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

[smooth]

you do know you can just download the wallet from OP

Many people like to compile their own from the original source, either out of an abundance of caution about the possibility of malware, just as a hobby, or because they may contribute to development at some point. Nothing wrong with any of that.

dnaleor, thanks for the corrections to the instructions. I will look into merging those in the OP instructions soon.

https://github.com/aeonix/aeon

https://github.com/iamsmooth/aeon

Both are the maintained the same now. The first (see bold) is the official location, as indicated in OP.

And binary ask me for admin pass ?
I don't like to give pass !!

I don't understand this. People who provided the binaries do you have any idea what it is about?

[Phantas]

I tested binary wallets and without problem, I think this password is just for wallet.

How to use bootstrap ?

Thanks for fast answer.
How to use bootstrap ?

Download the file and put it in your data directory before starting the daemon. For Linux that is ~/.bitmonero ~/.aeon but I don't remember the location for Windows.

EDIT: correct data directory name

Download the file and put it in your data directory before starting the daemon. For Linux that is .bitmonero. I don't remember the location for Windows.

I have .aeon dir no .bitmonero and bootstrap name is aeon_bootstrap_5_5_2015_linux_x64

Oops. sorry. Wrong coin.

.aeon is correct.

The blockchain bootstrap file should be called blockchain.bin. I don't know if the one you downloaded is some kind of archive or just needs to be renamed.

this aeon_bootstrap_5_5_2015_linux_x64 I rename to blockchain.bin and wallet start sync from blok 1.  No working for me. I use another blockchain.bin from my backup and
I start sync, and it's look fine now.

You need gunzip this file and gunziped file blockchain.bin move to .aeon

Are you under linux-64?

Yes that I did. No success.
Yes Mint 17, 64  , I work now from my backup 140 day old.

Where did you download that bootstrap from?

in the OP, the file extension is .gz but it should have been .tgz (or .tar.gz).

when you extract (with gunzip) "aeon_bootstrap_5_5_2015_linux_x64.gz" you obtain the file named "aeon_bootstrap_5_5_2015_linux_x64"
but this file "aeon_bootstrap_5_5_2015_linux_x64" is a tar archive without .tar extension. it's confusing.

to obtain correct blockchain.bin file, you must rename "aeon_bootstrap_5_5_2015_linux_x64" in "aeon_bootstrap_5_5_2015_linux_x64.tar" in graphic mode or in cli:

Code:

mv aeon_bootstrap_5_5_2015_linux_x64 aeon_bootstrap_5_5_2015_linux_x64.tar

then you can extract "blockchain.bin" as usual or in cli:

Code:

tar -xvf aeon_bootstrap_5_5_2015_linux_x64.tar

@Phantas: could you check your archive format (the one in the OP), i think the .gz extension must be corrected with .tgz  

[Phantas]

Thanks Arux, my mistake.

I renamed file on mega to:

aeon_bootstrap_5_5_2015_linux_x64.tar.gz


macorcina rename downloaded file to aeon_bootstrap_5_5_2015_linux_x64.tar.gz and :

1. tar xvfz aeon_bootstrap_5_5_2015_linux_x64.tar.gz

2. and move blockchain.bin to .aeon
