Electroneum announced two days ago that they are removing the official pools. They claim to be phasing them out in favor of community pools, and to lower overhead cost and the time it takes their devs to manage said pools.
I personally think this is a good thing. The official pools have a very low hashrate with a high fee. They also managed to fork one of their own pools at one point. So clearly they have not been so competent in the pool department over there.
The price of ETN maintained around 15 cents USD at the time of the announcement, and now several days later.
In other ETN news Cryptopia opened up registrations again. They recently closed down new user registrations and at one point shut down all trading because they were experiencing issues. Cryptopia is far from anyones ideal exchange, and if ETN hopes to ultimately be successful they need to prioritize getting on some of the main exchanges.
Electroneum also announced this week that they hired the CEO of titanium, Michael Stollaire, as their Technical Advisor. I am not sure where I am on this, but if the guy knows what he is doing it could be a good thing going forward.
Still no news on the mobile miner beta program. I did sign up, but have not heard anything from ETN.
I have started dabbling in other coins and platforms again. So I may start expanding my posts to include information about my other adventures in crypto soon.
