You can't compare a project that is years old (XVG) to one that only launched a few months back. What/where are these shining examples of a big high potential crypto that are moving so fast compared to ETN then? With a few exceptions, barely any of the top coins out there have secured partnerships or potential huge partnerships.....let alone have future plans as exciting as Electroneum have They already gave the reason for the delay in mining and it is more than reasonable. Beta testing is the best way to go and the only way to appease the partners. I want to see slow and steady progress and a natural rise in value going forward. Not a sudden explosion of news and price then a massive correction, we don't need another pump & dump coin. This is supposed to be the start of a project spanning years, not months. There are plenty of coins out there that will make you a fast buck before sinking into obscurity if you want that.

Saying that, they do need to make some improvements ASAP when it comes to wallet performance, outstanding bounty payments, locked accounts and such like. They will be working on that for sure but they should not dither with the fundamentals.
