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

[estenity]

happy to see a potential renewed interest.
bear market was our killer  (as for many other coins).

Just upgraded to newest 0.12.9.0 version from 0.12.5.0 on Mac. Daemon won't start, just get this for a long time then a screen "Daemon failed to start". Not sure what to do.

Also, the app won't quit. Just get spinning wheel of death forever...

Try to restart PC. If it doesn't help, find aeond.exe (should probably be called like that, don't remember of the top of my head). Launch aeond.exe first and then launch gui wallet.

I reckon Aeon should begin going back to its original vision hehehe.

@smooth. Is this in the roadmap or has Aeon moved on only to follow Monero's development as closely as it can?



Taiwainese mobile phone manufacturer HTC is launching a more affordable blockchain phone with full Bitcoin BTC node capabilities.

How are you going to run a full BTC node on 120GB storage? 240..?. yea 512GB storage is a must to run that. So glad Aeon chain can be stored on most 16GB Smartphones and run a node pice of cake.

Side note, Aeon seems it will fork away from Monero even more soon. Aeon only picking up security and other necessary patches to keep it rolling steadily.

I reckon you need to get more experience in using the real software released by the projects itself and run a node to get to know them better. You would learn about pruning by now if you did.

I have no desire to run a full BTC node. I have a LTC node however that is about 17GB unpruned.

I run a few Aeon nodes that require no pruning and will likely never need pruning for a long, long , long , long, long , long ,long time unless there is some massive increase in daily TX's. Which by the way have increased a bunch the past 2 months or so. 

IMO if you want to operate a full node, you need the entire blockchain with every transaction in history validated individually by yourself or you are "trusting" that other people are true. I don't personally like to trust others with my money. So far from what I've found, Aeon is the only established chain that can do this on an every day mobile device creating a true mobile, decentralized and private blockchain. It just works, no pruning required.

crypto transactions without internet coming now

it seems to me that lespristy for aeon worked on something similar? no news for a while..

Note that fully validating all blocks and pruning some of the blockchain data are not mutually exclusive. You can always choose to remove all the downloaded ring signatures once verified by yourself for space savings; the only downside of doing so is that you can't help new participants sync the chain from scratch because you threw away the signatures. You do need to keep the entire set of tx outputs and key images though because otherwise you can't verify new ring signatures coming in as well as you can't select decoys to form ring signatures when making new txes.

Pruning signatures is a valid option for mobile devices even in a fully trustless setup.

with 7 going on 8gb db size I am unsure pruning is needed for Aeon any time soon. It would not hurt to have it implemented by Moneromoo though.

Any idea about the sudden pump?

[bigslimvdub]

so when v0.13.0 ?

[two40xwunup]

Any idea about the sudden pump?

Yes, i know why it pumped.  A certain newsletter recommended it.  Privacy is the future is what they're saying.  It seems like they front loaded Aeon and that is why you saw the 2 month volume increase.  They say also that Monero could be the next "Bitcoin" in the next few years, not literally but the massive pump potential because rich folks are going to want to hide their wealth.  Buy both?  This is how i found out about this coin, otherwise it would remain unnoticed.

[estenity]

would be interesting to know which newsletter recommended aeon..

It seems that members who are followers of the newsletter may not have been educated as much as they could have about the project. Aeon has great potential with a very SOLID base blockchain and Core code. I hope that these new followers will stay to see what Aeon has to offer. Aeon turns 5 on June 6th!

However, you would not have raised your argument if you knew about pruning from the beginning. Also, pruning in Monero was from research and tests done in Aeon, I reckon. Everyone should use it if they must.

Congrats! AEON has been added into our lightened list. Would be great to see it traded on some truly decentralized exchange some day.

[camthegeek]

Since today (6/6/2019) is AEON's 5th year of operation, when is the announcement for masternodes going to be released?       

Totally kidding. Congrats to the ol' AEON blockchain for surviving 5 years of privacy and outlasting the majority of other coins out there! AEON opened the doors for many coins to come into existence over the years! Many more to come, right?

testing new improvements proposed by our developer u/stoffu

https://www.reddit.com/r/Aeon/comments/c1h6f3/call_for_testing_some_prs/

I updated the community blockchain explorer repo based off Stoffu's k12 integrations on his own repo. Feel free to run it on testnet after building the latest pr108 (or master after its merged) https://github.com/AEONCommunity/onion-aeon-blockchain-explorer/tree/K12

Additional interest sent to FireIce for Stak miner feature request for k12: https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak/issues/2456

Looks like Bendroid may be adding k12 to XMrigCC in an upcoming release if we get a clear fork date.

Vulkanminer from Enerc looks like it was working on testnet, have not tried any latest updated but it was having issues with Nvidia until he made a patch. Waiting on that to get merged to release status.

XMrig may not be adding Aeon as no time given for fork but it has been a few months since Stoffu originally asked about it. Forked repo and built Binaries are available for Windows, Linux, and Mac os for CPU miner from various sources. 

Seems we have a few FPGA bitstreams in the works for k12, nothing "official" yet due to no fork date released. 17Gh on testnet right now.

No word from any ASIC manufacturers if they are attempting to make Asics or not.

Waiting on testnet pools to test out CN universal and also verify nodejs-pool code is working and fork that to the community repo. Need to make sure there are no bugs there.

Apparently, there is a private mining OS waiting on Aeon for integration. They have been testing privately on their unknown hardware and software. They declined to give more information about what it is.

Aeon Price has been pretty stable since the latest bump up. That is a good thing. Remained interest in the project =).
