Didn't I write that up thread and also offer to donate the name to smooth (contingent on us finalizing a decision not to use it with my recent posts leaning very strongly to not using it)?
Why do you assume that if I wanted to pursue Ion that I couldn't compete and render Aeon to the lesser known coin (the hubris in your attitude irks me, typical of investors who think that they've been able to pool enough capital to defeat creativity and serendipity). But as I told smooth in a private message, I can't in good conscience continue with Ion because it is possible (quite likely in fact) that the idea for it was planted into my subconscious when I heard of Aeon. That still doesn't mean I am not entitled to the discovery of the shorter and more apt name, but I am not a sleazy person who has to get ahead by violating my ethics. I know I am creative and if I feel my creativity was not involved (instead a subconscious idea from someone else), then due to my desire for my creativity to be original as possible, I will prefer to donate Ion to its rightful owner.
What irks me is that after I made the offer to donate in the Aeon thread, you come over here and attack me on the name being too close. Have you no couth?

Dude, my talents are advertising and branding. I'm not trying to FUD you, and could care less if you called your coin Ion. I'm trying to give you a free gift of opinion because it's difficult to see your own project objectively.
Learn when to differentiate between when someone is genuinely trying to attack you vs. trying to help you in a coarse manner.
To date, I still don't own any aeon. I find that I have accidentally fell into helping with it, but I certainly don't feel enough brand loyalty to try to "FUD" anyone, certainly not over a similar sounding name.
Also, you need to look into the discussion about DAG over on the technical board; they are proposing something that sounds a lot like your system. Wish you luck, and hope you will consider integrating your math into an existing blockchain - greed and ego may insist you do not, but both of these traits will be useless in the upcoming world.
