I recently -- within the last six months or so -- read Digital Gold, by Nathaniel Popper.

It's "old hat" now.

It was okay, but most of the info, I'd already gathered on the web.

I think we need to look at Aeon as a Digital Diamond.

This is not about simply digging out and processing a rare earth element.

This is about creating a brilliantly faceted digital diamond.

Think on that for a moment...as you trade whiffs of electronic smoke.

Smooth indicated, on the main thread, that Poloniex could add AEON -- again -- after the Monero rebase in the near future.

But it is not assured.

Personally, I am a "Smooth" supporter. American Pegasus too. But I'm a late comer.

Been trying so many cryptos, my head spins, without the alcohol.

After all my research -- in a layman's sort of way -- I wound up on the AEON bandwagon less than a year ago.

It isn't easy to use and I don't like that off-brand GUI, so I stick with a simplewallet setup.

I just have a gut feeling that AEON has serious potential. This is based upon all the reading of the Monero/AEON boards, listening to the meeting minutes etc., and watching things develop.

Off all the other cryptos, these two (AEON and Monero) are running public commentary, unlike Bitcoin and sons.

I realize all is not publicized.

Add to this, that these coins are far more secure than the run-of-the-mill crypto.

Are they perfect? No. But it's a step up. IMO.

Even things like Zcash bother me because the Dev's are public. How hard would it be to pressure them to crack open the safe, so to speak?

My hope is that this form of corruption will be reduced, if not eliminated in a AEONic System.

BTW some news about listed this coin in poloniex ?

Aeon is skyrocketing with monero because it also uses cryptonite tech, maybe the price could be higher if xmr pump is not over.

I speculate that we are going to start seeing those RV's rolling around.

Except this time, you'll see "Monero" splashed on the side, instead of "Bitcoin."

The "Monero" RV will park at the beach-side RV Resort and off in the distance, just around sunset, there will be a yacht. Big, fancy, modern.

On the Yacht, Smooth will be smoking a...cigar.

And others are on the yacht as well.

Arux is telling Smooth that his "cigar" smoke is bothersome and to get the hell out of his office -- so he can go over some new algo's for AEON improvements.

American Pegasus ("AP") is sitting on a sofa, in shorts and a Panama hat, with his laptop opened.

The back deck is a little windy and several advertising execs, sweating in expensive suits, are pitching their latest ideas to AP.

Samm007 is there, pacing around a trio of bankers from Switzerland. She's agitated about the new website designs and decides to take the speed boat over to the beach to check on the old man -- Fluffy Pony. And maybe pilfer a good bottle of wine.

The rest of the clan are there too. In smaller sailboats. Other RV's.

A few planes fly in and land at a local airport.

Rickgejr, head of security, is monitoring the traffic around the yacht and on the phone to a ship, posted just over the horizon. It seems that the Russians and Chinese have subs in the area.

There is an important meeting about to begin.

It's fun to speculate...

I think it mostly depends on two things: XMR price and poloniex.

The higher XMR goes, the more interest there will be in other cryptonote coins. With a large increase in XMR value I would expect an even larger increase in AEON. The volume on bittrex reached ~150 BTC at peak which is very little, in comparison BBR had about 10x as much volume on poloniex. So getting AEON on poloniex would be very bullish since AEON is generally considered a better buy than BBR.

XMR increase to ~0.03 and AEON on polo and I think we could easily see 0.001.

Would that mean Aeon that will be more cutting edge in the future? I can also see that it would be better for Monero to have Aeon as a test bed in a real chain in a real world setting than testing it in a Monero test net.

If you are a speculator and want to see what is in store for XMR, you must check out Aeon's github first.

What price do you guys believe AEON can reach in the next few months?

With Monero being more used at Darknet would you guys expect to people be more interested at AEON as it has similar features?

Looking the price now of AEON it seems to be cheap with the future potential. Just my opinion.

You are not mistaken. It is a separate coin with its own identity.

The "testbed" idea comes about because being much smaller and with a stated purpose that is more experimental in nature (though this does not mean we will implement every stupid idea just because it is "experimental") mean that some things like pruning are hard forks are easier to pull off and more likely to happen here. But that doesn't make it just about porting things to Monero. As someone else noted a few comments back, both are open source and free to exchange ideas and code whenever it makes sense to do so.

So if I understand you all correctly, the Monero team is not officially linked to the Aeon team. Yet improvements made in Aeon somehow finds its way to Monero, how come the Aeon team have not accused the Monero team of theft?

I'm considering invest in AEON.

Fair enough. But monero also merged fixes done by zoidberg in boolberry. Does that make boolberry a testbed for monero?

I don't think that AEON is just about trying stuff out to see if it works and can be ported to monero. Am I mistaken?

Correct


That is quite true. The discussion on whether and how to change Monero's block time was informed by the experience having done so with AEON (specifically how it affected the level of orphan blocks and reorgs on the network), and also in identifying some specific issues with transitioning the difficulty algorithm (specifically the experience here showed that a special adjustment rules was not needed or worth the added complexity, and Monero didn't include one for that reason).

Also, while pruning hasn't been implemented in Monero the experience here has also informed development plans there in terms of making similar optimizations in the future (that would be even more true if the usage on this network picked up a bit showing more experience with the storage reduction in practice).


Very good point, I would not have have remembered that one myself.

Another one was merging that ip ban code from BBR (required changes due to BBR's own divergence) and making some improvements to it. That happened here first then was ported to Monero, the latter being more straightforward due the similarity in code.

AEON's hard fork to change block intervals was a testbed for Monero's similar hard fork.

I agree that there is no official relationship despite the overlapping community and smooth as a developer.

However, Aeon improvement have already been merged in to the Monero codebase. Here is an example of a privacy improvement found and fixed by smooth for Aeon before it was merged to Monero

As far as I know that has never happened and AEON is NOT a testbed for Monero. In fact in the near future it will be the exact opposite. Aeon will integrate stuff developed and tested in Monero (lmdb and GUI at least, don't remember if ringCT).

This project was picked up by smooth alone (after the former dev closed shop) and although there is some overlap in the community, the Monero Team has no official ties to AEON.

So, just to clarify because someone has already expressed concern: I did not actually buy a million Aeon, nor have any plans to.  If 400k bitcoins is good enough for a genius like Tramell, then who am I to try to acquire more than 400k Aeon?  
  
I do plan on upping my holdings to 420k though, partially for the lulz, and partially because my wife technically owns 20k Aeon so I would rather have that on top of my personal amount.

The supply cap is the same as XMR. That is 18.4 million coins plus the tail emission for miners. It would help to look at Aeon not as a clone to Monero but more of a testnet. I believe the development team sometimes add features to Aeon first before adding them to Monero making sure that they are stable and useful.

I started mining some AEON like a couple weeks ago, missed the pump!
