I'm looking to buy grin by the 1000s @ 1k sats each.

I'll buy a day of Grin at that price....

(funny that a whole day of Grin now costs less than 1 BTC...)

I still don't understand why those calculator saying hashrate in h/s instead of GPS.

So do you think if I just put them same as what GPS speed they are all the same?

Incase if that miner is running at 1.4gps well the speed is much lower than gtx 1080ti. I mean gtx 1080ti is way more faster than this miner.

I guess they want to pretend every PoW is a hashcash, or are too lazy to properly account for different PoW.

No; a 1080Ti does only 0.46 gps on Cuckatoo32, according to https://whattomine.com/

Well my order got filled within a few hours so I'd put your money where your mouth is if you're serious

Im interest to see grin coin movements. Not yet get point or reason why GRIN coin went for infinite- linear.
Could anyone want to share what’s purpose for that things?
Been analyzing before, the prices valued on bitcoin is lowest currently, so have look to buy now.

I wrote 3 short articles that try to explain Grin without assuming any knowledge in cryptography. One article is about Grin's emission model. Here's the link to the post on hackernews https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25598571
Let me know if some things are not clear and I'll try to explain them here

Hard Fork Incoming!

Node changes:
Improve transaction fee calculation, as outlined in https://github.com/mimblewimble/grin-rfcs/blob/master/text/0017-fix-fees.md
Improve difficulty adjustment algorithm, as outlined in https://github.com/mimblewimble/grin-rfcs/blob/master/text/0018-fix-daa.md
(Partial) Parallel IBD: Preparation for support of an improved process for initial sync and download of blockchain data, as outlined in https://github.com/mimblewimble/grin-rfcs/blob/master/text/0020-pibd-messages.md

Wallet changes:
Late locking of outputs: Removing the need for outputs to be locked during transaction building before the final stage.
Remove http listener for external addresses: As per the deprecation announcement with v4.0.0, remove support for unsecured http listeners in favour of the slatepack 43 standard.

We are ready for the upcoming hardfork.


GRIN Mining Pool

Grin v5.0.0 network upgrade (Hard Fork 4) will happen at block height #1048320 (Approximately January, 15)

What will change with the new Hardfork?

1. Only slatepack addresses will be used. http(s) addresses are now disabled.
2. C29 algorithm will be terminated. Only Cuckatoo algorithm (C32) family remains.

Congratulations on a smooth upgrade to version 5!
(technically it was not a hard fork as the old code would simply refuse to accept any block at height 1048320)

Goodbye, members of the CuckARoo family. You successfully kept out ASICs over the past 2 years.

Meanwhile, I'm awaiting delivery of a Cuckatoo32 ASIC to be used for testnet mining.

What the timeframe for the ROI?

Given the difficulty of selling testnet Grin, ROI is negative:-(

Bummer, that'll change in a few months.

What is ahead of GRin now?

[oryhp]

There are a lot of ideas about what improvements could be done some of which are listed here https://github.com/mimblewimble/grin-pm/issues/385
This doesn't mean that all these will be done, I think it's unlikely we see some of these tackled for quite some time. The order in which these will be considered is not decided. The work on PIBD (parallel IBD) will most likely continue as it has already started. I'm most excited about the aggregator service because it will introduce a way of obfuscating the transaction graph. There have already been some nice ideas presented for example this one https://forum.grin.mw/t/daily-aggregator-partial-transactions/8260
