[ANN] AEON [2018-11-30: update to 0.12.7.0+ ASAP; 0.12.8.0 on Windows]

[mohucool]

Guys what's upcoming news for Aeon, I hope it sees same growth as Monero in 2018 as Monero did this year or even better.

I noticed that hash rate increased so much in the last months... this means that with the same hardware I will mine less AEON, right ?

[overboost]

Right.
It's getting harder to mine.

[jbmustaq]

Here comes the reality where inequality comes.

some people would not agree with me but the fact is large hashrate miners get the cream and less hashrate miners bear the burnt of mining on high difficulty and the fact is No Dev gives a damn about it as I see old coins & new coins the emphasis on the features but they don't think about the small hashrate miners who keep mining and support a coin.

Just to let you know I am not criticising anybody here but it's my perception of how virtual coins work.

[stoffu]

I don't understand when people say a given coin is "easier" or "harder" to mine (assuming the PoW algorithm being the same). The more worth the coin, the higher the difficulty. The ratio between the capital in (electricity + equipment) and the capital out (mining reward) should stay roughly the same over a long enough time period.

Whether that mining reward will become worth more or less in the future, is just speculation.

Aeon is easier to mine with CPU compared to other coins thanks to the CryptoNight-Lite PoW algorithm, which is the main reason why I like this coin.

[Anthony1985]

How to store safely Aeon on a Mac? Is it possible to do it in a paper wallet? could I check the balance?

[bbc.reporter]

@Anthony1985. I reckon for anything Aeon related for the Mac, the best person to contact is sammy007. Keep in mind that I am only assuming that he is a Mac user because he made the bootstrap file for Mac OSX.

Both sides are right.
It is getting harder to mine (one gets fewer coins as difficulty is getting higher in time). Cannot combat this argument, but...
At the same time as you stated capital in vs out should be balanced, therefore it is not "harder".
It's like looking at a 9 or at a 6, depends on which side you are.
We are all speculators here.

[stoffu]

We are all speculators here.

Not everyone is speculating (on prices). I choose to get involved with Aeon and Monero because I see a real hope in here to make a difference in this corrupt world.

[korm]

I did not notice a big difference. ~1 dollar/day for 1kH/s

I did not expressed myself correctly. I wanted to point out that all these alts/btc ratio is like a big speculative investment.
I also believe in xmr and aeon, but i look at all cryptos as speculative, i'm not cashing out.

EDIT: Have you guys seen the unrealistic rise of sumokoin, in 2 days from $2 to $10.
I don't know what to say about the project, something is bugging me not to invest.

Hi everyone!

Sorry to cut in on the excitement...
I just wanted to let you know that I've fulfilled my commitment of 10,000 AEONs toward the rebase effort.
I've contacted Smooth and he suggested that I send it to the dev fund address to be distributed:

Here's the transactions

Code:

[wallet WmsiVi]: transfer 3 WmsSWgtT1JPg5e3cK41hKXSHVpKW7e47bjgiKmWZkYrhSS5LhRemNyqayaSBtAQ6517eo5PtH9wxHVmM78JDZSUu2W8PqRiNs 10000
Your transaction needs to be split into 3 transactions.  This will result in a fee of 0.030000000000.  Is this okay?  (Y/Yes/N/No)y

Yes that's right and I noted in replying that if for whatever reason the bounty isn't awarded then it will be returned from the donation fund to exciter0

why suddenly such a price jump?

[pulsedriver]

Still no GUI wallet?

[overboost]

why the hurry?
a lot of good coins had released gui after more than 1 year.
at this moment there are other issues to take care of.

We are excited with you!
Thanks for the commitment, I had a question on Reddit about using Coinhive with AEON instead of Monero, is it possible, if so how difficult would it be?
I will let my pc (and website if i can implement Coinhive AEON) mine into the future. Will keep stacking and using the netowork!

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

https://github.com/aeonix/aeon/issues/117#issuecomment-353502728

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
