Removing the p2pstate.bin did the trick, though the daemon starting sync'ing again from block 0 at that point, so it looks like it somehow ignored the up-to-date blockchain that I already had. I'm letting it run to see that it syncs again up to the current block and hopefully find that I have no further issues from there  Smiley

That's strange, what version of the daemon where you using previous to the update?

FYI. I'm using your new binaries OK in Win 7 x64. Blockchain sync picked up where it left off. I was using "aeon-phoenix-rc1-win-x86_64.zip" (shows as 0.8.8.2() in the logs). Not sure where I pulled that binary from... maybe was yours too.

same behavior here with cryptrol's build, win7 64, and blockchain bootstrap:
Code:
2015-Jul-22 22:13:49.122523 Initializing core...
2015-Jul-22 22:13:49.122523 Loading blockchain...
2015-Jul-22 22:13:49.216123 ERROR C:\Users\u\Documents\GitHub\aeon\src\common/boost_serialization_helper.h:108 Exception at [unserialize_obj_from_file], what=unsupported version
2015-Jul-22 22:13:49.231723 Can't load blockchain storage from file, generating genesis block.
then sync is working correctly but from genesis block.

i'm testing my own build and under the same conditions, blockchain bootstrap is loading as expected

i don't use special parameters (i follow the readme). my only explanation is boost version, i use 1.58 and i guess cryptol is using 1.57

(i plan to share my binaries but they're in testing stage yet)

Looks to me like that problem is caused by boost serialization failing to read one of the old files, possibly because a different version of boost was used, file copied across platforms, files corrupted, etc.

My logs show:
2015-Jul-04 16:25:17.799529 aeon v0.8.8.2()

I'm thinking that I might have been running the test version prior to this latest Phoenix release... In any case, a fresh download of the OP Win-x64 bootstrap is ignored by the latest binaries, and again, sync'ing starts from block 0. Me is clueless.  Embarrassed
I was also using the latest test version without an issue.
I have recompiled the binaries from a clean git clone again, just in case, they are in the same link.
Does anybody else have tried to bootstrap from the OP blockchain with my binaries ?

Cryptrol, Moneromooo, thank you both for the feedback.

Edit: decided to have a go at the blockchain bootstrap, and fwiw, as soon as I start the daemon, it complains that it can't access the blockchain file and starts sync'ing from block 0. The error message was:
2015-Jul-22 17:40:29.033663 Loading blockchain...
2015-Jul-22 17:40:29.034665 Can't load blockchain storage from file, generating genesis block.
2015-Jul-22 17:40:29.073606 Blockchain initialized. last block: 0, d1113.h11.m40.s29 time ago, current difficulty: 1


I then checked that allowing a slow resync does work as expected, in the sense that I can save the blockchain state, and it does get loaded on subsequent daemon starts (so that I am not starting from block 0 again, every single time I start the daemon). I'll just let it sync now and see how that works out.

smooth -

i forget where u mentioned it, perhaps IRC, but you mentioned your curiosity about a decentralized payment network that was totally voluntary - i.e., no block rewards, as it relates to centralization of mining power etc. as I've mentioned before, the decentralized nature of cryptocurrencies is what appeals to me, so my thoughts are on this component as well.

I've always been fascinated by the prospect of the protocol somehow limiting / throttling the hashpower of individual miners or something.

one could imagine a simple mechanism, wherein the previous n block rewards are checked and if the addresses match, then the reward is denied outright or distributed to another use in some fashion.

of course, a plausible exploit would be someone just spawning multiple mining instances with different addresses, and I'm assuming this could be easily done with software. Though if the parameters of the throttle are set in such a way, it might be possible that the required workaround would eat so much in transfer fees to render the exploit unattractive.

@Moneromooo : could you eventually post binaries for the updated cpuminer? With that (and working Phoenix bins) I think I'm all set for the forking party  Grin

Assuming you mean Windows binaries... No, I don't use Windows.
Otherwise, I'm not sure there's much point.

@cryptrol : I tested your binaries on my Win8-x64 system, and got the following output from aeond:

2015-Jul-22 15:11:45.976049 ERROR c:\users\u\documents\github\aeon\src\p2p\net_node.inl:108 Exception at [node_server::init_config], what=unsupported version

You could try :
- removing your p2pstate.bin (make a backup copy first).
- make sure the program is not blocked in your firewall.

This sequence happens right after I execute aeond (not using any parameters), and then it quickly exits. I double-checked that no other version of aeond (or any other cryptonote daemon) is running while I'm testing.
Any hints for troubleshooting? This same system runs the previous version without issues.

Shouldn't be a problem if a exchange wishes to list the coin now right, with the new code, an exchange on standby waiting to add it

The code is there so I can't prevent it, but I don't recommend it. There are always risks associated with a hard fork. If some exchange does want jump the gun a bit, I would at least suggest they freeze transactions for a while before during and after the hard fork. But again, what they do is up to them.

would be easier to have a exchange to add it to buy and store my coins. saves my ram from exploding. As long as its reputable one its all good

I am working on a promising pruning technique that will allow nodes with very low resources, although that won't be a short term solution for you.

Release Phoenix

Nice job smooth, thank you.

Win 64 binaries for the AEON phoenix 0.9 release

I built those binaries myself and tested them briefly.

As always, use at your own risk.

I'm fairly sure I used your binaries previously without issue, so I'll do the same again.

Thank you

I'm sure it's not the 1st time a hard fork has been placed on a coin so it should be handled accordingly.


Leave it to them to decide the Oct thread pretty active so should do well on exchange

Is this coin on a exchange? i cant find it? please advice?

Only OTC thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/aeon-otc-thread-escrow-bidask-0015000290-xmr-latest-00180-xmr-1068691

We will push the exchange listings after the hard fork. There have already been some discussions.
