Aeon is apparently not working correctly.

If and when the work to rebase the coin is complete, we might expect a bump.

We will probably also see a big dump, soon after.

The fact that we have nearly zero "progress" info is not good.

On the other hand, if the improved blockchain version is really good, we could see a sustained upswing.

As for the use of cell phones for this coin, unless and until phones become more secure, anyone who stores their coins on a phone is a future victim of theft.

You do not get the real idea behind Aeon. Running an Aeon wallet in mobile devices is nothing. That can be done today by all of the coins and upload them in Google Play.

What smooth has planned to do is to make Aeon very light so that it could run full nodes in mobile devices. Maybe also mine in them if the CPU is powerful enough.

wow like nimiq but anonymous?

[bbc.reporter]

@Coinchange. If nimiq is built to run in mobile devices, then yes. But its not only anonymous, it has a better lead developer than nimiq. Smooth has a proven track record in the cryptospace, the developers in nimiq do not.

@bbc.reporter

Not sure what it is "I don't get," but according to John McAfee current cell phone (smart phone) tech is not at place where your data is even remotely secure.

MacAfee ain't no dummy, even if he might be unhinged.

I'd say you don't grasp the problem.

[bbc.reporter]

@rickgejr. I was talking about Aeon nodes not wallets. The blockchain is secured by proof of work. If Aeon has gained much support from miners then good luck attacking the blockchain.

Also John Mc Afee will say a lot of things to get attention. Do not take him seriously.

SUMO EASY MINER - v0.1 BETA 1.3

This is probably the world's most easy and intuitive CPU miner created by Sumokoin dev team. The miner is mainly for those who want to start mining Sumokoin (SUMO), yet you can freely use it to mine any cryptonote-based cryptocurrencies like Monero (XMR), Aeon (AEON), Boolberry (BBR), DigitalNote (XDN) etc by just adding new pools.

The miner includes almost all features you may dream about for a mining software like changing number of threads (i.e. CPU cores used), CPU priority, pool info/config on the fly. It can save status and restart from the point you left when quitting and not to mention nice real-time graphs incorporated into an extremely intuitive GUI.

F.A.Q.

1. Why did your team create a miner while there are many others already out there?

- Sumo Easy Miner is created for everyday people who want to start mining Sumokoin (SUMO) and other cryptonote-based cryptocurrencies like Monero (XMR), Aeon (AEON), Boolberry (BBR), DigitalNote (XDN) etc. without any hassle. The team found a number of GUI miners out there but all of them are either not user-friendly enough or not open enough in our opinion.


2. How good the miner in comparison to popular command-line CPU miners?

- In hashing speed, it's comparable to the famous Cpuminer client but slower than Stak (xmr-stak-cpu). However, Sumo Easy Miner can hardly freeze or crash your computer if you don't try to overuse it. We can say that it's very stable though only a beta software.


3. What is the best setup to fully utilize the miner?

- Because you can change number of mining threads and CPU priority on the fly, you can easily find the best setup for your own machine. Sometimes, selecting all cores for mining may not result in the best performance especially when CPU HyperThreading is enabled. If you want to use computer for other jobs along with mining, "Idle" priority would be your best friend.


4. Does the miner work with GPU?

- No. It's a pure CPU miner. We think that GPUs require advanced programming and are too diversified to support properly in a simple, easy-to-use GUI software so no plans for supporting them (yet)


5. How can I remove default Sumokoin pool?

- Default pool is not removable, yet you can always hide it like any other pool.

Open source software no hidden fees

I call bullshit. No source provided, just binaries on a dropbox. The author is not honest.
I would stay away from any blobs from members I don't trust. Even if source is published on github I would better compile it myself after reading source code.

Everyone please be careful with it.

I just got an answer from poloniex to withdraw all my coins from there.
Is it safe to withdraw all coins to a paper wallet now?

I used this paper wallet generator: https://github.com/moneromooo-monero/monero-wallet-generator/

[bzyzny]

Sammy007 I agree compiling from source is best. Billaue post does say the source will be available soon, I recommend checking back soon. Here is their github link:

https://github.com/sumoprojects

The easy miner is in beta so they probably want to polish up the code before releasing it

I suppose that Monero wallet its not the same as AEON wallet.

The most similar its use a simplewallet in a fresh windows 7 install without internet connections, and then burn it.

You can choose between XMR and AEON Wallet in this generator. I think I have a legit AEON Wallet now.

Linux on a thumbdrive is better than Windows, no need to even burn it

I agree with sammy007,

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

for amd gpu, i pushed a win64 binary as i didn't find any official.
https://github.com/Arux-BTT/aeon-stak-amd/files/959843/aeon-stack-amd_b69dd9b.zip
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)

Guys i am count as a noob. i just started AEON with an AMD R7 260x OC edition GPU and using the miner which is at the quoted message top.

First of all i just edited config file =wallet and mining pool adress and saved, nothing more and i just clikced the exe.

The question is do i need to edit config file more to boost my hashrate for this GPU. I am getting around 380-400 h/s is it low for this card ? Any tricks ? thank you

(i am mining at https://aeon-pool.com/ and using windows 10 x64 + latest amd drivers.

[bbc.reporter]

@Optikopti. I am not a miner but I reckon Aeon is more efficiently mined using CPU because of its cryptonight lite algorithm. For your question, post it in /r/Aeon on Reddit. Hihoguy will be more than happy to help you over there. He is one of the biggest miners in the Aeon community.

Thanks for the answer. i already posted that question there. hope he may see it

That new miner sounds pretty sweet, but Sumokin had a rough launch and I'd want to see the source for a program like that before trying to use it. Looks like a lot of work went into it. While I like free stuff, I also like to know where the benefit is to the developer before fully trusting it... or viewing the 'open source'.

The mere fact that they released the binary before publishing the source code already creates a strong sense of doubt that they could be scamming.

Visually appealing GUI programs like this miner and MinerGate's miner cost a lot of money to develop, so it's natural to suspect that their primary intent can be in enriching themselves by scamming instead of contributing to the community.

[alzander]

And most importantly, one of the main original developers behind Monero is the developer that created and still with Aeon.

That's not correct. Aeon was launched by an anonymous dev aeon who abandoned it after three months:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=641696.msg8699107#msg8699107

Smooth helped maintain the seed nodes and patched a few bugs during that time, and the community welcomed him as the new dev.
The history back then is IMO quite interesting & exciting, a highly recommended read.

Also this thread is worth checking out:

[ANN] AEON rebrand, new thread, new developer team (positions open)

I stand corrected. I got into AEON a earlier this year and guess my history is a lot more limited than I thought. Thanks for the links and info. Every coin usually has a pretty convoluted story a year or so down the road and AEON is no different
