Grin project maintaining offer

Development and Technical Discussion
1

Good morning, community! You may know me as Grim GUI creator, I also contributed at Mimblewimble node and wallet repositories.

Time is moving fast, 3 years ago I joined GRIN as “investor”, later found it had no working node on Mobile (alternative implementation Grin++ crashed here and later was abandonned), so I decided to start work on Grim and launched first Grin Rust node on Android and iOS. A lot events happened since, from hackers to trolls attacks, this is normal competition in cryptosphere.

Now we see Grin has no maintainers at all, we have list of open problems like sync issues, outdated libs (i.e. lmdb crate - it needs to compile grin for Android twice), experiments with new developments (mwixnet by @scilio and contracts by @oryhp ), p2p network, where everyone can launch peer at any device, even without fixed IP address (i.e.: GitHub - cyphernet-labs/cyphernet.rs: Cyphernet is a set of libraries for privacy-preserving networking apps ), possibly with Proof-Of-Work protection (we just need do adopt open-source miner, as convertion of @NicolasFlamel work to Rust: GitHub - DarkHorse0725/cuckatoo-mining: Convert cuckatoo mining into Rust) and some other opened issues.

My pleasure is to work on Grin full-time, I want to offer myself as full-time contributor with salary 300000₽ per month (approx. $4000), I can demonstrate my work with online video stream, so everyone will see what we are doing. Thank you.

I am in favor. We need someone with Rust knowledge to review atomic swap code so a full-time commitment will go a long way.

I welcome this offer :+1: .
Me and others might be able to make an occasional pull request, but we need someone on “watch duty” to review and merge these requests to keep development and maintenance going.

Are there any “old timers” that would be willing to at least review pull requests before merge?

Could be worthwhile to even pay a small fee to old contributors for the review work.

The community has spoken.
As i stated at last night meeting, A qualified volunteer, Ardocrat, has stepped forward. The only thing standing between Grin and progress is a grant and the technical privileges (commit, review, merge) to go on development. Any further delay is a deliberate choice to reinforce the Status Quo.
GGC and other team members should act.

And @ardocrat, if you truly believe this project needs development, i guess you would accept a role where you are granted the privileges (commit, review, merge) and accept decentralized development. Otherwise It suggests this isn’t a real attempt to lead, but a performance.

I consent.

Currently I am reviewing pool api to check why txs are not broadcasting from my node.

@ardocrat ,

This is one of the best news I’ve heard.

Thank you for all of your hard work.

I’ve been in CT campaigning for Grin & you coming in as the warden/maintainer is truly a breath of fresh air.

The Grin Mimblewimble Privacy protocol is truly cutting edge & second to none. Its a disservice to go under-utilized in the age of privacy awakening.

If you’re ever on CT or open to Vlad costea for an interview, just let me know. I can set one up, I’ve set one up with Dr Marek before so we can set a larger audience highlight on GRIN…

Otherwise Godspeed & blessings.

@ardocrat Congratulations :tada:, this funding request has been officially approved by the community and the Grin Governance Council (GGC).

Let us know when you officially start working :flexed_biceps: full time on Grin so we can plan timely payments and keep track of your work.

I have been studying ZCASH’s rise in price & utility.(As I’m a Zodler myself)

I’ve had long conversations with GROK Ai & I believe that GRIN Mimblewimble has an opportunity to capitalize on Zcash’s strategy.

Zcash is popular in Binance exchange in BRICS nations & brings privacy to citizens in Russia,China,Brazil ,& INDIA.

If we can get GRIN Listed on Binance , it’ll be one of the easiest methods to catch up to zcash.

I hope you find this useful.

I think after 2029, there are some bugs, QPC hysteria and inflation above 10% yet.
Any bank can list Grin in the future.
CEXs are like banks.
If we will integrate Grin at DEXs, it will be much better.
We just need Multisig.

@ardocrat

Here are the top 3 DEX(es)

[Multisig,YES]

Open to List GRIN Mimblewimble:

Bisq

Haveno

DCRDEX

Banks(when GRIN usage MC goes up)

Kraken

Gemini

Binance

There is most definitely an opportunity to capitalize on BRICS countries, hope this helps Ardocrat.

We’ll keep in touch.

Banks will use CBDC to restrict p2p even more, now we can use cash to exchange freely, GRIN as alternative must have.
