Have all of you read Rich Ells last update?
Ive been on holiday.
It is so refreshing to see such a well rounded community.
Even though I promised my better half that I would "put away my stupid coins" over the holiday (she cant seem to understand that the reason we have the extra money to do and have nice things, are these stupid coins, but god bless her lol, she makes up for it in spades in other areas
)
I have still checked in from time to time, and took a quick peek to see how things were.
I was, as always, extremely impressed with the community as a whole. Thanks to all of you not scared to step up to those a bit too negative, or flat out trolls. Thanks also to those keeping a lid on those screaming, "$1000 ETN" "LAMBO" "50x by tomorrow" "confirmed" LOL!!
Lets continue to keep the community balanced, and help out our newbies as much as possible!!!
Keep up the great work!!

Happy New Year contraband! Yes the community for ETN is huge not just on BTC Talk but Facebook/Twitter and most of the usual social media. There is huge support for this coin and its regularly been a top 5 traded coin by volume on Cryptopia so the signs are there. I think most people forget it's a very new coin in the early stages but has a great team of people working on it so the sky is the limit really for the potential.
Looking forward to mobile miner release although the difficulty has gone through the roof so not sure what value that will have now. Can only wait and see I guess but looking forward for ETN going to the moon as they say haha
Yes, the support for ETN is immense. Amazing for where we are on the timeline.
With much more exciting news around the corner, its surprizing that the partnership news hasnt even sunk in yet. Thats why in my last post I asked if everyone has read the announcement.
2 confirmed mobile carriers, and in talks with around a dozen more!!! How this doesnt have the community doing backflips is beyond me. This news is beyond a big deal. Its revolutionary!!
Ive asked the Devs to explain in more detail how exactly these partnerships will work, and what they will look like, and that is also coming soon.
To be clear, 2 are signed and done, for those of you that havent heard the news. They are the ones who want to see the mobile miner go through beta testing and we will have members of the community helping out with that.
Ive highlighted above the question regarding how the difficulty will affect those that choose to mine more coins via the Mobile Mining Experience.
When you mine ETN on your phone, you are not powering the blockchain and solving blocks. This is a completely separate centralized process. The difficulty will have no effect on this.
The things that decide who mines more coins than others is how much processing power is available each time the system checks your phone.
The system checks your phone, using about as much processing power as loading a wiki page. Then, based on the processing power available, it rewards you with ETN. So, a brand new, top of the line phone, that is already currently running almost at capacity using a boatload of apps at once, will earns less coins than a phone thats a bit older, lacking the latest increased specs, that has no apps running at all.
So again, the difficulty for the regular miners does not affect the mobile miners.
