Grin MimbleWimble News #76
A Cypherpunk dream,
If only there were a privacy-preserving currency — lightweight, scalable, no addresses, no history, no amounts.
Your Cypherpunk dream , Just Grin ツ
"Privacy-preserving currency": ✅ Fungibility. This is the goal. No coin can be blacklisted or traced back to its origin.
"Lightweight, scalable": ✅ No need for every node to store and validate the entire history of every transaction. The blockchain (or mint) becomes a simple, blind server.
"No addresses": ✅ Transactions are not sent to an on-chain address. They are sent directly to a person, offline or via any messaging platform (Email, Nostr, Telegram, a QR code in a smoky bar).
"No history": ✅ The public ledger (if it exists) only sees random, unlinkable data. Only the holder of the coins knows their own history.
"No amounts": ✅ The amounts are encrypted and only visible to the sender and receiver. The network only sees "blinded" mathematical proofs.
