**Electroneum** is one of the many ICOs that are all the rage today but with one important point to focus on, becoming the "world's first common cryptocurrency". With this in mind, it was built with user friendliness and ease of micropayments.

This revolves around the maximum coin supply limit of 21 billion; a far cry above bitcoin's supply of 21 million. This is done with the intention of simplifying the currency issue, making it more human-like. Imagine paying for a can of soda for 0.00004 BTC vs 1.56 ETN, the latter makes so much more sense.

While the above make be easily compared with any cryptocurrencies with relatively large supplies, the ETN has another selling point of increase their market share; the use revolving their smartphone app. While there are abundance of smartphone apps nowadays that allow you to store your coins inside, not many are integrated with a miner itself. Do not confuse this with the rest of the smartphone miners, the ETN mobile miner runs at a minimal footprint and it doesn't actually mines per-se, what it does is that it ensures that you are getting a share of the mining pool mined by the other desktop miners that are actually doing the mining; all these while keeping itself as a non-intrusive background app.

> Installing the app (from Apple or Android) means that the user can start mining the currency instantly, even when the app is running in the background you'll still be gaining coins. They claim that the app will use very little bandwidth so will be cheap for the user to mine and won't require any technical ability.
