Has anyone compiled the binary for the newer Aeon Stak gpu miner?

donation is unmodified (1% to shyba's pool)
this binary will be removed if an "official" one come from shyba.


(for cpu, shyba released binary on appveyor https://ci.appveyor.com/project/shyba/xmr-stak-cpu/branch/master (a zip is into artifact tab)
and for nvidia gpu, stoffu do the job on appveyor too https://ci.appveyor.com/project/stoffu/aeon-stak-nvidia
thanks to them)

smooth: perhaps could you put these links in the opening post so that people can find them more easily?

Maintenance Update Phoenix (0.9.12.0)

This maintenance release is recommended for all nodes, but is not urgent.

A future update (not yet scheduled) will begin enforcing the minimum relay fee equal to the current default fee, so nodes that have not yet updated to a minimum of 0.9.12.0 will then be disconnected and banned.

Fixes some Windows build issues
Add option to disable blockchain auto-save (useful to reduce swapping on low-memory nodes)
Prioritize transactions by fee/byte
Disable relay of transactions with legacy fee lower than current default

https://github.com/aeonix/aeon/releases/tag/v0.9.12.0

Windows binaries added

Well done !

EDIT 1:

Test 1 :
Dual RX 460 2Gb  = 1225 H/s (aeon-stak-amd)
-----------------------------------------------------
Test 2:
GPU APU AMD 7650K = 145 H/s  (aeon-stak-amd)
CPU APU AMD 7650K = 645 H/s  (aeon-stak-cpu)
-----------------------------------------------------
On APU PC is not possible work when both software are running and the HR decrease ... you can use only one miner aeon-stak-cpu!

There is a graphics "Branding Pack" linked on the r/Aeon subreddit. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/l6db52ehs6trzfb/AADFyL0s2I2a4JkXX0wH4Zs2a?dl=0

Are these free to use by the community for related projects? Any specific restrictions?

i'm not sure but i guess it's cryptodromeda's works. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=641696.msg13706044#msg13706044
if yes it's in the public domain

Can confirm: It's all intended to be in the public domain.

Arux/Stoffu (or others):

Would it be possible to create an Appveyor.yml script so we can build the Aeon binaries ourselves using Appveyor.com? They already have Boost/Cmake. I'm not skilled enough to properly write the script myself, but here's an initial take:  

Code:

version: 1.0.{build}
configuration: Release
platform: x64
before_build:

  cd C:\projects\aeon
  
  git checkout v0.9.12.0
  
  mkdir build
  
  cd build
  
  cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" -DBOOST_ROOT=C:/Libraries/boost_1_63_0 -DBOOST_LIBRARYDIR=C:/Libraries/boost_1_63_0/lib64-msvc-14.0 ..

  ls

build:
  project: C:\projects\aeon\build\Project.sln
  parallel: true
  verbosity: minimal
after_build:
- cmd: 7z a aeon-0.9.12.0.zip C:\projects\aeon\build\src\release\aeond.exe C:\projects\aeon\build\src\release\simplewallet.exe
artifacts:
- path: aeon-0.9.12.0.zip

The above build is failing though: https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/LLPA9prvltZLI4~XkCUO8F5M1UNdIGYhyRLivL9gydE=

Maybe because Appveyor only has 4GB RAM...

[glitcher_]

This coin is so undervalued right now.

Has there been any press or promotion of it lately?

Appreciate any links thrown my way.

[Elder III]

With so many of the bigger altcoins going up like crazy right now, maybe AEON and some of the other lesser known ones will take off as well. I think it is in a position that it could grow if enough of the new speculators are made aware of it.

More exchanges are needed and for that LMDB probably.

[daberti]

I wonder whether in a next version Aeon blockchain could be splitted in smaller chunks, each one loaded into memory only when needed.
We are on the 6GB RAM needed tag....

your script is ok, windows compilation need to be improved. the problem is because there are some errors which do not prevent to build aeond.exe and simplewallet.exe. on a physical machine, you can find your exe files although compilation failed but on appveyor, you're stuck at "Command exited with code 1".
i will try to debug it. appveyor is an interesting option.
this is my appveyor.yml file https://github.com/Arux-BTT/aeon/commit/129296d2629ac873496be054ad9e649f82887eb7
based on the official doc https://www.appveyor.com/docs/appveyor-yml/
there is a lot of unused options but i like to keep them ready-to-use
the unsuccessful output: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/Arux/aeon-0u95x

I managed to eliminate those C2864 errors (which were due to the string 'constexpr' being #defined as empty in src/serialization/serialization.h) and complete the build on AppVeyor:

https://ci.appveyor.com/project/stoffu/aeon/build/artifacts
https://github.com/aeonix/aeon/pull/60

Hope this will make life a little easier:)

Following the recent method of smooth, i tried several times to install myself AEON on my ubuntu 14.04 LTS machine, and each time i got errors, so i stopped.

then i asked to a professional to pre-install it on a new machine running ubuntu 16.04 LTS, and i received today this message:

Me: Could you pre-install the following AEON program:

apt-get install build-essential cmake git clone https://github.com/aeonix/aeon cd aeon git checkout v0.9.11.0 make cd build/release/src ../aeond

response: we have a problem installing AEON program.
Launching the command "make", an error occurs, and "src" dossier and his content are not created.

cmake complains because boost libraries are not installed, install them with

Code:

sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev

then make.

[smooth]

building on ubuntu or in a virtual machine running ubuntu is not hard. I think all you need to do is:

apt-get install build-essential cmake libboost-all-dev¹
git clone https://github.com/aeonix/aeon
cd aeon
git checkout v0.9.9.0²
make
cd build/release/src
./aeond

¹ If you are using Ubuntu 14.04 you will need libboost1.55-all-dev (default version has a bug and should not be used)

² Replace with current release tag

Updated build instructions to add the missing package (thanks Arux)
