@Febo. Are seeing a new pattern in development that is following Monero happening here? Or is Aeon's roadmap very different that it needs to go on its own way?

Smooth's ambition for Aeon is set very high, but if he does make full nodes run on mobile devices it will be a big breakthrough.

I dont think plans are high. It is always easier to copy something then do it from start. AEON cant have same development system as Monero have. It would be sort of waste of resources. First AEON needs to incorporate things Monero already have. As I remember from posts on reddit smooth advised people that wanted develop things on AEON to rather try do them on Monero first since Monero is more ready for them ( i dont remember exactly what that was). Here is to remember what was planed for AEON almost a year ago. We also need to understand that doing this was probably not main focus last month when AEON had more important issues.

The main focus of the roadmap going forward is to rebase against the current Monero. Monero has had many improvements LMDB storage of the blockchain, added features including view-only wallets, message signing, and many others. Monero adds the ability to prove payments using tx keys, which is necessary to trade on decentralized exchanges such as bitsquare.io.

The other major area of work in Monero is the upcoming GUI wallet, which is a brand new design. While AEON already has a GUI wallet using the old Neozaru open source, that upstream code is no longer maintained. Instead the Monero GUI will be ported to AEON.

Of great importance, Monero is in the process of adding RingCT, which hides the amounts of payments and improves overall privacy and fungibility significantly, with little to no additional transaction size (since RingCT replaces denominations). Some of the items from the existing AEON roadmap, such as the ability to do signature trimming and faster syncing of non-fully-validating nodes, are being incorporated in Monero's RingCT implementation, so those will be brought here as well. Finally, there are a number of other improvements such as better support for full-transparency (including spending) on view key wallets and proof-of-reserves. AEON will gain all of these features for free while it migrates to a newer, better maintained code base.
