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

[estenity]

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?

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.

Maintenance update (Windows only)

Sophia (point release 8)

This maintenance release fixes a problem that existed in 0.12.7.0 only when using the wallet on Windows, and in addition contains a cosmetic improvement to logging and some documentation cleanup. If you are not running Windows there is no need to update from 0.12.7.0.

Yes. It's true that smooth and stoffu are incredibly smart and know what they're doing, but if they bring some cool new feature to AEON, those changes could just as easily be made to Monero too.

asik Baikal Giant N suitable for mining Aeon?

[bbc.reporter]

@kkkwww. Those short days are gone. The Aeon community have made the decision to follow Monero and change to another algorithm to kill Asics. Which might be a mistake. We would have the most hashrate if we stayed with the old algorithm and let game theory do its work.

Being ASIC resistant is always good, in my opinion.
Personally, I don't like ASICs due to their dominant hashrates, which might lead to unexpected manipulation.

[bbc.reporter]

@coloseum. However, if another Asic manufacturer creates Asics for Monero and our new proof of work algorithm, would we need to change it again? Is this the downright, best longterm solution to the problem? I reckon, certainly no.

[bigslimvdub]

Has anyone seen ETN's nethash since they allowed asics? 3 gigahash of nethash. Literally, every asic is on that network. Good for them right? What are all those mobile miners doing? Nothing really but providing additional network security with another node.

Whatever happened to Aeon's (or Monero's) mobile development? It seems as if a long time ago, the devs were unable to fully build a functioning mobile version of the core implementation. I remember smooth saying something along the lines of there were scaling issues with the gui on phones where it didn't fit correctly or something. Were they ever able to get a node running?

Aeon was built to be a mobile platform yet for 4.5 years there has been no public development of mobile core code by smooth that I can find. IF you want Aeon to take off, you need this. One community member built (and released) aeon core for android but it seems nobody is using it. Is it because smooth has not given this a noted thumbs up from the official Aeon project?

How can we as a community build Aeon for mobile? Not just a web wallet on a phone, but a true use of aeon on a phone like it is used on a desktop or laptop. That is the true question.

Why does it need to be developed or approved by smooth? Anyone can develop anything and run anything. I didn't try that Android Aeon node because I don't own any Android device. Also, it doesn't make sense to run a full node on a phone if there's no wallet software on it (but the situation might change with the emergence of MonerujoAE).

The development in the mobile area is slow/lacking simply because there is no one capable of it and willing to push hard for it. You're welcome to work on it, if you can.

AFAIK the ETN "mobile miner" was just a faucet.

Oh hi there, didn't know you were on BCT.

IIRC last time I tried, at least IOS was disabled in the GUI  ./build.sh. Maybe im missing something. I also do not have Android but QT creator has Android port support. IIRC android was not disabled in the build.sh but it was a few months ago I checked. I know there are some android based bugs for monero gui currently.

IIRC yes, pretty much.

@bigslimvdub. That was the original vision for Aeon. However, I reckon that has changed clearly because of the lack of developers working on the project. The best way forward is to be similar to what the litecoin development team is doing and be a close copy to Monero's codebase.

We the same technology on a slimmer blockchain.

Got it! Litecoin and Monero should be taken into deeply consideration for the way AEON team will develop the project.
Let's see how the team actually do this in the future.

thanks all who visited the community meeting tonight

GUI Release candidate (please test!)

We have a new release candidate GUI available for testing. Everything is merged to master. There are no binaries so you will have to compile it yourself (instructions are in the README).

Github repo: https://github.com/aeonix/aeon-gui

There is some sort of build issue for Windows (also applies to Monero) which is being discussed here: https://github.com/monero-project/monero-gui/issues/1559

Why and what would be the advantages in upgrading the proof of work algorithm again? Will it reduce hashrate or increase it?

There was a comment on github that said that our hashrate doubled and so there will be more investors. If that was true then why did we change the proof of work algorithm to stop Asics?
