Our friends over at Monero (moneromooo in particular) have figured out how to use Tor with Cryptonote coins using the torsocks wrapper, so you can enjoy using AEON with Tor-protected anonymity at the network level.



1. Make sure you are running a Tor demon. With Ubuntu Linux you can just apt-get install tor and you'll be all set



2. torsocks aeond --p2p-bind-ip 127.0.0.1 --hide-my-port



In the case of Monero there are some issues with DNS being blocked and required some code changes, but AEON does not use DNS, so we don't have to worry about that issue at all.



There is one message (harmless) that gets reported during IGD (UPnP) setup, but that can be ignored. I added a --no-igd option in github, so you can use that to get rid of the message if you build from the latest source, but it isn't really necessary.



Depending on the version of torsocks you have installed, you may get some messages about missing symbols. Those can also be ignored.



There is probably a way to do something similar on Windows, but I don't know it. Anyone?

Ive had mo issues with it after he fixed the timing out and stale share issues. I dont know if he now has a more improved miner now or not. Would love it if he does.



On another subject i have some Raspberry PI 2's lying around and would like to set them up running Aeon nodes. Is this possible? Mining on them possible yet or ever will be? Would be nice to use them for Aeon! I have my other two computers running aeon too want to get everything i can supporting one way or another. Any help would be great!
