3 Reasons Why BEAM is Winning

You believe that Grin’s purpose is P2P digital cash, right? So how do you expect to get adoption from mainstream uses when there’s only one place you can currently spend Grin? https://tmgox.com/ Thanks to @0xb100d. How is adoption by ‘users’ going to change that? The reality is most users can’t even get their Grin’s off exchanges, because, they can’t work out to port forward- Let alone spend Grin in a point of sale environment (This is an exaggeration, however, the point is Grin is challenging to use for a mainstream user, it’s nowhere near ready for serious adoption). I mean there’s not even a GUI wallet in the main repository, CLI only.

Before adoption by ‘users’, we need to create a Grin ecosystem, which requires extensive development. This development needs to come from open source contributors ( or Maven’s): Academics, cryptographers, geeks, nerds, ideological college kids, hobbyist coders, cypherpunks, devs who quit corporate careers/ or are secretly working on the side. Grin’s rebellious, provocative, edgy looking logo is ideal for attracting these kinds of people.
