[ANN] AEON [2018-11-30: update to 0.12.7.0+ ASAP; 0.12.8.0 on Windows]

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?

The group behind Dr.Paradoxical was indeed loud and it almost appeared that they suggested there should be community consensus behind them and more when they proposed 2 hardforks a year and activating RingCT.

I thought this was odd as well but there are some serious accusations fluttering about which has me a little concerned. Smooth has been a steadfast leader in turbulent times and I doubt this will change. On another note, I am happy with the progress we seem to be making.

Interesting times for AEON. When to expect an official announcement about the code rebate?

@smooth. We haven't heard from you in a while ever since the drama exploded on Reddit. I would like to hear some of your thoughts on the matter and what you think about Dr.Paradoxical's accusations on stoffu.

I reckon it was an just honest mistake on his part, and maybe partly from frustration that all their hard work was not merged in the codebase.

Stoffu did his rebase in only 24 hours. That must be so annoying when you did yours for more than a month hehehe.

As a community, we should forgive and forget.

There is no one better qualified to assess this issue and I assess that there was no plagiarism. Whatever problem people have accepting that reality is their problem and I won't address it further. Their effort and enthusiasm was good, and I hope it can be channeled toward positive contributions in the future, but it is now being expressed in a negative and destructive manner.

End of story.

I like the way this guy's making his way through

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?

I think it's just that not everyone on this forum is aware that Reddit tends to be a more active place for discussion and/or announcements etc.  Perhaps a sentence in the first post of the thread telling folks to keep a close eye on Reddit as well as this forum for the latest news?

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.

Which exchange that can change aeon coin to other coin with small amount?

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.

[bbc.reporter]

@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.
