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

[stoffu]

For those who tried to sync aeond from scratch and couldn't go beyond the height 1000 with lots of "alternative chain, block height: 406" message, please try the following:

• Delete the Aeon blockchain folder
• Run aeond with --add-exclusive-node 34.205.171.63:11180 (one of the public nodes listed here https://aeon.wiki/Node )
• Wait for a bit until it shows CHECKPOINT PASSED FOR HEIGHT 1000 <bc6458452fd0575a314089bf302f6fd68ebaa2d689c42f3365293b96bbdf1f25>
• Stop aeond and run it again without --add-exclusive-node

There might be some issue that needs fixing.

Use the latest AEON-0.9.14.0-WIN64 and have 1000 height issue. Can not download blockchain from zero, got stuck at 1000 blocks. Is it possible to download updated aeon blockchain from somewhere? Tryed the node above and all public nodes from the list and they are not working for me. What am I doing wrong?

My aeon.bat file:

Code:

aeond --add-exclusive-node 34.205.171.63:11180

The result:

Code:

Tryed with official node from the public list:

Code:

My above post was slightly incorrect in that the IP address of a public node may change over time due to Dynamic DNS. You need to get the latest valid IP address by using the 'nslookup' command or web services like https://mxtoolbox.com/DNSLookup.aspx

I sent AEON minergate to Hitbtc. Not arrived. Can something be known about the problem?      

Try to wait a little longer.

Network hashrate exploding ...  Very soon it won't be worth it to mine AEON.

[Chatelleyma]

There will be dividends for customers?

[korm]

If the price rises, then this is not so important. But so far not all as we would like.

keep getting

2018-Jan-02 ... [P2P7]Block with id: <9135f7c24d67fc7ad618e231ce2d38f59307b50ae2b23e3aa8640f02aebf0f45>
 can't be accepted for alternative chain, block height: 406
 blockchain height: 899127
2018-Jan-02 ... [P2P7][...:11180 OUT]Block verification failed, dropping connection

Chain is almost synched but every few minutes I get that.

Do I have the wrong block at that height and should redownload?

Always same hash and block 406.

I'm waiting for 4 days to get the coins on Bittrex. I sent 2,000, at a time, the transaction is divided into parts and only one part, exactly 153, came to the exchange.
I tried to delete p2pstate.bin and poolstate.bin but there was no money in the wallet, and on Bittrex too.

What are the updates on the code rebase? Is there a rough timeline that we can follow? I reckon the people working on it do not have the experience in Cryptonote related projects, how can smooth make sure that they can really do it?

[SafeCoins]

Hi there,

I'm putting together an evaluation matrix of all notable Anonymous/Private cryptocurrencies, and could use your help clarifyiing Aeon.    Feedback including reference to something official (website, whitepaper etc) or Dev comments (or devs themselves) would be very much appreciated.

Thank you!

Everyone is welcome to try. If they don't produce anything of value then nothing is lost.

I'm a little disappointed with the lack of visible progress. If there isn't any soon I will start pushing some of my own work to the rebase repo. If that means I end up entitled to the bounty (which as mentioned earlier may be divided among usefully contributing efforts) it will go back into the donation fund.

Hello! For a more stable price. Can AEON - USDT change Hitbtc?

Delete p2pstate.bin and try again

Lost my RAID with blockchains recently.

Tried to send trans via public node - trans disappeared.
Tried to run local daemon - stuck at block 1000.

WTF guys?
WTF???

Spent 20 hours restoring wallets, blockchain - no luck.

Have anybody seen fresh blockchain bootstrap for win-x64?

I also had a problem with blockchain sync stacked at block 999. Fixed by moving daemon to drive C: and running in PowerShell with admin rights. Then it took 4 hours to sync full blockchain.

[eeX]

Thanks, will check it right now!
