For those of you wondering, this is the penalty for anyone who continually points out the flaws in flawed currencies like Dash, Bytecoin, and VanillaCoin.  
  
So if you don't want to be character assassinated, please don't point out the gaping flaws in the ethics, launches, and distributions of scams that exist only to enrich those who got in early at your expense.  
  
Again, the mods need to delete this topic.  It serves no purpose but to cause issues in the community.

Can I just ask, did you acquire any AEON yet Pegasus?  Smooth did, at least 2.5% just in donations according to the AEON thread.  Although I guess, if you just read the XMR thread, no way you could know that.

AEON market cap: $ 141,584
XMR market cap:  $ 4,201,966

AEON volume on Bittrex: $ 1,404
XMR volume on Bittrex: $ 943

Smooth's commits on AEON: 43 commits
Smooth's commits on XMR: 9 commits

Smooth's latest position on GUI with AEON hat on:

is a gui wallet for this coin? something with a regular interface
Coming soon. You could probably get some of the third party Monero wallets to work, since the APIs are similar or identical.

Smooth's latest position on GUI with XMR hat on:

...Is your wallet supposed to look like just command lines? ...
You can try lightWallet if you want a GUI and a full node. There is a convenient torrent with pre-synced blockchain here:

You will need a minimum of 4 GB of RAM and 6-8 GB is better. If you don't have that you can't run a node yet, but the upcoming DB version will fix that.


Both coins claiming the same features:

- True anonymity & data protection
- Untraceable payments uses ring signature
- Unlinkable transactions with random data by the sender
- Blockchain analysis resistant
- CPU/GPU mining, ASIC-resistant


So just running a few scenarios...what happens as AEON grows now, with all the work Smooth is doing bringing in Monero an BBR features, and the market cap starts to approach $1 million (or 25% of XMR's).  I guess that will be new money, no other investment from the XMR community, so there is no conflict with XMR?  

I guess none of us know what Smooth is really doing right? - maybe he now has 50/50 of his holdings in both XMR / AEON.  Or maybe he dumped XMR or will do in future, or maybe the other way around.  With the lack of any confirmed information, or even a hint from the inside, no way for us to know.

One thing is sure, if AEON gets to $1 million market cap in the near future, Smooth's 2.5% of AEON will be worth $25,000.  If AEON can reach XMR's market cap, that's a cool $100,000 just from donations he received (plus anything he bought along the way).   I wonder what he will do if he is in that position with $100k+ AEON?  Keep it for the 'long haul'? Dump it and buy XMR?  Run off with the BTC?  Buy another coin?

Without any official responses or disclosure to any of this, I guess we have to speculate for the info in threads like this in the backstreets of BCT  Roll Eyes
