I know we're few but please try to keep up some nodes, at least when you can spare the resources. Currently I am only connected to 5 nodes.

Does AEON head version from smooth repo run on ARM (like a raspberry pi) given there is enough memory ?

It runs completely, except for the memory issue. I don't think there is enough virtual address space on ARM to handle it at this point, Even with pruning I got an out of memory error when I tested it. So this will have to wait for database support.

I'm skeptical that it is a botnet.
These normally gravitate towards coins with significant enough daily trade volume, and those with hashrate high enough that overall difficulty is not substantially affected. With AEON today, both of these factors quickly make the mining returns unprofitable, generally speaking. Though, perhaps that is why he/they is/are mining on Minergate?  Roll Eyes

Wasn't there a cryptonote pool exploit allowing miners to send duplicate shares? I think minergate still has that exploit and that the hashrate reported by that miner is way off. At the moment the HR reported by minergate is higher than that of the entire network which I find hard to believe (even when taking into account the different methods of assessing the HR).

Edit: otoh, he is finding almost every block. So forget what I wrote above. Maybe someone wants to kill AEON? Smooth certainly has enough scammers guys holding a grudge against him...

Back from DoS land now. The router gets in some weird state where new connections can't get through, but existing ones usually stay fine.
It'll be like that till the botnet realizes it's getting only 250 IPs mining and moves away. Sorry about that.




Where is your hosting?

I can hardly imagine the urgency of mining so many coins, that a single individual/miner would assign so much hashrate that he is single-handedly doubling the difficulty. This person would earn a lot more coins, by mining with half the hashrate for twice the duration[1]

Perhaps his hardware/system access is such that he must point his hashrate in "all or nothing" fashion? So maybe he hops from one coin to another, in order to diversify his mining returns. Just wild guessing though, I do find this interesting.
 
[1] Unless he is somehow anticipating some paramount circumstance that would render mining much less rewarding, in a very short time... which doesn't make much sense to me

Very unlikely "a single individual". I bet it's a botnet.

I guess he is THE problem.

Minergate is consistently above 50% hashrate with the help of only 1 miner.

Due to my connection being hammered for a couple days and not seeming to stop, I have now instated a limit of 250 connections per address. I believe this should be ample for most people, while keeping that person connecting from about 5000 different IPs from essentially DoSing me and other miners. If you're getting a "Too many connections" message back when logging in to the mining port, and aren't using many miners, please let me know (reconnections and timeouts mean that 250 connections may be temporarily reached if you have maybe a hundred miners).

If you mine with PPLNS it will take about 4-5 hours to appear your first payment.

Ah okay, I can explain this part. With PPLNS you are paid for your shares on a trailing basis. That is, when you start mining you will be paid little or nothing until you fill the window (which is the 'N' and varies by the pool). Once you have been mining for a while you will continue to be paid for a while even after you stop mining. This makes up for the portion of mining at the beginning where you were paid little or nothing.

i've had 500 good shares and 1 bad share, how is that?

Sounds normal to me but I'm not an expert on pool miners.

also, how much is 0.1 aeon worth?

Not much. 1 AEON is worth about 0.00002 BTC.

Maybe in the future it could be worth more (or less)

also how long does it take a transaction to confirm?

The average is 4 minutes.

am i the only miner? my coins dont get confirmed unless im mining

You're certainly not the only miner, and its also unlikely you would find blocks quickly enough to consistently mine your own transactions unless you have a massive hash rate.

Are you even connected to the network?

What does print_cn show?
im mining through minergate, what is another miner i can use? GUI please
If you mine with PPLNS it will take about 4-5 hours to appear your first payment. With PPS it will appear almost instantly.
On all other pools the time varies: If it is a large pool and finds plenty of blocks, it will take 4-6 hours. In smaller pools maybe it will take 1 day or more (say 8- 15 hours to find a block + 4 hours to mature).

Okay so I guess you are using a miner and not running a node. I don't understand how that would relate to your coins being confirmed at all. Maybe it has something to do with how the minergate miner works. But I'm entirely guessing since I'm not familiar with it. In that case, I suggest asking them for help.
