A clone coin as field testbed environment for a clone coin...
   
Consider utilising a persistent counter variable against endless recursion

A clone coin as field testbed environment for a clone coin...

reminds me of how evolution works...

[XMRpromotions]

This community has been nice to Monero, so I support you too:

Added to Cryptsy!

https://twitter.com/XMRpromotions/status/633446228945076224

I think we should also be nice to BBR and AEON and ask Cryptsy list them too

1. They both have community overlap with XMR
2. BBR has been nice to us (Reddit altcoin AMA, sharing Cryptsy news
3. AEON is run by one of our great XMR devs Smooth
4. Of all the other CryptoNote besides XMR coins BBR and AEON have been the most transparent and fair in terms of launch, emission schedule etc.
5. Neither BBR and AEON are pure clones. They both have and/or are developing unique features some of which could be of interest to Monero
6. Poloniex (compared to Bittrex) has taught us that people like to trade CryptoNote coins where most of them are listed. If Cryptsy is going to add more they may as well start with BBR and AEON instead of certain premined/fastmined alternatives.

If you agree retweet this:

I think this post is important. From Twitter we know that BCN is already asking for a listing. Lets push for BBR and AEON now to be added in addition to our favorite coins Monero!

I hope Cryptsy will add AEON. However before they add more CryptoNote coins I think they may want to see XMR generate some volume first. May want to think about moving some of your Poloniex XMR volume over to Cryptsy for a little while. Something to think about

getting aeon onboard could be the way to go for cryptsy longer term, since I doubt there's much traffic shifting over from polo.

Cryptsy is a horrible exchange. I'm not sure if it would be a good thing...

Arux's pool appears to be down. If you are using it you will want to switch somewhere.

Since we only have one pool left until that gets fixed, anyone who can possibly do so please try solo mining or running your own pool.

Thanks.

AEON still sleeping at 3k? I'll just nom on 3k for a while then. Good progress so far smooth.

Hi guys! I'm found in the network project, with our name. I think we can be helpful to each other ...

I updated aeonpool.mooo.com a bit:
- min payment bumped from half an aeon to one aeon - keep smaller outputs in check
- 0.5% donation fee to the dev address is back

payouts stuck again

Can you write small guide how to start and configurate pool software for aeon?
Thank you.

@smooth, about solo mining on the daemon:

I seem to have about half the performance when mining on the daemon, in contrast to using one of the standalone miners available. I can run a standalone miner pointed at Moo's pool, and keep the daemon open anyhow to have keep a node up as well, but I know this is less valuable in terms of network security and decentralization.

Would it be possible to get the daemon mining code closer to the performance of the standalone ones?

I'm using Wolf's cpuminer at the moment, which nets me about 680 h/s with 6 threads on an i7 4770. I don't mind some hashrate drop due to solo mining, but it would be most gratifying if the hashrate was at least within 10% or so proximity of the standalone miners, not a whopping 50% less.

I've also used the one by tpruvot (git repo), which is slightly slower on my CPU, but might be more portable code so to speak, as it was originally forked from Lucas Jones's version.

If all else fails, I could try to run a private/local pool just for my solo mining, though I'm not sure I'm ready to take on the challenge. Then I could also point a GPU or two at it now and then. I'll be happy to take any input or suggestions to how easy/complicated this would be for someone that is knowledgeable on Windows but a Linux newbie.

Thanks for the recent updates, keep'em coming

Always happens when I don't look for a bit...
Should fix itself again as consolidated coins unlock.

As for a guide for pools, there's a comprehensive guide in the pool software's documentation itself.

Quite a reach you have with 63,000 followers 

I'm not surprised though - you have some really nice content on the site.

CryptoNight algo might mine a little on http://aeonpool.mooo.com/#getting_started with my CPU

I 100% agree with you and find the results you report surprising. What OS?

[myagui]

Forgot that very important detail 
Windows 8 x64

I double-checked my hashrate if solo'ing with the daemon, on the same 6 threads, I'm at ~255 h/s (vs ~680 on the fastest standalone miner, and roughly ~600 on the slower one). I'm using the latest Win binaries that were posted (0.9.1.1 iirc).

[smooth]

@ myagui

Do you happen to know if the performance changed in any of the recent versions?

I did some clean up and 32-bit portability of the hashing code and I may have accidentally broken some of the optimizations on Windows.

[nikos64]

Windows 7 x64
8 core AMD FX at 4GHz
I get 650 h/s mining with the daemon with 8 cores, and 850 h/s with wolf's miner.
In the standard cryptonite algo I get 200 h/s with 6 cores and 350 h/s with claymore's miner.
So I think the situation is much better with cryptonite lite, at least in my case.

Aha! I found something. The above 650 h/s are with the 0.9.0.0 edition.
With the 0.9.1.1 the daemon hashes drooped to 270.

Thank you! I'm pretty sure I know what happened. I'll get it fixed.
