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

[dEBRUYNE]

In a PM between me and dnaleor he suggest Litenote as a new name for AEON, I think it sounds much better and considering the "lite" new POW it could be a strategic marketing move.

It's indeed something I thought about, let me explain it a bit more:

AEON wants to have a more "lightweight" approach with pruning, lighter mining algorithm, running nodes on smartphones, etc.

Furthermore, I see AEON as "the little brother" of XMR. It's possible that AEON can become an important factor in testing new features that can eventually be transferred to XMR. And there is even more, smooth is a dev of both coins.
If we use the 'lite' brand, we ride on the notion of litecoin being "the silvers to bitcoin's gold". If we adopt this new name, the coin would be immediately associated with being "the silver to cryptonote/XMR gold"

This positions the coin in the right place imho. So the 'lite' brand has 2 meanings: 'lightweight' and 'silver'.
There is a new dev team now, so rebranding AEON to Litenote (XLN) might be a good idea.

It's just an idea, don't know what others think about it.

I would concur with this.

litenote sounds good

myagui and MoneroMooo are awarded the contract to upgrade the tsiv nvidia miner for 9500 AEON.

I understand they have made excellent progress on both tasks and the results will be ready for testing soon (if not already). Great work guys!

For completion testing, please provide the changes on a github fork/branch and PM the information to me or post it here.

I'm not especially a fan of names like xxx-note, xxx-coin, xxx-shares, etc. 

I'm also not especially a fan of coins that do frequent rebrands for whatever reasons (generally not good ones).

I also think it would be better if/when we decide to rebrand later that we not have a history of frivolous rebrands.

I think the current branding is okay, certainly not terrible enough to justify a rebrand right now. As things develop later its something we might do, in a well-managed way (most rebrands by other coins have been done terribly from a marketing perspective imo).

Here's a ccminer win.x86 binary using the sources provided by Moneromooo : ccminer-cryptonote-lite-beta.zip
It was compiled with support for compute levels 2.0 all the way up to 5.2.
 
I have tested basic functionality (all shares accepted by the test pool) using a GTX 980 card, but have not investigated the matter of optimal blocks * threads setting. A good baseline for anyone that used TSIVs miner for Cryptonight, is to start with the same -l settings, and then explore different values.

Sample launch string (one also provided in the linked zip):

Code:

ccminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://aeonpool.mooo.com:5555 -u WmsWhL4rXxK6g4FrtsrBweT6txczfkjLFXjHjR1FgBx8aATnZrqccZPN2st667SHH99wRNz4RYeURX9r3GTZnmn21vorqh9EH -p x -A

Note the -A switch at the very end. This is the current selector for the lite version, otherwise the miner will run with regular cryptonight.
The pool port above is only for test purposes (not generating coins), and might not be up at all times (ping Moneromooo if necessary).

I just hope poloniex will re-list AEON.

I have every expectation there will be exchange listings (though not going to mention any specific exchanges until they either commit publicly or announce it themselves) after the first hard fork is complete, which now appears to be on track to happen fairly soon. Once I successfully test the new pool modifications and confirm the build process with Arux, I will tag a new release with a specified block height for the fork.

Awesome smooth.

I buy in this coin because of your work on Monero.

Please evaluate the work and prospects of this coin carefully. I encourage no one to buy anything based on my name or reputation alone, none of which can guarantee success. Do your own homework, assess your risk tolerance, and invest accordingly (if at all).

I knew you were going to say something like that

Yes, thats why I'm in Monero and Aeon, if someone promisses you riches in 30 days turn 180° and run away.

I'm solo mining this coin with aeond, and to want to mine on same daemon from another pc (cpu mining) in my home network (cpu mining).
Please, how to do it?

Thank you.

Thank you.

You can try simpleminer which comes with the standard distribution. No one really uses it (for any of the cryptonote coins) so it is possible it won't work or won't work well.

Failing that you will have to install the pool software and then you can use any of the optimized pool miners, gpu miners, etc.

For any of these you also need to make sure your firewall settings allow the remote connection.

Thak you for you quick response. Do you know which config or command line should I use with simpleminer?

[Arux]

indeed, on linux, to mine with several cpu the better way is to setup your own pool and use optimized miners.
on windows, i don't see any solution to solomine productively...


if you want to try simpleminer, use something like:

Code:

simpleminer --pool-addr 192.168.x.x --login WmsSWgtT1JPg5e3cK41hKXSHVpKW7e47bjgiKmWZkYrhSS5LhRemNyqayaSBtAQ6517eo5PtH9wxHVmM78JDZSUu2W8PqRiNs --pass x

--pool-addr : your aeond local address, it can be 192.168.1.5 or http://192.168.1.5 (according to your network) the port can be necessary so it can be 192.168.x.x:11180 or http://192.168.x.x:11180
--login your aeond address
--pass ?

but i'm really thinking it will not working. it's coding to work with a pool.

[macorcina]

i want to change locations from home folder ./aeon to another disk folder.
linux ubuntu
How to do that ?

[myagui]

@macorcina:

I understand that you can simply move the data folder around as desired, and then start aeond with the --data-dir parameter.
Like so: ./aeond --data-dir <new location>


Cheers!

Will wolf's cpu miner get updated also before the fork?

It's ok. Thanks!

Any trusted Windows wallet compilation out there? Huge draw back for those who don't want to jump through the hoops.
