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

[h0g0f0g0]

Does yam miner work with any AEON pools or "cryptonight-light" minerd is the only one CPU miner working?

I don't think anyone ported that one. Is the source available ? I know those have been ported: tsiv's, wolf's, Lucas Jones'. In any case, if you find a pool whre you can mine with a non ported miner, you'd be hashing for nothing.

I have some older glibc (2.11) thus I cannot compile minerd.

I can't see a good reason why this should be so. What error are you getting ?

It looks like a problem with my gcc version:

cc1: error: invalid option argument ‘-Ofast’
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-flto"
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-fuse-linker-plugin"
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-ftree-loop-if-convert-stores"

After removing these CFLAGS I am getting this:

I can compile on newer version of the distro but then I am getting mentioned gcc prob:

./minerd: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by ./minerd)

Any ideas?

Solved. Updated GCC and now it compiles.

after 5 hours nothing has changed

That is incorrect. Your blockchain has grown at a rate of approximately 0.244 blocks per minute.

For everyone with a poloniex account:

AEON has been listed on poloniex before and according to smooth their wallet has been updated. So I would like to ask everyone that has an account to send them a message that you would be interested in trading AEON (again). You can just open a support ticket and I think the mods will pass it along. Personally I hope it gets reenabled, more exchanges means more awareness.

Yes, that would be nice to increase awarness. But there is a question everybody will ask : What is Aeon about exactly?

I'm still trying to understand.

What's the plan here? I'm confused.

the ccminer fork gives me this

Code:

*** stack smashing detected ***: ./ccminer terminated
Aborted (core dumped)

i find stack smashing entertaining.

I assume this is Tsiv's miner ?

Try:

gdb ./ccminer core      # the core might be named with a pid, use the correct filename if so
bt

And pastebin the result.

Is minergate on a different fork? They are showing their pool and total hashrate around 20 kh/s and are solving like every single block:
https://minergate.com/pool-stats/aeon

But mooo shows network ~200 kh/s and his pool ~100 kh/s and they're finding blocks as well:
http://aeonpool.mooo.com/



Edit: I guess so, since they're showing different block heights as well. Does cryptonight-light get approximately same h/s as cryptonight?

I have no idea what they are doing. They are certainly aware of the upgrade and have said they are upgrading on Monday (why wait?), and if you look at their trollbox you have users telling other users to stop wasting their hashrate by mining, the support guy on there ignores it and they for some reason they don't just turn it off. Very strange.

It gets 2x+ depending on the hardware but the block target is now 4 minutes so the old fork will have more blocks with less work.

yeah, its your fork of tsivs... though my build environment might be screwy. I can't even run standard cryptonight on your fork... I saw during the build process of ccminer that compute 20 was being used, though I think it should compute 10. I accidentally installed the most recent cuda package via sudo apt-get install nvidia-cuda-toolkit...

Please update the bootstrap, i've tried everything.

Can you be more specific as to the problems you are having?

If you check the options on polo there is an option for suggesting a coin. I have submitted the suggestion and the reasoning. With Monero so popular there, and the great dev here, Aeon is an obvious choice now. (with future potential based on new development)

I've been bugging them via trollbox. Eventually they will cave.

593600 > 593688 after running 5 hour block sync go up very very slow

Current chain height as I write this is 593690, so I guess you are synced?

Mining is strangely profitable (in terms of Aeon) right now on Minergate. A lot of people asked the support what's up with these mined Aeons and he said it's all good. How?...

Minergate have not updated, so they are not mining the correct chain. Because there are so few mining this incorrect chain, you will get a very high proportion of the incorrect chain hashrate and it will look like you are getting lots of coins. But these coins will NOT be usable with the correct chain.

Don't hash there, as you'll receive NOTHING in return, so it's not profitable at all

Does this mean we will lose minergate coins? It makes no sense

Most likely seems to be you are using an include file (or compilation options) with a sizeof(cudaDeviceProp) that is smaller than twhat cudaGetDeviceProperties thinks.
If you already had it working, I'd make clean, or whatever is the equivalent there. If it's a fresh clone... Can you run any other CUDA program that you compiled in the same way and which uses cudaGetDeviceProperties ?

I'm not sure how they will do their internal accounting, but...
Minergate will lose all coins they received on block 592000 and later until they update.
Similarly, any coins they already sent on these blocks will vanish too, as the network does not know about these transactions.
