News

  • Grin's UTXO set continues to shrink, and has now been reduced by 35% over the past 10 days. Some proper wizardry right there. šŸ§™ā€ā™‚ļø

  • Videos from the Grin Amsterdam talks are now up on Youtube. Thanks to Bitonic for doing the recordings and livestream.

  • Nathaniel Whittemore outlines crypto narratives for Spring 2019, in which he writes that ā€œthe patina of the fair launch narrative has come off a bit after Grinā€. Valid assertion? Maybe, I for one wouldn’t know. It does however beg the question of what exactly was supposed to have happened by now, three months into Grin’s mainnet existence. And one might also wonder how any of this would help justify a forced dev tax for other projects. 惄

DevĀ 

  • There areĀ 110 open issuesĀ in /grin, andĀ 32 open issues in /grin-wallet.

  • @yeastplume isĀ working on invoicing support for wallet and has created a rust implementation of wallet seed sharding using Samir's Secret Sharing. Pretty cool stuff.

  • @quentinlesceller has been hard at workĀ getting Azure Pipelines properly set upĀ as we move away from Travis.

  • @antiochp asked for input onĀ optimising Merkle Proofs by aggregation.
