[ANN] AEON: Scalable, private, mobile-friendly cryptocurrency

[josetus001]

Sort of true. The original developer abandoned it but I did create a patched version in my github with critical fixes, so it is still usable.

[smooth]

Very little actual understanding of anything, but apparently threw some money at someone to write a paper.

I recognize the distinct pungent odor of a parasitic opportunist marketer and coin pumper. 1Blockologist, is that you? Or maybe one of the other persistent BBR pumpers and Monero haters from over the years? One of the ones who predicted the rise of BBR overthrowing Monero back in 2014? Always fun to reminisce. Thanks!

Welcome to the AEON thread. Enjoy your stay!

I'm a little concerned that if there is no news or promotion the coin may be removed from Poloniex.
Its very cheap. At the current price the entire 18.4M notes will only be worth about 40 BTC.

I think you're on the wrong thread.

It is a plagiarism bot repost from this much older reply: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=641696.msg8358605#msg8358605

Likely done to rank up Newbie accounts for sig campaign earnings.


Also, update from stuffu about the upstream Monero bug that has been affecting the AEON rebase code:

I did some digging into the code and I seem to have found the bug that was making the daemon stuck: https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/3719
I've updated the pre-release v0.1.8 accordingly, so please try it out: https://github.com/stoffu/monero-core/releases/tag/v0.1.8
If we see no further issue after a while of testing, and when moneromooo puts a rubber stamp on the code, I think we're finally ready to set the fork height and announce the official release.

[bren.whit]

please leave feedback about the update release candidate I announced a few days ago.
If no problems are uncovered we will proceed to a release stage with binaries soon.
The feedback about the wallet and other ideas is great. I have some interesting and exciting ideas for this coin. Since we are a small community we can try things that are a bit too radical for bigger coin like Monero. Stay tuned and please keep the ideas flowing!
BTW, in response to the comments about including a non-anonymous coin in a wallet, that is not necessary since cryptonote can also be used non-anonymously. Transparency and audit features, when desired, are part of the protocol.

Should I continue to mine this coin?

[thehihoguy]

Is it possible to adjust the mnemonic seed list without affecting the already generated ones? ie change certain electrum words while allowing already generated wallets to still work?

Would suggest, that we exchange following seed word:

 {"rape", 1609},


https://github.com/aeonix/aeon/blob/master/src/crypto/electrum-words.h

This seed word is unacceptable for state of the art tech, specially combined with certain other words.

[boomboombazookajeff]

...words....

so this is basically an advertisment for boolberry?

Yes, and not to veer too far afield, but the crux of the argument in the advertisement seems to be "buy now because zoidberg is back", which seems like a pretty silly reason to buy since however smart the guy is he is clearly flaky af and could disappear for another three years at any moment. Bilberry was interesting, wasn't a fan of the 1% dev tax, but that seems mild and quaint by today's standards - I don't think you can raise a currency from the dead though (which to some extent aeon is attempting to do as well).

I think having a committed dev is an integral part of a project and AEON is superior in that way since there is Stoffu and Smooth and none of them ever left the project on a whim.

[yszbsducdm650]

That'd require non trivial Javascript code I think. And either continuous recalculation from scratch, or getting the pool to work out which blocks it found were reorganized away to remove those shares that were tentatively added. Just not worth it.

Anyone knows what coin uses cryptonight-lightv7?

[smooth]

Anyone knows what coin uses cryptonight-lightv7?

None yet. AEON will use it after the fork.

BTW,

Code:

21:42 < stoffu> I’m just running the new daemon. I guess we can consider it as stable enough if there’s no 
                further issue after a week or so.

Hopefully we will be ready to tag for the fork next week.

Should I continue to mine this coin?

The answer to this question everyone find independently. However, judging by the significant increase in complexity over the past two weeks, many miners would answer You "Yes, of course!".

[bbc.reporter]

I was thinking about this over this weekend. Are we the shitcoin? I criticize Ethereum and other cryptocoins for being centralized but I have not looked at the coin I support more objectively.

We have low market capitalization, a very low volume orderbook and the code is very outdated, but soon will only be a Monero copycat.

Also, if I wanted to dump all my coins, I can't because it would crash the price. I am not saying I am a whale. It will not take that much to crash Aeon.

we are responsible for our invesments.

the general debate is not very quiet presently, many rushing presently in cryptos, but also a huge fud, and a lot of fighting.

i do not feel more insecure here. there is really a lot of shitcoins.

at least here there is a cohesive attitude, and apparent clarity.

By association with Monero, AEON cannot be a shitcoin. It is, however, in need of a large push (probably by way of the rebase) in the right direction. Also, please do not crash the price without telling me

Yes we should but that is not the point. I am asking, objectively, is Aeon a shitcoin? Are we the only people loving it because we hold it?

@boomboombazookajeff. Yes, I have to be honest that the only reason I am still holding Aeon is because of smooth and stoffu because I trust them, and they are the only developers who can get Aeon out of shitcoin status if it was that,

I agree that it is a delicate phase. I hope we shall go out quickly.

but technical issues have to be fixed.

I think it's unfair to call AEON a shitcoin. It does not have any shiny new exciting features, but at least it was fairly launched without a pre-mine.
