Ravencoin

Overview

When developing with Ravencoin, you're essentially engaging with the blockchain to store and retrieve data. Here’s a simplified roadmap:

1. Initialization: Everything starts with your 12-word backup phrase, which secures your blockchain wallet.
2. Address Generation: From these 12 words, you create addresses that represent destinations for Ravencoin transactions.
3. Balance Inquiry: Check how much Ravencoin you have by looking up the balance of your addresses on the blockchain.
4. Making Transactions:
   • Gather all Unspent Transaction Outputs (UTXOs) associated with your addresses. UTXOs are like individual bills or coins in a conventional wallet.
   • Select enough UTXOs to cover your intended transaction.
   • Create a raw transaction using the createrawtransaction RPC call, specifying the UTXOs to spend and the transaction's recipients.
   • Sign this transaction to prove ownership of the UTXOs.
   • Broadcast the signed transaction to the Ravencoin network to complete the transfer.
