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

[bbc.reporter]

@smooth. I reckon, I might have a small idea why the term king is damaged. If it involves a Risto character then yes, but I did not dig into it.

Thank you for the update and it is good to hear from you.

Hi I recently built a rig with an NVIDIA1080ti card and i7 processor. I am staking coins but am also trying to figure out how to solo mine. I currently mine with NiceHash but I want to at least solo mine even if it's just to learn a few things. So far I downloaded the server and client for AEON. This coin is my first attempt to solo. My server node is running and my wallet is open.

I believe I need a config file so I created this ... I have this saved in my folder where the server and client are, Or do I need to have this in the ccminer foiolder?
rpcuser=xxxxxx    (( walletname ))
rpcpassword=xxxxx   (( wpassowrd ))
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=11180
port=11181
gen=0
server=1
addnode=94.130.32.60:11180
addnode=98.165.192.54:11180
addnode=5.9.40.202:11180
addnode=91.219.164.176:11180

I also made my bat file ... I have this in my ccminer folder and double click it to start the miner.
ccminer-x64.exe -q -a cryptolight -o http://127.0.0.1:11180/ -u walletname  -p wpassowrd

When the miner starts its so fast when it opens, but it also closes just as fast and I cant really read the red error I am getting. Would someone be so kind to help me. Thanks !!!

You can't solo mine on cryptonotes like you can with bitcoin clones if you want to use a GPU. You basically have to run your own pool.

So let me see if I understand this. CCMiner is basically just another NiceHash? I say that because no matter what, I have to use a pool to mine a coin?

Funny - I find it amazing how i'm smart enough to figure out how to solo mine. Why would you say I need to run my own pool?

Wallet says:
[wallet WmsJVr]: start_mining 1
Mining started in daemon
[wallet WmsJVr]:

Server says:
Mining has started with 1 threads, good luck!

Thanks for your help, I'm gonna make some adjustments now and rock this!

ccminer only pool mines for aeon or other cryptonotes. When the wallet says you're mining that means CPU mining.

Thank you for that last reply.

In concluding I understand this coin is a CPU/RAM coin of which I built my system around this same idea. I hope this coin sticks to the whitepaper ...

By now scrypt has already been applied in Litecoin [14] and some other Bitcoin forks.  How-
ever, its implementation is not really memory-bound:  the ratio “memory access time / overall
time” is not large enough because each instance uses only 128 KB. This permits GPU miners
to be roughly 10 times more effective and continues to leave the possibility of creating relatively
cheap but highly-efficient mining devices.

Moreover, the scrypt construction itself allows a linear trade-off between memory size and
CPU speed due to the fact that every block in the scratchpad is derived only from the previous.
For example, you can store every second block and recalculate the others in a lazy way, i.e.  only
when it becomes necessary.

This in turn implies that a machine with a CPU
200 times faster than the modern chips can store only 320 bytes of the scratchpad.

5.2    The proposed algorithm
We propose a new memory-bound algorithm for the proof-of-work pricing function.  It relies on
random access to a slow memory and emphasizes latency dependence. As opposed to scrypt every
new block (64 bytes in length) depends on all the previous blocks.  As a result a hypothetical
“memory-saver” should increase his calculation speed exponentially.
Our algorithm requires about 2 Mb per instance for the following reasons:
1.  It fits in the L3 cache (per core) of modern processors, which should become mainstream
in a few years;


Summary
Block time: 240 seconds  (Every 4 minutes)
Difficulty: re-targets at every block

Should I buy AEON now? Is it a good entry point?

You definitely should! the price is all time low. and the coin has potential to triple its price during the coming couple of months. if you have funds to spare then buy, transfer the coins to the private wallet, and wait until the price recovers. I guess the 10-12K range is ok to buy. it is very unlikely the price will go down much, though the up trend is starting to show its signs, so you can miss the big jump in price to like 18K

I still have AEON on poloniex and I just wanted to withdraw it to my offline Wallet.

But it is already for 24h on pending...

I have confirmed the e-mail for withdrawal.

Anybody else got the same problems?

[Mikanoshi]

aeond eats 6.5GB of memory, is this a joke?)
I guess there are no online wallets because no one in their right mind will run this RAM hungry daemon.
And Bittrex wallet is offline too, just great...

You can use it:

1) Use hitbtc.. wallet is ok..
2) Use simplewallet with another daemon, ex:
simplewallet --daemon-address node.aeon-wallet.net:11181

PS: I use simplewallet with node.aeon-wallet.net from weeks.. no problems.. works fine for me..

It was listed on poloniex until 2015 but then it got delisted.
So they still have my coins.

Thanks for the hint. Volume there is pretty low, however pumps happen on both hitbtc and bittrex

Bittrex +100%

This is insane... anyone know what is happening?

They process withdrawals for delisted coins manually from time to time. I'd suggest a support ticket if it isn't processed within a week or so, but given what has been reported about Poloniex support tickets generally you may be in for a long wait.

May I ask - are there any plans to implement AEON into an existing darknet market e.g. Dream?

[enzeperix]

Why the sudden pump on Bittrex ? Any news about the coin ? Did the price rise just naturally happen or is the result of an accomplishment ? On the official site I don't see any info about the team or a Slack channel. Where can we get  in tough with the devs ?

PUMP and DUMP! AEON market is totally artificial right now. there are holders with 20-50BTC investment in the coin. they want to exit now. the price went back once they unloaded their coins.

Hello,
is this Monero/Aeon Wallet generator safe to use?

https://github.com/moneromooo-monero/monero-wallet-generator/

I want to move my Aeon to an offline wallet.

Use the newest version:)

https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/6dr7q5/tool_modded_moneromooos_offline_wallet_generator/

Also make sure you use it offline for full security

Wait, what ? This is NOT the newest version, it's a fork made by someone else (judging by who did it, it's probably OK, but certainly definitely not mine). Check the URL (and signatures) before posting links.
