Grin v4.0.0 Network Upgrade (HF3), expected ~ July 15, 2020:
Following the recent attention given to PayJoin, @antiochp observed that the graph obfuscation technique would be very suitable for Grin, as interactivity is already a requirement for transaction building.
The wallet repo now has a compact slates branch that is being exposed to all kinds of transaction slate experimentation and trickery by @yeastplume.
New RFC: e2e encrypted slates over http(s), by @DavidBurkett.
@antiochp weekly update.
A comparison of tx-building methods and trade-offs.
The last Dev meeting reviewed v4.0.0 status, discussed Grin’s stance towards soft forks, and post v5.0.0 network upgrades.
The next bi-weekly developer meeting is scheduled for Tuesday Apr 28 @ 15:00 UTC in grincoin#dev on Keybase. You can add topics to the agenda.
