It’s been a while since I heard about Grin. It seems that the enthusiasm for this project has waned, especially as the entire market is moving towards centralization and gradually phasing out privacy coins. We saw how centralized platforms refused to integrate the MimbleWimble protocol layer with Litecoin, which added an extra layer of protection, as part of their policies to discourage the use of privacy coins, but we haven’t heard anything about Grin, which is one of the most private networks, and the platforms that support it have not changed their position yet.

I suspect that the lack of interest is due to the decline in popularity of Grin, as even after it was integrated into the forum system here to pay for Cooper membership, very few users did so. I would like to hear good news about Grin in the future and for development to continue.

Here is some news, whether to your tastes it is good or not I leave to you:

I've launched a self-hosted site aimed at helping Grin miners, especially those that solo mine with resources and private nodes/stratum servers.

https://grinminer.net

There you can get a free (or paid including backups and 24/7 support) Grin node or node+stratum server to privately transact or mine with. In addition to the VPS service, it is the largest repository of firmware for the G1/G1 mini, a testnet faucet, an online wallet checker, mainnet/testnet explorers, and a Trezor/Ledger compatible HTML standalone wallet enabling cold storage for Grin.

Also join us in the most private and new https://grinchat.mw community hosted SimpleX chat server.

Resetting the Community Council (CC)?

[feedmeastraysat]

Grinminer.net is now offering a mainnet Grin faucet where you can claim 1ツ every 24 hours. I am paying through my own mining rewards so there is a donation address listed.

So far the input sanitization and coding practices have blocked multiple attempts to game it, and that is with no function to log IP addresses, not even hashed ones.

This is important as Grin is privacy by default and i want all grinners with nyms or just ones with privacy concerns to thrive and get a couple free coins.

The faucet falls back to transactions by slatepack in case of an offline wallet or error and there is a form on the page to finalize your response slatepack automatically.
