities, there are no specific restrictions imposed by the Ravencoin network itself. However, many exchanges that offer Ravencoin trading may have their own restrictions in place. For example, some exchanges may require users to provide proof of identity before they can trade RVN coins.
Additionally, some exchanges may also impose limits on how much RVN can be traded at any given time.
