With the Greg Maxwell report, plus the deletions by Vcash on other threads and the attitude of John-Connor...
Mind made up.

It clearly did. Some people care, some don't. Make up your own mind. Are there any independent witnesses of the non-anonymous type? Credible verification from reliable sources? Can anyone point me to a good link, legit review from CoinDesk etc. The many sites I perused just regurgitate the Vcash party line.

He/she/it will probably change tactics soon.
They don't like the light.

Was this inquiry ever settled?
Did Vcash (formerly Vanilla) use Bitcoin code, even in part, without indicating that they did so?
Was there ever an audit conducted by an disinterested, independent, public organization?
I mean the Vcash wallet seems to work well and is fast, but is that the only measure here?

I've been watching LBRY (LBC's) of late. They are a public blockchain, plus more, with an interesting twist.
They want to compete with Netflix, iTunes, YouTube and others, using an almost censorship free delivery method.
Not sure if this is STEEM-like or not. But STEEM is a public blockchain, right?
My point is, it would interesting if AEON could be used to fund a non-company model of LBRY.
A way to point the users to personal computers, without divulging locations and identifications, where we could store videos, blogs and other content, that we are willing to rent, share and sell.
A system that will, like Storj or LBRY, then shard content on a separate or child-blockchain systems, thereby reduce the bandwidth problems.
LBRY does not have this. They are corporate and ultimately, censored. I don't care what their website says. They won't make it much farther than YouTube or Netflix, after the lawsuits and agents take aim.
It sure would be nice to watch un-slanted news, private movies, read racy blogs and find new music -- all unspoiled by the advertisers and ratings organizations; not to mention the FCC.
But rather than embed this tech inside AEON, like DigitalNote does with it's messaging, perhaps we need a separate LBRY-like system, tied only to CryptoNote/CryptoNight-Lite.

@Rockie1234: I saw the pump and I was a bit suspicious. In terms of XDN getting onto any sort of marketplace, we will need a lot of time to overtake the anoncoins ahead of us in price such as vcash. Regarding Vcash. It has been a slow long haul for him/them. A lot of FUD over the last year or so. I got a bad taste from reading that Dev's answers to legitimate questions. John Connor, was it? Kinda silly. Maybe he was onto to something with that tiny wallet and ability to stay under the radar, but I lacked trust. The Poloniex transfers to/from Vcash were very fast, however. So I dumped all my Vcash and naturally, over the last year or so, it has doubled in value. I think, however -- and I'm probably wrong -- that the CryptoNote coins and their progeny will suffer some sort of "coming to Jesus" in the near future, if and when they start to take off. Monero has spiked. I'm sure they have a lot of great coders, but so does Uncle Sam and every other country on earth. The battle to even exist in this space will be interesting in the near future; IMO. I liked AEON -- still do -- but I wonder if it can preserver. But DigitalNote does have some serious upside, if the Dev and its supporters decide to throw some more fuel on the fire. IMO -- again. So maybe that "pumper" on Poloniex was reading the tea leaves, smoking some other kind of leaf or just making us all think... One thought though, is the upside, if the Darkweb adopts CryptoNote or Zcash or some other "private" coin. Alphabay still uses Bitcoin, from what I can see. Bad idea. They need to catch up. Imagine the revaluation of the first coin to take the "Private Web" by storm? Monero still does not have a good wallet. DigitalNote does. Has for a long time. I've had a few XDN's for a long time. (Admission.) But I hold what I feel has promise. And I dabble in others as well.

Saw a response in the Poloniex Trollbox today.
Somebody was apparently trying to pump this coin.
They shut him down quick.
Wrote that Alphabay was going to use this coin.
Got me thinking, since I liked this coin from way back.
CryptoNote, with a savings feature and messaging -- and a working easy to use wallet...hmmm.
Just please take the "Cryptsy" info off of the website.
Let's see if this goes anywhere anytime soon...

