You can find it on the Electroneum Github as a folder that you can copy to your wp-content/plugins directory. Then you'll see it in the list of plugins in your wordpress dashboard where you can activate it.

But it is still in beta. Has been for ages!

They strongly urge you against deploying it in a live environment, because it may still contain errors that could end up with the customer either losing their ETN or having a bad customer experience, and leaving you to do lots of customer service and patch the bruises.

This guy has implemented it for testing purposes, so you can test it out there in beta format (https://electroneum.academy/index.php/shop/).

I think there are two ways in which this plugin can work, and you can configure which option you want to use in the settings. One is that you run a fully synced node on your web server that can track incoming payments to your wallet. Quite advanced stuff, and will probably require a dedicated server on your part.

The other involves using the API of blockexplorer.electroneum.com to check if the payment has gone through. The payments page then just refreshes indefinitely until the software detects a payment, and this can take hours when the blockchain is really congested (https://electroneum101.com/statistics/mempool-size.php), leaving the customer frustrated.

So neither of these are truly user friendly for either the user or website owner.

I've been aching to start accepting ETN on my website, too, but I'd rather wait for their instant payment system that should launch sometime after 8 June, if I'm understanding things correctly. That way your plugin can get instant notifications that the funds have been reserved and are on their way to you, and you can let the customer have his/her product. Much better user experience, and a lot less customer service!

They just posted this update on Facebook regarding the May 30th network upgrade:

"Critical update regarding the Electroneum Network Upgrade-

Hi all, we have important community news; our v2.0 network upgrade is planned for 30th May 2018 (block height 307,500). The estimated time of upgrade will be 09:30 UTC. To enable you to continue trading mining Electroneum it is critical that you update your Electroneum nodes/wallets in advance of the planned network upgrade.
The latest date you should update by is 29th May, however we suggest that you SWITCH NOW as a matter of urgency.
Please do see fit to share this information as much as possible to ensure a smooth transition that will bring about numerous positive changes for the community! The full information on how to update your nodes are clearly outlined here on the blog: https://electroneum.com/2018/05/17/critical-electroneum-network-upgrade/"

EDIT: Just in case, this is the full content of the blog entry:

"CRITICAL – Electroneum Network Upgrade

As you may be aware our v2.0 network upgrade is planned for 30th May 2018 (block height 307,500). The estimated time of upgrade will be 09:30 UTC. To enable you to continue trading mining Electroneum it is critical that you update your Electroneum nodes and wallet software in advance of the planned network upgrade. The latest date you should update by is 29th May, however we suggest that you SWITCH NOW as a matter of urgency. All transactions created with the latest RPC and CLI wallets will be accepted after the upgrade block, however if you have any transactions in the mempool that were generated with old versions of the CLI or RPC they will fail and be returned to sender.

Upgrade Overview

This major release is aimed at increasing transaction speed and minimising transaction size, in preparation for mass adoption and an exponential increase in global transactional volume.

Anti- ASIC

Implementation of ASIC resistance.

Transfer Fee Increase

We have increased our base fee from 0.01 ETN to 0.1 ETN.

Reduced Privacy

Disabling RingCT & Mixin privacy features means we can fit significantly more transactions into each block than with them enabled. This means less wait to get a transaction into a block and a leaner blockchain size. Wallets are still private as we will continue to use a new stealth wallet address for every blockchain transaction so there is still significantly more privacy than with Bitcoin or Ethereum, but considerably less privacy than with a privacy focused coin like Monero.

Mempool life to 3 days

During times of high transactional volumes you will now have 3 days for the transaction to complete rather than the current 24 hours period.

2 minute blocks

We are moving from one to two minute blocks which will significantly decrease the chance of an orphan block being created.

Block Reward

We are doubling the block reward to ensure that the daily ETN block reward is unaffected.

Reduce difficulty window

We are reducing the difficulty window to check every 360 blocks to adjust the difficulty every 12 hours (in line with current adjustment period).

 

What happens if I don’t update my nodes?

 Failure to update your nodes in advance of the upgrade on May 30th will result in the following:

You will no longer be able to trade Electroneum

You would still be getting valid looking transaction hashes but they would be FALSE
You will have to resynchronise your blockchain data after implementing the correct daemon
Any deposits made on after the network upgrade will not be visible to you
Any withdrawals on after the network upgrade will not be visible to the end customer
Ultimately this will result in a huge amount of additional administration to resolve the above deposit and withdrawal failures
 

Ways to update your nodes

Method One – Compile from source code

Using our GitHub page (link below). Once compiled override the old binaries with the new ones.

https://github.com/electroneum/electroneum/tree/v2.0.0.0

Method Two – Download binaries

From our GitHub release page (link below). Once downloaded you need to check the ‘checksum’ on the zip files to confirm that they are the official versions. Unzip the new binaries over the old ones.

https://github.com/electroneum/electroneum/releases/tag/v2.0.0.0

Checking you’re up to date

Once completed restart and check that you are running the correct version of the daemon and wallet software using this command:

Linux Mac
./electroneumd –version
./electroneum-wallet-cli –version
./electroneum-wallet-rpc –version –rpc-bind-port 12345

Windows
electroneumd.exe –version
electroneum-wallet-cli.exe –version
electroneum-wallet-rpc.exe –version –rpc-bind-port 12345

These commands should output the following:

Electroneum ‘May 2018’ (v2.0.0.0-31f729a)

Thank you for your continued support for the Electroneum project.

