The last update video by Richard Ells brought to light that push notifications were soon to be added to the Electroneum App. How will these notifications benefit users?

The Old Mobile Miner

To understand the usefulness of these notifications, we have to understand the cloud miner's predecessor: the mobile miner. This version needed to be connected to the internet constantly to work. The app also had to be open in the background. Otherwise, the mining would stop.

Users enjoyed the mining but were frustrated to see the app disconnect often due to connectivity issues.

The New Cloud Miner

The cloud miner got rid of those shortcomings. Now you must only have internet to connect the cloud miner and extend it. The app does not need to run in the background. After 24 hours you can choose to extend the mining or wait the maximum of 7 days. Currently, users tend to forget to extend their cloud miner. This is where push notifications help.

Benefits Of Push Notifications

Push notifications will be of great use to users. When it is time to extend your cloud miner, they will remind you to do so. Although this function is valuable, I believe the true value will be seen in community sentiment.

Now that push notifications will be in place, this should be a thing of the past.

Currently, the cloud miner's active user number climbs and falls. With the help of push notifications, users will remember to extend their miner and the number should keep rising steadily. In the past, when the active user number would fall, some would get nervous and others would use it to criticize the project. Now that push notifications will be in place, this should be a thing of the past.
