Discussion on discord:
rrrrr does anyone believe aeon dynamic block size limit will make blockchain grow too quickly ? if the network ever hits exponential growth, blockchain size will outpace mobile phone storage growth
<bigslim[m]> Don’t need to worry about mobile storage if everyone transacting on a mobile device uses a remote node... <bigslim[m]> Insert cakewallet here
rrrrr01/12/2021 I thought the idea was to have nodes running on the phones That was my understanding of mobile friendly
irc.freenode.net#aeon BOT 01/12/2021 <bigslim[m]> Yes but it’s highly doubtful a majority of people would do that. A remote node is 90% easier and people feed off of easy. <bigslim[m]> Especially if you run your own node at home and can use your IP for the remote node <bigslim[m]> IMO that’s the best way to do it
rrrrr01/12/2021 I wish the focus was still to make that a possibility. If few will run nodes on their phone then most will use another crypto anyways. This is what will make aeon unique. People can live freely entirely from their phone. Take the blockchain wherever they go.
camthegeek01/12/2021 data caps on mobile suck.
rrrrr01/12/2021 Yup but think of the possibilities... That is the true spirit of crypto to run your node and participate in the network.
irc.freenode.net#aeon BOT 01/12/2021 <bigslim[m]> I think a majority of people do not want to run a node on their phone today <bigslim[m]> That may have been the case in 2014/15
camthegeek01/12/2021 sure it is. major cellular service providers typically limit lines to specific amounts of data per month. so that aeon node you run, it was 4gb to fully synchronize.. then you end up sharing the data with hundreds of others each month.. costing you maybe anywhere between 500mb to 8gb of data.. and if you're capped at 5gb, you're screwed on the first month. you could disable the p2p piece where you let others download from you and it saves you.. but then you're not entirely participating like you should be lol My statements are purely based on my experience with cellular providers here in the states and the small caps we have. oh these guys have swapped to this unlimited bs.. fast unlimted data until a certain point and then it runs like dog shit afterwards :smile:
irc.freenode.net#aeon BOT 01/12/2021 <bigslim[m]> It’s like 5gb at 4g then everything after at 3g on a good day camthegeek01/12/2021 I guess. I swapped to a prepaid option years ago that has plenty of data. wireless plans always gave me a headache. additionally, I have no desire to run a node on my phone rather just open a wallet, it sync's and I spend.
rrrrr01/12/2021 I see
rrrrr01/12/2021 So what is the deal with the mobile freindlyness? I realize your two opinions don't represent the entire AEON community but, if we are just going to connect a to remote node, why not use monero or bitcoin?
irc.freenode.net#aeon BOT 01/12/2021 <bigslim[m]> That’s the million dollar question <bigslim[m]> If I were someone wanting to send large amounts of illegal monies from something I would not use monero as an exit course. I would use one of the 265 CN fork coins exiting to fiat to fund activities. Hence the need for CN coins other than monero. <bigslim[m]> But that’s thinking in the mindset of the government <bigslim[m]> Rambling on more...
rrrrr01/12/2021 Haha
irc.freenode.net#aeon BOT 01/12/2021 <bigslim[m]> If you were to poll 100 random people about using crypto and if they would rather open a mobile wallet and send money now, or open a mobile wallet and send money in 20-30min, by bet is on the open wallet and send money now choice. <bigslim[m]> Without running a node 24/7 it’s pretty much not possible to use a mobile daemon and option 1 <bigslim[m]> Maybe in 10 years with 100x more compute power in a cellphone it would be possible <bigslim[m]> But then you have the issue cam described with data usage and also batter consumption. A mobile wallet with remote note just fixes all those issues and is probably why very few crypto projects have pursued that <bigslim[m]> But then you have the issue cam described with data usage and also battery consumption.

