-### XMR-Stak-CPU - Monero mining software
+### AEON-Stak-CPU - AEON mining software (fork of fireice-uk/xmr-stak-cpu) with AEON and customizable low power mode
 
-XMR-Stak is a universal Stratum pool miner. This is the CPU-mining version; there is also an [AMD GPU version](https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak-amd) and an [NVIDA GPU version](https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak-nvidia)
+**This fork changes it for AEON and makes `low_power` mode customizable. This mode will solve X hashes per thread. Change the values in `crypto/cryptonight_aesni.h` and `minethd.cpp`. Default is 2.**
+
+It may become a PR and get merged back to upstream if the original one wants AEON support.
+
+**This fork won't GPG sign Windows binaries as they are built automatically by AppVeyor CI and I have no Windows Machine**

 #### CPU mining performance 
 
-Performance is nearly identical to the closed source paid miners. Here are some numbers:
-
-* **I7-2600K** - 266 H/s
-* **I7-6700** - 276 H/s (with a separate GPU miner)
-* **Dual X5650** - 466 H/s (depends on NUMA)
-* **Dual E5640** - 365 H/s (same as above)
+* **E5-2630 v1** - 1040 H/s
 
 #### Default dev donation
 By default the miner will donate 1% of the hashpower (1 minute in 100 minutes) to my pool. If you want to change that, edit **donate-level.h** before you build the binaries.
