Aeon Ask Anything Tuesday was designed for you!

Thankyou! Kind words.

I think it's definitely worth going the extra distance in pursuit of building something truly great.

I love all your designs. It may take a while but with you on the Aeon team I am certain both the website and mobile wallet (when ready) will look great.

Translation / language universality is a great point.

At the moment the designs are mainly just sketches as a way of thinking about the UI process while testing out different color schemes, typography etc.

For the purposes of universality the UI experience should (imo) be as simple and intuitive as possible.

One example is ditching the use of the terms Locked Balance and Unlocked Balance, which is just unnecessarily confusing (particularly to bitcoin immigrants).

If it brings 0 benefit and +1 confusion (and can be changed easily) then alternatives should be used. Reverting to Confirmed Balance and Unconfirmed Balance has unity with bitcoin nomenclature. (Although an even better method might be to just use Available Balance and simply re-formulate unconfirmed balances as incoming transactions - which is effectively whats used in the fiat system today).

Another thing I was looking at was how best to present and interact with a 95-character long Aeon Address on a small mobile phone screen in a way that is both practical, visible, and stylistically appealing. If there's one really irritating thing about cryptocurrency addresses, its typing (or even pasting) them into tiny single-line entry fields, which invariably involves part of the address being concealed at one end or another - you never really know which is the start and which is the end -and a careless keypress or pasting mistake can lead to an erroneous entry.

One way around this (as seen above) is splitting the entry field into 5 rows of 19 characters so that the incoming address is automatically truncated (and centrally justified)... making it entirely visible, practical to manipulate and pleasing to the eye.

I like the designs here. When designing are you trying to make them as symbolic as possible, making it easier to use by mitigating language barriers and having the added benefit of decreasing translation costs?

Only fools would sell AEON at below 20k.  it will hit 30k > on polo

Good video. I wonder what Mr. Jobs would have thought about Aeon.

Yeah I can throw in a few æ into the mix.

A bootstrapped template for a website just isn't going to cut it - it needs to be properly designed from scratch (imho).

I'll work on some PSD mockups of a few site designs and post them here later in the week. Perhaps with some PSD designs on display we as a community can analyse and introspect accordingly (as we did with the logos).... and then once we've gotten to an area we like... then it should be a fairly simple process for a web coder to take the PSDs and construct accordingly.

This way we can guarantee that everyone has a say in how the site looks and the various elements that should be included. Plus... working from PSD mockups ensures that we start by considering the user experience first and thus work backwards to the technology.... just as I have been doing recently with some mockups for an Aeon mobile wallet:-

1. Who will host it?

github

2. Who will pay for the hosting?

no need to pay

3. Who will manage the hosting?

look above

4. Choice of domain name.

AFAIK domain name donated to smooth

5. Site design. Frontend / Backend.

No idea, some paid bootstrap theme is good enough

6. Ongoing management and maintenance.

Management = add necessary content, re-generate site.


I am not 100% sure if it's possible to host static website on github with 2nd level domain name, if not, then 5 usd droplet behind Cloud flare free plan is ok for a static website. Or even a 3 euro dedicated ARM on scaleway.com

I think the key variables are:-

1. Who will host it?

2. Who will pay for the hosting?

3. Who will manage the hosting?

4. Choice of domain name.

5. Site design. Frontend / Backend.

6. Ongoing management and maintenance.

If listed on Polo, all it takes is for one of those 100 bitcoin buy attacks and Aeon would skyrocket to 30k+ satoshi permanently. 
 
So just assume it's already happened and continue to acquire and help the community however you can. 
 
Speaking of which, some people have asked me to do a fundraiser to make a proper website.  I know it's not much at the moment, but I would be willing to donate 5000 to 10000 Aeon to whoever would make such a thing... assuming it passed the muster of the Aeon community.

I dunno what volume and volatility will be there on polo, currently polo looks like a fat land, buy something and let it grow Nx times. Hard to predict.

For long time AEON on a bittrex looks like extremely cheap and hot muffins in a showcase at dinner time and a number of available AEON for this giveaway becomes smaller with each passing day.

AEON having a very small market cap I expected to be more volatile than XMR not less. What do you think the trading volume and volatility would look like if it was listed on Poloniex already?

Not so long as you think, the whole ask side is very thin and every holder is seems strong, it's near impossible to acquire 50-100K and interest grows. Current asks at current price is just 20 BTC worth. Legit CN coins looks hard to fly, but if they do they do it easy.
These tiny dumpers can be ignored, I consider them as random aliens.

Nice signature line!

5%-10% of XMR is a long way up from here. It might be possible long term but probably not until LMDB is done and AEON is listed on Poloniex.

XMR is going to 300-320K satoshi very soon, I believe that in current stage AEON can be fairly valued at 5-10%.

After the big rise in XMR today maybe some people will start thinking about diversifying their CryptoNote holdings.

yes, of course.  Sorry I haven't done it sooner and thanks for the reminder.
