Thats a typo. The actual account was always u/smooth_xmr I'm still around, just haven't had time to pay attention to aeon. No, I didn't run off with the fund (if someone wants to verify on the chain, the enormous output that I made for proof-of-reserves a while back has likely never been used at all since there are none other of that size that would have used it as a decoy). What are the most urgent things that need to be done? I'll try to free up some time if needed. Glad to know that you didn’t disappear silently. I don’t think there’s anything urgent right now, but IMO the real problem is that your responsiveness as a project maintainer is worryingly low. Quoting from https://github.com/aeonix/aeon/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md: The codebase is intentionally kept close to Monero's in order to benefit from the higher code reliability due to the larger source of peer reviewing available in Monero.
The above goal is achieved through the continuous effort of merging upstream improvements.
We’re supposed to continue updating the codebase till it catches up with Monero. The speed of update doesn’t have to be fast, but it should at least appear to be steady and alive. Your becoming inactive unexpectedly for more than 6 months is not good. From this experience I realized that the fact that smooth is the only one who has control over the official github repos and the website, is a bad practice; if he dies suddenly we’re in trouble. I think we should have multiple people with the backup maintainer role. I think Monero does this way (not sure about other smaller coins like Wownero). |

thank you stoffu in effect there is present inactivity of smooth in posting for example https://nitter.net/aeoncoin and this thread i concur with you so say that as a community we have to do something. If smooth is to keep silence indefinitely, that means we would lose - the donation fund amounting to 445k AEON + 0.81 BTC, according to https://github.com/aeonix/aeon/issues/215
- control of the aeon.cash website (i.e., unless smooth cooperates and merges changes, that website can’t get updated)
The former is unfortunate but we just have to accept it. The latter means we’d need to create a new "official" github account and a website. Preferably we’ll also need a new maintainer that is not me who merges changes proposed by me and other developers. Is there anyone willing to take this role? |

a pity to let die a good project..
Project won’t die unless all seed nodes are shut down and no nodes running. That old i3 running in grandmas basement will keep on chugging along forever. There just really isn’t anyone working on the project the last two years other than stoffu pushing some commits to keep the code somewhat behind Monero in a feasible way. any hint of smooth ? Smooth’s inactivity has been strange. He does seem alive though, as the bitcointalk user profile page https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=13813 says Last Active: November 26, 2023, 04:05:13 AMAlso, assuming the Twitter account https://twitter.com/AeonCoin belongs to him, that account also replies actively. Anyway, if smooth insists on his inactivity, I think we as a community need to do something about it. What do you think? |

@smooth
What is blocking the merge of those open pull requests on the CLI/GUI repos?
|
|

Stoffu, the Discord link needs to be updated on the website when you do a PR for the new m1 support release. I can send you an updated link that helps with annoying bots joining the server and puts new users in a higher moderated channel not the General channel.
Please send a pull request to the website repo yourself. |

Hey smooth/stoffu, I noticed that the base block reward has been stuck at 1.200 for the last 105 days after smoothly decreasing continuously up to that point . This does not appear correct since it should smoothly decline until 0 then tail emissions kicks in. Block height 1511655 http://209.126.84.37:8081/block/1511655. Any thoughts on this? This is correct. Tail emission ensures that the base reward is no less than 0.3 AEON per minute = 1.2 AEON per block (our block time is 4 min). The base reward declines smoothly to this level, not zero. BTW sorry for my inactivity these days -- my day job environment changed quite a bit and it's difficult to allocate time for AEON, for now. But this doesn't mean my interest has shifted elsewhere. If any severe issue arises, I'll try to respond as best as I can. Thanks for chiming in. So it sounds like Aeon is technically on tail emissions now? That is correct. |

any perspective there ?
I plan to try porting the atomic swap tool to Aeon in the near future. |

