What is blocking the merge of those open pull requests on the CLI/GUI repos?

Probably nothing, I think I forgot they were there. I will take another look.

who knows zephyr ?
it integrates moreno if i have well understood.
then it derives on a hyper-collateralized stablecoin that wants to be more secure.

how to evaluate this idea ?
would not such an idea  be discussed in order to increase the use of aeon ?

FYI I think I’ll be shutting down my seed node here at the end of the month which also includes the block explorer. Someone will have to make the commit to remove it from the seed list. Most likely will delete the Twitter and social accounts and maybe even discord channel since nobody ever visits that anymore for probably the last 2-3 years. It’s just a bunch of spam.

a pity to let die a good project..

Project won’t die unless all seed nodes are shut down and no nodes running. That old i3 running in grandmas basement will keep on chugging along forever.

There just really isn’t anyone working on the project the last two years other than stoffu pushing some commits to keep the code somewhat behind Monero in a feasible way.

any hint of smooth ?

Handed over ownership of discord to Stoffu.

Seed node shut down as well as block explorer that was on that vps.

thank you so much for clarity, its not seen so frequently.
meanwhile, maybe somebody is accumulating aeon at low cost on TO.

Smooth’s inactivity has been strange.
He does seem alive though, as the bitcointalk user profile page https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=13813 says

Last Active:   November 26, 2023, 04:05:13 AM

Also, assuming the Twitter account https://twitter.com/AeonCoin belongs to him, that account also replies actively.

Anyway, if smooth insists on his inactivity, I think we as a community need to do something about it. What do you think?

[estenity]

thank you stoffu

in effect there is present inactivity of smooth in posting

for example https://nitter.net/aeoncoin and this thread

i concur with you so say that as a community we have to do something.

If smooth is to keep silence indefinitely, that means we would lose

• the donation fund amounting to 445k AEON + 0.81 BTC, according to https://github.com/aeonix/aeon/issues/215
• control of the aeon.cash website (i.e., unless smooth cooperates and merges changes, that website can’t get updated)

The former is unfortunate but we just have to accept it. The latter means we’d need to create a new "official" github account and a website. Preferably we’ll also need a new maintainer that is not me who merges changes proposed by me and other developers. Is there anyone willing to take this role?

Thats a typo. The actual account was always u/smooth_xmr

I'm still around, just haven't had time to pay attention to aeon. No, I didn't run off with the fund (if someone wants to verify on the chain, the enormous output that I made for proof-of-reserves a while back has likely never been used at all since there are none other of that size that would have used it as a decoy).

What are the most urgent things that need to be done? I'll try to free up some time if needed.

Glad to know that you didn’t disappear silently. I don’t think there’s anything urgent right now, but IMO the real problem is that your responsiveness as a project maintainer is worryingly low. Quoting from https://github.com/aeonix/aeon/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md:

The codebase is intentionally kept close to Monero's in order to benefit from the higher code reliability due to the larger source of peer reviewing available in Monero.

The above goal is achieved through the continuous effort of merging upstream improvements.

We’re supposed to continue updating the codebase till it catches up with Monero. The speed of update doesn’t have to be fast, but it should at least appear to be steady and alive. Your becoming inactive unexpectedly for more than 6 months is not good.

From this experience I realized that the fact that smooth is the only one who has control over the official github repos and the website, is a bad practice; if he dies suddenly we’re in trouble. I think we should have multiple people with the backup maintainer role. I think Monero does this way (not sure about other smaller coins like Wownero).

[smooth]

I agree with the points made by stoffu.

We should have additional people (at least one) with access to the github repos (the web site is also a repo, which is why I phrased it that way).

Further, I would also suggest that I should step down as maintainer and hand over administration of the project assets to someone else. I clearly don't have the time to continue usefully in this role. The community should reach consensus on who this should be.

good proposition open for discussion.

in 2024 aeonix has not had any activity until now.
