Great News!

Electroneum Android app is in the Play Store!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.electroneum.app

You can download it now, if you have a Samsung or other Android device, and once you have any Electroneum coins from the ICO bounty or from buying coins during the ICO - they will arrive straight to your mobile wallet!

Once in your wallet you'll be able to send or receive to other Electroneum users or send them to any Exchange (once they come online) to trade out for other cryptocurrency.

We'll work hard to get listed on all the exchanges and Shapeshift as fast as we can after the ICO finishes.

The iOS iPhone app should be released later this week!

Mobile Mining for Electroneum

Step 1
People can get involved and purchase Electroneum with substantial bonus during ICO (14th Sept > 31st Oct)

Step 2
1st Nov onwards - Electroneum app will go VIRAL due to the mobile mining experience and our social media marketing / PR

Step 3
Users with taste for cryptocurrency will try our desktop mining software which mines more Electroneum

Step 4
A huge takeup of Electroneum would drive up the price on exchanges leading to a profit for those who sought to invest for a return

Step 5
We use the ICO raised funds to make the Electroneum App the "PayPal" of cryptocurrency, with the easiest payment system that any cryptocurrency has ever had! Driving price even higher.

Keep any eye on our Twitter feed for more updates!

Wow! It is huge! Very interesting update Richard!
Is it really possible to mine coins with mobile wallet?
Do anyone try it already?

To be fair, we are not the first - that accolade goes to Minergate who have a full miner for Android. They are the only other people I've seen attempt this. They don't have their own blockchain or cryptocurrency though and it runs your phone quite HOT! Our mining experience is super easy to do, no technical knowledge required. I'm also pretty sure that Minergate doesn't have any wallet facilities, so people need to be reasonably technical to use it. I don't want to take anything from them though - they were the first mobile miner - we've just made the whole thing slicker, easier and all wrapped up with our own blockchain.

Our miner is the only bit of Electroneum that is not decentralized I'm afraid! We've open sourced our Blockchain and Mining Pool to encourage peer to peer decentralization, but we are keeping the app's intellectual property to ourselves. The app will also only work with our pool I'm afraid.... BUT! It IS awesome.

We are going to get TONS of viral takeup of the app, just for the mining experience, and we all know on this forum what happens to people who start on the cryptocurrency journey.... they are hooked!

People who have never had access to cryptocurrency before will have some in their mobile wallet within a couple of hours of downloading a free app!

It's going to be GREAT for Electroneum, but it will also be GREAT for cryptocurrencies in general, as each new user of cryptocurrency will have to open an exchange account if they want to swap ETN for BTC or ETH (or USD!) Once they have an exchange account, they are far more likely to get involved in other currencies and be part of the community.

I have a really good feeling about the whole project! I had a GREAT meeting today with a major player in the tech world who is super connected, globally, and has nurtured more than 15 unicorns of the tech world (most of which you'd have heard of)! I don't want to name him without his permission, but if he does put his weight behind Electroneum it will be AWESOME! I'll keep everyone posted!

Have a great day everyone!

Richard.
