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

[bbc.reporter]

Thank you for the indepth reply. Ok, it was nothing but FUD after all. Maybe I was too quick to judge the Monerotard hehehe. But these days, calling FUD without any explanation why has already become so annoying. It shows that some people treat a cryptocoin like their religion. That should stop, it is not healthy hehe.

In any case, I am happy that all issues are fixed. Thank you.

Wow, this is a very big project

[estenity]

Hey team.I may be interested in seeing the progress of the project and looking this ICO success. Project indeed cool, let's see how the team in the project can make this ICO run smoothly.

there is not any ICO there, but an important code rebase, showing a big progress.

@smooth. How much is the projected reduction in hashpower once we do our own hard fork to kill ASICs mining? Monero lost 2/3.

Also, remember last year's surprising sudden increase in Aeon's hash power? It was not botnets, it was Bitmain testing their miners! Why didn't we foresee it?? hehe

How expediences is this decision? A high hashpower raises a cost price and, accordingly, a coins value.

More likely it is higher price that leads to higher hashpower

Monero lost more than that. They dropped almost and entire Gigahash from the network. A fricken gigahash!

Agreed, but this is a closed circle: high price attracts miners => complexity increases => production costs are increasing => reduced supply at current price => a market price rises.

This rule works for any POW-mining coins.

Monero has lost about 80-85%. I don't know how much AEON will lose. Obviously it is a much smaller coin so less attractive to very large miners (who would just drive up the difficulty against themself). Still likely some of AEON hash rate is ASICs, after all some of the products explicitly advertise CryptoNight-Lite support, they would have to at least 'tested' that.

I imagine that the network hashrate will drop significantly, but I personally don't think it will be as large of a percentage as it was for Monero. In any case I am looking forward to the rebase and fork in equal measure.

What are the Monero development team's thoughts on when ASICs, or more specifically Bitmain, started entering the Cryptonote mining space? Do you reckon that it might be longer than 3 months including testing?

Bitmain might have started mining XMR on November 2017 while tests started on July of the same year.

Some of those hash rate change are likely natural, due to price changes.

The best indicator is probably to look at profitability or some variant thereof. We can see that starting in early 2018 or possibly late 2017, profitability started a decline to lows not seen since 2016. That was probably due to ASICs starting to capture most of the hash rate, though when they started at a low hash rate share is impossible to say.

Hi

Is it possible to make aeond use swap?
I'm asking because my computer runs out of ram and freezes.
How much ram is required atm?

Thank you

Hi guys!

My principal wanna buy 100K AEON off-exchange.
PM me with your ask price.

Thanks.

[eeX]

Hey! Can me please, what advantages will I get if I have the tokens of your project?

AEON is real hard-mined coin.
Ask about hollow tokens at another places.

Best to contact smooth, americanpegasus here on bitcointalk/katiecharms in /r/aeon on Reddit and maybe sammy007. They may or may not sell that much coins but they might be able to point you to people who could.

What's wrong with using Bittrex hehehe?

Price probably?
But size for sure - Bittrex have 130K and Hitbtc 150K only.

uhm, mining at 30kh/s atm for 3 hours, only generated about 0.08aeon :s

is this coin really broken?

You need to provide a heck of allot more information if you want an answer to help solve your problem.  Please specify the details of your hardware, software, pool, etc... Regardless of the details you definitely need to mine for allot more then 3 hours before jumping to any conclusions. This applies to any and every coin, not just AEON.
