BeamX is in testnet, it will be the Beam decentralised finance platform which will host dapps, confidential assets and shaders (private smart contracts)

but yes, in essence, DeFi is the new(ish) buzz word to denote such new platforms, which are emerging.

You can join the testing of BeamX at https://www.beam-foundation.org/beamx

meanwhile, Beam remains best in class privacy cryptocurrency, secured by proof of work, ultra user friendly, lightweight and fast.

As I have heard, there was an issue concerning the mimblewimble blockchain- a hacker managed to break the privacy of the mimblewimble addresses in Grin. As Beam uses the same mimblewimble cryptosystem, its something that beam should also be worried about!
My question: Since that anti privacy- hack, have there any measures been set to prevent such hacks in the future? Is it anyhow possible to update the mimblewimble protocol for beam to prevent that in the future or does your team have any plans to do so?
Cause with the permanent risk of being spyed out by such an attack, this blockchain wouldn't give users more privacy than the privacy coins that have already  established themselves on the crypto market... and no benefit to the other privacy coins would mean that beam would not be able to compete with coins like ZCash or Monero, who also promise privacy to their users....

Team Beam

[CryptoBroker012]

yes, it's very nice that you are building a mobile app for BEAM and that you are currently doing a lot of updates and whatsoever....
BUT- that doesn't answer my question:

COULD YOU ALREADY UPDATE THE MIMBLEWIMBLE BLOCKCHAIN FOR BEAM TO PREVENT FURTHER PRIVACY HACKS - OR CAN YOU DO SO IN THE FUTURE?

Talking clear- text, I mean THAT hacker attack on the mimblewimble protocol:

https://bitcoinist.com/mimblewimble-attacked-using-60-per-week-on-aws/

(this is an important point, as the whole privacy and anonymity, Beam should provide depends on this question.....!!!)
I would be pleased to get an aswer from your team about this point- as I'm thinking of buying some more Beam coins. If you can't answer it, I must write down my previous investment (just a few 100 Euros so far) as lost and must move on to an other coin for investing...

[BeamPrivacy]

COULD YOU ALREADY UPDATE

Hi "CryptoBroker"

This is not an attack on Beam, nor is it anything that wasn't known about Mimblewimble from the onset. In fact, this is why Beam is designed the way it was, to include decoy outputs, and obfuscate the transaction graph.

You can find our reply here to the above piece here:
https://medium.com/beam-mw/will-breaking-mimblewimbles-privacy-model-work-on-beam-9125bc2ee863

The author, was called out, and encouraged to recreate the "attack" (It's not really an attack at all) on Beam, and didn't take up the challenge. Since the article came out, Beam has also added LelantusMW which utilises a shielded pool to further increase privacy, and allow for an anonymity set of 64k.

All of this has been updated, already. If you have any further questions, feel free to let us know.

[CryptoBroker012]

ah ok- thank you for your reply- so it's much harder (if not impossible) to do the same attack against the BEAM network- sounds good! This point could also be communicated better to the public- so that your coin doesn't get dragged down the same way, it was the case with GRIN.
Shilled as the "perfect privacy coin", Beam first managed to go up to about 7 Euros per coin- but since that privacy attack, it got dumped down to about 1k sat and below that.... you should really try to emphasize the privacy advantages that it has in contrast to GRIN- imho!

[etoque]

Hey

Beam definitively look interesting, Third wave of privacy coin at only 25m cap, that give me a little vibe of 2014-15. I've put some in my portfolio as well !

I'll try to catch up the development and news that goes on

Now I see they are the same. Two days ago they was different.
It's looks like devs changed exe file in github after I posted message about that.
But they not answered why files was different.

Team can modify wallet and fix bugs or integrates new features. I don't know what are differences here but if you always verify the wallet you download, you will be safe.

On the Github of BEAM, the team writes a guide to verify Beam wallet's release binaries. Don't trust what I quoted and visit that link to get details.
