@bigslimvdub. It might not be a random pump. The whale is buying up to now and supporting the price hehe.
In any case, do we have a hardfork about to occur? Also, where can we find some data on Aeon's hashrate?
There is no hardfork planned at this time.
Explorers are listed on the web site and will show an estimated hash rate, but of course, that is always an imperfect estimate.
This guy's site is typically very accurate for current hash rates. (
https://miningpoolstats.stream/aeon) It gathers off API from all known public mining pools for Aeon (and other coins). Judging by the hash rate we saw on Monday come online it appears it
could have been ASIC testing since it all came at one time on one pool known for heavy Asic mining support. The current hash rate of the highest output public FPGA is about 82Gh. That would only mean someone with 20 of these could have switched to Zergpool from another FPGA coin and then dropped off after Aeon dumped back to $.14. It appears they did not come back whatever it was.
It's silly how we had 142Gh for 2 days after that miner dropped.
@smooth - Any thoughts on adding some sort of diff bomb handling so that the network does not come to a grinding halt when someone wants to spam the network like this? I do not think even Monero has this but it would definitely be an attack vector if Monero switched to FPGA friendly algo too.
