Hi all, I changed the subject of my reply to "On The Code of Conduct", so as not to mix threads of conversation. Please keep in mind that this is only my interpretation of the code of conduct. I am on the Grin moderation team, but this is not an official position, only my personal thoughts. I've

Sorry, last bullet point should be: • It incentivizes pooled mining, since *users* will probably only submit transactions to the top N accelerators, if you're not in the top N pools, you're incentivized to join one to maximize your fees On Mon, Jan 22, 2018 at 8:21 PM, Casey Rodar

Hi all! Derek and I are running a logo design contest on 99 designs for Grin. The logo that wins the design contest isn't guaranteed to become Grin's logo, but should produce one or more strong options. There have been a total of 171 (!) submissions to the contest. I've narrowed them down to 16,

One thing that John brought up which I think is good to remember that supply inflation is not the same as price inflation. Even in the face of supply inflation, high demand and increasing adoption can lead to negative price inflation. (e.g. price of grin going up) Bitcoin has had supply inflation

Hi Igno, A hard fork where everyone has a lot of time to upgrade is much less painful than one in which the new client is available for only a short time before the new rules go into effect. So, it might be nice to also commit to a lower bound on the lead time that users will have to upgrade and

The code that checks the block reward of the initial blocks will always need to be part of the grin codebase (and any other implementations of grin, should there ever be any). Because it will always have to be part of the codebase, it seems like extra complexity for limited benefit. Interested mi

I'll bite! Naming == 1. I think that MimbleWimble is more in the transaction type category, instead of the blockchain type category. Perhaps it's a silly distinction, but one of the things that I like so much about Grin is that, if you squint a bit, it's just a good ol' blockchain in terms
