Hello From a Bitcoiner

1

I first heard of MimbleWimble back in 2016 when the whitepaper was published by Tom Elvis Jedusor. I read about as much as I could find at the time and the technology interested me greatly.
MimbleWimble has come up a few times in my conversations, mostly over altcoin trading and what we were looking forward to, and exchange listing choices.

Recently I found This Post on Bitcointalk announcing your planned mainnet release around the 15th.
Now I need to catch up on what I need to know as a crypto user about Grin because I am very interested in this project and want in. I have looked all around Bitcointalk but your presence seems very thin.
I really appreciate that you guys arenā€™t resorting to the usual practices of all the scam coins and tokens these days but your awareness level seems very low.

If their is anything I can do for you over at Bitcointalk let me know.
I could do some things such as personally advertise for your awareness or funding, coordinate advertisement, help make and maintain your presence, consult on etiquite and practices, etcā€¦
For example, whoever ā€œknowmasterā€ is, in the official? ANN that was posted, has quite a few questions from the community that remain unanswered.
I would love to be able to earn some Grin somehow and would be grateful to work with you if I could be of any help.
I have looked into mining when it is released but it doesnā€™t look feasible for me.

I have also put a bug in the ear of an exchange that I somewhat collaborate with about your upcoming release hoping to get them to list it ASAP.
Let me know if their is any specific information I should forward them.

This forum is very interesting.
I hope this thread posts because Iā€™m not sure about the ā€œtemporarily limit what new users can doā€. (deleting links)
I had a look at your badges page and might work on them if I find reason to stick around here other than just lurking and reading. Iā€™ve read a bunch of threads here and will read more but Iā€™m not sure I can offer much value to this community in my posts because it is mostly technical development and I am just a simple crypto user, not a developer/coder unfortunately.
I also had a nice conversation with your discobot and like this forumā€™s features very much from what I have seen so far.

Thatā€™s all for now :slight_smile:

Hello from another Bitcoiner.

For the time being, Grin has succeeded in attracting my attention ā€“ but I am still a skeptic. Its promise of scalability AND privacy looks too good to be true. And I try to wrap my head around it.

Grin also has this vibe, which must how has it been during the early days of Bitcoin: newly launched, revolutionary, etc. etc. So, it seems like I am just trying to catch the train with this one.

Hello, yes another bitcoiner here. I have been a bitcoin fanatic for years, and grin is the only other project that has gotten me as excited about something as bitcoin, since bitcoin. I honestly think the infinite cap is a brilliant touch, and I never thought I would ever say something like that. Overall I think grin offers a great collection of features, and Iā€™m excited to see what sort of UX developments come along. One other thing, everyone I talk to about grin gets excited about grin, this was not the case with bitcoin early on when I started in 2013-2014.

On a side note, the dev team has a great sense of humor. Anyway, not sure how successful it will be but Iā€™ve got some grin, I bought some swag, and donated to development, so here we go!

Good luck.

I also use only Bitcoin, but recently Iā€™ve become interested in Grin. What can you say, guys? Since the time passed, are you still excited of Grin?

Look at github activities, weā€™re growing up excitingly as the beginning :smiley:
