Magnus Carlsen won the tiebreak and remained world Champion.
Monero remains the champion of blockchain privacy and AEON has now clearly surpassed BBR as the second most interesting CryptoNote currency and the new leader for pruning research.
Like many others I do like the roadmap of 1blocktologist nor do I trust his competence.
Unless crypto_zoidberg returns to actively develop Boolberry soon it appears likely the dominance of Aeon for pruning and scaling CryptoNote (Now RingCT) research will become permanent.
