friends tell me if there is a compiled miner for xmrig AEON under Windows64. please share

XMRig can handle both CryptoNight and CryptoNight-Lite with the same binary, and Win64 binary is provided in the official release:

Maintenance update release (0.9.13.0) and development update

This maintenance release improves the portability and reliability of the existing (RAM-based) daemon implementation, and includes deployment notes for operators of important nodes, solo miners and pool operators.

This is being offered as an interim solution as the process of transitioning to the new (LMDB-based) daemon implementation proceeds. We have decided on a staged release for the new daemon, beginning with a new AEON testnet release expected next week. Following and after reviewing public community experience with the testnet we will be scheduling a planned hard fork to transition the main net to the new daemon.

It will be our recommendation to services which have suspended wallet operations to reenable them at this time, ideally with extended confirmation requirements to provide protection against any reoccurrences of the earlier network instability. However, review of logs from the past two months do not indicate that any such instability continues. We believe this is due to improved operational procedures by mining pools, and the deployment notes contained within the latest release should further minimize the possibility of such a recurrence.

Additional information about the testnet rollout will be available next week.

There are no Windows binaries at this time. Until they are added, trusted community members may wish to provide binaries, but all are advised to use caution whenever downloading binaries, or wait for official binaries.

Release notes:

Phoenix (0.9.13.0)

The maintenance release is recommended, especially for users of the RPC wallet.

In addition, anyone operating an important node or mining (solo mining or operating a pool; not pool client miners) should review the new deployment notes.

Numerous portability and compilation fixes (stoffu, appveyor)
RPC wallet exception handling for improved reliability (upstream from XMR/QCN, sammy007)
Added deployment notes in README

https://github.com/aeonix/aeon/releases/tag/v0.9.13.0

Until an official Windows binary is released, here's one built on AppVeyor configured by me:

https://ci.appveyor.com/project/stoffu/aeon/build/artifacts

[Arux]

no problem at first sight with windows compilation. the usual instructions are ok.

Code:

git clone https://github.com/aeonix/aeon.git aeon-0.9.13.0
cd aeon-0.9.13.0
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" -DBOOST_ROOT=c:/local/boost_1_64_0 ..
msbuild Project.sln /p:Configuration=Release /m

tested with: gitshell, boost 1.64 static, python 3.5, cmake 3.8.0, microsoft visual studio 2015 rtm

using now your windows binary

@all
lifted serenity pool now to the 9.13 daemon, lets see how the new daemon will behave in a pool environment^^

[Elder III]

Good news for AEON. Massive jump in price and exchange volume that has been growing for a few days straight now. Coupled with good news about update progress with the new testnet right around the corner. Good times for all of us who held and mined for the past 6-12 months (or longer).

how long AEON wallet offline for maintenance and whe are win wallet 

[GabryRox]

Hello everyone! I luckily invested in a few AEON about a year ago so obviously am very happy with the recent rise in price.  However, I am now considering pointing at least some of my mining rigs towards AEON, but cannot seem to find consistent information so hoping some experts here can help me out a bit.

Pool:  Seems that aeon-pool.com has the most miners currently, so is that the recommended pool to use for a US-based miner?

Miner:  this is where i am getting a bit confused... was assuming Claymore Cryptonight would work but didnt see it mentioned on any of the pool sites or AEON threads.  I'm looking for an AMD GPU miner (I have 4 rigs of 6x rx470s running Windows 10).  I found a wolf-miner on github but its over 2 years old.  I saw some more recent ones there but it says something about windows binaries that I do not understand.  Also, what is this "Stak" terminology?

Finally, are hashrates for AEON similar to XMR?  For instance, if I am getting 650 Mh/s per rx470 on XMR using Claymore, should I expect about that same hashrate with a recent AEON GPU miner?

Any info would be greatly appreciated!

1. Please consider using a smaller pool to spread the hash rate around or use the stratum proxy if you enough hash rate to solo mine. As long as you can get blocks 'regularly' (whatever that  means to you), you don't need to swarm onto the same pool as everyone else. A healthier mining network that is decentralized will improve confidence in the coin.

