[ANN] AEON: Scalable, private, mobile-friendly cryptocurrency

If you do any more tests like this please have the daemon in log level 2 (warning this may create some larger than usual log files) and save the wallet log file file. I don't suggest posting it since it might disclose some private information but perhaps you can send it to me privately to review it. Thanks.

Will do, cheers Smooth!

Is there open source software to set up a pool ? I recall having seen something posted here but can't seem to find it now.

Yes, here is the one moneromoo is using for his pool (includes various bug fixes, etc. on the mooo branch):

Is there any way to run a pool via Win 7 ?

Sure you can. If you have enough memory, get VMWare player or Virtualbox and install linux as a guest VM. Then install the pool software in guest.

get VMWare player or Virtualbox

Both of these are free BTW, for people who aren't familiar.

Is normal that if i give the command bc_height (that i suppose shows the last block downloaded) shows 401 and doesn't change even after 1 hour? i have 7 peers and no idea about how is possible...

bc_height is a wallet command. In order to update the wallet view of the blockchain you need to use refresh or exit and reenter the wallet.

An alternative is the diff command in the daemon which shows real-time height and difficulty

I did it but it didn't changed anything... Well i suppose there is a bug somewhere that blocks all...

I did this before I stopped using Windows and switched to solely using Linux for anything related to crypto

Is there a way to mine this coin with gpu's any more or are we stuck mining with just cpu's .It's not worth mining anymore if i'm suck just using my cpu  I'v mined:9,130.310914581312 so far with my gpu's 4 7990's but im only geting around 3 a day mining with my cpu it's a amd fx 8120

Yes with nvidia (open source tsiv miner is updated). Apparently no with AMD since I don't think claymore has not updated his miner. If you want him to do that you should go over to his thread and ask him. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=638915.0

Thanks for the info. Sounds like it might be time to buy some nvidia cards .Any one have hashrate numbers for  nvidia

Its roughly double what Monero gets... so a 750 ti (standard) gets 250 h/s, Aeon gets ~520. You gotta tweak the settings a bit. I did some tweaking and they're on the #irc logs....

WTS 3x paysafecard 10eur for aeon, thanks.

I updated the OP with a reformat from myagui. Thanks for the help!

To me it looks a lot better, but feedback is welcome. Also I didn't double check the content of the edits so if there are any errors, please let me know and I'll fix them.

Thanks myagui, clean job, OP nice to read.

Have you noticed that one miner on minergate is owning the network? His hashrate seems to be 250kH/s while total network hash is 396kH/s. Not very secure situation indeed.

Is this some GPU mining farm or "fixed" miner or is someone exploiting the code? I'd really like to see computing power distributed over multiple pools/miners. How can one miner deliver such massive amount of computing power? With current price it's hardly paying off.

It's not that massive. It could be a GPU farm or a few hundred computers, or smaller number (probably <50) of servers (sysadmin, small botnet, etc.). I get right around 1000 h/s on one old i7.

As the network grows, relatively small (on a global scale) resources like this will become less individually significant. Beyond that and what moneromooo did to cap his pool's hashrate at a responsible level I don't see that a whole lot more can be done. The upcoming GUI will have built in mining but how many users of this coin are there, if they even all mined? We have to continue to grow to make a real difference.

I doubt there is an exploit since the modifications to the hashing code from regular cryptonight are quite small and none of the other cryptnight coins (including the more valuable ones; Monero is 100x more mined value) show evidence of such an exploit. Total mining on AEON is only about 50 USD/day! Hard to imagine that's the place you want to use your fancy new cryptonight exploit, but I guess you never know.

It could be a sign that claymore has released his miner privately
But seriously, CN-light (or lite?) doesn't offer too much of an advantage to GPU over CPU. As you've stated, it's roughly 50 or so of the high end servers... and more likely 100-200 AWS instances. Not massive at the network level but definitely massive for any one miner.  At the current value, it makes no sense for an investor to mine at this scale than to buy from an exchange.

I'm not so sure. To buy the number of coins they are mining would push the prices up at the exchange quite a lot (maybe - haven't done the sums), and in turn the hashrate would go up, and then price up more, etc. Maybe it makes sense to take an apparent hit by mining with a low difficulty/price....

Yeah I was thinking that, or using it himself. But I really wonder if the state of GPU mining is so poor that it makes sense to use all those GPUs to aggressively mine a $50/day coin. Maybe it is though, I'm pretty out of touch with that scene at this point.
