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

[Arux]

Mining a little AEON on Freya for now - one 290X is doing over 1750H/s... oddly, it's the Elpida one. I don't get it.

Have you pushed a miner that works reliably (at one point I understood that it crashed/hung after a while, but maybe not)?

I was waiting for that to pay the bounty, but it's still waiting.

I've been doing main development on the XMR miner, but I'd need someone to test it for a few days to be sure.

Please post a link to the current AEON version and we'll have someone here test it.

It's on git, unless you mean you need a Win binary?

No, I just mean the link to the git repo (repost)

EDIT: Is this the one? Doesn't look updated. https://github.com/wolf9466/wolf-aeon-miner/commits/master

Yeah; the last long test was done before commit 149debbd15d094051084816f04c6a32eeaab9062.

Oh, okay. I had no idea.

Arux, or anyone, please try testing the latest from this repo.

The actual lastest binary on the repo (0.2 Release; 7 Nov) is used successfully by windows users. No need to test it further.

the latest amelioration from xmr miner (Substantial speedup; reaches the next milestone!; 23 dec) is not present in aeon miner on wolf's repo. so no test can be done.
i can try to update my repo for testing if aeon miner is speeding up like xmr miner but it's better if wolf update its own. (this part seems not correlated to the bounty)

Dev i have one question about the roadmap exactly what are the advantages of the Blockchain pruning?
it is not like a electrum server?

thanks in advance

The main advantage is reducing the storage required to run nodes over time. As the blockchain grows (every day 360 more blocks) that all needs to be stored by every node. With the pruning branch most of the old information does not need to be stored, making nodes more lightweight.

There may be other advantages for thin wallets similar to Electrum later but that is not really helped by the current implementation.

Thank you for the report Arux.

Agreed the terms of the bounty did not require updating to later optimized versions. Another community member can do it or Wolf0 can do it if he wants to continue to remain involved.

I am glad to hear that development is coming along nicely. Based on recent Bittrex data, interest in the coin seems to be growing.

I just asked Shapeshift to support boolberry and aeon. Let them know if you agree it is a good idea.

When you are ready to request a Aeon listing on Poloniex I think most of the Boolberry community will support it. Liquidity should improve from having more CryptoNote trading pairs available.  I would like to see more trading volume on Poloniex from the XMR (instead of BTC) trading pairs.

Min difficulty back to 2k at http://52.8.47.33:8080

from what i see, the bandwith is highly consumed by the front-end api (during refresh) but not by low diff.

Code:

[api] Broadcasting to 466 visitors and 2 address lookups

sound like the api is very talkative! so the refresh rate of the front-end is kept at 30s.

i manually applied last code from wolf's xmr gpu miner onto aeon gpu miner here: https://github.com/Arux-BTT/wolf-aeon-miner in the branch substantial_speedup_from_xmr_miner

a windows binary (64bits) is also available : https://github.com/Arux-BTT/wolf-aeon-miner/releases

on my hardware, i get  a nice speedup 680H/s -> 800H/s
hd7950, worksize 16 and raw intensity 1408.

[serpintine101]

Thats a really good jump. I get about 680 with my R7 370. Recently though its has been having the connection get dropped from your pool using your other binary before this release a little bit ago. My other miners dont have the issue and are connected to your pool. Any idea why its doing that?

[serpintine101]

Hopefully it will pull 800+ after i get the new binary later today!

[Arux]

@Wolf0: thanks for feedback. i didn't try on linux, lack of gpu

my windows build crashed after a few hours...


instruction at 0xdc3e26ba is using memory address 0x0000090
the memory can't be in 'read' state
click OK to exit

dunno if my rig is faulty (hdd is in end of life) or if the build is crappy.

[Arux]

ok, I misunderstood 

Glad to see you continue to code. thanks.

[serpintine101]

Downloaded the binary arux posted a few hours ago and im getting 730-750 h/s with worksize 16 raw intensity 1325. Cant go any higher without the scratchpad buffer error. Thats on a 370

Hello guys I am trying to run a pool and Arux has been so kind to help and I am sure he is very busy. But wondering if anyone can tell me why my "front end" (local)127.0.0.1:xxxx (running SimplServer with port xxxx)

You need to configure both the pool (config.json, "api" IIRC) and the website (config.js IIRC) to use that URI. Also need to port forward that port if appropriate.
I'm not sure what SimplServer is, I'm guessing a HTTP server ? If so, the API port isn't served by the HTTP server, but by the pool itself.
