Fork
At block 307500 which is approximately 10.30am BST on May 30th Electroneum will have the fork. That is planned, ASIC-resistant fork following the successful Monero fork Lithium Luna with its ASIC resistance.
Main changes:
- Anti- ASIC
- Transfer Fee Increase
- Increase block size before a penalty
- Disabling of RingCT & Mixin
- Mempool life to 3 days
- 2-minute blocks (1-minute before the fork)
- Doubling the Block Reward (to keep it up the increased blocks timing)
- Reduce difficulty window
Electronero
It might seem that it is the end of the story, but we suddenly have another Electroneum fork announced at bitcointalk - Electronero ETNX. The "team" claims to provide:more reliable platform to current, past Electroneum and future Electronero usersThe main aims of Electronero cannot be really clearly stated even in their 10-page whitepaper (it actually has 8 pages of the text that means something).
You might want to read the Exposing the Electronero fork as well.
For all the Electroneum users - it is promised that you claim your new Electronero 1:1 ETNX for ETN. But don't risk if you will be asked to use your ETN keys in the new ETNX wallet (that is not even released, by the way) as it might be fraudsters that will steal all your ETN.
The only good thing about Electronero is that it's not trying to become ASIC-friendly fork as happened to Monero and Monero Classic. More details in this article.
Current Electroneum news
Electroneum just hit 100,000 mobile miners for the first time since it went live!
Electroneum Now Accepted At Megaxstore! Since April 27. You can read the article about this here.
Electroneum is doing well today, we see the trading volume increase and the price going up as well.
Why did this price increase happen? The Facebook announcement of acceptance on Megaxstore or Electronero? What do you think?

This isn't a hard fork from Electroneum, but a soft fork. The Electronero fork is not as a result of the upcoming update, and instead most likely a scam being pushed by a single web developer, who has a side business selling vapes. I've done a fairly in depth look on both the soft fork update and Electronero in my recent weekly news update: https://steemit.com/electroneum/@johngreenfield/electroneum-weekly-news-roundup-30-04-18

Thank you! we fixed that. Since Electroneum calls it just "fork" everywhere, we won't call it "soft"
It is obviously not the result of it, just good timing, I'd say. And yes, it is most likely a scam.

No problem guys!
It certainly looks like it. Apologies if I came across a bit short, just don't feel like Electronero deserves the time of day. I've seen murmuring on Reddit that the guy who started this fork is behind a lot of the FUD being spread around over the past couple of months, in an attempt to lower the price allowing him to buy more up, start his fork and claim even more of that scam coin. Shameless really.
It's nice to see Electroneum getting more coverage, I think I was the first person on here to start covering it, and watching the tag grow as more users join the platform is a wonderful sight.

We believe that ETN will have the bright future after their patent will be approved and the technology will be used.
