I use xmrig on apltro pc and it works perfectly to mine monero.
so if it were possible to mine aeon with xmrig 5.9 would you recommend the best configuration and pool
I haven't mined AEON for ages, but:
1. A list of pools can be found at https://miningpoolstats.stream/aeon ; make sure you look only at the ones with recent activity.
2. Each pool has somewhere written how to configure the miner; some do it better than others. One hopefully good is at https://aeon.miner.rocks/#getting_started
3. I've read on AEON discord ( https://discord.gg/xWZ2z78 ) that AEON is ASIC-mined (too) now. It may worth checking this if you mine with something much weaker.
so it is not recommended? what's easily minable currently? with cpu
Aeon is FPGA/ASIC, no point bringing a CPU peashooter to a gunfight. Try XMR on randomX for a start...
