Electroneum Update
Electroneum Update
Hi everyone!
A quick update before next week - which will be a very important week for Electroneum!
We have been working extremely hard to ensure we are ready for our week at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona!
10 of the Electroneum staff are flying out over various days, we've had a few pics of our humble exhibition stand come back to us (see our Facebook page).
The Electroneum stand is relatively small compared to some of the giant brands that are there, but it's near an entrance so it should be a good spot, and the most important part is probably the networking. We thought we should get a presence there as the first cryptocurrency to be a GSMA member, who knows who we will meet and what deals we can germinate from here?! We've seen a HUGE interest from this sector so far.
I have a number of interviews lined up (including the BBC) and some great meetings scheduled with C level executives at companies that we are seeking strategic partnerships with.
Exciting News
We have some GREAT news for everyone - the (long awaited) mobile miner for Android phones will be launched this week during the Mobile World Congress. We now also HAVE a solution for iOS (iPhones) and HOPE to have that available to install this week too!! That will mean ALL Electroneum iOS users will soon be able to install the app, and even though it will be in beta (a test mode) it will allow full functionality, including allowing them to mine ETN and keep their earnings.
REALLY Exciting News...
We are also releasing some really exciting news during (or potentially just after) the show which I would LOVE to hint about here, but my lips are sealed until I get a sign-off from Dentons, the 6th or 7th largest law firm in the world. We've been working on something top secret with them for a couple of months that should be ready to announce this week!! Keep an eye on social media!
Exchanges
Our tech team are working closely with KuCoin to get that live as soon as possible (fingers crossed for this week!) and HitBTC just reconfirmed that we are still in the queue and due to be added (again, fingers crossed) during March. Cryptopia are currently experiencing some difficulties and we've reached out to them and will help in any way we can, if they get in touch with our team.
Don't forget that Qryptos exchange is live and you can trade ETN there. They are an excellent up and coming exchange and we see a bright future ahead of them. They have a great team!
It has always been my opinion that once we start gaining large user numbers the larger exchanges will be more interested in us, they make their money from users trading and I think we can introduce millions of new users. Most of our partners have been waiting for the launch of the mobile miner before they promote us to their users and once that is live this week, we will start seeing some of them introduce their users to the Electroneum mining app, which in turn, should drive our user number forward. I know some people have been worried about exchange listings, but I am very confident we will be listing on more and more as the year progresses and we start achieving our goals.
We will posting updates throughout the week from the show, but it will be a very big week for Electroneum.
New Deals
We just signed another two agreements, one with a company that has access to a further 30m users, who are keen to recommend our app, and one with a payment integration company to help us integrate with the mobile operators, allowing their users to purchase airtime and data with ETN. We'll get the full details out as soon as we can after the show!
As always, I'd like to send the entire team's heartfelt thanks to everyone in the Electroneum community who are always there to support us and make the hard work worthwhile.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and have a wonderful week,
All the best,
Richard Ells
Founder of Electroneum.
