I agree with the points made by stoffu.

We should have additional people (at least one) with access to the github repos (the web site is also a repo, which is why I phrased it that way).

Further, I would also suggest that I should step down as maintainer and hand over administration of the project assets to someone else. I clearly don't have the time to continue usefully in this role. The community should reach consensus on who this should be.

Thats a typo. The actual account was always u/smooth_xmr

I'm still around, just haven't had time to pay attention to aeon. No, I didn't run off with the fund (if someone wants to verify on the chain, the enormous output that I made for proof-of-reserves a while back has likely never been used at all since there are none other of that size that would have used it as a decoy).

What are the most urgent things that need to be done? I'll try to free up some time if needed.

Probably nothing, I think I forgot they were there. I will take another look.

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.

OK, I'll take care of that.

A week apart = Bones is right

Did a retweet of the aeoncommunity one

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.

This replaces the previous update 2 tagged release, addressing some build issues

Chronos update 2

That was my suspicion. Thank you for the explanation.

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");

Don't keep your coins on an exchange. Same story as 8 years ago. Same story 8 years from now. Just don't.

I'm trying to remember when it wasn't.

I've got nothing.

This is good input. We should extend bounties to integration on DeFi bridges and swap platforms.

We can make this a generalized push for robust liquidity, rather than focusing on legacy centralized exchanges.

@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?

I asked them if they would reconsider, but based on a past experience my guess would be that they won't. They seem to have been removing a lot of low volume coins as well as privacy-enhanced coins. I don't have any information as to why they made this decision and I doubt they would provide any beyond the referenced policy.

I will report back if I have any other info.
