Electroneum (ETN) seems to have rubbed its eyes, stumbled out of bed and is now looking around for its socks. Several pieces of positive news are testament to this bold assertion:
1 - mobile miner payouts are definitely getting caught up - mine completed today after 10 days or so, and I see comments on Reddit and Twitter that others have seen this for several days now.
2 - the mobile miner has been updated (to version 2.4.2) and now gives more details on transactions
3 - ETN prices are finally rising, after going sideways for several weeks - probably partly due to the KuCoin exchange freezing ETN transactions thus making it difficult for ASIC miners to dump large volumes of coins.
4 - speaking of which, we also got more details about the ASIC-resistant Electroneum fork coming May 30.
