If you are guys did this, I would be a huge contributer to the tune of many tens of thousands of Aeon no matter what.  
  
Super optionally, As well, I have an upcoming (fairly distributed with me having no advantage) Counterparty asset coming out soon.  If you were willing to incorporate these custom magical tokens into the game, I would be happy to airdrop a significant amount of the base token into the hands of players.  It's going to be basically a retro fantasy version of the rarepepedirectory.com cards.

Here's a couple of sample cards from Series One.  In series two we allow users to submit their own cards.  Actual in game effects of these tokens would be left up to the game programmers as it is outside my area of expertise.  But a relaunch of CK for Aeon with some secondary layer custom cryptographic assets (that can't be taken away or fall in value even in the worst cases) would be awesome.  This might be a pipe dream though, as it would require BOTH Aeon integration and reading signed tx from Counterparty assets (to assure that the player actually owned an asset).  One day would be amazing to do this natively on Aeon, but at the moment second layers with custom assets only exist on the bitcoin blockchain.  

 


 

Announcing a 40k Aeon development & rebase bounty:  



https://www.reddit.com/r/Aeon/comments/7laim2/20000_aeon_rebase_bountydev_contract_possibly

As someone who played with Monero back in the early days, I was honestly shocked at how easy Aeon was to setup and use on a range of operating systems.  Having very little knowledge of Mac OS I was still able to get a node up and running with very few steps, and setting up a Windows instance is absurdly simple, literally a few button clicks.  
  
I think if Aeon wants to find new ways to differentiate itself from Monero, a "really really ridiculously easy" design philosophy seems to be something that a.) traditionally is met with great love by the market and b.) can help advance the art is unexpected ways and c.) already seems to be a direction this project is taking.  
  
I just wanna thank everyone who has worked on the Aeon code these past couple of years streamlining and improving it. 💜 It's work beyond recompense, when one considers the awesome scope of Cryptonote and how crucial it will become as the years go on.  I think once rebase is launched and the dev floodgates are opened, we are going to see Aeon evolve quickly in some really neat ways, perhaps even diverging from Monero at times.

Also, yes, this account is back under my control, and thanks for the community banding together to deincentivize the theft of highly recognized accounts like this one.  Also thanks to the anon who returned this to me - don't care if it was the person who cracked it, bought it, or a benevolent: it is very big of you to return such a valuable thing to the rightful hands. 💕

This account is now back under the control of the real^tm americanpegasus.  Someone ethical handed over the password back to me, thankfully.  I am sorry for any nonsense that has been happening while the account was in other hands.
 
Now let's get back to eerily accurate predictions about the future.

I'm still cuckoo for pepe puffs, though who the fuck knows.  But I am still adamantly excited about XCP and this project. 

Proud bag holder since 2015. 😄😄😄

I never left.  My attention has just been elsewhere.  But yes, it's good to recognize old faces. 😊


I have become aware of something incredibly profound happening in the market space for crypto.  It's so remarkable that I'm not even sure those working on it understand all the ramifications.  Ultimately it may do for exchanges what bitcoin did for money itself... Imagine an open source program that automatically market makes an asset and returns money to you.  Imagine this code given away for free, out in the open, and encouraged for everyone to use.  This is coming soon.  Bitcoin allowed everyone to have the power of the mint.  Well soon the power of Wall Street hedge funds will be in the hands of all market participants as well. 
 
But in the meantime....  Woooo! 
 

Let's talk about them here in today's "Rare Pepe of the Day" feature which has been super absent for a while.  
  
There are SEVEN total and from what I can tell that's all there will ever be.  Seven unique Pepe artifacts, each a proud member of the rarest tier of all: the 1/1s.  Current market value for each of these is around $4000 to $10,000 unbelievably enough.  You can click each card picture to visit its corresponding page on rarepepedirectory.com and can even view the blockchain ownership record there!  Enjoy.

lol u wut m8?  
  