Iirc monero was looking at this with tarai? <bigslim[m]> However for a true trustless, permission-less transaction one fully needs a full node and wallet on the device they are transacting on. My workaround is running a full node at home and connecting wirelessly via mobile app that way I am trusting myself when making a transaction, not a third party.
rrrrr01/12/2021 Totally agree. Maybe we are not giving Aeon the right brand then. Maybe instead of advertising as mobile friendly, which sounds hip but just doesn't really make sense, we should stick to stable secure codebase merging from experimental monero + communirty driven + fair launch.. I don't really see how this mobile friendly trend can take off for aeon. Plus "Aeon" and stability/secure sounds like a nice name as is Aeon for ages.
irc.freenode.net#aeon BOT 01/12/2021 <bigslim[m]> Almost all crypto is “secure”. Most are stable <bigslim[m]> In the end, aeon is more mobile friendly than any other crypto sans not having an iOS wallet. <bigslim[m]> It’s also very cheap to support with any exchange/vendor/marketer <bigslim[m]> Plus it’s a legitimate fallback to monero
Other discussion
rrrrr01/13/2021 Hello I am proposing a new more stable website that better expresses Aeon. The bombastic sales pitch has got to go. https://aeon-crypto.org/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Aeon/comments/kwkhx3/greetings_all_i_am_proposing_a_new_replacement/ reddit r/Aeon - Greetings all, I am proposing a new replacement page for a... 3 votes and 4 comments so far on Reddit

@aeon1234 Do you see this as having any potential or is just a total failure? Perhaps some changes can be made.. It is far easier to build up from a blank slate than to patch up a broken website.

what part of the website is broken though?
There is #106 #107 #108 to begin. I can name quite a few other design things such as bad color matching with logo, blur.png, and background-color: #08b4da
on differences section , mismatched fonts <span class="fa fa-windows"> Windows, 64-bit</span>
the ugly mcdonalds themed header. The structure of the website is simply poorly designed. The code is poorly written: Everything including all translations are in one giant file config.yml. The website is terrible believe me. If that is ok with everyone, it is ok with me as well. but believe me this website needs a lot of work. @BigslimVdub we need you on the frontlines you are the master of PR.
Here are 3 websites I see as model https://atom.io/ https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/ https://www.audacityteam.org/
What is common between these three and different from aeon.cash?

some parts of the code may be a bit messy at the moment and that's why I too would have preferred to start from scratch. but it's nothing that can't be fixed and I also think that a gradual change is better.

all bullet points can be solved by anyone via PR. i will create a PR tomorrow with the last bullet point (multi-page layout).
Awesome I am excited to review.
I don’t like this change. The current website works fine.
Nice, thanks for sharing. Anything you don't like in particular? Have you tried to have an open mind? It was designed with these goals in mind
“Have you tried to have an open mind?”
Personal attacks. Nice.
Sorry, it is an honest question not an attack. Seems your comment only says the website is fine but not why it is fine or why it shouldn't change. It would be interesting to hear your perspective on this. Is there something you don't like about the pull request?
the PR only overwrites the readme file and replaces it with a note to your website. i don't quite know what the purpose of this is. it doesn't look like an improvement to me.
about your website i can only say that i like the design even less than the current one (edit: the design seems to have changed a bit in the last few days, but I would still prefer not to throw away the current content). i like parts of your content, but you could just embed them here via PR?
and in my opinion nothing is gained by switching from one github account to another. smooth may be a bit taciturn and sometimes long winded, but there have never been any problems (as far as i know). he's around in cryptospace for just under 10 years, that's a long time. on top of that this can lead to a split in the community which we should rather avoid.
i hope that wasn't offensive or anything. i really like your energy and i really hope you stay with the community for a long time :)

This has nothing to do with smooth or switching accounts, it is just a pr to replace the files here with the ones in aeon-crypto. The PR is just symbolic because bigslim said he wanted to see a PR. I have no problems with smooth, they are doing well as maintainer I hope they will continue. I would not have started to work on AEON if I did not already believe in smooth's decision making.
Finally, I have no intention of any community "hard-fork" and I understand that nothing is going to happen here.. but it is good to see some productive discussion such as multi-page layout and other ideas.
Thanks for the nice compliment as well, I enjoy working on aeon and meeting new people like you and big slim online. I admire the careful work that stoffu and smooth have put into aeon. I have studied many coins and I truly believe that aeon is the most ideal cryptocurrency. My day job is also quite boring and my boss doesn't like when I work, very strange.. So I hope one day I have enough money to quit so that I can study the c++ source code.. a language I have never studied and seems quite complex but cannot be impossible.
The PR is just symbolic because bigslim said he wanted to see a PR.
oh, i wasn't aware of that. that would have saved me some confusion.
so that I can study the c++ source code
just start if you have time on work :)

Edit: to clear confusion: this is to represent a "rebase" request I guess for this repository to use the above repository as the aeon.cash website. I am not sure how to make such a request so here I am submitting it.
