Auth Slates proposal. The Auth slates protocol is a proposal to expand the use of wallets to derive private-keys to create signatures for authentication purposes. Wallets can derive private-keys for a specific service and user name and generate signatures to use as authentication tokens in slatepack format. The Auth slates protocol allows you to use your GRIN wallet to login to online services without revealing the slatepack address or allowing different accounts to be linked.

It is a brief documentation and full package for installing GRIN to communicate with API, including 20 bash scripts to query the API. The document is edited by @satoshcrat.
