Mining
Slean mining was announced by @lolliedieb at the Grin Amsterdam event, making it possible for low memory GPUs to mine the Cuckatoo ASIC tuned algorithm efficiently.
And almost simultaneously, there was another announcement for another method that can be used to solve Cuckatoo with less memory.
Governance
@garyyu and the community gave Grin an official Chinese name: 古灵币
In the Governance meeting, ETH donations and potential changes to the phase out schedule was discussed.
Some incorrect news reporting made me clarify the proof of work discussion in that meeting according to my own understanding of it.
@tromp submitted a proposal for specifying our proof-of-work commitment to hold for 18 months into the future, and to put later phase outs on hold. To be discussed and possibly voted on in the next governance meeting.
The next bi-weekly governance meeting is scheduled for tomorrow Tue Apr 09 @ 15:00 UTC in grin/Lobby on Gitter. You can add topics to the agenda.
