#45: Grin Atomic Swaps ♋️

Covering Apr 15 - Apr 21 2019

Fellow grinners,

It seems I did it again: I wrote last week’s newsletter, published it on socials, but forgot to send it out to you subscribers. 🤦‍♀️ Once is no time, twice points to a process that doesn’t work. So I’m changing mine and hope this doesn’t happen again.

Have a look at last week’s issue in case you missed it.

Best,
Daniel