I tried to post to original topic (Monero Classic -- Scammer), but it was deleted... A reply of yours, quoted below, was deleted by the starter of a self-moderated topic. There are no rules of self-moderation, so this deletion cannot be appealed. Do not continue posting in this topic if the topic-starter has requested that you leave. You can create a new topic if you are unsatisfied with this one. If the topic-starter is scamming, post about it in Scam Accusations. Quote This is a fantastic idea! I'm re-advertising it https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1602284.msg16099426#msg16099426ere:

@bbc.reporter: Is that real? Don't you think it will be risky to install something like that when it is not even sure if Aeon will be adopted? Or are you just saying that? Because even bitcoin ATM are not widely used and to consider that bitcoin is they most widely cryptocoin. If AEON becomes popular in the CryptoNote - Nite series, I imagine that a Monero ATM would not be out of the question. And if so, AEON would be like the Litecoin to Monero. Traditionally, Bitcoin ATM's -- in good locations -- did a lot of business. I don't see why a Monero/Aeon ATM would not do a modicum of business. But you are right. I'm just "saying this." Naturally, we would need serious adoption to install one; but even this is not true, since these cryptocurreny ATM's can offer multiple coins now. This is just one idea. There are smartphone apps, devices and so on, that can be used for the same purpose. The point is to let everyone out there know that there are serious people supporting Aeon. I'm one of them.

I recently -- within the last six months or so -- read Digital Gold, by Nathaniel Popper.
It's "old hat" now.
It was okay, but most of the info, I'd already gathered on the web.
I think we need to look at Aeon as a Digital Diamond.
This is not about simply digging out and processing a rare earth element.
This is about creating a brilliantly faceted digital diamond.
Think on that for a moment...as you trade whiffs of electronic smoke.

Understand that this coin has changed names...will follow up.
Thanks.
(Old thread locked...curious...)

@ipsec BTW some news about listed this coin in poloniex ? Smooth indicated, on the main thread, that Poloniex could add AEON -- again -- after the Monero rebase in the near future. But it is not assured. Personally, I am a "Smooth" supporter. American Pegasus too. But I'm a late comer. Been trying so many cryptos, my head spins, without the alcohol. After all my research -- in a layman's sort of way -- I wound up on the AEON bandwagon less than a year ago. It isn't easy to use and I don't like that off-brand GUI, so I stick with a simplewallet setup. I just have a gut feeling that AEON has serious potential. This is based upon all the reading of the Monero/AEON boards, listening to the meeting minutes etc., and watching things develop. Off all the other cryptos, these two (AEON and Monero) are running public commentary, unlike Bitcoin and sons. I realize all is not publicized. Add to this, that these coins are far more secure than the run-of-the-mill crypto. Are they perfect? No. But it's a step up. IMO. Even things like Zcash bother me because the Dev's are public. How hard would it be to pressure them to crack open the safe, so to speak? My hope is that this form of corruption will be reduced, if not eliminated in a AEONic System.

I speculate that we are going to start seeing those RV's rolling around.
Except this time, you'll see "Monero" splashed on the side, instead of "Bitcoin."
The "Monero" RV will park at the beach-side RV Resort and off in the distance, just around sunset, there will be a yacht. Big, fancy, modern.
On the Yacht, Smooth will be smoking a...cigar.
And others are on the yacht as well.
Arux is telling Smooth that his "cigar" smoke is bothersome and to get the hell out of his office -- so he can go over some new algo's for AEON improvements.
American Pegasus ("AP") is sitting on a sofa, in shorts and a Panama hat, with his laptop opened.
The back deck is a little windy and several advertising execs, sweating in expensive suits, are pitching their latest ideas to AP.
Samm007 is there, pacing around a trio of bankers from Switzerland. She's agitated about the new website designs and decides to take the speed boat over to the beach to check on the old man -- Fluffy Pony. And maybe pilfer a good bottle of wine.
The rest of the clan are there too. In smaller sailboats. Other RV's.
A few planes fly in and land at a local airport.
Rickgejr, head of security, is monitoring the traffic around the yacht and on the phone to a ship, posted just over the horizon. It seems that the Russians and Chinese have subs in the area.
There is an important meeting about to begin.
It's fun to speculate...

So far:
No verification that Monero Classic is legitimate.
Inquiring Minds want to know...
Hello "Dave Wilkinson"...are you there?

Bitwala -- a centralized company.
Oh, how I pine for decentralization...
Thy shall be done...
Good night, from the Central Florida.
Sleep well, Aeon.
