Good idea to give updates on your progress 👍 I do think there’s a low hanging fruit that can make a big difference to some of us. For instance, it’s a huge difference for me to read > It is hard to break this prejudgement , i wanted to emphasize Grin **usability** , _ **easy** _ way to transact with slatepack method . or > It is hard to break this prejudgement, i wanted to emphasize Grin **usability** , _ **easy** _ way to transact with slatepack method. The only difference is the spaces around commas, dots. I’m mentioning because I saw this also on the tweets and posts and I think all of these could benefit from this minor improvement 👍 ---

Continuing the discussion from [Cekickafa Progress Update Thread](https://forum.grin.mw/t/cekickafa-progress-update-thread/9662/2): > [@Cobragrin](#): > > 15 March - 27 March Hi Grin Community, My progress update for the period of 27 March - 15 April. - [Agenda](https://github.com/grincc/agenda/issues/54) and Meeting. - Collect materials and news and info about GRIN. Monitoring all channels generally. - Prepared a [report](https://forum.grin.mw/t/active-exchanges-3-0/9636/5) on 100x app presented to Grin Community Council. - Frequent posts about GRIN updates on [Grin\_MW](https://twitter.com/MW_Grin), [reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/grincoin/), [bitcointalk](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5090427.1720), [Grin Africa](https://twitter.com/BinanceAfrica) - Continued work on slatepack usage step by step videos with Niffler wallet. - I published bi-weekly Grinpost newsletter and Grinpost Medium article. There is substack and medium, 2 different platforms reaching a wider audience with different tags and keywords. I think there is no harm publishing those newsletters and articles with crossposts at [reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/grincoin/comments/tuw20m/grin_100_milliondesigned_for_the_decades/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) and [twitter](https://twitter.com/MW_Grin). So i try diffrent channels and publish at both area. The aim is to reach more people with more content and more channels. - - _[GRIN 100 Million-Designed for the Decades.](https://grinpost.substack.com/p/grin-100-million-designed-for-the?s=w)_… - - [GRIN recollections.](https://grinpost.medium.com/grin-recollections-f8aa9507dbc1) **GRIN Links** - Contacted platforms like [Coingecko](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/grin), [Coinmarketcap](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/grin/), [Coincheckup](https://coincheckup.com/coins/grin/resources), [Coinlib](https://coinlib.io/coin/GRIN/Grin), [Livecoinwatch](https://www.livecoinwatch.com/price/Grin-GRIN) GRIN old site and links removed, fixed with existing site, github page. Added forum link,telegram and reddit page also. Some of them are still going on. - **Bisq** Yes, we are all excited about Bisq GRIN integration, many devs spent time and contributed for this. Grin Community Counsil effort is undeniable. For me it is hard to use, for a newbie no comment. I encountered a [seed nodes](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/issues/6144) problem everytime i connect and lastly managed to overcome it, thanks to bisq devs. I will make a review for this anyway at a later time. - Opened another Grin community channel for various videos to share with GRIN keywords and tags . Anybody can send me videos and can be published there about Grin. Here is a video about GRIN Slatepack Transactions with Carrier Pigeons and Hogwarts Owl. [https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8a0r9g](https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8a0r9g) **Active exchanges** feedback. - [ZB Exchange](https://www.zb.com/en/kline/grin_usdt) Tor adresses are working now. They use MEMO and 1000 confirmations just like Gateio. Low liquidity at the moment. - [Bkex](https://www.bkex.com/trade/GRIN_USDT) TOR adresses are still not stable. I managed to deposit with contacting support after several days. ☹ _P.S : I contact them ASAP. Do your own research about exchanges and use at your own Risk !_ Feedbacks are welcome. Thanks in advance. You can contact me at @cekickafa keybase, discord, telegram, bitcointalk, reddit, twitter. DMs are open. **Just GRIN ツ**. ---

Hello Grin Community. My progress update for the period of 15 April- 30 April is presented below. - [Agenda](https://github.com/grincc/agenda/issues/55) and Meetings. - Finished [Tr-translation](https://github.com/GrinPlusPlus/GrinPlusPlusMobile/pull/20) for Grin++ Mobile - Finished [Tr translation](https://github.com/grinfans/Niffler/pull/75) for Niffler - Regular updates at Grin channels; [reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/grincoin/), [bitcointalk](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5090427.1720), [twitter](https://twitter.com/MW_Grin), [Discord](https://discord.gg/Z3sEfEU) about Grin progress. - Grinpost [April 2022](https://grinpost.substack.com/p/grin-april-steady?r=n8ot5&s=w&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web) issue. Ramping Turkish Community, Due to big [crypto penetration](https://news.bitcoin.com/latin-america-and-turkey-have-the-most-cryptocurrency-users-poll-shows/) at my local area, i opened some Grin Tr channels to inform Turkish community about Grin progress and engage directly. Turkiye is a very large market for crypto and also very crypto friendly, has largest mobile and internet users in mid-asia and euro area. Crypto adoption is very fast due to high inflation. i felt obliged to ramp this local community. - [Grin Tr telegram](https://t.me/GrinTurk) - [Grin Tr twitter](https://twitter.com/grinkoin) - [Grin Tr bitcointalk](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5396504.msg59991352#msg59991352) I will keep those channel up-to-date as well. Dont hesitate to join, even you dont speak the language, we all Mimble-Wimble there friendly ツ . ![tr ado](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/grin/original/2X/c/c178a0989bf30270649ea4f8db17853b694a3f38.png) **MimbleWimble** From the last [Binance twit](https://twitter.com/binance/status/1520176123103088642) about MimbleWimble, it become obvious that altough Grin is the real deal, _the first_ implementation of MimbleWimble tech, all other crypto projects begin to own it much more than us. 😃 I invite you all to join MimbleWimble channels. Grin unique features should be voiced, that it differs from other MimbleWimble implementations. [Reddit MimbleWimble](https://www.reddit.com/r/Mimblewimble/) MimbleWimble [Telegram](https://t.me/mimblewimble_protocol) As Grin Community Council [suggestion](https://github.com/grincc/agenda/issues/49#issuecomment-1081566659on%20ramping%20active%20community%20members%20on%20ramping.%20grin%20sub%20team.), more activity and engagement needed from community. Any crypto project needs a _strong_ community. And if you got a _strong community_ you can achieve quite a lot. Simply _ **Grin ツ** _ Any feedback is welcome. Thank you. ---

Currently, [Testnet](https://testnet.grinexplorer.net/) is actively running. **Grin Mining Tutorial** Helped publishing [Grin Mining Tutorial](https://ipollo.com/blogs/news/grin-mining-tutorial) to ipollo website. **GRIN Istanbul Meetup** Organized [Grin Istanbul meetup](https://forum.grin.mw/t/grinistanbul-meetup/10183) which was remarkably successful and productive in my opinion.
