Add Algo Cryptonight-Light about xmr-stak-cpu HOT 5 CLOSED

It won't be very high on my priority list. I decided to dabble again in crypto-money specifically because i think XMR has potential, not to write for all altcoins.

That said - it won't be a very hard fork - from what I understand you just need to change the MEMORY define to 1048576 and main loop iterations to 0x40000

Okay, I do not understand programming to make the fork so I'll wait in case you implement. Thanks

Hi again, I'm trying to implement cryptonight light, can you help me in what files should I need modify?
Thanks

You need a basic programming knowledge to do that. While finding out what makes other people's code tick is an excellent way to learn, getting easy answers isn't.

If I were in your shoes, I would ask myself, Do you just want a miner? I that case I'm sure there are maintained miners for Aeon. Or do you want to learn how to program? In that case get yourself a good programming book (at your level I would recommend Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++ by Bjarne Stroustrup) and read it.

And obviously have fun :)

I was looking for a mine Aeon with dual cache per thread, I have many xeons with little core and a lot of cache, so I can not use all the cpu power. With dual cache per thread Aeon would be much more profitable than xmr for me. I'll try to learn more about programming. Thnks!
