214,241 Registered Users? What you mean? 214k participants in your crowdsale? or registered where?
Not sure but i think it's registered users not participants. But at this hype, pretty soon this registered users can become a participants.
Where "registered" ? I cant believe, that they have so many participants. Its impossible!
I mean registered users at electroneum website.
Perhaps many of them have registered just out of curiosity. But it can also be like a marketing/cheating or something similar

I'm a bit skeptical to, I mean, this Annoucement Thread has 73k views and if I'm not wrong a sinlge person can produce multiple views by viewing the thread several times a day. Even with all the marketing done most people in crypto world goes to the respective project Ann before making any investment decision.
And if you take Deeponion has an example, its one of the projects with the most viewed and commented Ann thread (787k views) and totals near 4k members in it's website.
But hey, if those numbers are correct it's pretty impressive.
That is exactly the problem...the crypto world. That world is extremely small and the vast majority of people don't even know what crypto is. Just because we know what bitcointalk is and how to mine and trade etc does not mean everybody does. This project has somehow gone viral, it is everywhere. Facebook, google ads you name it. It is drawing the attention of people outside the crypto world, that is pretty much what Electroneum is all about though. Getting crypto into the mainstream, not just for the few. I think bitcoin only has a few million users lol. That is nothing to be honest, if this idea works then it could be a game changer, that is a pretty big if though.
