UPDATE: Electroneum will be back next week and possible partnerships by Jan 2018!

NiceHash got hacked and all of 60+ Million dollars lost. Those of us sharing our tiny (or large) pool of hash power were dismayed by this event.

Electroneum had taken a tough stance on privacy and got Hackerone team onboard to test their platform which has been going on for sometime now. They just announced, via email, few minutes ago that they are going to conclude the testing in a week or so and so far - Hackerone has not been able to compromise their system. That is good news!

Richard Ells also expressed potential partnership discussions being underway and hopes to disclose them once the system is up and running.

Below is the email that he sent to investors, in its entirety in italics (except footnotes).

I have some GREAT NEWS for everyone!

HackerOne are drawing to a close on their Private Challenge and not one bit of private data has been compromised or accessed by their team of awesome hackers!

They found a handful of little bugs, but did not gain access to private keys, wallets, user data or anything scary. That is a HUGE relief for all of us.

The HackerOne Challenge officially finishes on Monday and we are now rolling out the last of these little bug fixes and we will be launching (ahem!, cough! RE-launching) Electroneum by the middle of next week!

We have not been idle while HackerOne were busy, we've made improvements to the look, feel and functionality of the website wallet system (which will enable iPhone users to make transfers until the iOS app is launched) and the Android app, and we've been contacting hundreds of potential partners to ensure we have some joint ventures already negotiated for once we are up and running. Hopefully by the time we launch next week, we will have something signed and have our first public partnership(s) in place.

I'd like to thank everyone for their patience, after seeing NiceHash hacked for $64m USD just yesterday, I was glad we made the tough decision to engage HackerOne.

Have a great weekend everyone, we'll be working straight through to ensure everything goes according to plan THIS TIME!