This is my public address, filled to the absolute brim with some of the dankest rares in all of the Pepeverse.  You are welcome to try to assemble a better collection but here's a spoiler alert for you: good fucking luck.  I take extreme pride in my collection and tend the memes well.  
  
https://rarepepewallet.com/?addr=1Fpx9NPBJsRbx6RXkvfZ3n1iCYj7n7VaJR&type=gallery
  
I could make a strong argument for my address being one of the top five addresses in existence.  Hell, the 1/1 unique cosmic-tier MYLITTLEPEPE does that.  (That sale was the most expensive Pepe card sold on the DEX btw with a USD equivalent of $3500).  See those 72 PEPESUS cards?  I never made my own tribute card - someone else did and I spent $thousands acquiring as many as possible to give it some value.  Feel free to admire the solid number of epic Series 1 and 2 godly-tier cards, including nearly a tenth of all RAREPEPEs themselves.  I've spent a small fortune and a ton of time trying to build an amazing collection, and I know if I find it fun then others surely will too.  Plus the advent of booster packs will soon make it much easier to build up an impressive assortment of rares.  Finally, I've created several cards of my own and pledged most of the profits from sales to charity and crowdfunding. 

Are you done getting BTFO or do you have anything else profoundly stupid you want to try to troll with?

Now begins a remarkable moment.  And it's not just about the new ATH marketcap.  
  
We have one of the first examples of a decentralized social structure emerging organically.  A decentralized asset and game, rising up from the ashes of the constituent satoshi from which it was forged, becoming something more than the little bits and cryptobytes that make it up.  We are talking about something for which we don't have proper language to describe yet in English and any attempt to do so does a disservice to what it truly is.  
  
Call it a decentralized game?  It's much more than a game.  This an entire ecosystem of cryptotokens with a maze of value between them.  
And yet calling it a shitcoin or a simple token isn't right either, because these aren't some throw away token mined on a few desktop PCs like most blockchains - this is an asset built upon existing blockchain security.  In fact, forget the game.  This digital collectible can have a theoretically infinite tower of data structures and relationships built on top of it, the crypto-key only controlling the one thing that has eluded humanity for so long: the elusive concept of digital scarcity.  
  
We could have scarcely understood it years ago as this tech first made its mark, but this is the dawning genesis of something much more than a block - this is the dawn of a new layer of civilization itself.  And Pepe is here to help launch this concept.  Consider what is happening all around you at this very moment - a random American teen and a random Nepalese teen can awake on the same day, spend some love and effort on a new Pepe card, register the asset, and within a day or so be selling their original intellectual property (created out of thin air) on the free market.  
  
Can they make a fortune?  No, not the day of the sale.... but remember that bitcoins were a worthless nerd asset too at one point.  And similarly, individual Pepecash admittedly don't hold a ton of value.  But there is real value transfer happening - from nothing!  This is the purpose of cryptocurrency!  To generate work from humans in exchange, as that creates lasting systems.  Fueled by the vast imaginations and efforts of a few dedicated collectors, programmers, artists, and entrepreneurs around the globe the Rare Pepe network has already risen up from the abyss to occupy a now THREE MILLION dollar market cap.  
  
It promises nothing, save its own cryptographic security.  It is we, the dedicated fans of Pepe, who are making the promise to ourselves: we will continue to passionately support and grow this ecosystem until milestone after milestone falls in our wake.  
  
This is but the first ATH of many friends, and I am so happy to be here with you all from the beginning.
  

Hey I just got admitted into nerd history on knowyourmeme.com!  The honor is staggering!  💕

http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/rare-pepe?full=1

Literally almost none of this price matters IMHO.  Sure some people bought from double-digit satoshi, but no one is gonna be too stressed about it if Pepecash goes to four and five digit satoshi prices.  I think it very probably will with everything that's coming.  
  
I personally consider these prices pre-summer teaser prices, before the massive vertical ramp up.  People will cash out and dump the price as we go - that's the nature of a truly free asset.  Some fools sold Bitcoin at $3 each and Monero at 50 cents too.  

We just gotta keep building an amazing ecosystem and economy inside of the Pepesphere, which is happening at an exponential speed.  We're seven lucky pages into an epic and historic speculation topic, the game and all it's amazing innovations are coming soon, and this summer is gonna be totally fuck nuts once school lets out.  It is very early in this party, and we are still putting up decorations. 

