Minergate corrected it automatically, but the wallet caught it.

It doesn't but there is a problem with the forum software (all cryptonote addresses get broken up like that). A work around is to quote the post first as if you were going to reply to it, then copy the address from the quoted text instead of the original.

Thank you for the donation.

I can't mine there because I don't have a wallet  Tongue
In fact I have a wallet, but the original one v1.10 which don't synchronizes anymore.
Windows binaries?
Or at least a node, to see if the old wallet works.
I mined some at minergate and they stay there.
Sent 111 AEON at the donation address.

There are instructions for building Windows binaries in the OP

The old one might work if you give it a seed node on the command line (--add-seed-node). I'll PM you.

Thanks for the nodes. The old wallet is working  Cheesy

Yes I noticed. We can definitely look at integrating that. I would put it at roughly 2.1 on the roadmap (shortly after the upcoming core changes, but before the major work needed for item #3).

EDIT: added to roadmap as item 2.1

To the people having trouble building for windows :
Please take the time to post the detailed error log, otherwise there is no way anyone could help you, if it's big use pastebin so to not bloat this thread.
Also mention the Windows version and tools (VC++, Cmake, architecture, ...) you are using.
Building boost is the trickiest part, so make sure to strictly follow to the steps on the OP.

Hi smooth

The instructions don't work if followed from scratch on a newly installed OS. I'm sure they are correct, but maybe the author has something else already configured which isn't in those instructions. See my previous posts.

I'd like to build on Windows, so any help would be appreciated.

Cheers
Bosco


same here i am getting quite of alot of errors ive been resolving them one by one but something ain't right. asking a mate to take a look. will update

@ BoscoMurray

cryptrol created the instructions and he reads this thread so maybe you want to post some more information about the errors you are getting so when he comes back he can possibly figure out how to fix the instructions. Thanks!

There will be a hard fork for both the PoW and block time, but it will be scheduled for a future date (block number) after release so there will be plenty of time to upgrade. The miners will require modification but it is small. The internal solo miner will work. As for the others...is there even still a pool for this coin? If so I'll try to get the other miners working too, otherwise I won't worry about it for now.

I understand, regarding the pools, AFAIK the only one left working is minergate, although it is so easy to build a private pool with the open source tools that exist ATM (that's how I am solo mining).

Okay I'll work on the pool miners then. Should not be hard. Unless someone wants to take a shot at it. I'll be putting up the new PoW code on a branch soon (the change is trivial: cut both the scratchpad size and number of iterations in half)

The open source pool code might need the same tweak too, for correct share validation.

Update on roadmap items 1,2

The mobile-friendly PoW has been implemented and tested. It works fine and has good performance on both high performance and low performance CPUs.

I'm still working out the best way to handle the transition to 4 minute blocks. I want to avoid having it take a long period for the block time to adjust properly, although I may, after further testing of how the existing algorithm handles it, decide not to worry about it.

Either way, I expect to release on schedule by May 6.

The donation wallet has received 98.474708501125, none of which has been spent.

First of all, thank you for your work.

Will the mining software work as usual with the new scratchpad size ?
Also, does it require a hard fork ? I guess yes since it changes the PoW. Just want to know it so I can get my daemons up to date when the time arrives.

Also, I wanted to send some AEON your way but didn't found the address on the OP, I know you posted it earlier but don't want to go through the posts Tongue

Help please!

 > cmake -G "Visual Studio 12 Win64" -DBOOST_ROOT=c:\boost_1_57_0 -DBOOST_LIBRARY_DIR=c:\boost_1_57_0\stage\lib ..

Put cmake inside your PATH environment variable, fix your typo and add double quotes to your boost paths (git shell is picky with this) :

Code:
cmake -G "Visual Studio 12 Win64" -DBOOST_ROOT="c:\boost_1_57_0" -DBOOST_LIBRARYDIR="c:\boost_1_57_0\stage\lib" ..

Thanks cryptrol. This certainly helped as I get a little further, but after entering that line it takes me to a prompt:
>>

I try the rest of the how-to and it doesn't seem to do anything. Here's what I get:

C:\aeon> cd aeon\build
C:\aeon\aeon\build [master]> cmake -G "Visual Studio 12 Win64" -DBOOST_ROOT="c:\boost_1_57_0" -DBOOST_LIBRARYDIR="c:\boost_1_57_0\stage\lib" ..
>> cd ..
>> MSBuild Project.sln /p:Configuration=release
>>

There are no exe files in the C:\aeon\...... directories at all. Any advice please? Cheers

These are the commands that I use ...

Try deleting the CMakeCache.txt, from the aeon source directory in a gitshell do :

Code:
del CMakeCache.txt
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G "Visual Studio 12 Win64" -DBOOST_ROOT="c:\boost_1_57_0" -DBOOST_LIBRARYDIR="c:\boost_1_57_0\stage\lib" ..
MSBuild.exe ..\Project.sln /p:Configuration=Release
