Buz (Turkish) or μπoύζι (buzi - boozi) (Greek) is the word for cold - frozen.
Are you sure?

good afternoon smooth

Can i assume developments have now resumed

good afternoon smooth

Correct me if I'm wrong but as long as XMR is being developed then Aeon is as well.

Yes that is true, but I've also resumed work on some of the AEON-specific stuff. I'll have more commits going up to github in the next day or two.

I want to get the first hard fork deployed soon and included with that task I would like to have mining pool support.

In order to accelerate the process, I'm offering development bounties from the donation fund for upgrading the pool software (zone and/or universal) and tsiv GPU miner to support the modified PoW for the upcoming hard fork.

The way the bounties will work is that developers can bid (lowest bid wins). When there is a significant pause in bidding (e.g. no bids for 24 hours), I will award a contract. Contract awards will go to the lowest bidder that I judge qualified (if unsure whether a bidder is qualified, I will ask for documentation of past work such as github repos, etc.) Upon awarding a contract the developer will have one week to deliver an acceptable solution (judged by me). If no solution is delivered within one week, the contract will expire and the task will be reopened for new bids.

Starting bids:

pool software: 10000 AEON

tsiv miner: 10000 AEON

I bid 10000 for the tsiv miner since it is easier for me to work on that than the pool code, but i prefer that I get outbid since I have other tasks to work on.

EDIT: added note that only qualified bids will be accepted.

[MoneroMooo]

I bid for the pool software: 10000 AEON

[smooth]

I consider MoneroMooo qualified for this work, bid accepted, bidding still open.

happy to do marketing, getting ad space once it hits a exchange after hard fork.

In a PM between me and dnaleor he suggest Litenote as a new name for AEON, I think it sounds much better and considering the "lite" new POW it could be a strategic marketing move.

[smooth]

I'm awarding the contract for the pool upgrade bounty to MoneroMooo for 10 000 AEON.

I'm leaving open the tsiv miner upgrade, since I'm in no hurry to grab that work item myself and that is best done once there is an upgraded pool to test against anyway, so it is fine to have that contract start a bit later.

[dnaleor]

In a PM between me and dnaleor he suggest Litenote as a new name for AEON, I think it sounds much better and considering the "lite" new POW it could be a strategic marketing move.

It's indeed something I thought about, let me explain it a bit more:

AEON wants to have a more "lightweight" approach with pruning, lighter mining algorithm, running nodes on smartphones, etc.

Furthermore, I see AEON as "the little brother" of XMR. It's possible that AEON can become an important factor in testing new features that can eventually be transferred to XMR. And there is even more, smooth is a dev of both coins.
If we use the 'lite' brand, we ride on the notion of litecoin being "the silvers to bitcoin's gold". If we adopt this new name, the coin would be immediately associated with being "the silver to cryptonote/XMR gold"

This positions the coin in the right place imho. So the 'lite' brand has 2 meanings: 'lightweight' and 'silver'.
There is a new dev team now, so rebranding AEON to Litenote (XLN) might be a good idea.

It's just an idea, don't know what others think about it.

I like it more than Aeon. It sounds more serious now (like DigitalNote), the connotations are better. Plus the Aeon sounds too ethereal.

Since noone else chimed in for tsiv's... I don't have the hardware to test, but I've just hacked the build stuff to compile with GCC instead of nvcc, and the changes are similar to the few I've already done, so I can make the change, and it will *probably* work, just can't test myself.

So I can bid for 5k, plus 5k for smooth to build and run it on my test pool to double check it does indeed work.

@Moneromoo : Could I be awarded with the nvidia compilation / testing ?  

Edit: For the joint effort with Moneromoo, I bid my portion of the task at 4500 AEON.

Sure

Same. So a joint bid of 9000.
