INTRODUCTION
Electronero (ETNX)
Electronero is a fork from Electroneum (ETN) made by the community, for the community beginning building from Monero source v0.12.0 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 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.

BASIS FOR THE HARD FORK :
The idea of creating a fork from Electroneum emerged from the ETN community as there have been growing concerns of the lack of support from the developers, issues regarding deposits and transfers, the flooding of new CryptoNight ASIC miners on the market. The growing cryptocurrency market and the millions of users therefore requires a lot more technical support than currently provided which explains the basis for this project; providing a state of the art platform for ETN users by creating a fork that would truly answer the needs of the community.
Read the White Paper
•Untraceability: for each incoming transaction all possible senders are equiprobable.
•Unlinkability: for any two outgoing transactions it is impossible to prove they were sent to the same person.

ABOUT ELECTRONERO
ELECTRONEUM PREMINE AND CONFLICT
The main ETN chain has started with a 12,6 Billion ETN - 84% of circulating supply (14 Billions) and 56% of total supply (21 Billion), of which 4 billion were sold in an ICO and an another 7 (33%) billion is apparently being held up to feed the mobile miner. These extreme figures represent a big risk for users due to a large amount of capital being controlled by the ETN team and as all CryptoNote coins being completely anonymous, there is no way to verify that this capital is being used in the way that it is presented. Cryptocurrencies in general being unregulated, ETN thereby has no fiduciary responsibility to its users and in no circumstances are compelled to use these funds in the way the are advertising it. SOLUTION FOR A FAIR ENVIRONMENT:To resolve this obvious conflict, we have decided to increase the total supply for ETNX to 210 billion units. Therefore providing a fair platform and increasing mining rewards in order to give back to the community. Alongside, we have also determined necessary to create an “instamine” of 5% that is detailed below :
•3% for the mobile miner
•2% for developers to leverage a potential “dump” from centralized capital from ETN.
•3% for the mobile miner
•2% for developers to leverage a potential “dump” from centralized capital from ETN.

Supply & Emission
Total supply: 210,000,000,000 token supply after the hard fork.
Coin symbol: ETNX
Coin units:
1 eCent = 0.01 ETNX (10-2 - the smallest coin unit)
1 Electronero= 1 ETNX
Hash algorithm: CryptoNight_xmr (v7, cn_variant 1)
Block time: 120 seconds
Emission scheme: Electronero's block reward changes every 6-months following a "Camel" distribution (inspired by real-world mining production like of crude oil, coal etc. that is often slow at first, accelerated in the next few years before declined and depleted). However, the emission path of Electronero is generally not far apart from that of Sumokoin.

Additional Specifications
[1] CPU + GPU mining (about 1:1 performance for now). Memory-bound by design using AES encryption and several SHA-3 candidates.
[2] Initial number of atomic units is M = 264 - 1. However, once the block reward reaches 0.3 ETNX per minute (sometime in 2030) that is treated as the minimum subsidy, which means that Electronero's total emission will forever increase by ~157680 ETNX annually.
[3] Uses a recurrence relation. Block reward = (M - A) * 2-20 * 10-12, where A = current circulation.
FAQ

Electronero is Based on CryptoNote Technology
What is CryptoNote?
CryptoNote is the technology that allows creation of privacy-centric cryptocurrencies. You can visit their website at cryptonote.org. The level of anonymity provided by CryptoNote isn't possible with Bitcoin code base by design. Bytecoin (BCN) was the CryptoNote reference implementation, and Monero (XMR) based their sources on BCN. Electronero (ETNX) is based on XMR's code.
Two of the main features of CryptoNote are ring signatures that mask sender identities by mixing and one-time keys that make transactions unlinkable. Their combined effect gives a high degree of anonymity without any extra effort on the part of the user.
Unlike Bitcoin, your funds are not held in the address you give out to others. Instead, every time you receive a payment it goes to an unlinkable address generated with random numbers. When you decide to spend the funds in that one-time address, the amount will be broken down and the components will be indistinguishable from identical outputs in the blockchain.
For example if 556.44 ETNX are sent, the protocol will break it down into 500 + 50 + 6 + 0.4 + 0.04 and a ring signature will be performed with other 500's, 50's, 6's, 0.4's, and 0.04's in the blockchain. Unlike the "CoinJoin" mixing method, CryptoNote mixes outputs not transactions. This means no other senders need to be participating with you at the same time or with the same amounts. Any arbitrary amount sent at any time can always be rendered fundamentally indistinguishable (a mathematical proof is given in the white paper).
The degree of anonymity is also a choice rather than decided by the protocol: do you want to be hidden as one among five or one among fifty? The size of the signature grows linearly as O(n+1) with the ambiguity so greater anonymity is paid for with higher fees to miners.
Ring signatures are explained below. Reproduced from CryptoNote:
A normal signature looks like this. There's only one participant, which allows one-to-one mapping.
![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fimage.ibb.co%2FhdZrGn%2Fcn01.png&t=663&c=Drb7KVEcnE6QqA)
A ring signature obscures identities because it only proves that a signer belongs to a group.

