The new crypto currency Electroneum (ETN) has been a huge success from the very beginning. More and more shops and businesses worldwide are joining the Electroneum Community and accepting ETN payments for their goods and services. From the good old fashioned Pizza to more obscure services such as agricultural import and export, technical diving and home security solutions.

The company recently posted a plugin for WordPress WooCommerce on Github which many community members have now integrated into their websites. While the plugin is not final it does demonstrate how easy it is for vendors to confirm ETN payments without running a full node, using the Electroneum block explorer (http://blockexplorer.electroneum.com). ETN say the plugin is serhack’s code made to work with ETN coins and that they have now made several improvements to it. While it is still in beta the full release will be ready once they have moved from a cookie based system to a database system, which is currently in development.
