Topic: [ANN] AEON [2019-09-27: Upgrade to version 0.13.0.0 ASAP HF@1146200 Oct 25] - page 119. (Read 625666 times)

The coin is abandoned by the dev, the price went down, so it became unprofitable to mine Aeons.

And I don't now if you noticed, even though the overall hash rate went down, the complexity of the blocks is pretty high. I know at least a couple of other CPU coins 2x more profitable than Aeons. so, why would one mine it if he could simply mine something else - sell it and then buy x2 more Aeons for the same hashrate

Right now the speculative people who don't care about mining and a real coin price in relation to HASH per $, dropped the price, so unless the price goes back to 24K the coin is doomed. Big holders of the coin should consider setting a buy wall at 22K on hitbit, it would benefit everyone, and bring back the miners

And to be honest, there is no reason right now, for Aeon price on hitbit to be so low, and there is no reason for bittrex to maintain the wallet for so long, so I guess, either bittrex doing this intentionally or out of negligence, you pick one, because there are no technical issues with the block chain right now it works flawlessly.

Does anyone know what happened to the hash rate? It went from 4Mh/s down to 2.75Mh/s. Why the sudden drop?

Crypto entered into hype 3 months ago. All crypto communities that hopes to survive should expand. AEON had one boost in mid 2016 and another now. We should also note that privacy is right now not hot in crypto. But it will get hot sooner or latter again.

That's about right, I get 580-630 on an i7 6700 at stock clocks (without locked pages enabled) using aeon-stak-cpu miner which is the best one out there imo.  On the other hand my Ryzen 1700X @ 4.0 ghz hits 2150, but it's much better at mining in general.

Just to let you know : I finally was able to sync the daemon, and the simplewallet, and also to pool mine. After some investigation, it seems that the problem was coming from Ubuntu : I was on 32bit, and I changed for 64bit.
After that I succeeded to make the config. and everything worked fine.
I finally decided to pool mine for the moment (at serenity of course, like you helped me alot ! ;-) ) : the sync of the aeond, and its storage after saving, was really long on my system.
By the way I don't really understand why it's so long (except for the first time of course)  : like the blockchain.bin is stored in his main part after the first sync, why is it so long to save the second or third time, although only a few blocks have been added to the chain? In other words it seems that the whole chain is saved entirely even if only a few elements are added ; in my noobs language,  it's a bit like making a new "save as" each time, instead of a simple "save". Maybe  I'm doing something wrong and missed something?

By the way I guess I need to upgrade and/or improve a bit my system to be able to run a private node, (maybe add some RAM, maybe tweak a little bit the overclock config.) but I'm really happy already to have been able to mine for the first time today :-). I'm now waiting impatiently for my first Aeon, and I'm very proud to have entered the Aeon world !

Hidden Jadestone was really useful and is a precious guide. Thanks for that.
I would just like to make a (constructive) remark about the site ; I don't know if you noticed it, but a lot of (if not all) the interlinks between the posts lead to a "404 page not found"; you have to navigate by the menu or the categories to reach the post you wanted to read. Maybe you want to fix that...

That's pretty slow. On i5-4570 (all stock, 16Gb ram @ 2 channels, win10, locked pages enabled) it's ~745h/s (without any other load), or ~748h/s after reboot and miner's clean start. Drops to ~550 with regualar web browsing though.

How to?

1) Use aeon-stack or xmrig
2) Enable lock pages (if not, may give up to ~30% hasharte drop depending on system)
3) Threads/cores/cache count:

2Mb L3, 2 cores (celerons etc.) = 2 single threads
3Mb L3, 2 cores, 2 threads (pentiums) = 2 threads, one double, one single
3Mb L3, 2 cores, 4 threads (modern pentiums) = 3 single threads, affinity 7 (--cpu-affinity 7 using miner key, or just using cmd: START /affinity 7 cmd /C "xmr-stak-cpu-notls.exe"). Or, one double + one single - about 3-5% slower, but less drop under system load.
4Mb L3, 2 cores, 2 threads (i3s) = 2 double threads
4Mb L3, 2 cores, 4 threads (i3s) = 4 single threads (or two double)
6Mb L3, 4 cores, 4 threads (i5s) = 3 double threads, affinity 7
8Mb L3, 4 cores, 4 or 8 threads (i7s) = 4 double threads

If you miner cannot use both single and double threads at the same time, launch two individual instances.

I'm seeing about 600h/sec on an i7-7700

What's the current most optimized cpu miner for Aeon, I'm seeing about 600h/sec on an i7-7700 which seems low with the one i'm using right now.

Myself, I mine Aeon (and other coins) not for immediate profit, but with the expectation that the price will be much higher in the future.

So I'm definitely going to keep mining for now.

At this point, community contributions are the best thing to increase the value of the coin. The community has really expanded recently.

Any news on Bittrex unlocking wallets? I cannot mine without one, and I really have hope in Aeon to reach some new heights.
So mine it and hold it, that's the way to do it.
