I am doing testing on pruning right now.

Super quiet here... 

Minergate pool is now back on track, you must use https://github.com/moneromooo/cpuminer-multi for all pools as AEON uses cryptonight-lite.

I think this should be on the main thread.

Yes, I had to, as the balance on what I assume is your address was too large to get in a single tx when done by the pool itself, so I transferred manually in smaller chunks over a couple hours as coins unlocked. Hopefully without mistake

You made manual payouts?

Front-end was down but core was always running. No shares were lost. Payments are OK.
Cheers.

(Internet onnections are quite impossible here )

Thanks smooth & nikos64 for your feedback also.

I'm unable to compile at this time, but if no1 reputable has come up with binaries in the meantime, I'll see if I can get setup to compile as well sometime next week. Cheers!

RT if you think @ShapeShift_io should add support for boolberry and aeon. Lots of #xmr community overlap so usage should be high #bbr #aeon

I think I located the problem with the Windows build. If someone wants to create a new binary from github HEAD, we can see if it fixed it.

Thank you! I'm pretty sure I know what happened. I'll get it fixed.

Windows 7 x64
8 core AMD FX at 4GHz
I get 650 h/s mining with the daemon with 8 cores, and 850 h/s with wolf's miner.
In the standard cryptonite algo I get 200 h/s with 6 cores and 350 h/s with claymore's miner.
So I think the situation is much better with cryptonite lite, at least in my case.

Aha! I found something. The above 650 h/s are with the 0.9.0.0 edition.
With the 0.9.1.1 the daemon hashes drooped to 270.

@ myagui

Do you happen to know if the performance changed in any of the recent versions?

I did some clean up and 32-bit portability of the hashing code and I may have accidentally broken some of the optimizations on Windows.

Forgot that very important detail 
Windows 8 x64

I double-checked my hashrate if solo'ing with the daemon, on the same 6 threads, I'm at ~255 h/s (vs ~680 on the fastest standalone miner, and roughly ~600 on the slower one). I'm using the latest Win binaries that were posted (0.9.1.1 iirc).

I 100% agree with you and find the results you report surprising. What OS?

CryptoNight algo might mine a little on http://aeonpool.mooo.com/#getting_started with my CPU 

Quite a reach you have with 63,000 followers 

I'm not surprised though - you have some really nice content on the site.

Always happens when I don't look for a bit...
Should fix itself again as consolidated coins unlock.

As for a guide for pools, there's a comprehensive guide in the pool software's documentation itself.

@smooth, about solo mining on the daemon:

I seem to have about half the performance when mining on the daemon, in contrast to using one of the standalone miners available. I can run a standalone miner pointed at Moo's pool, and keep the daemon open anyhow to have keep a node up as well, but I know this is less valuable in terms of network security and decentralization.

Would it be possible to get the daemon mining code closer to the performance of the standalone ones?

I'm using Wolf's cpuminer at the moment, which nets me about 680 h/s with 6 threads on an i7 4770. I don't mind some hashrate drop due to solo mining, but it would be most gratifying if the hashrate was at least within 10% or so proximity of the standalone miners, not a whopping 50% less.

I've also used the one by tpruvot (git repo), which is slightly slower on my CPU, but might be more portable code so to speak, as it was originally forked from Lucas Jones's version.

If all else fails, I could try to run a private/local pool just for my solo mining, though I'm not sure I'm ready to take on the challenge. Then I could also point a GPU or two at it now and then. I'll be happy to take any input or suggestions to how easy/complicated this would be for someone that is knowledgeable on Windows but a Linux newbie.

Thanks for the recent updates, keep'em coming 

Can you write small guide how to start and configurate pool software for aeon?
Thank you.

payouts stuck again
