I want to solo-mine Aeon, so I downloaded AEON-0.9.12.0-WIN64.ZIP from https://github.com/aeonix/aeon/releases, registered my wallet using the simplewallet, and synced the blockchain in the Aeon daemon.

Then I started mining in simplewallet using start_mining but I'm waiting for two days and if I check my balance it's still 0. I'm using 99% of CPU and 6GB of RAM... How do I know I'm mining? What is the problem?

Details:

If I run show_hr, it shows me this: "hashrate: 312.6667"

When I start aeond, it shows me this:

Starting... aeon v0.9.12.0() Module folder: C:\Users\memox\AEON\aeond.exe Initializing p2p server... Binding on 0.0.0.0:11180 Net service binded on 0.0.0.0:11180 Attempting to add IGD port mapping. No IGD was found. P2p server initialized OK Initializing cryptonote protocol... Cryptonote protocol initialized OK Initializing core rpc server... Binding on 127.0.0.1:11181 Core rpc server initialized OK on port: 11181 Initializing core... Loading blockchain...

From the output you gave, you seem to be mining just fine.

Your wallet balance will increase when you find a block. Blocks are found randomly, but a probability which depends on the network hash rate and your own. Roughly, you can expect to find 100 * 312 / 3000000 = 0.01% [1] of Aeon blocks. As there are 360 Aeon blocks in a day, you will find a block every 26 days on average. Note the on average, as variance can be large for small hash rate compared to the network hash rate.

Once you found a block (the daemon will point it out), you will have to refresh your wallet so it sees the incoming aeon.

[1] 312 H/s is your hash rate, and 3000000 H/s is the current network hash rate. At the time of your post, the network hash rate was closer to 1000000 H/s (see http://chainradar.com/aeon/chart), which would make the answer closer to a block every 9 days on average.
