Many thanks to the OP for getting this thread going. I have mined many coins but AEON seemed a bit tricky to set up. I tried it a few weeks ago but couldn't get it running for some reason on any of my 4 rigs. But now I am ready to give it another try with the new STAK release and this thread.
I have already generated my AEON wallet a few weeks ago and just downloaded "XMR-AEON-SUMO-STAK 2.0". I have unpacked it and looked at the 2 .txt config files but I have a couple of questions that Im hoping someone can help me with"
1- Since there are 2 config files included, how does the .exe know which one to reference? Do i need to delete the "config" file and leave the "config - AEON" file intact if i want to mine AEON with this?
2- Within the config - AEON file, the only thing i need to do is replace the existing address with my own wallet address, correct? The pool and port are already what i want them to be (pool.aeon.hashvault.pro:5555) and the currency already shows "aeon".
Is there anything else that I need to do settings wise or in the config file or is that it?
FYI... I am running four 6x RX470 rigs on W10. Still running Crimson 16.10 as i've heard of too many nightmares with the Blockchain drivers.
Thanks in advance for the advice!

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in
Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it
will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

The AEON config is for easy start. Miner always use config.txt. For AEON rename config.txt and use the AEON one or edit the config.txt for AEON. Change cryptocurrency to AEON, add your wallet, pool and password. Doesn't matter which of these 2 options you will do. You can enable port for web stats. GPU and CPU config are separate in their own files. You can use same config as for Monero. |

I will just re-name my config - AEON file to Config as I've already updated those fields in it. However, what do you mean by "GPU and CPU config are separate in their own files"? I don't see any other files in the pack except dll's and and "nocpu.bat" but there are no parameters in the latter, seems just like a way to launch the .exe. If i have my GPUs already setup through afterburner and watt-tool, is that sufficient? or is there something else I need to do in the miner set up? |

It will auto create configs for GPUs and CPU after first start, then you can tweak intensity, worksize, threads, etc. |

Anyone know if Cast XMR works with AEON, I'm assuming no. I'd be cool seeing how much my seven card 14.2Kh/s vega rig hashes on cryptonote-light. Wanna see if it's exacly double what ETN and XMR gives me.

Why not use XMR-STAK then? You can try the newest 2.0. Cast uses same kernel as XMR-STAK I think, shouldn't be hard to port it anyway. |

how is the speed with video cards? same like monero? 1060 does 500?

Monero GPU hashrate x2 = AEON GPU hashrate I should probably make the bold font even bigger -_-  |

I would but XMR-STAK crashes my vega rig (only when I have more than 6 cards installed) for some odd reason. It starts to run normally but slowly starts to artifact until it BSOD and system crashes, but on the same sytem Cast XMR works fine. I'm sure there's some explanation as to why but I don't really wanna spend the time trying to figure it out since Cast seems to be working fine. |

What hardware are you using for such hashrates? My R9 280x are getting 1000h/s :/ On 15.7.1 drivers... I feel like this is a bad hashrate?
Modded RX cards can do 1600-2100H/s depends on cards, memory quality and timings. I’m building a 6 card rig and want to add a quality CPU for mining
What’s best bang for buck CPU everyone would recommend here and OS
Probably Ryzen, or if you don't care about power consumption some older i5, i7 or Xeon would be best. CPU need to have AES support! Hi guys, I have a i5 with 4 cores@3.4 Ghz + AES and I use xmrig with a1 algo. Usually I get ~600 H/s. Does it worth to upgrade to a better CPU, or use a video card? Please note, money are a issue, so upgrading will be limited. Thanks. |

Do you know a surprise mining Aeon?
Surface's Atom x7-Z8700. 160H/s on 2W, 2 threads...

On another subject I recently stated mining Aeon, as I realized Cryptonight-light is 4x faster on CPU's (actually Mattthev told me  ) On every CPU I tried it's actually true, hashrate is around 4x that of cryptonight (I used to mine monero and Intense Coin on CPU's). However, I have a Xeon E5645 that I thought it would be just fine for CPU mining (2.4 Ghz, 6 cores, 12 threads, 12 Mb L3, AES, triple channel memory, 80W TDP) but in reality is an underperformer. It gave ~200 H/s on Cryptonight, but when mining AEON, performance increase is around 3x (~600 H/s). I tried XMR-Stak 2.2 and now Aeon-Stack-CPU, same thing. That is with 10 threads, 11 and 12 are actually slower. For instance, Ryzen 1700 went from ~500 to almost 2000 in Cryptonight-light and a 2 core 15 W i7 7500u laptop went 130 to 500+ H/s. Now, that's the 4x were talking about. I know the i7 7500 is several generations ahead, but damn, that Xeon has 3x more cores and 3x more L3 cache, and it competes with the 2 core low power CPU I have on my laptop. Cryptonight and Cryptonight-light AFAIK use SSE and AES instructions that both CPU have. Am I doing something wrong, or is that the way that is? |

hi,
Is there a way i could use old GPU such as AMD HD 5770 for mining AEON?
I always got GPU compute error/errors in all of the miners.

Maybe with some old miner all those new use OpenCL 2.0, but your GPU doesn't support it. |
