It's strange that he did not make an announcement here or on Reddit. Maybe smooth was trying to avoid any controversy or avoid having the community dispute the chosen path for the rebase?

I'm confused about what you find strange. I discussed the bounty with the other sponsors (katiecharm and exciter0) and we reached a conclusion. katiecharm (who was really the most active in proposing, organizing, and supporting the bounty) posted the conclusion on reddit and I replied that I was supporting that conclusion.

Perhaps I should have mentioned it here (not just on reddit) but besides that what part is strange?

Sorry smooth, I do not visit Aeon's Reddit that much. I usually read the main post but I rarely read the replies thoroughly because of the non-linear format. It's my fault.

I also thought you were the person to first announce the winner of the bounty, that's all. But there are no worries from me, except for the drama when Dr.Paradoxical started defaming stoffu. I knew something like that was coming.

I was the person to announce the winner in terms of submitted rebase code chosen to use going forward, but that was done first on GitHub, not here or reddit. I understand that makes it more visible to actual developers than community members, so I agree it would be better in future circumstances to do so in more community-visible ways.

The award division of the bounty pool was discussed among the sponsors and katiecharm ended up announcing it but that wasn't something I paid much attention to beyond taking part in the discussion. I was never the driving force behind the bounty, although I did support it with some donation fund AEONs.

I think taking a more community centric approach is the right way to go for sure.

You can exchange AEON for Bitcoin on either Bittrex or HitBTC exchange. You can then trade the Bitcoin for many other coins if you wish.

@smooth and stoffu. With the code rebase done and a new, better release coming soon, will we see Aeon listed back in Poloniex again?

In case you did not read about it in the news, Poloniex was purchased by Circle and might become the first US regulated exchange.

There's nothing but positives for us to be in there again hehehe.

I have no idea what Poloniex plans to do now that it is part of Circle, sorry. Maybe they'll finally get around to answering my ticket about missing coins (not AEON) that has been open for a year or more.

Speaking generally, the trend these days is that most if not all exchanges require NDA by any coin reps while any discussions or work toward a listing take place, so questions about upcoming listings are pretty pointless. If there were something going no one could discuss it (not just this coin but any).

Lower memory usage and greater code similarity with Monero should facilitate listings (also speaking generally).

Did I understand correctly that AEON can only be changed to bitcoin? And I can buy it too, just for bitcoin? It's difficult for me. Why can not I spend fiat on this? As a beginner, it's easier for me to take part in an investment platform, for example Safinus. I will not have difficulties

#1 - Welcome to Crypto!

#2 - Almost all altcoins require that you exchange them for Bitcoin and then exchange the Bitcoin for fiat. There are some exceptions, but they are usually only the biggest coins, such as Ethereum, Litecoin, etc... It's an extra step to trade fiat for Bitcoin to buy altcoins, but it's not that difficult to do.

[bbc.reporter]

@sokol2504. I suggest that you stick to and hold everything you have in bitcoin, and don't you even think about investing in an obscure altcoin like Aeon. We honestly do not know where this project is going.

Also, the last thing we need are newbies like you ranting about losing money.

Is AEON now an expensive coin? Or should we wait for the market to grow?

AEON is steadily growing so the time to buy is now and not wait until the market rises when you will regret having waited too long. It has a relatively low market cap so it's a good bet and being a Cryptonote coin it will always do well.

[bbc.reporter]

@AntonKrutkov806. No one can tell. But I will tell you this. I have buy orders ready and waiting on 25k satoshis to 30k satoshis.

I reckon the best way to buy Aeon is to be patient. The liquidity is very low, so it is easy to move the price if you execute a market order. You do not want to do that, because doing so will only make it hard for you buy into it as cheaply as possible.

Just place a slightly bid and wait for days if you need to.

This will help bridge the gulf from the present world, to the world of the future. Welcome to the future! and hopefully the desired together is achieved.

AEON has a group to support, it should be a more reliable project, to establish a safe, more efficient transaction data management.

@smooth, @stoffu. Things have been too quiet around here. How long will it take for the code rebase to finally be implemented? I estimated at the end of March, but it looks like it's not.

Also what of the blockchain? Will there be a converter to turn it into an LMDB file? I would not want to download it all over again, if absolutely possible.

Thank you.

I'd like to know the answer to that first question.

The blockchain itself, given you have decent hardware, takes roughly 1 hour tops to download and be ready to use. It's not a pain like the current released version of aeond.

this is a quote from reddit user peanutsformonkeys

OK, if you have the current aeond fully synced up, you could, once you have the rebase aeond built, sync from your local up-to-date aeond with the --add-exclusive-node 127.0.0.1 flag

looks like you don't have to DL the entire blockchain. I don't think that the rebase is ready for the aeon mainchain yet.

I feel that my part in the rebase effort is mostly over, and I think it's up to smooth and other core team members to finalize things and move forward. I don't know when that will be, but I think we should take into account that Monero is having its hardfork and software release at the end of this month, which will likely keep smooth quite busy. I expect the official release of rebased Aeon to be sometime in April when all the stress involved with Monero hardfork is over.

This will work, except that the two aeond, pre-rebase and post-rebase, will need to use different port numbers for P2P and RPC, because one single computer can assign the same port number to only one program.

I posted a Q&A on Stack Exchange on how to transition from the legacy to rebase blockchain.

from last post of smooth, encouraging news:

citation begins
"stuffu has already merged the Monero PoW v2 changes and scheduled it for AEON testnet. Once everything tests out we can schedule a main net hard fork which will also be the mandatory switch over point for the new rebase code base (includes LMDB for reduced memory usage along with many, many new features and enhancements from 3+ years of Monero development)"
citation stops

Has Smooth said anything about the Cryptonight Asic that appears to be coming out?  Monero is planning to fork in order to fight the asics coming out --- will Aeon be doing the same?
