Hey. How can I view the balance and transactions of AEON wallet at its address. Bitcoin balance can be viewed at https://www.blockchain.com/explorer?view=btc_blocks. What about the AEON wallet balance? I found a wallet archive for 2017. I want to see the balance and whether it makes sense to restore the wallet. Thanks.

You need to download the software and open the wallet. There is no way to see a balance in a public explorer.

Oh the benifits of cryptonote

@bigslimvdub. Hehehe. Also, Aeon might be the answer for the balancing of privacy and scaling. In retrospect, we made the correct decision not including RingCT.

At first I was on the monero train but then I stood back and looked at real world every day use and it doesn’t make sense unless you are looking for ultimate privacy. Imo the only reason you would need that kind of privacy is if your doing something illegal. I’m not saying everyone who uses monero does so for illegal purposes but outside that, who cares how many coins are moving on the chain if you don’t know where they are going to or where they are coming from. It’s interesting to analyze aeon movements but really I could care less if I knew who was doing it or not. It really adds a ton of bloat to the chain which in turn slows down full syncs which sometimes are needed ie: blockchain corruption.

[bbc.reporter]

@bigslimvdub. I am supportive of Monero, however, have you tried running a node after RingCT update? Syncing it became harder and it might not be sustainable for longterm. Bullet proofs reduced the size of blocks, however. But still bigger than before RingCT.

@smooth. Is there more possibilty for Aeon to reduce the size of blocks?

[smooth]

I don't know of any way to make the blocks smaller at this time.

Yes someone had done a Comparison for Aeon as is block size and then RingCT average block size and then ringCT + BP avg block size. I don’t recall specifically but I believe that if integrating both at the same time the median size was smaller than current. But that would be before increased use of the chain (more tx per block) where it would end up being larger than just keeping as is and scaling. Unfortunately you can’t use just BP at this time hence why I remember stoffu saying just leave it as is until there is a better solution that’s also more efficient/less bloat.

@smooth - did you ever get around to any ideas how to prevent or help mitigate diff changes from large hash rate dropoffs?

[bbc.reporter]

@smooth. I did not mean make blocks smaller. Make blocks more efficient for the data utilizing the space outside of the space for transactions.

Also, is the research lab working on something like this on Monero?

Have not opened the GUI wallet in a while. On version 0.13.1.0 and it will not open. Does the Aeon-wallet.exe, rpc  and cli need to be ran first and synced before opening the gui?

I also hadn't run the GUI wallet in a few months but just doing it now and it started up no problem (I didn't run anything else, either.)  Still downloading blocks, atm. Perhaps you should restart your computer and try again.

Not making a lot of connections: 3 (out) + 0 (in), so it may be a while before getting all downloaded and synced up.

[smooth]

With '0 (in)' you may have your port blocked. That's okay, it'll still work, but you can get more connections if you open it.

I get this in aeond:  2020-05-10 17:40:14.960 [P2P8]  WARN    global  src/p2p/net_node.inl:1339       No incoming connections - check firewalls/routers allow port 11180

But it looks like the port 11180 is open. I checked on canyouseeme.org. I also have UPnP enabled and aeon is listed under the UPnP service list.

After 24 hours uptime, now showing 8(out)+0(in). I am fully synced, though, so it is working, like you said.

Any ideas for me to try? Just want to help the network.

Also, monerod is working fine with many connections in and out.

EDIT: A couple aeond entries in my Windows Defender Firewall Inbound Rules list were blocked. I changed them to "Allow the connection". I am now getting in and out connections!

@estenity. Who is that? He has 68 followers only hehe.

Who owns the account of @aeoncurrency on Twitter and who owns @aeoncoin which is more active? I think americanpegasus on the first one and bigslimvdub on the other one?

@bbc.reporter
I am not sure that am.pegasus/Katie is still with us.

[bbc.reporter]

@estenity. She is not with us anymore, I know. The other question was for everyone else. I know americanpegasus might be the owner of the old @aeoncurrency account, however, there is also an active @aeoncoin account on Twitter. Who is it?

I created an AEON article on Medium: https://medium.com/@NewBtcOrder/aeon-may-19-2020-6f12a4ac3534

[bbc.reporter]

@AdamCox9. Thank you.

In any case, where is smooth? Taking everything about the coronavirus pandemic into consideration, I am very worried.

Huh? I answered your question in the Steem/Hive thread. I guess maybe you posted this earlier and I didn't see it. I don't have COVID-19. All is well here.
