They made an announcement stating sometime next week. But the mobile miner should have been out in November. It clearly wasnt ready. So they fabricated everything else.

Nope the mobile miner is ready by nov 2017 only. They have not released due to issues in electroneum wallet as they used the same app for wallet and miner. They have released a video sneakpeak of the miner then. They are trying to make it secure so that no intruders steal electroneum tokens through miner interface. Also huge user base is also a concern. Demand for electroneum is much more than expected and they have now redesigned everthing to support more users. The reason for the delay.

This is so wrong. CLI wallet has always worked, and as far as they knew the wallet worked. they didnt release the mobile miner because they didnt have it.

Check out this video, They built miner long back.

Right, then why hasnt it been released yet?

I did mention in one of my reply. They are trying to get it secured and to support huge userbase. They don't want to messup like wallet release. They were being little careful this time. So beta first for limited users and then fix issues if they come across.
