 GRIN MAY 2022 Late week News and Developments

  GrinPost MAY 2022 #2

[Cekikafa]

  Discussing three options and select one for bounty.

 At Grin meetings, discussed the possibility of introducing a Bulletin Board system for Grin as sugested by @satoshocrat.

 The purpose of a Bulleting board is for users to be able to share information while they are offline. These are not non interactive transactions, but are a solution that allows those users who do not like having their wallet

 online, or those who do not like to share their slatepacks via email or other known channels, to share that information.

 Details at forum;
 
GRIN Bulletin Board selection and BOUNTY !

Satoshi made an interesting comment on this very forum in 2010 [1].
I was curious what exactly he was complimenting and while reading the main post from user @Red, I was able to recognize the design structure he wanted to describe. If anyone is interested in a short story that explains what the two were talking about, it is now documented [2]. It's not a mistake I'm posting this here, they were discussing a chain format that takes a step towards a block having only commitments rather than plain data, which is the path Mimblewimble/Grin also take.

In case you spot a mistake, let me know and I'll gladly correct it.
