About: AEON was launched on 6.6.2014 at 6:00 PM UTC, with no premine or instamine. AEON is for people who want to pay and live freely, who want to be part of the cryptocurrency revolution and want to try something new. It is based on the CryptoNote protocol and uses the CryptoNight-Lite[1] algorithm, and features: - True anonymity & data protection - Untraceable payments uses ring signature - Unlinkable transactions with random data by the sender - Blockchain analysis resistant - CPU/GPU mining, ASIC-resistant Roadmap April 26, 2015 - new roadmap announced Mobile-friendly PoW and block time (released) GUI wallet (in progress) 32-bit and ARM support (released, but requires low memory footprint below) Low memory footprint (in progress) Signature trimming Blockchain pruning (test release available) Multisig and payment channels (instant payments) Development Team: Lead developer: smooth Release engineering, Q/A, support: Arux Other roles: open (PM smooth) Original developer (as Monero fork): anonymous Bounties: None currently open. You can send donations for the AEON bounty fund and development.

Compile from source code. 2. Launch aeond and wait until it is synchronized. 3. Launch simplewallet --generate-new-wallet=wallet_name.bin --pass=12345 4. Start mining from the wallet using start_mining command Windows Compilation: (provided by community member cryptrol) Compile steps for Windows x64 using MSVC First of all let's get all the tools we need : - Download and install Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2013 (It's a free version of visual studio with some license limitations). You can uncheck the web development tools and SQL tools since you won't use them for building AEON. This will take time to download and install and you will have to reboot upon completion. - Download and install cMake for windows from : http://www.cmake.org/download/ (Win32 install) - Download Boost 1.57 from http://www.boost.org/users/download/ , use the zip or 7zip archive and extract. You can use c:\boost_1_57_0 since this is what I am using for this steps. - Download and install Github for Windows from https://windows.github.com/ (This also includes a Git shell that we will use later). Now the nasty part compile & build time ! - Build Boost : Open a command line and type : Code: > cd c:\boost_1_57_0 - Open the Git Shell (or Git bash) depending what you downloaded previously and do.> bootstrap.bat > b2 --toolset=msvc variant=release link=static threading=multi runtime-link=static address-model=64 Code: > git clone https://github.com/aeonix/aeon.git You should now find the exe files under build/src/release .> cd aeon > 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 Project.sln /p:Configuration=release /m [1] Cryptonight-Lite: Louis dor whitepaper; crypto_zoidberg, doe1138; December 8, 2014. Previously: Cryptonight [2] Proposed: minimum maintenance reward of <1%/year for mining incentive starting after approximately 8 years. [3] Previously: (M−A) / (220) / (1012) each 60 seconds block where M = 264 −1 and A = supply mined to date (coins generated per day unchanged). |
