Out of curiosity, is anyone concerned by Monero's continued decline is hash rate since beginning of 2022? It's tracking price (i.e. almost perfectly flat) over the past year which makes sense given the constant tail reward. Before that the price was coming down into the crypto winter and tail reward hadn't been reached yet. Likewise this thread has gone pretty quiet which is partially a function of the crypto scene moving out from bitcointalk and partially that it's not that interesting to speculate on a flat price.

To believe that highly technical consensus changes (even if they're not large) don't have an exploit, you'd have to have confidence in a LOT of public scrutiny IN PRACTICE. Just being open source is not enough. Remember the heartbleed bug that was introduced in 2012 to openssl but not widely recognized as a devastating exploit until 2014.
I don't know if Monero is making the right tradeoffs in terms of upgrades, the pace they are made, and the balance between effort into researching and implementing changes (interesting and high payoff!) and review (often boring and no payoff!). You have to consider that the old protocol or implementation may not be that great either, indeed it may even have deliberate exploits (I don't know of any, apart from all of the public limited ring size issues) and the situation would improve by replacing it.

Yes. P2pool will send you a transaction for every share you find. It will be small amounts of Monero but there it will be in your transactions.
It actually sends you a transaction for every block the pool mines while you have an active share. If you mine a share and the pool doesn't get a block, you don't get anything (but this should be unusual if the pool hash rate is high enough). If it mines two blocks, you get paid twice (or more) even for one share.

devs, tradeogre is fully functional, but please find another solution, DEX or swap structure;
@stoffu, do you know if the atomic swaps that exist on Monero are feasible for AEON? Perhaps we should also try to get some more centralized exchanges, though I agree time may be passing them by. But for now they are still useful. Maybe we could offer a bounty structure for community members to recruit exchanges? @smooth As far as I understood from reading the blog post by the COMIT team https://comit.network/blog/2020/10/06/monero-bitcoin/ explaining the inner workings of the software https://github.com/comit-network/xmr-btc-swap, the key to making the swap possible is the zero-knowledge proof scheme proposed by Sarang Noether that proves that a pair of public keys on Monero and Bitcoin share the same secret key. Since Aeon uses the same elliptic curve as Monero (curve25519), I believe the same scheme is applicable to Aeon as well (also to any other CryptoNote coins). That was my suspicion. Thank you for the explanation.

Where are i can find peers to synchronizing with network? I started aeond, but he can`t find peers WARN cn src/cryptonote_core/cryptonote_core.cpp:1738 There were 0 blocks in the last 90 minutes, there might be large hash rate changes, or we might be partitioned, cut off from the Aeon network or under attack. Or it could be just sheer bad luck. If you build from source you will get the updated seed list if not then add some of these using the command line full_addrs.insert("104.168.163.221:11180"); full_addrs.insert("74.91.23.186:11180"); full_addrs.insert("192.187.114.114:11180"); full_addrs.insert("188.166.75.158:11180"); full_addrs.insert("209.126.84.37:11180");
