Hi STEEMIANS !
Let us review some of the awesome stuff that has happened over the last few weeks in case you've missed any of it (take a look at revamped website at http://electroneum.com for more details).
MOBILE INDUSTRY ADOPTION
As it was always the plan to get to large numbers of users and create the first cryptocurrency with mass adoption - and mass usage. Electroneum has been welcomed by The mobile network operators in a way that nobody could ever have dreamed of, and just a few short weeks after electroneum started seeking some strategic partnerships in the mobile industry, we have secured signed agreements with companies that would like to promote Electroneum to over 100m users! Electroneum is now in negotiation with partnerships to take this number to over 500m users!
The mobile industry literally LOVES what Electroneum is doing because not only are we bringing a digital payment solution to the developing world, where there are many hundreds of millions of people without a bank account (don't forget the android app is now in 20 languages!),
GSMA Membership
As a brand new and exciting part of the mobile industry fintech, we have become the first cryptocurrency in history to be welcomed as a member of the GSMA. This is a significant development in the corporate reach and appeal of Electroneum.
Mobile Electroneum Miner - nearly live...
Electroneum mobile miner has been tested by 10's of thousands of community beta testers. Some great news for those beta testers... The original plan was to "reset the clock" at the end of the beta testing and start all miners at zero, but all ETN that was mined by the betas will be paid out! The first payout round will be AFTER the full launch of the android miner, which we are aiming to get live for the MWC event (26th Feb).
Larger Cryptocurrency Exchange Listings
HitBTC (a top 6 global exchange) has agreed to list Electroneum and again, we are aiming to have that in place before MWC if we can. We also have another top 6 global exchange in the last stages of negotiation. It would be nice if we could get that live for MWC too, but I can't promise anything! We have a number of other exchanges outside of the top 10 that are about to list us, and it's worth remembering that as we show our user number growing, there will be many more of the top exchanges eager to list us.
A few stats…
I think it's worth noting that we have over 800,000 users now, nearly doubled from the end of our ICO, not bad, but you wait for that mobile miner to be live! We will get user numbers that even surprise us!
Electroneum has over 100k+ of twitter followers and 125k+ of Facebook follows, but the most shocking number is that more than ONE BILLION US DOLLARS worth of Electroneum has been traded around the globe! We've only been live three months!
Electroneum Price
For those of us who keep an eye on the price of Electroneum you'll notice that whilst it has taken a hit like most cryptocurrencies, it has been really interesting to watch the levels of trade.
When Electroneum was soaring in price the volume was high, $20m or $30m USD in a day was not unusual. If you take a look at the trade volumes now, you'll see they are very low in comparison. This is a great indicator (in my opinion) of the strength of the Electroneum project. For the most part, people that are involved have not dumped, but said "Hold on. Let's not forget that all those things that excite us about the project are nearly ready for launch. Lets wait and see if they really can be the first cryptocurrency that actually attains mass adoption, like they say they will.".