2. Hash rate for AEON should be higher than XMR on the same hardware. The ratio depends on the hardware.

Thanks for the feedback smooth! I agree with your first statement and have done that on other coins with good results, so will highly consider going with sumominer pool instead.

On point 2, that's what I was hoping to hear, so really eager to get at least 1 of my rigs up and running on AEON to see what it can do.

Do you have any recommendation mining-wise for AMD GPUs?

[Alley Volta]

I'm running 9.12 of the daemon & simplewallet on Mac and a few other little computers. It's been working great on everything.

XXXXX-MacBook-Pro:bin X$ aeond --version
2017-Sep-30 15:24:03.858257 Starting...
2017-Sep-30 15:24:03.858724 aeon v0.9.12.0()
aeon v0.9.12.0()
XXXXX-MacBook-Pro:bin X$ simplewallet --version
aeon wallet v0.9.12.0()

Q) Will the testnet require 9.13?

Thanks

Please could you indicate a good miner for win10, and a good pool?

Is there a way to mine this coin with gpu's any more or are we stuck mining with just cpu's .It's not worth mining anymore if i'm suck just using my cpu  I'v mined:9,130.310914581312 so far with my gpu's 4 7990's but im only geting around 3 a day mining with my cpu it's a amd fx 8120

An AMD FX 8120 will probably get somewhere near ~600 Hashrate at stock settings (Windows 10 Pro with locked pages enabled). It's probably worth mining with it if that PC is already going to be running for other purposes, but I don't know if I would run the PC solely to mine AEON on that CPU.

Thank you! I will try to compile the new version later after when I arrive home. But can I continue running version 0.9.12.0? Just in case I do not have any success in compiling it. My node is in a Windows PC and I do not have confidence compiling sources in it. They are much easier to do in Linux.

Do you have any recommendation mining-wise for AMD GPUs?

OK, so I feel like I am making a bit of progress towards getting a miner set up but would like to ask for some validation to make sure I am on the right track...

1- Pool:  planning to go with sumominer pool - I went there to try and register but don't see anywhere to do that. For these pools, can I therefore assume it's the non-registration model that just uses your wallet address to both track your rewards and paste into the code of the miner?  I think Ethermine is the same like this... just want to make sure I dont need to register on the pool.

2- I have an AEON wallet on Bittrex but of course that has been down for what seems like forever. So. I rezlized I need to create a new wallet somehow. I found the win64 AEON ZIP v0.9.12 off the official site and unpacked it.  I ran the aeond.exe and it just now completed synchronizing after a little under 2 hours.

From here, I understand I need to run the simplewallet.exe to set up my wallet.

3- After I get that address, I should be able to configure a miner, correct?

I have downloaded wolf GPU AEON miner .2 from github and unzipped it. This is quite a bit different from recent Claymore miners but this is what I THINK needs to be done to configure for AEON mining:

- open aeon.conf file in text editor
- replace "url" with:  stratum+tcp://aeon.sumominer.com:3335
- replace "user" address with my own wallet address created above
- save and exit config file
- run miner.exe

so... are those steps correct?  is there anything else that needs to be done in that config file?

Please could you indicate a (1)good miner for win10, and a (2)good pool?

I think I finally found the answers:

(2) https://minergate.com

Thx.

OK... so I just tried all of the above but it doesn't work. When I try to launch the miner.exe, it looks like very brief flash of window pops up but then disappears. I also trying running as Admin. This is a rig that I have been mining ETH & XMR on, so there should be no interference from things like virus software. Windows defender is the only thing on their but that has always come up with a prompt well after a new miner has been launched.

Clearly I have missed some critical piece but not sure what it is.  Do I need to enter other things into that config file like Algo, Pool, etc?

One thing I just thought of... I ran that aeonD blockchain sync on a different PC than the one I am trying to run the miner on.  Do I need to do that sync on each PC that I intend to mine on?  If so, does it need to keep running while miner is going or can it be exited after initially synced?

Try using the miner and steps shown in this thread.  I haven't used Wolf's miner, but I think it's similar. Or you could just use this one: https://github.com/shyba/aeon-stak-amd

It's a bit different, but if you check the readme and instructions it's not to bad to set up.
