📰 NEWS
💥Coinswap Mixnet Milestone 2 achieved !
📌Mixnet https://github.com/mimblewimble/mwixnet/pull/3
@Scilio working on Coinswap implementation proposed by J. Tromp, milestone 2 achieved, and getting reviewed by Grin developers.
Mimblewimble CoinSwap implementation is trustless, and widespread use of the protocol would leave the transaction graph mostly obscured.
Progress update and info at forum about Coinswap, by @Scilio
🗳️ Community Council: Election for the 6th CC member
Voting ends on Sunday the 15th of May!
Voting 🗳️ process is held at FORUM
We’ll do approval voting by “Like”-ing the candidates you prefer over the others, who you refrain from “Like”-ing,
Note that liking all of them has the same effect as liking none of them, although your votes are still counted.
Likes from accounts created after the original call for candidates will be discarded, as will a Like from the candidate themselves.
🌐 Grin Public Nodes

With D.Tavarez’s idea and contribution, many public nodes deployed to support Grin, for more robust and decentralized network. It is a nice collaboration of Grin Community. 💪
Thanks to Grinners who donated this idea.
