Richard Ells:
Please bear with us we are currently working with Amazons team online. When we brought the system up and instantly got hit by a giant botnet.
We are integrating some Amazon systems and incorporating them into our code to automatically block these based on behaviour and a number of other factors.
We are working through the night, but it's looking very promising and we will have this live before we leave to get some sleep!
Again, my sincere apologies for these delays, we are victims of our own success. It is only because Electroneum has been the largest token sale in the history of token sales (by participants) that we have become such a target. We have plenty of budget, thanks to all the contributors, and we are applying some of those funds to help make a stable platform that we can use to open the world of cryptocurrencies to a brand new, mass audience.
Thanks again for your patience...
Richard

We have already overtaken some of the top 10 coins by user number - and we haven't even fully launched!
Electroneum has an exciting future - thanks for sharing it!
That's all good. But answer these two questions.
1. Why did you allow miners to get the jump ahead of investors it should have been put on hold.
2. Why do they release updates/upgrades/change of password at midnight their time when they are tired and unable to work anymore?
