I personally started mining Ravencoin(rvn) after seeing it bitfly as one of the new mining pools but since then the amount of people joining the Ravencoin(rvn) chat servers and communities has increased tremendously. The leading cause of this new found interest in the 3 year old coin seems to be the by product of the bitcoin craze and the increasing popularity in tokenized securities. Another benefit to rvn's uptick is the low fees in comparison to bitcoin and eth and the new ability to create assets onto the network.
