Exciting project, I'm pretty confident that this one will end up succeeding, especially after reading all the blog posts (back @ blog.aion)
The only real downside is the fact that AION is still not as popular as I would hope, you know?
Aion doesnt have to be popular now, most coins are still operating on ethereum. Once the entire market starts scaling faster (when global adoption increases) Aion will be among the most popular projects definitely
