nice comment in FB etn page, nothing to add:

Centralizing the ETN blockchain with a small amount of selected (unknown and mysterious) nodes with the purpose to prevent a 51% attack is nothing else than a 100% attack of the founders, you yourselves. It would be the same as replacing the blockchain with a centralized database, under your control, holding all the wallets of the investors, as one big spreadsheet. This is a huge throw back to 1990. But yes, it now takes you only about $1 a day for electricity.I think you missed the point here of what blockchain cryptocurrency is about. But knowing that ETN is a fork of Monero (which had to apply huge security changes over the last months), I suspect applying these same changes were way too challenging, resulting in this smart marketing solution (Proof of Responsibility, lol), satisfying the ignorant believers. I even doubt if it is legal as you changed all the fundamentals of the product to which people signed up (and paid) for in the ICO. Happy I sold my ETN a while ago. You had a great opportunity late 2017 but you missed the momentum. Good luck anyways
