In a PM between me and dnaleor he suggest Litenote as a new name for AEON, I think it sounds much better and considering the "lite" new POW it could be a strategic marketing move.
It's indeed something I thought about, let me explain it a bit more: AEON wants to have a more "lightweight" approach with pruning, lighter mining algorithm, running nodes on smartphones, etc. Furthermore, I see AEON as "the little brother" of XMR. It's possible that AEON can become an important factor in testing new features that can eventually be transferred to XMR. And there is even more, smooth is a dev of both coins. If we use the 'lite' brand, we ride on the notion of litecoin being "the silvers to bitcoin's gold". If we adopt this new name, the coin would be immediately associated with being "the silver to cryptonote/XMR gold" This positions the coin in the right place imho. So the 'lite' brand has 2 meanings: 'lightweight' and 'silver'. There is a new dev team now, so rebranding AEON to Litenote (XLN) might be a good idea. It's just an idea, don't know what others think about it. : What a fantastic name. Bravo goodsir!  You see? The shirt matches the pants. What do I mean by the shirt matches the pants? Look at Aeon, it is a name for a long slow epoch. Not a great name for a light quick monetary system.. Sounds more like a good name for retirement invesment company. You got to have the name match the brand. Aeon is a meaningless name and accomplishes nothing in terms of marketing. Litenote captures the spirit and mission of the project, thats why the shirt matches the pants. |

Aeon is not a bad coin so why worry? It is natural evolution for any organization. Hell even the US of A had to change the flag a few times before it stuck. You don't always get everything right the first time. Good branding can help attract more people to using aeon and building the aeon economy. Stoffu and smooth are programmers and of course they think aeon is a good coin because they helped developed it but not everyone can understand why Aeon is technically a good coin. If they see good branding they might say "oh, what is this coin, I have never heard of Aeon?" Then they can learn more about the history and culture of aeon and maybe they will stay around for awhile. Building a decentralized peer-to-peer network is not just about writing good code. The stubbornness of this community towards branding is weird and cult-like. You can release new versions of the code every year, but never improve the branding? In this time nothing seems more important than attracting more users to the network. The code is practically in a future proof state. Why not lend a little bit of time to improving some of the other ignored aspects of the peer-to-peer network? Anyways, just some thoughts on the matter, thanks for reading. |

Speaking of mining, is anybody looking at porting the Monero p2pool to aeon? It would likely work even better here given the verification-friendly PoW, lower barrier to running a node, etc.
Haven't heard of anyone mining these days on Aeon but the hashrate keeps going up. Was thinking of getting a fpga but they are all sold out. |

By the way ever look into integrating with coinomi? Way more coins than cake wallet and includes monero. I like this one personally they have some OG coins they will probably be interested in adding AEON. If cake wallet is not interested lets try integrating with coinomi. More assets and iOS addition. https://www.coinomi.com/en/asset/monero/ |

Github banned my account  did you use VPN or have more than one account? Yes and Yes  Damn good for nothing Github!!! I don't want the world to know I am working on Aeon. How to protect my identity? Ah well, leave it to stoffu they seem to be fit for the job but would be good to rebase still in my opinion the QT dependencies are outdated. I have the repo still on my computer. It is 100% |

Well it appears we have fallen behind from upstream. There are 2190 commits behind monero-project:master. Then there are some outdated dependencies. I feel it would be easier to start from scratch then to go and try to patch everything together. I have a working test application built on ubuntu with a few changes. It is working fine with some of the PRs I tagged on aeonix.
To answer your question, no, I don't expect other extra commits. I would like to release it when there are the commits merged because it uses the aeonix repository within its own repository as a submodule. I will need some builders on mac, the github actions are failing but built successfully on windows and ubuntu.

Hello I am working on updating the GUI to the latest monero version. There are a few pull requests that need review. Could we release a new version 0.14.2.0 with these updates along with GUI updated?  |
