AEON is looking so promising by the day

Did Aeon fork into 2 chains?
Technically yes (as is always the case, there is always someone who doesn't upgrade) but there is no evidence of any uptake of the pre-V7 chain (no exchanges listing it, no projects claiming to take on support of it, etc.) One advantage of Aeon over Monero is it can fork but does not have the risk of splitting into 2 or more supported chains because the community is small and can be herded in 1 way towards the real chain. What is your assessment on Aeon as the first to test Bulletproofs and be the first Cryptonote based coin to release it with RingCT enabled? I reckon the developers should keep pushing it while hardforking is easily managed and while everyone is not looking hehehe. |

If Aeon grows larger in the future, illegitimate forks like Monero Classic will emerge inevitably just because the financial stake becomes higher. Whether the community is united well or not won't matter much. The first CryptoNote coin that adopted Bulletproofs is Wownero, AFAIK. Some may see this as irresponsible of them because the audit process funded by the Monero community is still going on, but others may see it OK because Wownero is supposed to be a joke coin and is allowed to do wild experiments. To me, the most reasonable path for Aeon would be to adopt Bulletproofs a little after Monero adopts it, because that way we can be sure that it's working well and has no issues. As someone once said somewhere, maybe Monero is Aeon's testnet... |

stuffu has identified and fixed two important wallet bugs, one inherited from Monero (and also submitted as a fix upstream), one native to the AEON rebase. As far as we know the bug fixes are correct and are merged to master but not in a release yet.
We would like to spin a point release fixing these bugs soon, and before we do, we are inviting the community to engage in public testing.
If you are able to pull master from GitHub and compile your own tree, please test the new wallet especially making transfers that need to be split (generally these are spending a large number of small incoming transfers).
Please report any successes or failures here. (okay to report results here too, we will see them in either place) |

There is no Wallet.dat in Aeon files, only blockchain.bin
- Open a wallet file ( from a *.keys file, but the password is not recognized when I try with my *.keys file, which work perfectly in old CLI !)
This should work both with the new CLI and GUI. Make sure you're putting the right password. This is what I did when I updated to the current AEON blockchain/fork and went from the old CLI wallet to the GUI wallet. It worked for me on the first try after entering the password. |

As someone once said somewhere, maybe Monero is Aeon's testnet... But Aeon does have a testnet. It can be tested there before releasing it officially. I reckon Aeon should be Monero's testnet and not the opposite. Monero has so much more to lose in my opinion. Telling everyone that Monero is Aeon's testnet would only be deluding ourselves. |

Would it be worth it if we pay to have Aeon listed in a small unknown exchange? Maybe with the new codebase it can be requested to be listed back to Poloniex again, or Cryptopia. Also why was it delisted in Cryptopia? A small exchange should be happy to list Aeon hehehe. |

I don't remember the specifics, but they said it fucked their database up and were pissed, so that was that. |

There was a bug in the daemon and some nodes (including Cryptopia's) got stuck on an invalid fork. In fact most transactions confirmed on both chains and there were no significant losses for anyone, but as stated above, it apparently was a database issue for Cryptopia. |

Recommended bug fix update 0.12.1.1 (Sophia point release 1)This recommended point release fixes three wallet bugs which can result in failed transactions or missed payments under certain conditions. It also includes improved installation instructions for Ubuntu/Debian. https://github.com/aeonix/aeon/releases/tag/v0.12.1.1Source code only for now, binaries will be added later

I just look and enjoy the project and its development. It is immediately evident the team works and with good speed. Adding coins to the stock exchange and updates, as well as meetings, say a lot.

Ok, no more chance that Aeon will be listed in Cryptopia hehehe. But what about Poloniex? I assume they delisted Aeon because it was hard running a node with less than 8gb of RAM and the codebase was outdated. Will there be a chance it can be listed again now that the codebase is updated? |

So you don't need Craptopia listing anymore. |

Stocks.Exchange is one of the worst exchanges, avoid it.

It is possible, however, poloniex's wallets seem almost unmaintained at the moment. There are numerous listed coins with wallets that have been down for months. I would guess that Circle (now owner of poloniex) will come up with a better system for supporting coins at some point, but they haven't yet. |

Was it only a year ago that Poloniex was in the top half dozen exchanges? It seems longer then that, but it's been a crazy year+ in Cryptoville.
I second avoiding Stocks Exchange, I don't trust them as far as I can throw them.

@smooth. I reckon someone between you, stoffu or american pegasus need to contact Poloniex and make some proposal and tell them that Aeon is now upgraded?
Also, how was Aeon listed the first time?

Poloniex listed every cryptonote shitcoin under the sun for about 3-4 months at least. Just got in early. |
