Ive been following the project for almost two years now, i bet it was way cheaper when I wrote about it, I used it for a while then my phone had issues....
Theyve tried a lot, theyve come a long way, they built a phone, Electroneum phone with more capacity to mine than the random android, and at a very affordable cost too, the grade of the phone was as good as Iphone 5SE as at that time, theyve fought through many regulatory issues, they were almost shut down at one point, then they did something very nice, they patnerred with the internet service provider of i think South Africa? Im not sure, but imagine like, partnering with mtn, so you can use the token youve mined to buy internet subscription, it blew my mind, it was almost twice cheaper than the normal sub.
That project should be bigger than what it presently is, well shouldn't Hive?
Anyway, you said the mining has been discontinued, any reason?
