AEON FOR THE FUTURE - kidding? Just downloaded last version of AEON daemon and started it. Bloody shame, it still use 6G of RAM while blockachain size 3.5G itself  It's way to hell dude, not to future. Last XMR, BCN, XDN and FCN consume 1-2 G of RAM all together. The pruning version runs pretty easily in 2 GB and I've been told people have used it in 1 GB. Less memory usage is coming. No, he's right. It needs 6+ GB of memory. The sync in monero is a pain in the ass if you don't have an SSD, but it needs RAM in the range of only just Megabytes. On the other side, the sync in AEON is ultra fast (pruning), but it needs much RAM and thrashing of the HDD on the exit. |

Or is that just being tested ATM? Why does the Aeon wallet take up 6GB but XMR, BCN, XDN and FCN only take up 1-2GB all together? Thanks |

The pruning version runs pretty easily in 2 GB and I've been told people have used it in 1 GB. Less memory usage is coming. I've been running aeonbux tipbot on irc for a couple months using only 1 GB of RAM (and a bunch of swap) just fine after commenting out the auto save of the blockchain. Not that this is something most people want to or can do, but it can be done. Speaking of tipbot, I keep meaning to do a giveaway on Reddit to get it done karma...soon^tm |

Because AEON still keeps the whole blockchain in memory while the aeond is running. As all cryptonote did at the start. There are plans (dunno if smooth is currently working on it or not) to merge the monero lmdb implementation to AEON. |

I knew CN coins had that issue but wasn't aware most or all other coins had some solution or other. |

The instructions are here: Pruning (aka Light Full Node) test release
This release optionally prunes the blockchain by dropping no-longer-needed information once it is processed and verified by your node. This reduces both memory and storage requirements, and perhaps more importantly reduces the rate at which both increase over time. With pruning enabled, the daemon continues to function as a full node on the network in nearly every way. I will be posting a FAQ to answer some other questions about the details of the pruning functionality.
It was released as a testing version and has some limitations involving rescanning of old wallets (click through and read including the FAQ a few posts after that if this applies to you). Other than that, no problems has been reported in over a year, so it should be fine. The branch has been updated with some patches keeping it in sync with the latest release from master. |

Which one will require less user RAM in your opinion? Which port will require the most modification? |

This. I think most people underestimate how much the monero codebase has deviated from standard cryptonote. And although I am not the best person to answer that question, my educated guess is the port to BBR will be a PITA. |

That does make a lot of sense jwinterm - in your opinion, will it also be easier for AEON when adapting the RingCT implementation? |

If Aeon rebases to current Monero version, then it will already be built in. |

Smooth has done an awesome job with this coin. I think it is a real contender if the community supports it going forward.

If Aeon rebases to current Monero version, then it will already be built in. What an amazing upgrade from ring signatures for AEON! Is AEON planning to adopt the Kovri i2p router as well? It seems to just makes sense to have that privacy at the nodes |

It seems to just makes sense to have that privacy at the nodes Yes we will. There is ultimately going to be no reason for any coin not to support i2p (the main reason currently is the Java-based i2p router is annoying if you don't normally use Java). It just makes good sense to do. We already work pretty well with Tor though Is there any blockchain tools available?

chainradar and minergate both have AEON chain explorers. |
