What is the update on the code rebase and who is commissioned to do it? I hope it is someone with the experience and the efficiency of the Monero development team. Smooth cannot risk giving it to unknowns.
There has to be guidelines and it should be under smooth's direction, very much like Linus Torvalds job in Linux.

Indeed.

All submissions will be peer reviewed by the community and by me prior to any release (which is a long way off in any case, first step will be a working testnet).
Long way off. Do you mean finishing the code rebase? When, do you reckon, will there be a final release, judging from this set of less experienced developers taking on the bounty?
Can you say that there is a candidate release by March or April, 2018?
I meant a release for the live network. There will need to be a testnet and a scheduled hard fork. Long way off is relative, and I didn't mean years.. March or April is plausible, depending on results of this bounty initiative. We'll see.
Why is the blocktime so slow? Does this make it safer?
Slower block time has some advantages for network stability but also for keeping the blockchain smaller and syncs faster, especially when usage is low (but syncs can be faster in some cases regardless of transaction rate).
thank you guys for the feedback i'll check on Aeon from time to time hope it rises from the ashes.
