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

[ancientcoins]

this could be better than monero,

with the plans we have we have a good shot of taking its throne, but its not about passing another coin but building good services for users to use and the plans here can get more interest. in it for the long haul

this should be trading on a exchange

i have contacted bittrex and richie has said he will take a look at it to list it.

would be great to have it on a exchange is gathering attention not everyone knows

any pool to mine this coin?

any pool to mine this coin?

Yes there is: http://aeonpool.mooo.com

It is run by community member MoneroMooo. Please honor his request to keep bandwidth usage limited and not connect too many miners without a proxy.

Plans yes, but lets wait until something is actually delivered more than just some hot air, and at least the first hard fork is behind us.

I expect to return to consistent development on the coin in approximately one week.

If it were a newbie dev It would seem like hot air but you ha've a good history so we know you will get it done or die trying not literally

Will the hard fork end pow I read it would be a pow/pow hybrid?

I'd prefer other on exchange for the sake of my pc lol. It's the same problem I had when got Monroe wallet, constant ram use which then slows down my pc. Other wallets I can keep open but cn wallets and then issue of resyncing all a bit much but exchange.could sort plus once youve made developments I don't think there will be super cheap coins going round

For clarity, this is about plain abuse, like hundreds of different connections from a botnet or similar, like I had before on another pool. Feel free to bring your dozen computers if you have them

[wasref]

i'd rather buy when its all hot air as when people realize this ain't a joke it gonna be mayhem.

also guys don't forget smooth has had some very generous donations 417k coins, that is alot of fuel to make the rocket go boom with paid developments.

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

no .bitmonero dir : normal, typo
smooth corrected his post :

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

bootstrap name is aeon_bootstrap_5_5_2015_linux_x64: not normal, bootstrap name is blockchain.bin (~2.8 Go currently and must be located in /home/your_username_here/.aeon )

you must use the link in the OP "bootstrap for linux-x64 (by community member Phantas 2015-05-05)" to donwload the file aeon_bootstrap_5_5_2015_linux_x64.tar.gz (~1.63Go). then you unzip and untar it in the correct folder.

tar xzvf aeon_bootstrap_5_5_2015_linux_x64.tar.gz  -C /home/your_username_here/.aeon

no gui no buy

exact same specs as monero how groundbreaking

[ancientcoins]

no gui no buy

well you don't expect to be buying at these prices if it had a gui

[MoneroMooo]

Quick note to say that I added fixed difficulty option on the pool. If you want to use this, append a dot and your chosen difficulty to your Aeon address, eg:

-p WmXXXXXX.5000

to mine at constant 5000 difficulty.

What is benefit from that option? I'm mining with i5 cpu and one 280x. It is good option for cpu miner or big rigs??

That's awesome! Come on folks, let's see if we can bump it past 200k soon!

that post is a little outdated

We have received some generous donations recently, increasing the project development fund by 100K+.

Reminder: the bulk of the fund is expected to be apportioned among the development team as incentive for working on the project, but there is a mandatory vesting period, including for the lead developer, which means the coins won't be moving at all for a long time (at least a year, but generally longer). Donating to this fund helps support the project but also help support the coin value by visibly locking up supply.

A portion of the development fund may at some point be sold and used to pay for project resources and direct expenses (hosting, etc.) but that won't be done at all until the coin has established a meaningful market value, and in the near term at least these expenses are expected to be very small. Currently the lead developer is paying all of the hosting costs.

yes 417,000 coins in donations we will have plenty have ammo to pay for top end developers this will be a great ride

What is benefit from that option? I'm mining with i5 cpu and one 280x. It is good option for cpu miner or big rigs??

The fixed difficulty option allows one to select a difficulty which seems appropriate, without the pool trying to adjust in real time. In the long run, it should not matter, but some people prefer this to avoid the ramp up time when reconnecting on a variable difficulty port, where difficulty will start from a set value and then adjust to the miner's speed. It will also reduce variance since you avoid the case where a string of lucky share finds pushes your difficulty high and get a long time without a share. All a wash, I think, in the long run.

The option will have the most effect is when your miner settle on a difficulty that's far from the starting one (which is 1000 on my pool), so GPUs would be the best suited for it. But, again, in the long run, I don't think it makes much of a difference.

Also if you want to minimize bandwidth and overhead and don't care much about variance you could set the fixed difficulty extremely high.

I get this is a fork of Monero but IMO there is no point in having the same emission model, since the coin has long been launched the only honest approach is not having tail emission or making it smaller or bigger.

Something to consider.

Why not ? This Fork can be some kind of experimental playground with things monero does not want to do, and having the same emission model helps evaluating changes better then a different one.
