All 808646 registered users (as claimed on the updated website) should've received an e-mail today with some interesting news about our "precious thingy" - ETN.
News are long-awaited (at least by me =))
I'll post here the quotes of the most interesting parts of that e-mail on my opinion
1
The mobile industry literally LOVES what Electroneum is doing because not only are we bringing a digital payment solution to the developing world, where there are many hundreds of millions of people without a bank account (don't forget the android app is now in 20 languages!), but we are also giving the users a little Electroneum every month, with a real world value.
2
...and once our PayPal™ style vendor software is finished (which will allow the easy integration of ETN acceptance) we expect to see significant adoption in both the developed and less developed nations.
3
...the full launch of the android miner, which we are aiming to get live for the MWC event (26th Feb).
4 (this part is hated by greedy inner me, but oh well...)
The original plan was to "reset the clock" at the end of the beta testing and start all miners at zero, but we feel that anyone who has taken the time to help us should have at least a small reward, and so we will pay out the ETN that has been mined by our betas!

HitBTC (a top 6 global exchange) has agreed to list Electroneum and again, we are aiming to have that in place before MWC if we can. We also have another top 6 global exchange in the last stages of negotiation. It would be nice if we could get that live for MWC too, but I can't promise anything! We have a number of other exchanges outside of the top 10 that are about to list us, and it's worth remembering that as we show our user number growing, there will be many more of the top exchanges eager to list us.
Summing up
- 26th Feb is The Day, so buy ETN before that if you're planning to.
- ETN will definitely go up (x3 ? x10? who knows?) after so-called mobile miner goes live.
- exchanges will increase ETN price as well, once it's listed.
- probably good timing will be like this: buy BTC 10-14th Feb (it will go down a bit, hopefully, till 7500-7000) and buy ETN with it before 24th Feb (when all the people start to buy it)
As always, I don't call you to buy ETN if you have no idea what all this stuff means. All the text above - solely my useless and stupid opinion based on my collective schizophrenic board of directors own research.
And use your own brain, please =)

I probably won't buy any more ETN, but I'll HODL what I have and keep my fingers crossed. I received that email today, too, but to me it sounded more like hopes and dreams rather than anything solid. We'll see though.
there are lots of videos of the mobile mining running. And it's not really hard to make (well, at least, I've found few similar apps, with even greater functionality for 500$ =) )
