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

[Elder III]

Sorry for this question, but ...

 I have update wallet since 0.9.11. I was excited by the launch of the new GUI official wallet, since the update.  
 I've start by two time to install the GUI Wallet, enter with my mnemonic seeds, try with Testnet or stagenet ... and each time, the wallet synch the blockchain ... BUT ... it's not my adress !!
 So it's not my wallet ... A new one is created each time ?!?  

What is the process to upgrade a old CLI wallet 0.9.14 to the new GUI wallet exactly ? and retreive the same wallet adress ?

I've also try to regenerate with Key file, but I have each time an error. 

I think if you have your old wallet.dat file in the right place for the GUI wallet it should just open that up normally.  Do you have any balance in the GUI wallet, and if so, does it match your old cli wallet balance?

You don’t want to choose the testnet or stagenet flags. Also, the old wallet file created by the 0.9.14 software is incompatible with the new software, so it’s easiest to restore the wallet from the wallet seed.

If you still see an error, please provide screenshots (with the seed and the keys masked). Your description is a little too brief.

There is no Wallet.dat in Aeon files, only blockchain.bin

When I start GUI Wallet for the first time, after language selection, there is three choices :

- Create new wallet (we don't want that here)

- Restore wallet from mnemonic seed (the one who seems to work, but infact not ! I've got a new wallet adress without my balance after put my seed !! and you have to choose Testnet or Stage Net during this step)

- Open a wallet file ( from a *.keys file, but the password is not recognized when I try with my *.keys file, which work perfectly in old CLI !)

A good interchange method by suggesting a diversification of comfort, convenience, conveniences and below expenses than other exchanges will build a tight competition in the stock exchanges for crypto players!

Good evening, fellows! I think It is a good project

There is no Wallet.dat in Aeon files, only blockchain.bin

blockchain.bin is in the old file format and cannot be used. You need to delete it or move it elsewhere.

- Restore wallet from mnemonic seed (the one who seems to work, but infact not ! I've got a new wallet adress without my balance after put my seed !! and you have to choose Testnet or Stage Net during this step)

No, you don't have to choose Testnet or Stagenet. Clicking already checked button will uncheck the selection. Testnet and Stagenet addresses start with Um and Sm, respectively.

- Open a wallet file ( from a *.keys file, but the password is not recognized when I try with my *.keys file, which work perfectly in old CLI !)

This should work both with the new CLI and GUI. Make sure you're putting the right password.

Sorry, but, Testnet is selected by default, when you try to import a seed :

And yes, I'm sure about my password in the "open wallet" part, I've try with the previous 0.9.14 CLI, and it work perfectly !

I will try the 0.12 CLI version of the wallet, perhaps more simple.

You can click on the Testnet radio button again to uncheck it, so that you get the mainnet address. And yes, please try the 0.12 CLI. Also, the GUI is really supposed to be able to open the same wallet file, whether created by the old 0.9.14 CLI or the new 0.12 CLI or the new GUI. I cannot reproduce what you described. If you can reproduce it with a throwaway wallet, please open a ticket in https://github.com/aeonix/aeon-gui/issues and also attach the sample wallet.keys file.

AEON is looking so promising by the day

[bbc.reporter]

Did Aeon fork into 2 chains?

Technically yes (as is always the case, there is always someone who doesn't upgrade) but there is no evidence of any uptake of the pre-V7 chain (no exchanges listing it, no projects claiming to take on support of it, etc.)

One advantage of Aeon over Monero is it can fork but does not have the risk of splitting into 2 or more supported chains because the community is small and can be herded in 1 way towards the real chain.

What is your assessment on Aeon as the first to test Bulletproofs and be the first Cryptonote based coin to release it with RingCT enabled? I reckon the developers should keep pushing it while hardforking is easily managed and while everyone is not looking hehehe.

If Aeon grows larger in the future, illegitimate forks like Monero Classic will emerge inevitably just because the financial stake becomes higher. Whether the community is united well or not won't matter much.

The first CryptoNote coin that adopted Bulletproofs is Wownero, AFAIK. Some may see this as irresponsible of them because the audit process funded by the Monero community is still going on, but others may see it OK because Wownero is supposed to be a joke coin and is allowed to do wild experiments.

To me, the most reasonable path for Aeon would be to adopt Bulletproofs a little after Monero adopts it, because that way we can be sure that it's working well and has no issues. As someone once said somewhere, maybe Monero is Aeon's testnet...

stuffu has identified and fixed two important wallet bugs, one inherited from Monero (and also submitted as a fix upstream), one native to the AEON rebase. As far as we know the bug fixes are correct and are merged to master but not in a release yet.

We would like to spin a point release fixing these bugs soon, and before we do, we are inviting the community to engage in public testing.

If you are able to pull master from GitHub and compile your own tree, please test the new wallet especially making transfers that need to be split (generally these are spending a large number of small incoming transfers).

Please report any successes or failures here.

(okay to report results here too, we will see them in either place)

This is what I did when I updated to the current AEON blockchain/fork and went from the old CLI wallet to the GUI wallet. It worked for me on the first try after entering the password.

But Aeon does have a testnet. It can be tested there before releasing it officially. I reckon Aeon should be Monero's testnet and not the opposite. Monero has so much more to lose in my opinion. Telling everyone that Monero is Aeon's testnet would only be deluding ourselves.

Would it be worth it if we pay to have Aeon listed in a small unknown exchange? Maybe with the new codebase it can be requested to be listed back to Poloniex again, or Cryptopia.

Also why was it delisted in Cryptopia? A small exchange should be happy to list Aeon hehehe.

It was removed from Cryptopia due to a large chain rollback/reorg. I don't remember the specifics, but they said it fucked their database up and were pissed, so that was that.

That's about right. There was a bug in the daemon and some nodes (including Cryptopia's) got stuck on an invalid fork. In fact most transactions confirmed on both chains and there were no significant losses for anyone, but as stated above, it apparently was a database issue for Cryptopia.
