I see so many meme tokens and pump and dump shit coins on here all day.
Why not talk about actually interesting developments on the frontier of digital ecash?
This will be a thread for discussion of Grin, MimbleWimble, and any other MW altcoins.

>What is MimbleWimble?
MimbleWimble is a blockchain design that preserves the integrity of the transaction ledger without storing any historical transaction data.
>Why mimblewimble?
MimbleWimble is able to achieve Monero like privacy with scaling ADVANTAGES instead of scaling costs.
The size of the MimbleWimble blockchain scales with unspent outputs which you can think of as roughly analogous to scaling with how many users are using it rather than how long it has been in use.
>What projects are currently using MimbleWimble?
Right now I am aware of Grin, Beam and "MimbleWimble Coin". Supposedly litecoin may be coming out with a MimbleWimble sidechain in the future.
>Why mention Grin in the Subject specifically?
Grin is the Bitcoin of MimbleWimble. It is minimalist, fast and lightweight. Crowed funded entirely with donations. No ICO funny business of any kind. No corporate organization. Completely novel code written totally from scratch. MimbleWimble coin I think is just a fork and beam is a corporate style thing that minted themselves 20% of the currency supply.
>Why I am bullish on grin:
Grin is currently ranked #513 according to coingeko. I'm not saying it should be top 5. But it's starting to bottom out from its early inflationary period and #513 is a joke for a project this cool.
