126: More Grin G1 Mini ASIC details 🤏
Nov 30 - Dec 06 2020
⚠️ DEPRECATION NOTICE ⚠️
With the release of Grin v5.0.0 as part of the January 2021 network upgrade, HTTP/S and file-based methods will be disabled in wallets, and it will no longer be possible to send or receive Grin this way.
Transactions should use the Slatepack standard from now on.
