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

[Durins Bane]

Hi,

First of all, I'm pretty impressed by the dev of Aeon, and want to congratulate all the dev working hard on this project.

I've encourter an issue since a week now, I try to find some workaround, but nothing work from my side. I can't synchronise to the blockchain with aeond.exe (either version 0.9.12 or 0.9.13, or even with the last 0.9.14)

The Error message is this following one :

...
Core rpc server initialized OK on port: 11181
Initializing core...
 Loading blockchain...
 ERROR C:\Users\Arno\Documents\GitHub\aeon-0.9.13.0\src\common/boost_serialization_helper.h:108 Exception at [unserialize_obj_from_file], what=vector<T> too long
 Can't load blockchain storage from file, generating genesis block.

 ERROR C:\Users\Arno\Documents\GitHub\aeon-0.9.13.0\src\daemon\daemon.cpp:191 Failed to initialize core
 Mining has been stopped, 0 finished

Strange things : I haven't done any change localy, it just stop working and show me this message one days.

I don't undertand why some script try to access to a folder users name call "Arno" It's not mine for sure, looks likes some rest of a local path in the code from one dev ? It's me or it could be cleaner ?

Any idea to get throught this ?

Thanks by advance.

Everyone sees this not just you, just ignore it. Shouldn't affect you

The problem is that I don't synchronise anymore, the cmd windows close immediatly after the Error message, and I can't sync simplewallet :

Error: wallet failed to connect to daemon (http://localhost:11181). Daemon either is not started or passed wrong port. Please, make sure that daemon is running or restart the wallet with correct daemon address.

I see that aeon-pool(dot)com has put a notice to encourage miners to mine on other pools in order to help decentralizing the network and prevent a pool from having more than 50% of the entire network's hash. That's a really nice move. 

One thing that discourage miners from moving to a different pool is the pending balance below the payment threshold (the so called 'dust'). Even 0.001 AEON will be worth something in the near future. 

So, I have a  suggestion to pool operators:

If a miner stops mining on your pool for, let's say, 24 or 48 hours then all the pending balance (no matter how small) should be paid to the miner.

Just my 2 satoshis

I agree that this is a problem, and I like your solution. The only consideration is that the solution should not cost the pool transaction fees. Provided the dust owed to the miner is more than the tx fee, should be good!

This coin has always been great to mine. Sleeping giant right here!

The problem is that I don't synchronise anymore, the cmd windows close immediatly after the Error message, and I can't sync simplewallet :

Error: wallet failed to connect to daemon (http://localhost:11181). Daemon either is not started or passed wrong port. Please, make sure that daemon is running or restart the wallet with correct daemon address.

sounds like a corrupt blockchain, delete the file named blockchain.bin at c:\Users\your_username\AppData\Roaming\aeon then relaunch aeond.exe. it will re-sync from sratch. i don't have any explanation (several possible causes)

and yes, C:\Users\Arno\Documents\GitHub\aeon-0.9.13.0 is a rest of a local path of my windows computer.

Thanks ! I'll try that and will feedback about the result.

Ok probably going to show my naivete a little bit but Ive tried to run both versions of the simple wallet (0.9.13 and 0.9.14) and I keep getting the following error after I type my password:

Error: wallet failed to connect to daemon (http://localhost:11181). Daemon either is not started or passed wrong port. Please, make sure that daemon is running or restart the wallet with correct daemon address.

Open to suggestions here. I'm not really sure how to control this quite honestly.

**edit- I realized I didnt add that I did try the Refresh command. No luck

You need to run aeond, and you need to let it sync (2-48 hours depending on several factors), then you can run your wallet.

Great - Thanks. For some reason I was thinking simplewallet was a way to connect to the network without getting a full sync.

Your solution was the good one, for unknown reason the blockchain.bin was corrupted, everything is working again now. (0.9.13)

In a other subject.
I use this time to change pool on my workers, and not use "aeon-pool.com" again, which is in a bad way to be upper the 50% ... Not good for the decentralization.
Decide to use "aeon.n-engine.com" pretty new, but look solid.

Well, there is a way, by using a public node. There aren't too many of them so far for Aeon, and by using them, you may give up some privacy. Here's a list on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Aeon/comments/73829j/public_nodes_new_list/

You're absolutely right!
But this begs the question: why exactly should a denomination unit be imposed when paying miners? I mean, why not pay everything owed to the miner up until the last decimal in the first place (leaving the miner with a pending balance of 'zero' after each payment)?

What was with the recent Aeon price? Classic pump and dump?

[alzander]

What was with the recent Aeon price? Classic pump and dump?

No, not really (that I know of). Read the last few pages of this thread and it should be clear that Aeon trading was (mostly) halted for the last few months.. once the exchanges opened their AEON wallets up for deposits and withdrawals, the natural course took place of people getting excited the coin could be traded more liquidly now and those who had it for a long time were excited to be able to finally sell it somewhere.

Don't think there was much p'n'd in this case.. but time will tell if it stabilizes and goes up (my prediction is that it will).

Hello everyone! aeond.exe begins to download the entire blockchain in computer memory. Is this how it should be?

Hello everyone! aeond.exe begins to download the entire blockchain in computer memory. Is this how it should be?

Yes, and therefore your computer needs to have enough RAM (at least 6~8GB). This problem will be solved in the near future when the underlying database technology gets replaced.
