Aeon = "Moneros little brother" - mining with normal hardware?!

in mining •  7 years ago 

I came across a coin that I didn't know before. Because I am interested in mining again.
The coin is called Aeon (AEON) based on PoW with a reactively low difficulty.
But the real clue about "mining" this coin is that you can even mine without any dedicated GPU, but only with your laptop or even phone.

(This has nothing to do with sophisticated mining here, just for fun and even for non tech people possible.)

So I just started a small test on Monday this week.
I am only travelling with my MacBook Pro therefore BTC, ETH, XMR mining is totally hopeless with Hashrate of 0^^

Anyways Minergate (Software) allows you to mine these coins with any hardware (CPU or GPU)
While they are probably taking their share of our CPU/ GPU Power to mine for themselves it is way that I thought is worth checking out...

Back to Aeon. On their website they call it the "little brother of Monero" (not sure if that is maybe a bit exaggerated^^)
I get a Hash of around 360H/s if all other applications are shut down. Source: http://www.aeon.cash/

Anyways the coin has been going to the moon this week (+180% in the last 7 days):

If you want to try mining AEON (or another coin like BTC, ETH, XMR, ...) you can use my affiliate link:

**let me know which Hashrates you are getting with your hardware... **

Make a separate post about it explaining the profitability and your experience with it. What do you think about its future?

thx @rocksg testing with a real GPU rig will start next week. Price already went to the moon on bittrex and hitbtc. future = ? but could really be moneros little brother. i like the privacey concept.

so a silly question i would like to ask as i am a dumb is it really profitable !!

no worries, this is new territory for everyone.
this is not really profitable with a macbook or phone, if you have a good gaming pc in your house this might be profitable for coins with a "low" difficulty, like Aeon ;)
The price development of the coins is of course to be considered. If you mined ETH already last year for 10$ thid was not really profitable in 2016 maybe even a negative business case, but now with a price of 300$ every single ETH miner from last year is sure happy and rich as hell ;)

I think so, too.

@blocklab,
I do mine via Minergate and tried XMR, BCN, XDN there! So, this is a big news for me too! Actually I didn't aware about it! Thanks for sharing!

Cheers~

no prob. what kind of hardware are you using? Hashrates for each coin would be really interesting... if you can share

@blocklab,
I do CPU mining with 12-20 PCs

how much hashpower does that give you for each coin?

do i have to pay in Crypto for the hashrates? cos the last time i used my credit card i never get my hash and never got refunded...

And pls advice, what Hashrate can i get for a Samsung Galaxy A3 1206 to mine Aeon?

install the software and see yourself , i think not much you get 30 or 40 h

you dont pay anything here.
you only share your computing power.

WOW!...am definitely using your link

Törööö !!! ;)

I've been using minergate and I get about 190-200 H/s

Now Ive set up aeon stak cpu 1.5.0 and get just under 800 H/s
I'm using an AMD FX-8320e
