Development update

The pruning testing has gone well with no major problems reported. I will wait for testing to continue for several more days while looking into the idea of explicitly blocking older wallets from trying to restore from a pruned node.

The next major item is to be the GUI integration, which I spent some time on a while back, but put on hold to finish up pruning. I'm resuming that now.

In addition I have an additional anonymity improvement to release, which will probably come with the official pruning version. Already my opinion is that obscure little AEON has the soundest implementation of anonymity of all cryptocurrencies, with the new improvement it will be even better.

I'm also taking steps to address the mining decentralization, which I will be announcing soon.

As always feedback, suggestions, offers of assistance, donations (especially via donation mining which also helps decentralize the network), criticism, and encouragement are welcome.

Pruning and GUI will both be nice but I am most curious about your anonymity comments.

Are you willing to elaborate about how the implementation you have in mind will be the soundest of current alternatives?

@skidog,

That is really low hashrate, is that for the Xeon i7, or the Xeon x3 1231 v3? This latter one has AES-NI, so it should run much faster. Perhaps that older Xeon i7 does not have AES-NI? That's really the key factor that most influences hashrate, other than cache, which sets the optimal number of threads.

XEON X3 1231 V3 I am mining using minergate. Maybe that is the problem. I can change. Using windows 7 pro 64bit. Any suggestions on a miner?

You use their application for mining, right? Do you set the number of cores more than the default 1 or 2?

I'm not sure what a Xeon X3 is but if that is a typo for E3 then this is the model:

http://ark.intel.com/products/80910/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E3-1231-v3-8M-Cache-3_40-GHz

which does have AES-NI and a pretty high clock rate.

Probably yes. But mining the coin is also important in order to decentralize the hash rate and improve security. The current situation with low concentrated hash rate is a negative that probably weights on the value and makes the future uncertain.

So if you are investing or otherwise supporting the coin please consider mining to a lower-hash rate pool (not minergate) and/or solo mining.

^ Emphasis mine.

This is right on point Smooth. I just peeked at the Minergate stats for their AEON pool, and it shows about 6400 workers right now... I dare speculate this is some botnet's new home (Minergate, that is). Adding that they run a closed source pool, could/should we remove it from the OP's pool list?

Yes I think it is reasonable to remove it from the list as long as has such a high hash rate share. Good suggestion.

Well started mining. I dont have much just an extra cpu. An older xeon i7. I will let it run for a while. What kind of speed should i get with xeon x3 1231 v3 ? Looks like im getting 160 H/s with 4 cores running. temps around 55c to 58c on all cores. Pulling about 80 watts. from the wall. Runs at 55 watts without mining so power is pretty low.

That hash rate seems low to me. I don't know why though. You should be able to run 8 threads on that CPU, but even with 4 threads I would expect quite a bit more than 160.

Anyone else have an issue with the new AMD miner in that it does start hashing, confirmed by hashrate on the pool, but after a while seems to stop finding/submitting shares?

The miner appear to be hashing, but the pool hashrate drops to zero. Is there some way to turn on logging?

Cheers

I'm back running a light-node since the latest release, but not mining right now. I'll be back solo-mining as soon as I can dedicate the CPU time again, and I encourage everyone else to do the same. Any reasonable/recent CPU will earn you a block every two or three days, while a high end one should get almost a daily hit.

you'd much better save electricity and buy AEONs.

I guess that the hashrate centralisation and low profit for gpu issues both are due to botnets and people having a lot of pc mining for them at no cost.
Maybe VTC made a good choice when they changed Lyra2RE to Lyra2REv2 to favor gpus over cpus.

I'm getting about 940 H/s on a gtx 970, is that any good?

Looks about right pallas, since that is roughly double the performance for that same card on regular cryptonight.
Note that the high end nvidias do not hash particularly well with either version (cryptonight or cryptonight-light), the best performance per core and performance per watt are by far in favor of the 750TI. Maybe you could fix this? Grin

Sidenote: IIRC, djm34 is already working on improving the cryptonight ccminer base. Once that is done, an improved cryptonight-light version should be fairly easy to build.

that could be fun; but if I work on it I'd like to use it as well, and with the current profitability it's a no go.
you'd much better save electricity and buy AEONs.

I don't know how active djm34 is on that project. Im not saying that one could hijack the pitch, but he's blown through all of his proposed timelines.

I dont think so, my fx does 850.

what power usage? the 970 is at half power, about 100W.

Thats about the same as an cpu.
