That new miner sounds pretty sweet, but Sumokin had a rough launch and I'd want to see the source for a program like that before trying to use it. Looks like a lot of work went into it. While I like free stuff, I also like to know where the benefit is to the developer before fully trusting it... or viewing the 'open source'.
The mere fact that they released the binary before publishing the source code already creates a strong sense of doubt that they could be scamming. Visually appealing GUI programs like this miner and MinerGate's miner cost a lot of money to develop, so it's natural to suspect that their primary intent can be in enriching themselves by scamming instead of contributing to the community. I retract my word accusing the Sumo GUI miner of being a scam, since they finally released the source code:

I mine both 50/50.

I generally find Aeon more profitable to mine, though it depends somewhat on the hardware. If you want to invest in Monero long-term, then better buy it directly. Monero is currently favoured in botnets, as it's a fairly mainstream coin where CPU mining remains viable. Botnet operators don't have to worry about electric bills, so exact profitability is not an issue, but it drives the network difficulty needlessly higher. As a hobbyist, I prefer dealing with lesser known emerging coins. Besides other interesting possibilities, it is easier to gather a significant chunk of the coin, which may turn out very profitable in the future. This is also quite a practical issue for mining; with the high difficulty of Monero, it takes a while to accumulate the minimum payout of typical pools.

Yeah I had very similar thoughts, I tried mining both and in terms of pure profit its about the same with my current hardware maybe even a bit more with AEON. Buts its also nice to be getting couple of coins a day instead of just 0.1 Monero every few days. I know AEON only has one developer at the moment but I still have hope it will keep improving

Maybe I'll find your email address on your cell phone. Maybe I'll send you a notification from bitcointalk.org (make it look identical), but when you click the link (you don't do you), I'll drop a keylogger and a few other goodies on your PC. Now I go and find your wallet(s), open it, empty it and just for giggles, activate a virus that wipes your PC and disables your cell phone. In the mean time, while your dealing with that, I'll comb your keylogger history looking for passwords, find all the other exchanges where you trade, open your accounts and bleed them dry. Most of what you are describing in this scenario happens on the PC, not on the phone. Finding an email address on the phone? I'm sure that's possible - but I am also pretty sure hackers prefer to hack into websites and systems that have thousands or millions of email addresses, instead of hacking into just one phone for one email address. And a single virus that wipes both the PC and disables a cell phone? Never heard of that.

@Mynero. Do not worry about what he is saying. He is just trying to convince is that running a nodes in mobile devices is not a good idea. But it really is if the blockchain's is size is maintainable enough and the node does not consume too much resources. Mobile devices might give a coin more nodes that are online at all times more possible.

Looking through it a bit now with my untrained eyes, but seems straightforward and on the up-and-up.

Does anybody have more details about bittrex Aeon wallet maintanance then they have in their FAQs? How long has it been offline and when it might be available for deposit/withdrawal?

The Bittrex wallet has been offline since early June, I believe (around then). Smooth requested that they disable it while he works on an update to fix some issues. There's been no hack or other major issues that have been encountered, so this was a pre-emptive disabling of the wallet, but it is annoying. The good thing is that since Aeon can't readily be traded, I believe it's artificially low. Hopefully when the update comes and Bittrex re-enables the wallet, things may get a nice pop... I hope

I hope https://hitbtc.com/exchange/AEON-to-BTC works fine for me. I noticed this last week and promptly sent some of my Aeon there for trading.

As teknohog said, use HitBTC if you want you are a miner and if want to sell all your Aeons. The buy orders over there are now high enough if you want to sell thousands of Aeons. Before that market was only good to sell a few hundred Aeons.

@smooth. I hope you still check this thread because I have some good news from the mobile phone space that might be of interest to you and Aeon. Gnome has partnered with Purism on the Librem 5 Linux based privacy focused smartphone. This might open an opportunity for Aeon to finally have a mobile platform to run nodes on, and maybe also mining in them. https://betanews.com/2017/09/20/gnome-purism-librem5-linux-smartphone/