This allows a high level of anonymity in cryptocurrency transactions. You can think of it as decentralized and trustless mixing.
![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fimage.ibb.co%2Fg9KDU7%2Fcn03.png&t=663&c=_36GJo_fgFLWDQ)
How does this compare to other anonymous solutions?
Ring signatures originate from the work of Rivest et al. in 2001 and the implementation in CryptoNote relies in particular on Fujisaki and Suzuki's work on traceable ring signatures. There are two other anonymity implementations currently available or in development. One is ZeroCoin/ZeroCash's use of zero-knowledge proofs. The others are based on gmaxwell's CoinJoin idea (such as mixing services for Bitcoin or the altcoin Darkcoin).
1. Comparison with ZeroCoin and ZKP-based approaches:
You can read about ZeroCoin and zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP) here. The ZK environment allows an anonymity set that includes everyone in the network because the validity of an output can be proven without knowing the corresponding public key until it is spent. The largest risk is that this is recent research-level cryptography that hasn't been subjected to years of cryptanalysis, so exploits may emerge down the road. Ring signatures are much simpler and more mature, with many peer-reviewed papers published over more than a decade.
Other issues with ZKP include the RSA private key used to initiate the accumulator, which must be trusted to be destroyed by the generating party. It also obscures the entire economy, not just sender/receiver identities. If the ZK system is compromised, then an attacker can continuously spend coins that don't exist using false proofs. This damage is hidden from everybody due to total blinding and consequently at any given time it's not possible to know if the network has already been compromised. There is a tradeoff between these inherent risks and the maximal anonymity set provided by ZKP. CryptoNote aims for a different balance through the dual layers of privacy provided by one-time keys and ring signatures.
2. Comparison with CoinJoin-based approaches:
XMR is more qualitatively similar to mixing implementations like CoinJoin. The differences arise in the departure from the Bitcoin protocol, which allows ETNX to use new cryptography to provide decentralized and trustless mixing of superior quality. The critical problem with mixing services is the need to trust the operators. As an example, blockchain.info's mixer gives the following disclaimer: "However if the server was compromised or under subpoena it could be force to keep logs. If this were to happen although you haven't gained any privacy you haven't lost any either."
The CoinJoin-inspired Darkcoin performs mixing with selected "masternodes" since it still uses ordinary signatures that can be mapped one-to-one. The motivation is that a randomly selected node is less likely than a single service to exhibit bad faith (such as keeping logs) . In practice, a few VPS companies host the vast majority of nodes and this approach relies on the integrity and good behavior of these nodes. ETNX's more fundamental cryptographic approach doesn't have these vulnerabilities and the quality of anonymity is much higher.
ETNX's ring signatures are also far more secure and convenient than CoinJoin because they mix outputs not transactions. This means a transaction doesn't involve waiting around for other senders to mix with. Nor is a user restricted to mixing only if others are sending the same amount. Arbitrary amounts can be sent at any time without anyone else's participation. This feature makes a timing analysis of the blockchain useless.
Overview of a transaction
Bob decides to spend an output, which was sent to the one-time public key. He needs Extra (1), TxOutNumber (2), and his Account private key (3) to recover his one-time private key (4).
When sending a transaction to Carol, Bob generates its Extra value by random (5). He uses Extra (6), TxOutNumber (7) and Carol's Account public key (
![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif)
In the input Bob hides the link to his output among the foreign keys (10). To prevent double-spending he also packs the Key image, derived from his One-time private key (11).
Finally, Bob signs the transaction, using his One-time private key (12), all the public keys (13) and Key Image (14). He appends the resulting Ring Signature to the end of the transaction (15).
