These new accounts hyping Aeon in the thread might mean two things. That they are farmed accounts trying to increase their activity in the forum or they are the people who bought at 40k satoshis and above and are now presently bagholding.
Welcome to Aeon.
Hope you're not throwing me in that pile. I'm a casual bitcointalk user and don't really ever get on here because a) most of what is on bitcointalk is bullshit and/or futile pump and dump and b) When I do get semi-excited about a coin I want to get reactions to it.
I mostly stopped mining because I felt the price cratered too much and the solo mining stratum server has issues... I was pushing 105-115KH and I would go 48 hours without a block at times... which seemed REALLY fishy to me. Plus Snipa22 released the aeon updates to xmr-node-proxy so I'll be using that going forward, probably.
I don't think the price evisceration is warranted though I do hear a lot of folks upset about what they feel is a lack of dev transparency (though I don't agree... I just think people are pissed because they want the rebase done yesterday and are otherwise impatient).
I think someone made a point about when Monero was at much lower prices... I've been mining since mid 2016 and remember when XMR was floating around the $10 range. Things change, markets grow and I feel like the entire crypto space is growing, will grow exponentially, and Aeon will grow with it.
It just takes a lot of patience and the will to stomach the volatility (especially in the case of Aeon).
