Electroneum Blockchain Upgrade Update

Tech Update

The tech team have calculated that 5th June we should see transactions restored on our blockchain and profitability return for GPU miners – which should restore blockchain functionality.

All the new blockchain enhancements will go live with the return of full functionality.

Estimated Block Difficulty:
307575:180,270,746,500
307576:82,493,331,117
307577:24,072,409,453
307578:19,709,104,316

Thank you for your patience during this blockchain upgrade, which was required to ensure it can cope with the much higher transactional volumes that we’ve experienced and predicted for the future.

ETN’s Network Upgrade Urgent News

Mining Pool Owners & GPU Miners – We need YOUR help!

Earn extra ETN reward over the next 26 blocks!

The Electroneum blockchain forked at block 307500 today. As you are aware, the time it takes to mine blocks should be approximately every 2 minutes. Due to the extremely high difficulty caused by previously having ASICs on the network, blocks are taking substantially longer than usual (hours rather than minutes) while the network adjusts.

Firstly, we want to thank the community, our miners and the mining pools in continuing to support the network while we get through these difficult blocks.

However, we are not happy with the low returns our miners are receiving right now, so as a gesture to thank everyone who continues to support us, we will be supplementing the next 26 block rewards by with an ETN bonus (see below). This offer will run for blocks 307501 – 307527.

Mined under an hour 200,000 ETN bonus
1 – 2 hours 150,000 ETN bonus
2 – 3 hours 100,000 ETN bonus
3 – 4 hours 50,000 ETN bonus

So how will this work? After each block is mined, the pool which successfully receives the block reward should contact the team by opening a support ticket (support.electroneum.com) with subject “BLOCK REWARD”. They MUST include the public key (ETN wallet address) and view key of the address which successfully mined the block so that we can verify they are indeed the owners. We will check the block time of each mined block and send out the appropriate amount to the public key provided.

Can you please contact your users to let them know it’s well worth their while getting back online, and let your users know how to change the algorithm on their software to mine with MoneroV7 or Cryptonight_V7
