Electronero is a fork from Electroneum (ETN) made by the community, for the community beginning building from Monero source v0.12.2 Lithium Luna, one of the most respectable cryptocurrency well-known for security, privacy, untraceability and active development. Starting as an educational project, we found that it would be great to create a new coin with high level of privacy by (1) moving forward right away to Ring Confidential Transactions (RingCT), (2) setting minimum transaction mixins to 12 that would make it high resistance to blockchain analysis attacks.. We found that some of the features of Sumokoin were also interesting to us such as the "bitcoin-like" Camel emission, rather than a traditional Elliptical emission curve. So we implemented that. We also adapted the LWMA as we were advised by mathematician and blockchain theorist Zawy has researched this new difficulty algorithm extensively. Public Testnet launch is debuted at block height 280,000. The hard fork will occur at block height 307,000 and all owners of Electroneum will be de facto owners of Electronero. The codebase for this project is the Monero Lithium Luna v0.12.2+ release core code to which a lot of modifications are being made in order to provide a better, more reliable platform to current, past Electroneum and future Electronero users. Cryptocurrencies have attracted substantial attention over the past few years bringing millions of new users into the market dramatically increasing demand, market value, and daily activity. With such an increased demand comes a big responsibility on cryptocurrency developers to ensure they are delivering the most stable platform to their users allowing them complete freedom of access to their funds. Read the whitepaper where some community members have detailed the basis for our fork, the ethical standards that are to be upheld in the fork’s environment as well as technical details, our roadmap and plans for the future of Electronero.
