[ANN] AEON [2018-07-12: update to 0.12.5.0+]

[ollsanek]

Could someone tell how to compile AEON wallet from source to Linux Ubuntu.

I think you should basically just need to install cmake, boost libraries, and build-essential package, cd into aeon directory and type "make"

Pretty much this and there is also some information in the README

any expirience aeon with openbsd ?

Anyone here that can sell AEON?
I do not have account in the listed exchanges, and have no plans to do so.
Thank you.

HitBTC does not require verification to trade any amount at all

That's really good.
Thank you.

Anybody knows if ring ct will be implemented in AEON, for hiding the amount?

@overboost. RingCT is still a long way out there as far as Aeon is concerned. Smooth needs to concern himself with the code rebase first and hopefully implement LMDB together with it.

In any case, the rebase will require thorough audits on the testnet. That would mean RingCT development will come after 2 to 3 years at the current workrate done on Aeon.

FWIW the preliminary code for RingCT was already added to Aeon: https://github.com/aeonix/aeon/pull/38
I guess it's not a matter of implementing it, rather a matter of testing and deploying it.

[bbc.reporter]

No, deploying RingCT without deploying LMDB first would be a bad mistake. RingCT increases the block size, so RAM requirements of at least 8GB for nodes will only increase exponentially, which is not good.

I also assume that LMDB will be implemented together with the code rebase. That means the wait for RingCT will be longer than expected.

@stoffu, i wasn't aware of that, but if ringct will be succesfully implemented, aeon will look even more promising.

@bbc.reporter, thank you.

In other news, has anyone else had problems staying connected to aeon-pool.com in the past couple of days? We keep getting Error Socket Closed messages and haven't been able to mine on the majority of our CPUs.

On my linux desktop xmrig runs 24/7 (mine.aeon-pool.com:5555), no issues.

We switched to sumominer pool and so far have not had any disconnects (about 36 hours now). We are using the most recent version of aeon stak cpu miner for what it's worth. We had this same issue on aeon-pool a couple of months ago, but it cleared up on it's own within a day back then.

I am using the xmrigCC and it is the best cpu miner for cryptonight and cryptonight-lite. With other miner I was doing around 1700h/s on aeon but with the xmrig mining with 2080h/s. The dev is really good and he know his stuff and the optimization is too good. The miner even got dashboard on which it it easy to keep track on the miners and you can chage config files without even connecting to the miner itself. So I highly recommended it.

There is a new version on XMR Stak out by FireIce not sure if you have seen that. All in one miner bother CPU and GPU

@overboost. Not a problem. But read my latest post above yours. So until we see LMDB implemented, then do not expect RingCT to be deployed.

But I reckon there is a reason for that. Smooth may have other plans for Aeon. He might be willing to sacrifice privacy for more portability on mobile devices.

@smooth. Care to comment?

[purgs08]

not supported to my linux error to lunch the program . what happen ? it is have an error

[bbc.reporter]

@purgs08. What kind of errors are you having? Give us the full details so we can help you. But from what you are saying, I reckon you are having a problem of compiling it from source.

What distribution of Linux are you using?

[realediston]

I am looking to buy 1500 Aeon for 0.25 BTC

Can anyone help please?

Why do we seem to not get blocks on time as the difficulty rises?

Whats causing this? it seems like a pretty bad issue? My pool is at 250-300% for a block

Been up to 500% before and I have even seen it at 700%

I have seen blocks not being found for over 45 minutes in the past. Right now it is the same?

Anyone able to give insight into why this happens?

This might answer your question:)

Thanks seems we really need to get above 100Mh/s as a network to fight against these attacks

I have not enough space on system disk.
How I can change cache storage of blockchain.dat?

Open notepad, type "aeond --data-dir <D:\DIRECTORY\YOU\WANT\TO\STORE\BLOCKCHAIN\TO>" without the <> and "", save as, change .txt file type to all, change the name of the file to "anything.bat" and save it to the folder you have aeond in, run it and it should start syncing the blockchain to that directory.

Just run that instead of aeond whenever want to use your wallet. It might be forward / instead of \ I am not sure

Hey guys,

I know I could have posted this on reddit too but decided to post here since if it is something critical smooth might take a look.

So long story short this morning(11:10 in the log file) I had the aeond and simplewallet open was checking my balance but executed shutdown command without exiting both.

Now  a couple of hours later(19:02) I tried to log into my wallet and I get the following errors in the log file:

I do have backup of the wallet so it is not critical or anything. Just figured out if it is a bug I could draw smooth's attention to check it.
