Hi Matthias,
I was wondering if you could relay a message to the Electroneum team. I noticed in their marketing effort in the $10M-$20M funds raised range, they are looking to have global celebrities endorse the currency.
My thought is - this sounds cheap. Why not have a global brand endorse our currency? Don't waste money on a celebrity. Celebrities bring little credibility as to the viability of a product, instead, they are more of an eye catcher - good for selling movies and modeling clothes, but definitely not for a potentially world changing currency.
Let's keep the image professional and directed toward a mission rather than an image of a pop culture. Please?
Thank you.

How do I get an offline wallet? I just bought into Electroneum & I see my ETN coins on my dashboard. So where do I send them now? The offline wallet can be downloaded from my.electroneum.com and it goes live around 1st of November; at that time you can send your ETN as well. Atm the funds are secure on the dashboard. See the FAQ

@ Mathias Hansen: Do you work for Electroneum or are part of their team somehow? You seem you are VERY engaged on the FAQ... so i have a few questions that i dont get a reply from support! I contacted them via this page also in PM but the person who replied did not answer the question.. instead said that their business hours are from Monday to Friday.... so it is odd because that person could had chosen to just answer the question! I am concerned because i never received an email from ETN site confirming that i created an account... so considering that that account is also a wallet and from where i will invest on ETN, it is relevant to me to have at least an email confirmation that i own that account.. as some sort of proof that that account is mine and of my investment on it! There is no way to prove that i own the account and no email confirmation. For a team that seem to have done a massive work on details i find that odd that they forgot about that? Or.. did they do it in purpose? I am thinking since they already collected so many millions that they can have a person designated to answer such important questions 24/7.. the same way the ICO is running 24/7... dont you agree?

New to this, so bare with me If I make a paper wallet and transfer all of my funds to it (on 1st Nov), do I then scan the private QR code of the paper wallet at a later date to load up my wallet on my phone, or online wallet, should I want to transfer them to an exchange, or should an online seller start to accept them (come on Amazon.co.uk)? Also, I think I read to withdraw funds, you need to exchange them for bitcoin? If you do need to do that, how then do you get the money in £ sterling?

Hi, I'm not quite clear on this point in the FAQ:-
What is mobile mining? - Mobile mining is regular mining done on a phone, which includes getting the phone to solve algorithms, but not adding blocks to the blockchain, and as a reward allocate some coins.
and this
What differentiates Electroneums kind of mobile mining from the "normal" kind? And how does the mobile mining experience work? - The mobile experience of Electroneum doesn't solve algorithms on a blockchain, but instead allocates coins to your wallet, based on a calulation of how powerful your phone is. All this can be done from the background of your phone. The rate of allocating of coins will depend on the amount of users, the amount of coins mined/in the pool and so on. See the technical paper at the bottom of this post for a further explanation.
Does the mobile mining actually do anything useful for the ETN network at all, I thought it was more just a "gimmick" to give people a few coins to help make the thing go viral and get more users? If the latter then why does it need to solve algorithms? The two bits above appear slightly contradictory to me, but that's probably just my lack of knowledge of the "techie" stuff!

Hi mate. Sorry for the late reply, have had a few rough days. I am an enthusiastic investor, nothing else That is weird. What e-mail did you use? They usually respond within 24-48 hours no matter what. Sorry that happened to you! The e-mail confirmation caused them a lot of problems in the beginning which is why they chose to remove it. The my.electroneum.com is a very very secure webpage and you just need a good lengthy password and it will be good - add complexity for extra security! They, and we the community, do not recommend letting your ETN stay in your online wallet. Right now nobody can do anything with it; the best thing you can do, is print the offline wallet asap and move your ETN to there after November 1st. The Telegram usually answers questions like this and otherwise you can write their zendesk: electroneum.zendesk.com/hc/en-us where they answer at least 250 support e-mails.. A DAY!

The QR codes or the addresses on your offline wallet is what is going to let you withdraw, deposit and view your balance The exchanges they are listing on should let you trade ETN for £, but i am not sure. That will depend on what deal they make with them, otherwise you might have to exchange it into BTC first. But we all hope for option one, afaik!

What determines what price a coin will be listed at on the first listing day? Supply and demand: How many people want to buy and how many people want to sell, and at what price Nobody knows anything about the price it is going to sell for, as it solely depends on the people who are trading

Thank you for pointing this out. Yes it can be misunderstood, i will correct that! What i tried to do, was with these words "but instead allocates coins to your wallet, based on a calulation of how powerful your phone is." and " but not adding blocks to the blockchain, and as a reward allocate some coins. " was try to tell people that it is not adding blocks to the blockchain. I will update it to sound like this: "Mobile mining experience is mining done on a phone, which includes getting the phone to calculate the potential power of the phone that can be allocated, but not adding blocks to the blockchain, and then, as a reward for that calculation, allocate some coins." I hope that clarifies it

why buy coins if there easy to mine free with the app ? Because buying in lets you support the cause and the project. I believe in it and i want to be a part of the development. Likewise it takes time for the coin to gain value; so if you can only mine 300 coins a month due to the increase in value, there is a long way up to the really fun parts of the 35k ETN i personally have from a 200 euro investment
