[ANN] AEON: Cryptonote privacy, efficiency, decentralization, and stability

[canibalgb]

1. Please consider using a smaller pool to spread the hash rate around or use the stratum proxy if you enough hash rate to solo mine. As long as you can get blocks 'regularly' (whatever that  means to you), you don't need to swarm onto the same pool as everyone else. A healthier mining network that is decentralized will improve confidence in the coin.

2. Hash rate for AEON should be higher than XMR on the same hardware. The ratio depends on the hardware.

Please could you indicate a good miner for win10, and a good pool?

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

An AMD FX 8120 will probably get somewhere near ~600 Hashrate at stock settings (Windows 10 Pro with locked pages enabled). It's probably worth mining with it if that PC is already going to be running for other purposes, but I don't know if I would run the PC solely to mine AEON on that CPU.

no problem at first sight with windows compilation. the usual instructions are ok.

Code:

git clone https://github.com/aeonix/aeon.git aeon-0.9.13.0
cd aeon-0.9.13.0
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" -DBOOST_ROOT=c:/local/boost_1_64_0 ..
msbuild Project.sln /p:Configuration=Release /m

tested with: gitshell, boost 1.64 static, python 3.5, cmake 3.8.0, microsoft visual studio 2015 rtm

Daberti's guide is still relevant and useful : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=641696.msg18754693#msg18754693

Thank you! I will try to compile the new version later after when I arrive home. But can I continue running version 0.9.12.0? Just in case I do not have any success in compiling it. My node is in a Windows PC and I do not have confidence compiling sources in it. They are much easier to do in Linux.

As long as you can get blocks 'regularly' (whatever that  means to you), you don't need to swarm onto the same pool as everyone else. A healthier mining network that is decentralized will improve confidence in the coin.

2. Hash rate for AEON should be higher than XMR on the same hardware. The ratio depends on the hardware.

Thanks for the feedback smooth! I agree with your first statement and have done that on other coins with good results, so will highly consider going with sumominer pool instead.

On point 2, that's what I was hoping to hear, so really eager to get at least 1 of my rigs up and running on AEON to see what it can do.

Do you have any recommendation mining-wise for AMD GPUs?

OK, so I feel like I am making a bit of progress towards getting a miner set up but would like to ask for some validation to make sure I am on the right track...

1- Pool:  planning to go with sumominer pool - I went there to try and register but don't see anywhere to do that. For these pools, can I therefore assume it's the non-registration model that just uses your wallet address to both track your rewards and paste into the code of the miner?  I think Ethermine is the same like this... just want to make sure I dont need to register on the pool.

2- I have an AEON wallet on Bittrex but of course that has been down for what seems like forever. So. I rezlized I need to create a new wallet somehow. I found the win64 AEON ZIP v0.9.12 off the official site and unpacked it.  I ran the aeond.exe and it just now completed synchronizing after a little under 2 hours.

From here, I understand I need to run the simplewallet.exe to set up my wallet.

3- After I get that address, I should be able to configure a miner, correct?

I have downloaded wolf GPU AEON miner .2 from github and unzipped it. This is quite a bit different from recent Claymore miners but this is what I THINK needs to be done to configure for AEON mining:

- open aeon.conf file in text editor
- replace "url" with:  stratum+tcp://aeon.sumominer.com:3335
- replace "user" address with my own wallet address created above
- save and exit config file
- run miner.exe

so... are those steps correct?  is there anything else that needs to be done in that config file?

I think I finally found the answers:

(2) https://minergate.com

Thx.

so... are those steps correct?  is there anything else that needs to be done in that config file?

OK... so I just tried all of the above but it doesn't work. When I try to launch the miner.exe, it looks like very brief flash of window pops up but then disappears. I also trying running as Admin. This is a rig that I have been mining ETH & XMR on, so there should be no interference from things like virus software. Windows defender is the only thing on their but that has always come up with a prompt well after a new miner has been launched.

Clearly I have missed some critical piece but not sure what it is.  Do I need to enter other things into that config file like Algo, Pool, etc?

One thing I just thought of... I ran that aeonD blockchain sync on a different PC than the one I am trying to run the miner on.  Do I need to do that sync on each PC that I intend to mine on?  If so, does it need to keep running while miner is going or can it be exited after initially synced?

Try using the miner and steps shown in this thread.  I haven't used Wolf's miner, but I think it's similar. Or you could just use this one: https://github.com/shyba/aeon-stak-amd

It's a bit different, but if you check the readme and instructions it's not to bad to set up.

Thanks for this information.
But I have two problems. After the win64 exe files were generated, the v0.9.13.0 aeond.exe cannot open the block chain data synced by v0.9.12.0, and the v0.9.13.0 simplewallet.exe cannot open the old wallet. How can I transfer the money out ?

By the way, I have tried to transfer aeons from v0.9.12.0 wallet to hitbtc exchange, but the hash cannot be found in minergate blockchain info. What's happened?

Can we install the update with Homebrew (per your Github) or do we first have to install the base wallet and then??? (Excuse my ignorance here, been a while...)

Thanks...

I am author of homebrew formula, updated formula to v0.9.13.0

Install:

Code:

brew tap sammy007/cryptonight
brew update
brew install aeon

Update:

Code:

brew update
brew upgrade aeon

Thanks for the reply. Can you/anyone help with this error? (I am no expert and don't actually understand the suggested move.)

when aeond.exe is unable to open a previous blockchain, it's usually correlated to difference between boost version.
0.9.12.0 official win64 binaries are using boost 1.63. i used boost 1.64 to compile 0.9.13.0 and all was fine. aeond 0.9.13.0 read successfully the 0.9.12.0 blockchain.
check your boost version.

and to recover your old wallet, delete the name_of_your_wallet file (it's a cache of your wallet history) and keep the name_of_your_wallet.keys file, simplewallet will regenerate your wallet history from scratch.
warning: the .keys file is the most important file, without it you lost your wallet!

Where can I find the windows and turn on when on Bittrix wallet

[daberti]

Thanks for this information.
But I have two problems. After the win64 exe files were generated, the v0.9.13.0 aeond.exe cannot open the block chain data synced by v0.9.12.0, and the v0.9.13.0 simplewallet.exe cannot open the old wallet. How can I transfer the money out ?

By the way, I have tried to transfer aeons from v0.9.12.0 wallet to hitbtc exchange, but the hash cannot be found in minergate blockchain info. What's happened?

This is a question to be asked to the devs.

[daberti]

I compiled 0.9.13 following exactly my own guide AND against Boost 1_63_0 .
All is working smoothly.

Now some question to the devs, just to be up to date: why did Bittrex lock Aeon wallet?
What is the current roadmap for Aeon?

TIA

fake bittrex pump this project is absurd
