Nice smooth job smooth, the RAM reduction is real, just imagine now AEON running with the LMDB databse... it will be perfect for smartphones and small devices indeed.

No pruning is not in git yet, and the first version with pruning (very soon) will be a designated test version, not a release.

The current official release does have some memory and storage optimizations I came across when working on pruning that are in there.


Nice!

Thank you for supporting the network!

I am doing testing on pruning right now.

Status update and short term plans

Obviously we have the hard fork coming up in about one week with the mainstream CPU and mobile-friendly PoW. (Done)

There have been discussions with exchanges, so I do expect the coin to be listed for trading soon (either before or after the hard fork, I'm not sure). (Done. Aeon is now on bittrex)

Here is the short term roadmap for the next two versions (there may be incremental bug fix releases in between, along with additional minor features included with each release or as intermediate feature releases):

Version 0.10.0.0

Local blockchain pruning (light full nodes). On systems with limited resources (RAM and/or HD) you will be able to run a full node without storing an archive of the entire chain. This comes with no reduction in security -- you will still be validating the entire chain, but not storing it. Your node will be able to forward blocks and transactions, support wallets with full node security, and even mine. The only thing it won't be able to do is serve old blocks over the p2p to brand new users (it will still serve recent blocks to other users who are syncing after a limited amount of time offline). Brand new users or those offline for an extended period can use a bootstrap, or they can still sync over the p2p by connecting to archive nodes (full nodes that are not running in light mode).

Version 1.0.0.0

Cryptonote GUI integration (some preliminary work on this is already done).

Following version 1.0.0.0, we will move to the more on to the longer-term roadmap items, including the SPV client model, and finally the multisig, simple contract scripts, payment channels, and global blockchain pruning.

Although not presently on the roadmap, I would like to at some point see actual mobile wallets, which could work either as SPV clients or as light full nodes. For that to realistically happen, we'll have to see how things go with funding for the project and/or expansion of the core team.

Thank you for the clarification. My error I guess (it exhibits that I don't really pay attention about launches, I am the nerd who is too busy on other preoccupations). Again I am only trying to find a way to innovate and fund innovation (oh and also get wealthy again but not an idiotic scam or try to own 10% of the entire world's money supply or some stupid shit that destroy's the work I did) and so if people are going to be too dogmatic about "fair launch" without seeing the bigger picture, then I view them as obstructionists. I am not saying that is you, but I do hope I can influence you to be more about creating and less about analytical deconstructing (even though both are obviously necessary talents).

I hope you don't waste more of your time here. Or on Dash. But of course that is your personal decision and I shouldn't dictate to you. It Dash really that important? $5m mcap and the global economy is $40 trillion.

I think you are probably a talented programmer and can make a difference.

New test release

This release reduces memory usage and blockchain file size by optimizing storage of the outputs table. While the reduction is somewhat modest, it will be more significant with pruning (the pruned data does not include the outputs table).

Please test, especially if you have a smaller memory configuration. Very small memory configurations won't work with this, but if you have something that has been barely able to run the deemon previously, this should improve your performance quite a bit.

The next step after this is pruning, so if any issues arise here I would like to address them before releasing the pruning support.

Instructions:

1. Copy your blockchain.bin file to another location as a backup. This version will convert the blockchain file to a new format and you won't able to downgrade to the released code with the upgraded blockchain file.

2.
3. Start node. You should get a message at startup about the blockchain being converted. You can ignore any debug messages about empty outputs and such.

4. Exit node to save the converted blockchain

5. Start node again with new blockchain

Report any issues (or even if no issues)

Thanks for testing!

At the risk of stating the obvious, upside in this coin is a long term prospect. If you aren't comfortable with that, it's probably not the play for you.

Of course, I respect your right to trade or not trade as you see fit.

Either way, I'm not going anywhere, trolls or no trolls. Development will continue.

Some progress on the memory front due shortly.

What do you have against free thread bumps and higher activity stats?

I said it was shit, I knew the code was stolen from Bitcoin, I had a hunch when I read it from github but all you'll receive for alerting people is hate PMs and mods deleting your posts.

Doesn't matter how hard I and the rest of the community members tried to answer his questions and trolling he refused to stop. He picked  currency/project that is way above his coding skills.

I had no clue he has an own project until a few hours ago and I must say, it is pathetic that someone has to attack others before even cleaning out his own closet. Sorry, but I can't feel bad for pointing out the obvious on AEON and I'm sorry that you are invested in a project where he is the lead dev. Look at his time management, 90% trolling, 5% coding (MAXIMUM) and 5% off topic.



Implying you can call the coins sourced from smooth's project cheap instead of worthless.

Nice preview of your own wallet, which you coded.

Let's get this coin on Poloniex and we can moon after.

I'm kinda sad because while attacking the competitors threads you always get half page answers from community members.

When asking about the AEON gui wallet, you simply respond: "maybe we will have one"

Kinda sad, thought you have better skills as a developer and could code a gui, what exactly are you developing for XMR?

Looks good going here, keeping my eye on here on future developments. Keep up the good work Aeon Team 

For everyone with a poloniex account:

AEON has been listed on poloniex before and according to smooth their wallet has been updated. So I would like to ask everyone that has an account to send them a message that you would be interested in trading AEON (again). You can just open a support ticket and I think the mods will pass it along. Personally I hope it gets reenabled, more exchanges means more awareness.
