Baikal is releasing a new 480KH/s cryptonight-light miner.  Is there going to be a PoW algorithm change?

The post from higher up on this page (by Smooth) is about the upcoming fork to nullify these asics.  There are already asics on the market that are mining AEON now, so Baikal's new unit doesn't really make any difference at this point.

@smooth. The release notes does not mention LMDB but I assume that it is already included in this upgrade? I would like to run another node on an old computer with 2GB of RAM and locate it at home.

It's definitely included. You might need slightly more than 2GB of ram to compile, but swap will suffice.

This is a great project, the price of this coin is easily uplifted, so don't sell it cheaply, waiting for a huge leap in the price of Aeon.

It was mentioned but under how to upgrade the daemon, at the bottom of the release notes hehe. In any case I can always take ram from another computer if needed.

@smooth. There are low hashrate cryptocoins that were attacked this year and it is becoming a trend among hackers. Monacoin, Verge, Electroneum and bitcoin gold all attacked. We might be next.

Are you open to the idea of merge mining with Monero for protection?

[sammy007]

Merge mining is a bullshit, second coin worth nothing, a bonus. Scammy pools like minergate will claim all shit and dump on exchanges, their customers are retards and whole business is conversion of idiotism to fortune. Learned from VTC + Monocle, second coin goes to zero.

Only price can save from 51 for now, so buy as much as you can afford to multiply by 10 to attract more GPU miners /s.

Hello,
Since block 961340, my internal blockchain is no longer updated.
I am using the current cmd-version 0.12.0.0 and have re-downloaded the blockchain with the current version

Below the status message:

2018-05-30 14:17:33.663 [P2P3]  INFO    global  src/cryptonote_protocol/cryptonote_protocol_handler.inl:310     [176.9.117.76:11180 OUT] Sync data returned a new top block candidate: 961340 -> 962048 [Your node is 708 blocks (1 days) behind]

SYNCHRONIZATION started

and so on....

I have done this also with a backup and it stops syncing with block 961340. Is there a known problem?

I don't think this is an absolute. For coins that have a solid userbase (Doge) or coins with a specific or unique usecase (that is actually used, not Namecoin) (Rootstock) merge-mining doesn't seem to be a negative. I'm not saying merge mining is a good idea here, but I'd say Aeon is closer to Doge than Monocle (which was launched expressly to be merged toy chain).

Tell me, will the algorithm be changed in June? Can the miners be discarded?

Doge already almost mined out AFAIK, make sense to be an LTC slug being in a danger of 51% from scrypt LTC miners due to low block reward and price.
And Doge is so stupid since day 1 also, mostly held by people who really can afford to lose it all, so no panic dumps.

Buying as much as we can would also be a big risk for us. We are not whales like americanpegasus, who can move the price in the direction he wants.

Also buying would not assure enough hashpower comes in to make it safe from a 51% attack.

Reading the first 5 posts on this thread is just funny. They criticize this coin but look what it is now.

Ok, let's wait for the fork.

Beautifully said: "Aeon is not a cryptocurrency. It's a way of life."I want to get more information about the project, its goals and objectives, but the Roadmap is still in development. I'll keep an eye out for updates. Perhaps there will be something revolutionary!

I downloaded and installed the new version of Aeon, on Ubuntu 64 bit, and downloaded the blockchain with out any issue.

I used "./aeon-wallet-cli --restore-deterministic-wallet"

I used my original aeon seed words that I have used since the beginning, it seemed to work and it has the same wallet address, the same view key but different seed words in the output after the wallet is restored than I used to restore it.?  

Is that the expected result?

Currently doing the first refresh from the beginning and its not done yet.

EDIT: It seems to work ok, shows transactions now.

The format for the seed words has been updated with the rebase. The format of the old seed with 24 words (now deprecated) is referred to as "EnglishOld" and has a different set of words than the new format with 25 words called "English" (see https://github.com/aeonix/aeon/blob/master/src/mnemonics/english_old.h vs https://github.com/aeonix/aeon/blob/master/src/mnemonics/english.h).

The new format also supports multiple languages. You can choose a different language for the seed words by typing 'set seed language' in aeon-wallet-cli.

[estenity]

so  the new wallet needs a good computer updated: for example

-does not work with 32 bits
-for ubuntu, version 17.10 or higher...

do you know other requirements ?

Does anyone know how to fix the aeon-gui wallet background? It's all garbled text or code in the background that makes it really hard to use it.  The Monero GUI wallet was the same the last time I used that too.
