It's been as high as $3.66 (I think): https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/aeon/
That shows the short-term potential in terms of price. It also shows how volatile small cap crypto assets can be.
I'm just numb to the price now, though. Indifference washes over me when I look at Blockfolio.
The bot asks for reasons to list the coin, these are my reasons:
A snippet from Wikipedia for anyone who is unaware of the book.
> The Mythical Man-Month: Essays on Software Engineering is a book on software engineering and project management by Fred Brooks, whose central theme is that "adding manpower to a late software project makes it later"
Building it yourself is not hard at all on OS X... literally: 1) Open terminal 2) Install brew (this is all done by the brew installer, https://brew.sh) 3) Install aeon: Add the repository: brew tap sammy007/cryptonight Build wallet: brew install --HEAD aeon
I just opened a wallet file I had forgotten about which I used when I referred people to faucets and 'free BTC' sites back in 2014. A bunch of microtransactions and 0.0632 BTC!
If you open your wallet file in Electrum you don't have to sync the chain. It will ask you to create new wallet or use an existing one. It my favorite BTC wallet.
You can do it on LocalMonero.
The "useful for old hardware" part has proven itself to me.
I built a system known as HelioMine that lets users mine crypto for a nonprofit free web hosting company as an alternative to PayPal donations. They have lots of international users, and many are in fact using ancient PCs. I see laptops with old GeForce cards, 10 year old Core2s, you name it...and they're productive. That company still isn't in the black, but those old PCs definitely help bring it closer.
Aeon (and more recently TRTL after Aeon had ASIC issues) is the whole reason the program worked. :D Aeon's lightweight CN-Lite algorithm made it possible.
I had it mining other regular CN things like ETN, but there were just too many PCs that couldn't produce usable hash rates.
EDIT: I got a PM asking about this app. It's this one: https://www.heliohost.org/heliomine/ (Which itself is a branded version of a system I built called RGS, originally intended as installer bundleware but now mostly used by business clients of mine to monetize their PCs after hours).
wow have you seen the amount of crap apps that has not been rejected? I didn't realize they had this whole reject-procedure.
1) https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/aeon/ at the moment $6,461,109 or 2,995 BTC.
2) a monero-fork, so the emphasis lies on anonimity. I think what AEON aims for is being a mobile-friendly currency. Its not quite there but I believe thats the future
3) Nothing much yet. At the moment it's used for trading, holding and an anecdotinal story about trading them for beers.
5) It was made public in XXX and abandoned by the developer, taken over by the current developer Smooth and (I believe) was being used as a test modem for monero. It stands on it's own, and the current roadmap is a code rebase, so we could implement LMDB and wouldn't need to keep the full RAM occupied for updating the blockchain for performing transactions or running a node. After this the way is open for the currency to be adopted a lot easier.

doesn't seem to return results trying to buy XMR with AEON:
Post the output of 'clinfo', please.
Download it here Clinfo.zip, follow the steps:
Make a directory called C:\clinfo and unpack the contents of clinfo.zip in this directory.
Now open Notepad in the same folder and type:
@echo off c: cd\clinfo clinfo > clinfo.log
After:
Click File-> Save As ...
Navigate to C:\clinfo Set "Save As type" to All files Encoding: ANSI File name: clinfo.bat and then click Save.
Next run clinfo.bat from Windows Explorer ((double-) click it). It will save all the information it can find into clinfo.log in c: \ clinfo You can open this log file with Notepad.
The only advantage is it abstracts the miner, think of it as VMware without the overhead. Docker/Kubetes is very lightweight. But I can quickly spin up multiple versions and then deployment without having to worry about the underlying o/s.
I have been experimenting with an Odroid XU4 running an ARM processor. I just got it a couple of days ago and I haven't had time to fiddle with it much, but I got a miner up and running but was having network issues which should be easy to fix. Another CPU only mining coin called Verium. These guys have really made some progress with ARM processors https://steemit.com/verium/@birty/cpu-mining-is-back-a-complete-how-to-guide-and-profit-analysis-for-verium-mining-on-a-farm-of-single-board-computers-part-1
You can make money if the electricity costs are sky high because each of these computers uses about 5w
There are a whole bunch of guys cpu mining Verium with the Odroid XU4 ARM machines which are much faster than a Pi. They only draw 5 watts so if you live in an area of expensive electricity this might work. I got one the other day and I'm trying to set it up to mine Monero but could turn it to Aeon. If it works, I might order 10 of them! https://steemit.com/verium/@birty/cpu-mining-is-back-a-complete-how-to-guide-and-profit-analysis-for-verium-mining-on-a-farm-of-single-board-computers-part-1
According to coinranking.com Aeon is down about 4% in the last 24 hours, but overall UP 13% in the last 7 days.
For comparison, Bitcoin is down about 1.5% in 24 hours, and up 15% in 7 days.
Not exactly the picture of "Aeon tanking". :)

It looks like it's all done? If so, I'm just trying to wrap my head around what would be required for the entire network to be secure running exclusively on mobile devices. A theoretical question I know, but I am curious as it could be the future.