The Electroneum Team"

That's great news for ETN! Only 2 weeks before the fork  .

Definitely good news, hopefully the fork will be the catalyst that kicks ETN back into action. Good to see progress being made and not just by the Electroneum team, never even heard of that exchange but fair play to them for reacting so quickly. ETN is and always has been a long-term project and hopefully good things will come later this year. It is my most promising investment.

136K active miners the snowball is building!!!!!!!

I have done a bit of reading and still cant exactly work out what algorithm Electronuem is switching to at the end of the month?

Its not Cryptonight V7 so what is it and what mining software will support it?

                                         
I just hope the mining software is available for everyone

The actual marketing campaign has yet to begin, and the Dev Richard Ells is a viral marketing expert, and is the founder and CEO of Retortal, a marketing company he started many years ago with international companies that are household names as clients. Highly respected in his field, he has now hired a top tier promotional company, because hes doing a good job at understanding what hat hes wearing.


Anyone familiar with the project, thats been paying attention, has seen that the biggest concern was the fact that he comes from a leading marketing company, and he and his team werent tech savvy enough, which was groundless.


MARKETING

Rich hired a high profile promotional company, and people whine asking why. So trolls have been poking fun, saying that if he was supposed to be this marketing genius, then why did he need to hire a marketing company? This is because he IS a marketing genius, and he understands that it doesnt matter how impressive the platform is if the message fails to spread around the globe effectively. Only a fool would think this could be done alone.


TECH

The favorite false narrative seems to be implying that choosing employees from his marketing firm (btw one of their main products is software they built from scratch) to do research, code, etc. was a bad idea because they lack of talent in this area. What many dont know is that this has been PROVEN not to be the case. See below


At the time of the release of the coins purchased in the Tokensale, a botnet with millions of hijacked computers attacked the ETN website that was sending the coins to the buyers. Not a single coin was lost. Then Rich had them fortify the system even further until they felt it could withstand anything. Then Rich hired one of the best internet security firms in the world called Hackerone [US DoD, Starbucks, Uber, Spotify, Coinbase, Blockchain.info, etc].

The firm challenges the best hackers on the planet to try to find a way to beat the system. After three weeks with zero intrusions, and a few suggestions on how to make the system even stronger were implemented, the system was put back online.

There have still been high profile attacks but everyone have received their ICO coins without incident.

Another issue is there have been hiccups due to the system being flooded with fake transactions, that the attackers are paying a ton of money to make, but one by one the issues continue to be dealt with as we continue to move forward. After all of this Rich has been assembling a team of high profile tech experts with a laundry list of the whos who of companies in the tech industry on their resumes.


INSTANT TRANSACTIONS

As the FUD continues, that the ETN team is just filled with a bunch of *glorified salesman* that are in, the most popular term, "way over their heads" lol, these guys sure must be some *slick talkers* lmfao, because somehow   [**gotta note the sarcasm**
 as Im sure to be quoted out of context again**]  they have created Instant Transaction Technology that they have a patent pending for now. In short, it is able to "lock" the funds instantly as soon as the coins have been sent by the user, so that they cant be spent again, while the blockchain "catches up" and the actual confirmations on the blockchain take place. Does that sound like a bunch of green blockchain tech noobs to you?



SO WHY DOES THE PERCEPTION/RUMOR THAT THE ETN TEAM HAVE A LACK OF KNOWLEDGE IN BLOCKCHIAN TECH CONTINUE TO BE CIRCULATED?

Because it takes more than a few words to prove and explain, and people call any detailed explanation a "o wall of text" he he ha ha, not funny IMO.

So what happens?

A.  People are just lazy and would rather go with the quick one line opinion of some idiot who hasnt read up on the subject either

B.  They are purposefully spreading FUD because they are paid to do so by a competitor.

C.  They own coins in a competing project, and they believe their FUD is strong enough to actually lower the price.  



KNOWLEDGE IS POWER, AND IN THIS CASE, PROFITABLE BECAUSE ETN SITS UNDER 3 CENTS RIGHT NOW.

the price of electroneum is still very far from our expectation

Price is the lowest it's been since ICO and holding steady so far. This project is far from dead and has a lot of good things planned for the future.
