I love monero, and it is presently up like 5x over the last two weeks. Aeon is the only legit Monero fork, has an arguably better brand/identity and is managed by a core Monero dev. It's also supposedly being optimized for mobile although I'm fuzzy on how that will work. It's a bit over $1 right now. It has the same 18mm cap as XMR. Monero is mooning because of hard tech and privacy. Forking it is challenging and it doesn't have a user friendly light wallet. I think Aeon has a bright future if it stays on it's current path.
