What an exciting last few days. Electroneum ICO was supposed to end on October 31st, but since the 40 million hard cap is close to being reached the ICO will be ending earlier (I believe it is under 2 million USD to reach the hard cap).
These are the token sale stats so far, and they are incredible!

I can't wait to see how this coin will disrupt the cryptocurrency market! Looking forward to November 1st to download the Android app (I will be borrowing a tablet to investigate the app and play the game, while waiting for the iOS app, though I am not sure if it is available just for mobiles and not for tablets ... will check it out and try to update you). I am also looking forward to an update from the team to know how many languages has this been translated to so far. This will make a huge difference to attract the masses once the app is released.
If you want to still invest on this ICO, act fast! Their website is currently packed with visitors, and it is becoming harder and harder to purchase. Since there is no more bonus left, and if you would like to get an extra 1% bonus you can use my referral code: 5E52E7 (you can also click here: https://my.electroneum.com/join/5E52E7).
Please be aware of scammers. There are plenty out there. Before November 1st, only invest on Electroneum through their official website: http://electroneum.com . Starting November 1st, Electroneum will be available on some exchanges (not sure which ones yet, but I will make a post once I know ... but just to be safe, always check their official website, official social media (Twitter, Facebook), Telegram (Update: over 16,000 thousand users after I edited this post to include direct links!), and bitcointalk thread, as all the official info will most likely be there (probably faster than I write blog posts).
I have seen one user on bitcointalk (Murzibia) trying to sell Electroneum on a forknote site (this user was also complaining how he thought Electroneum was a scam, yet he is still trying to make a profit ... which in my book confirms he is dishonest and a scammer). Remember my blog post about how I was crypto currency scammed (Don't let that happen to you!)
What can you expect come November 1st? (this was from a message Richard Ells sent a few weeks ago (my thoughts are in a bullet below some points as I was having trouble changing the fonts ... can you do that here?))
- All purchased ETN from the ICO will arrive in your online wallet
• My ETN is currently on my registered account, but it will be nice to have an actual wallet with an address, were it will be safely with my referrals and bounty ETN. - You will have access to make transfers to other ETN addresses
• Awesome feature not needing exchanges or third party websites to transfer the same crypto currency, not that I have any plan to share at this stage ... I invested to hold! - We have one confirmed exchange on board and will be bringing more on as quickly as we can
• I've read somewhere the first one was Yobit, and that there are other confirmed exchanges, but don't take my word for that. - The mobile miner will go live - allowing mobile devices to earn coins
• Yes mobile miner! That means more ETN. Please note this will be the Android app. They still haven't confirmed when the iOS app will be released as the Apple store is slower to approve Apps ... with so many stupid Apps available I thought they approved everything, but my guess is that since this is an app that includes currency, it may take longer. - Our windows, Mac and Linux miners will be available from the first minute of 1st Nov UTC
• I probably won't be using a computer mining program since my computer is not very powerful anymore - have done a few upgrades myself, but not sure how much it can really take - but I might test it out. - Our mining pool will be live and visible, and documented, allowing people to connect
• This team continues to be open and honest, which is even more encouraging and what we need for this project to succeed. - We will release our mining pool code into our open source GitHub allowing other mining pools to set up in competition
- Our blockchain API integration software will go live allowing merchants to integrate into their apps and software products.
If you want to learn more about Electroneum, be sure to visit the company’s website: http://electroneum.com and read their whitepapers as there is a lot of detailed information on them. They have 2 WPs, one is the overview and the other one is the technical. Remember that investing on any ICO or crypto currency is risky (as is any type of investment), and there is no guarantee of returns, so never invest more than you could afford to lose.
Thanks to everyone who joined me in this crazy ICO ride. #MyFirstICO #ElectroneumICO
Cheers!

PS. Here is the official announcement regarding the hard cap and the message Richard Ells Sent:
Electroneum Token Sale Closing Early...
Hi Everyone!
We've nearly reached the $40m US dollars that we aimed to reach. We have raised $38m as of 16:00 BST. We have had over a quarter of a million users join the Electroneum Token Sale! It must be one of the largest tokens sales by user number in history - if not THE biggest. Bancor raised 140m+ on just 10,000 contributors. Tezos raised $240m on 22,000 contributors. We have more than 110,000 contributors who've made over 160,000 transactions from over 250,000 users who have registered on the token sale manager.
The Electroneum team have reconfirmed that there is going to be a hard cap at $40m US dollars.
Therefore the token sale will almost certainly be closing early, as soon as the value of the Bitcoin and Ethereum raised by the sale of Electroneum exceeds $40m US Dollars.
The rationale behind this decision is as follows
To prevent early access to Electroneum purchases. Electroneum has built an incredible momentum in the market. Clearly it is important this continues past the token sale, and into the exchanges upon listing. The management team believe this will pivot into further excitement for the app and for mass user adoption of Electroneum.
The exchanges are likely to list Electroneum quickly, due to pent up demand, which will equate to transactions and new users for the exchange(s) that list Electroneum.
It gives a clear signal to the market that the team are focused on the long term goals and success of Electroneum and not the proceeds of the token sale.
As soon as the $40m US goal is reached we will close the ability to make purchases via the Electroneum token sale manager and make an announcement on Telegram, Facebook, Twitter and the Electroneum website.
We will, of course, follow up with interviews and press releases to the financial and disruptive press.
We’d like to thank everybody who has contributed to the Electroneum Crowd Sale (token sale) and we look forward to moving on to phase 2 and the launch of the full app on November 1st 2017.
If you still want a chance to buy some Electroneum you have a very limited time left. Visit https://my.electroneum.com to make your purchase.
Remember that once we get Electroneum listed on Exchanges, you will be able to make purchases there. Electroneum Ltd will never sell Electroneum coins again once we reach our hard cap goal. The entire market will consist of trading with existing Electroneum owners.
Our Telegram group is now over 14800 members, again one of the biggest (if not the biggest) in token sale history! If you are not already our Telegram group chat - install the free Telegram app on your phone and join the Electroneum group - you'll find a likeminded audience of literally thousands of friendly, helpful, Electroneum fans, eager to help and chat about cryptocurrencies, life, the universe and EVERYTHING!
Have great day everyone!

PS - Please remember buying into a cryptocurrency is not a guarantee of returns. My own opinions of where we can take Electroneum could be wrong. You should not purchase more than you could afford to lose. We have a working product and are raising money to market this to a huge audience. Please ensure you do your due diligence, check out me and the team, what we've done before and who's behind the project, and only purchase ETN if you are comfortable with the risk.
