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

[smooth]

Is there any checksum to verify here
https://github.com/aeonix/aeon
that I have downloaded the secure version of AEON source code?

If you are cloning the repo then git does its own hashing. Check the hash with git log and compare with the GitHub site.

If you mean the binaries, then no I don't think so, but we can start doing that.

AEON uses old-style mnemonics, before they were changed in Monero. They're not compatible.

Hmm. Yea they are not directly compatible, but are they like almost?

Check this.

Mnemonic seed

The mnemonic seed is a string that comprises 24 (Aeon) or 25 (Monero) words and allows you to recreate your private keys. Keep it secure!

https://moneroaddress.org/

Both, Monero and AEON are mentioned there. So I was wondering, that there could be selected either 24 or 25 first words from the mnemonic seed, depending is the seed used for AEON or Monero.

Works for Aeon

Well ok. durinsmine.com works for AEON while moneroaddress.org does not. I just do not understand why AEON is mentioned there?

moneroaddress.org does not work even if you select AEON at the top of the page? If not that should be reported to the maintainer of the site.

I lost one aeon that I sent to an address generated by moneroaddress.org as an experiment.

I had not noticed there is a Monero/Aeon tab at the top of that page. Probably the seed works when the tab is selected for either respective coin.

I do not know what is "cloning the repo". I just clicked the green tab with whit white text written "Clone or download" and then clicked the "Download ZIP".

Also I do not know how to check the hash with git log and how to compare it with the GitHub site.


This is what I usually do.

t@t:~/T$ sha256sum aeon-master.zip
03e520e9e5ae473ed5eff0704a5c4605462fb0f8aab6e40498e10fa395154a2b  aeon-master.zip

But in this case I do not know where to compare that checksum.

To clone the repo type:

   $ git clone https://github.com/aeonix/aeon

Now do this:

   $ cd aeon
   $ git checkout v0.9.14.0           <---- use the current release here
   $ git log

The first hash shown there should match the tagged release hash shown at the upper left on the release page (https://github.com/aeonix/aeon/releases). The hash is abbreviated there but if you click on it you can find the full hash.

You can now build from that directory knowing that your source code is exactly in sync with the tagged release.

I don't really know what the ZIP download does, I've never used it. Possibly it is the same.

@smooth. Is this a blockchain reorg, and is this something we should have concern about? I see this repeating over and over for 3 days already.

Also, the last time I saw this happen was before the emergency update to 0.9.13.0 of which I am still running.



Now I see this.

Those send que size messages can be ignored.  They are stuck connections where the peer stopped responding. Unfortunately the code doesn't do a great job of ignoring those cleanly.

If it bothers you a lot just restart the node.

Aeon can POS work in wallet or not? Not find info about this
on cpu i5 2500 is very slow mine( but 5 coins already have

[deztroyr1]

hello guys,
i'm trying to get the wallet to work (for the first time).
unfortunately i can't seem to connect: Failed to connect to any of seed peers, continuing without seeds
anything i can do to get it to connect? thx

Aeon can POS work in wallet or not? Not find info about this

Aeon does not have Proof of Stake, and I'm not aware of any working Cryptonote coin that has it.

Incidentally though, there was a PoS Cryptonote project called Louis d'or. While there's no release in sight, the PoW hash used by Aeon was originally developed in that project.

From today on I have problems getting AEON wallet to sync - "Block verification failed". Anyone else experiencing similar problems?

[makko91]

Can I ask if the people here have AEON because they mined or they just bought them?
Looks that for aeon mining is not that bad... while in general buying is a much simpler (and probably rewarding) option...

[bTee]

I am mining AEON, have an idling computer (NAS) where I use the CPU on low priority. It's worth it!

[Durins Bane]

Does anyone happen to know what causes socket errors from miners?

Getting some error messages from the daemon that I didn't seen before.

No, this is your daemon correctly rejecting a wrong chain. You don't need to restart the sync.

Could someone tell how to compile AEON wallet from source to Linux Ubuntu.

I think you should basically just need to install cmake, boost libraries, and build-essential package, cd into aeon directory and type "make"

Pretty much this and there is also some information in the README

Whats this about in Aeond is someone trying to double spend?

> block height: 406

It looks like someone tried to mine new blocks starting with the early chain. Your node correctly rejected it.

[Dastrike351]

Did some of you got strange thing happening... it like someone is writing line on my own wallet. Also got endless error.

Hello folks, maybe some one can point me to where i can read in nuthsell about this one:
"Cryptonight-Lite: Louis d’or whitepaper; crypto_zoidberg, doe1138; December 8, 2014. Previously: Cryptonight" ?
Thanks in advance.
