Also, I hope the developers are not going to copy what Siacoin is doing.

LOL no. That was and is one of the shadiest things I've ever seen in crypto and that's saying a lot.

They started manufacturing their own ASICs.

Not only that. They manufacture their own ASICs and then use their position as devs of a supposedly decentralized coin to brick everyone else's ASICs to give their own for-profit company's ASICs a monopoly, while at the same time invoking Orwell to call them "community ASICs".

WTF.

[bbc.reporter]

It was possible, but not anymore.

why not anymore??

The proof of work algorithm updated.

Which might be a mistake, I reckon. What should we do if there is another Baikal miner developed for the new proof of work algorithm? Will the developers decide to change it again?

That's what Monero does.

I know and we follow what Monero is doing as closely as possible. If they change proof of work algorithms, we change proof of work algorithms. When will Aeon have a real identity?

I don't personally see the need to switch algo versions on Aeon right now. There is minimal hash rate as it is and the hash rate here is fairly spread out for the most part. I think if we start seeing 20-30mh we could start looking at a fork for algo version change if the hash is centralized and pools see asic style connections.

That was not the question. The question was do we keep copying what Monero does no matter what without having our own identity? Is Aeon the backup plan in case Monero fails?

Also, staying in the original algorithm before the switch would have helped us attain more hashrate.

Did you believe that the 112Mh hash rate from the ASICS was well spread out on the Aeon network pre-rebase?

thank you, very useful summary.

Maybe not in the beginning, however it will be spread out among different mining pools in the interest of the security of the project. Why would miners attack Aeon and waste their resources?

In any case, what is the consensus of Aeon's leadership and voting system?

Please make a final push on beta testing the upcoming CLI release

Instructions for compiling it can be found in the latest State of AEON post: https://medium.com/@AEON_Community/the-state-of-aeon-11-18-2018-548ed8a8abd2

We are looking to tag a new point release in the next several days so any test reports positive and negative are most welcome.

EDIT: Updated medium post with corrected build instructions: https://medium.com/@AEON_Community/aeon-point-release-beta-testing-b764ac5a0347

WTF.

There is zero value in p2p storage as of 2018-9...
Being cheaper than cheap is irrelevant if your data actually has value...
So they branched out into ASICs, but got completely outmaneuvered by various Big Players. 

At least Sia has managed to retain > $100 million cap...
I see shadier stuff every day in cryptonote microcaps... like absurd "stablecoins", etc

Important maintenance update

Sophia (point release 7)

Dozens of upstream performance, reliability and security patches
Several documentation and configuration improvements from the AEON community

All users running nodes on the p2p network should update ASAP to prevent possible database corruption and loss of synchronization with the rest of the network.

Source code only for now. Binaries will be added when available.

I am beginning to see the light in Aeon. It might be more appropriate for our 2 - 3 man development team to let the Monero developers do the hard work and copy some of the parts of Monero that we can use.

It would also be preferable to be as close to Monero's codebase as possible while maintaining a smaller blockchain data for easier initial syncing.

I reckon we might have a better project. However, our problem would be the lack of network effects.

It would also be preferable to be as close to Monero's codebase as possible [...] I reckon we might have a better project.

How could it possibly be better if it is almost identical?

thinking if it were possible to take and just answer that, we would become very rich.
im was always taught that a copy is almost always worse than the original. so it is necessary to add something that was not previously to be higher or at least trying. it seems to me that this project has everything to enter the top but not in the red market which is falling.

but sometimes the copy would emerge as the better one, an improved one. this coin has proven something in the market already. they are still here for so long already, cemented their position in the market. though the volume is not that high but at least the price is much better than the new ones.

These are our advantages while maintaining our codebase close to Monero. We have a smaller blockchain for an easier initial sync. We also have the Monero developers working for Aeon because smooth and stoffu can copy the code that Aeon needs anytime while doing improvements of their own.

But I do not know how advantageous cryptonight light is anymore, with the 1mb scratchpad instead of 2?

les pristy thinks that a smaller blockchain is a decisive advantage.
waiting for his new achievements.
