The proposal has been made by MoneroMoo (and refined by Smooth) that the trailing emission should be 8/9% or 0.888~% (infinite 8's).
I agree for many reasons. It's a number that carries lots of mathematical amusements and symbology:

It really feels like we found the ideal answer here, and I encourage everyone to get on board, but if you have any reservations or you disagree please feel free to make your voice heard.
For a while AEON was going up while almost all alts were falling. Looks like gravity finally caught up to it:(
As I've stated, it was going up mainly because I was buying a lot but the buying pressure has declined a little. But our purpose isn't to create some shallow pump. We want to create a genuine technological asset that will support Monero and Cryptonote research going forward while also establishing its own identity. Let's be more worried about Aeon price this time next year, or even in 2017, not whether or not we ride the coattails of the current Bitcoin explosion.
