Noting for the benefit of people contributing to this PR and the previous one that the current plan is to declare this method the winner both for bounty purposes (as decided by bounty sponsors) and also accepted for eventual adoption as the main AEON codebase.
Other submissions will be declared runners up, will also receive a portion of the bounty, and are encouraged to submit their value-add, if any, as individual PRs following the conclusion of the rebase task."
Congrats to stoffu, I get from his reddit comments he was not driven by the bounty, however the bounty has been highly effective in galvanising the effort for the re-base which lacked progress before the bounty was set by Smooth from the developer fund and the kind donations from katiecharm and exciter0. Looking at moneromooo's review comments it does seem that stoffu has minimized the changes to the Monero code in his rebase submission which I believe is the correct approach to allow Aeon to benefit from Moneros continued development but will also allow Aeon to flourish with potentially new independent features which will be more mobile focused through AEON's own development community.
Hopefully developers from the competing Dr. Paradoxical team and slb will come together with Smooth & stoffu and assist re-base testing to get to main-net and also drive forward future AEON development.
On wards and upwards for AEON
