>What's Grin?

>Electronic transactions for all. Without censorship or restrictions.

>Grin empowers anyone to transact or save modern money without the fear of external control or oppression. Grin is designed for the decades to come, not just tomorrow. Grin wants to be usable by everyone, regardless of borders, culture, skills or access.

>Private

>Grin has no amounts and no addresses. Transactions can be trivially aggregated. To hide where a newly created transaction comes from, it gets relayed privately (a "random walk") among peers before it is publicly announced.

>Scalable

>MimbleWimble leverages cryptography to allow most of the past transaction data to be removed. This guarantees Grin won't crumble under its own weight in the long term.

>Open

>Grin is developed openly, by developers distributed all over the world. It's not controlled by any company, foundation or individual. The coin distribution is designed to be as fair (but not gratis) as is known to be possible.

Grin is under development. Launch planned for Jan. 15th 2019.

I fail to understand how you're supposed to transfer money between people without addresses. I fail to understand how this system is supposed to prevent double spending.

Maybe this helps?

The Hacker News discussion might be useful here as well, it's where I found the link after all (forgot about it after so many months):

They simply adopted that name from an anonymous contributor who came up with the Mimblewimble cryptography.

Doesn't Zcash use bulletproofs?

wew. That's not scaling. Scalability is maxing your throughput.

They didn't even make a whitepaper. If you want to appear serious, at least learn LaTeX.

Don't know, I know Monero has them.

I was shilling this on /pol/ and /cow/ a week ago. I hope they get their OpenCL miner working in time for launch.

Just steal the code then.

▶Anonymous 01/07/19 (Mon) 03:25:30 No.1017175

You know it's a good idea to mine this coin when /biz/ is completely unaware of it.

You don't have to join the project to make money off of mining it.

Unfortunately, now that it's been posted to HN and got a fair number replies, it will probably get all the ETH miners stealing it all, so maybe there is no point to mine with a single gpu...

▶Anonymous 01/07/19 (Mon) 03:46:06 No.1017185

>>1017179

Then it will become just another flavor-of-the-month shitcoin very soon.

▶Anonymous 01/07/19 (Mon) 04:04:22 No.1017192

Yeah, looking at this, I've forgotten how competitive mining is today for new coins compared to 2013 when I used to mine stuff.

https://github.com/mimblewimble/grin/issues/2121

The only hope is that everyone ignores it for the first few weeks, which isn't likely.