devs, tradeogre is fully functional,
but please find another solution, DEX or swap structure;
@stoffu, do you know if the atomic swaps that exist on Monero are feasible for AEON? Perhaps we should also try to get some more centralized exchanges, though I agree time may be passing them by. But for now they are still useful. Maybe we could offer a bounty structure for community members to recruit exchanges? @smooth As far as I understood from reading the blog post by the COMIT team https://comit.network/blog/2020/10/06/monero-bitcoin/ explaining the inner workings of the software https://github.com/comit-network/xmr-btc-swap, the key to making the swap possible is the zero-knowledge proof scheme proposed by Sarang Noether that proves that a pair of public keys on Monero and Bitcoin share the same secret key. Since Aeon uses the same elliptic curve as Monero (curve25519), I believe the same scheme is applicable to Aeon as well (also to any other CryptoNote coins). |

Speaking of mining, is anybody looking at porting the Monero p2pool to aeon? It would likely work even better here given the verification-friendly PoW, lower barrier to running a node, etc.
Interesting, I haven't been following those recent developments. Unfortunately, it seems to use some relatively recent functionality related to ZMQ and I think porting the changes to the aeon code (which is far behind monero) is rather difficult. https://github.com/SChernykh/monero/commit/dfee15eee18a97be5a8fb9822527f98ebd1b33e9Hmm, that didn't look so complicated, it's adding a few requests, right? Are we missing ZMQ altogether or something? First of all, I'm not knowledgeable about networking protocols including ZMQ. The aeon codebase currently has zmq_server.cpp/h, so I think there is some kind of ZMQ functionality, but the above monero code makes changes to zmq_pub.cpp/h which doesn't exist in aeon yet. If we were to adopt the code, we'd first need to merge any relevant upstream patches that eventually introduce zmq_pub.cpp/h. I imagine there will be lots of merge conflicts while cherry picking those commits out of order compared to monero. Currently the P2Pool in monero has less than 3% of the total hashrate - the network is still dominated by large pools. I don't see much value in enabling P2Pool for aeon right now when the adoption is so low. I imagine the usage of it to be very low unless aeon mining becomes extremely popular. |

@stoffu @smooth
Can you add to the automated build bot to add 16.04 and 18.04 the build single thread build for validating block explorer builds that are required for onion explorer to properly compile?
Open a ticket in the issue tracker. Maybe I will be able to do so if I find time, or someone else will. |

I know for at least TradeOgre that that do not allow withdrawals to payment ID. I haven’t used bittrex in a while but I think they were the same last time I used them. I’ve never used HItBTC so I can’t say whether they do or don’t allow payment id withdrawals but if OP has a payment id then I assume they do
TradeOgre does allow withdrawal with a payment ID as I checked just now. |

hello I was send my coins from HitBTC to bittrex a couple hours ago but nothing happen
Transaction hash: f41cea057dd81aded27ce61e322e9b4caa8377fe9abe11ca4bdcff522eff7181
on the block explorer I do not see nothing
hitbtc saying that all was withdrow
It’s highly unlikely that an exchange would allow cross exchange transfers. Considering bittrex typically uses a standard deposit address and also a payment ID specific to user, it’s a good chance that the funds were either sent to the main address only with nonpayment id or hitbtc just didn’t send it. I don't see why an exchange wouldn't allow transfer to another exchange. I see the said tx in the explorer http://162.210.173.150/search?value=f41cea057dd81aded27ce61e322e9b4caa8377fe9abe11ca4bdcff522eff7181 with long payment ID a24dd10766304e46b32aa18177c25d5df911a33900f748b385cbb09b53fe8af8. If this payment ID is indeed what Bittrex assigned to you and Bittrex still doesn't recognize your deposit, then it could be either HitBTC or Bittrex is lying. |

Finally, I was able to connect using a remote node and deposit and withdraw successfully.
Thank you all for your help.
It is still concerning that your local node couldn't start synchronizing. Also, relying on a remote node run by someone you don't know is not recommended. To check whether this problem is Aeon-specific or not, please try running Monero's daemon ( https://github.com/monero-project/monero/releases) and see if it starts synchronizing. |