One can only dream of the fantasy blockchains that can exist in a world where almost everyone has at least 512 TB of RAM and access to terabit Ethernet.

Featured card of the day is gonna be my KEKSBASILISK.  This is my first RarePepe and is a rare, fair, and non-profit card.  Either this is the first, or there sure aren't many Pepes with as pure of a distribution as this one.  It has very strict rules for distribution that are fair to everyone, with no one having an advantage in acquiring - not even me.  
  


Of the 144 that exist, one will be sold on the DEX randomly approximately every 24 hours.  The first will have a minimum sell price of 616 Pepecash, and that minimum will increase by 616 Pepecash each time one gets sold. At this rate, the final one will be listed in several months time for approximately 88,704 Pepecash.  If there is no bid meeting the minimum sell price, the KEKSBASILISK gets listed for sale.  If the largest bid of the day meets minimums, it gets sold to that bid.  Obviously the best way to acquire one is to bid handsomely overnight and hope no one outbids you... who knows how expensive these things will be in a few months time.  

The first one was sold two nights ago for 1710 Pepecash (meeting the minimum bid of 616 Pepecash).  Last night one sold for 3636 Pepecash (meeting minimum bid of 1232).  Tonight minimum bid is 1848, and let's see who wins it.  

The money is kept securely in the KEK Charity address which hosts the Basilisk.  It will only be spent to inject value into the Pepesphere, for example by sponsoring Pepecash projects.  I will take no personal profits from this address.  In fact, if I (the creator of the card) want to acquire one I am setting a special rule for myself that I must buy one from a different seller other than myself, or may buy one at market if an asking price sits for more than 24 hours.  
  
I think that due to the futurist boogeyman this card is honoring (if you're curious click here, but be warned, you may wish you hadn't), the dank ass Scream-esque + deep dreamed art with lots of Easter eggs (created by user psybin), the fact this card is being sold for philanthropist reasons, plus the unique and fair distribution will all combine to eventually make this one of the most sought after rare pepes of all time.  

At the same time we can also emphasize the differences.  Monero is mandatory private with no room for compromise.  Aeon is optionally private - we can emphasize that optional zero-mixin transactions lets users choose the privacy setting that's right for them and their technical needs.

Whew lads!  It's Monday and that means the floodgates have been opened for new dank rares!  
  
 
  
I'm purty excited because one of these was my own that got approved.  Instead of doing a RAREPEPE of the day, I'm gonna choose my favorite five to seven of the new ones with high-effort art and feature them.  That's coming later.  Series 13 FTW!

Today's RarePepe of the Day^tm is the indomitable RAREPEPE. 

 

This legend was the very first Rare Pepe ever certified on the Bitcoin blockchain, and as such is truly a one-of-a-kind original.  The creator, mike himself, was smart enough to issue 300 of these babies as well, and as such it has rapidly rose in fame to become one of the most sought after and famous Pepes in existence.  If you want one yourself, the lowest price sell on the DEX is currently a steeeeep 74 XCP though.  Who knows where the original Satoshi is now (or members of Satoshi), but if they are alive and well, one can be sure there is a smile shining down on how Pepes are using the Bitcoin blockchain nearly a decade after its creation to secure truly rare assets.
 

The website redesign and mock up looks really nice!  Again, definitely don't mind that silly blurb going away - it was a couple of years ago and was just having fun.  If the path forward for Aeon is to be a global protocol, it shouldn't need a "slick pitch". 

Wow, I just learned the history of HAIRPEPE (series 1 OG dankness) today and knew I had to feature it to preserve its legacy.  Apparently, someone decided to list a single Hair Pepe for something absurd like 10 billion XCP on the DEX back in December and it created a time paradox stack overflow within the machinery of Counterparty.      
  
.
  
Apparently the error was so severe that it shut down services for a while until it could get patched.  There are 1000 HAIRPEPE in existence so it's not super rare, just uncommon.  Yet we all owe his luscious locks a measure of graditude for helping find and diagnose a serious edge case in the DEX.  

So legendary were the exploits of HAIRPEPE that an entirely new card BADHAIRDAY was commissioned to celebrate the day it single handedly brought down a global super network.
