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

[yaffa01]

Okay, so if we're going to get Aeon relisted on Poloniex it has to have a website. Any recent progress in that area?

Many people have contacted them over the last few months--so they are aware. I ask every few weeks, just because you never know--I've also asked if someone wants to add an aeon depository on cryptokingdom as this would likely take coins off the market, as it did with XMR (currently ~1% of all monero are on crypto kingdom) and introduce a new set of investors to aeon.

I like the crypto kingdom idea for AEON

Would recommend trying to get AEON added to ShapeShift.io as I think CK is trying to integrate their API so that multiple altcoin to CK currency transactions are possible.

might be .....it will so but if ever i concern it does not seems to me.

Thank you very much for kind welcome and huge help.

I'm looking forward contributing to community.

If you need a pool for mining, I can recommend these guys:

https://aeon.kryptopool.com/#getting_started

They have helpful information for getting your miner pointed at their pool correctly and I can vouch for being paid every time I mine there.

Regarding the stak-cpu miner; roughly what kind of increase does it get? I haven't used it yet because I didn't want to make all the lock-pages settings if it wasn't really worth the effort, I mine other coins with my rigs and was worried it might effect those miners and I would have to undo it.

Any pre and post comparisons would be appreciated, thanks

Recently thehihoguy announced a new pool:

(Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Aeon/comments/6bfvz4/new_aeon_pool_in_amsterdam_available/)

Let's spread the hashrate!

Appreciate it, but I would recommend to mine on another place for today at least. I have currently an error on the pool. It run out of memory though it has 2 gb ram and 10 gb swapfile.
Error: out of memory, kill process aeond
Have to check it tonight since im at work right now. So means i can have a proper look on it only in about 8-10 h.

Yesterday the pool was still working fine and paid the miner. Now it seems stuck and doesnt pay out. Be assured though that as soon as i have access tonight, i will make sure the system pays out again or i will do it manually. The pending balance of the miner is logged and therefor im aware what is missing.

Regarding the stak-cpu miner; roughly what kind of increase does it get?

Any pre and post comparisons would be appreciated, thanks

As for CPU, the difference between latest cpuminer-opt (maintained by Joblo, search for it here) and stak on i5-4570 is: 375H/s vs 720H/s. Please note that on aeon-stack-cpu u get the maximum speed not on "thread count = L3 size / 1Mb", e.g. on 6 threads using Core i5, but on 3 double threads:

"cpu_threads_conf" : [
   { "low_power_mode" : true, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 0 },
   { "low_power_mode" : true, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 1 },
   { "low_power_mode" : true, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 2 },
]

This example config is the best for i5 processor. On i7, try four similar threads.

As for GPUs, I can't compare. Both W0lf's miner and Arux's fork do not work on my AMD cards (Polaris 11), I just get banned for invalid shares everywhere. Tried any intensity, worksize, drivers etc. - it's always the same result. So, that's the only miner I can use for now. If you're interested, each of RX460-2GB cards gives 607-610H/s (that's the maximum I could achieve), don't know why there's some 2-3H/s difference between 8 absolutely identical cards. That's h/w side I guess.

I have started with that pool, nothing earned yet. If nothing happens in the few days I need to check my settings.
I was fixing some issues with my pc so I was not mining all the time.

First I start aeond, wait for sync,
after that start wallet, input wallet name and pass, and I get
Refresh done, blocks received: 116
balance: 0.000000000000, unlocked balance: 0.000000000000

After that I start pool miner cryptonote-easy-miner_v0.0.3 with host aeon.sumominer.com and correct address of my wallet and I get mining started on 4 cores and I get (Hope Im doing it right):

You won't see anything in the wallet until you reach the pool payout threshold and the pool makes a payment to you.

Most pools have a way you can access your pending balance on the web site.

That's h/w side I guess.

I went from 1450 with cpuminer-opt using all 15/16 threads to 1840 with stak using 8/16 threads, on my Ryzen 1700X @ 4.0ghz. With cpuminer-opt I could use 8/16 threads for about 1050 hashrate. Using 8/16 threads on either miner leaves the PC usable for just about any (non gaming) daily activity with no lagging.

As smooth mentioned you can access stats on the website. In case of aeon.sumominer.com go to "Home" Tab and look at the "Your Stats & Payment History" part. Enter your view key of the wallet and press "Lookup". Now you see your hashrate and how much you mined already.

If you dont know your view key public wallet address anymore, either check out the file [walletname].address.txt in your aeond folder or enter "address" in your simplewallet.
https://wiki.bytecoin.org/wiki/Simplewallet_command_line_arguments_and_commands

About my pool, no its not local, its just a pool like any other:)
For choosing a pool its mostly about 3 things for me:
- Treshold of payment (Tab: Payments) which indicates how much you need to mine before the pool pays you out
- Total pool fee + core Dev donation (Tab: Home) how much the pool deducts from your mining for maintenance cost and supporting the devs. The total pool fee includes the core dev donation/pool core dev donation.
- hashrate, make sure the pool doesnt have over 50% of the total hashrate of aeon, else its bad for the decentralization, i.e. bad for aeon in general

hope this helps a lil with understanding

This 4_per_thread branch achieves further magical speedup

Well, with settings bruteforced, I've seen around 25% increase using half of my cores. It's useful for the ones who mines on PC which is in regular use. So, u get 50% CPU usage on the system, and maxed-out speed for these 50%. As for full CPU usage, I got ~15% speed drop over previous builds. Won't use this one.

Yeah, it helped a lot. Thank you. I have been here only few days and I have already learned a lot.
My address still shows not found, but I guess its still early for any payments. I think I have been mining maybe 30 hours only with 2c 4t pentiium. This is what my cryptonote miner shows now:

Your address still shows not found, because you didn't submit any valid hashes.
AEON don't uses the cryptonight algorithm. It uses cryptonight-lite.
Go to the Getting Started section of the pool and download a proper miner.
I use the CPUMiner (forked by Wolf). The first one in this page: https://github.com/Arux-BTT/CPUMiner-Multi-cryptonight-light/releases/tag/04082015
Did you mention your processor (to see what hashes you can expect)?

Maybe I didnt reach minimum threshold yet.

Post the error, or create an issue on github. 16.04 at a minimum should work.
