Hey there!

I represent WoolyPooly mining pool. Recently we've added Grin.

For miners from Europe and Russia:
grin.woolypooly.com:12000 if you want to mine PPLNS
grin.woolypooly.com:12001 if you want to mine SOLO
For miners from USA and Canada:
grin.us.woolypooly.com:12000 if you want to mine PPLNS
grin.us.woolypooly.com:12001 if you want to mine SOLO

We are a brand new pool on our own engine, PPLNS and SOLO rewards system.

We support https, TOR and file payouts.

Fee is low, just 0.9%. Vardiff feature. Nicehash support.

US and EU dedicated servers with low latency.

Sorry, I thought it was an obvious joke. Grin does not have a CEO nor a marketing department. Let me copy some a part of the updated description on https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/grin/

Grin is fully open-source and community-driven. There is no single entity behind it, Grin’s development is funded by donations as well as done voluntarily by contributors. Everybody can discuss, influence, or work on its development.

Well, that sounds like a scary bit of time there!

Glad you got it all sorted.

Thanks for transparency. Interesting read.
Though admittedly I got baffled after "As you may know....." 
Then as I continued down the nodemaskrandom42cyclegraphedgecukeroony rabbit hole, it turned my poor brain into a curled up pretzel.  So, um...no...I didn't notice the bug.

On a more serious note, thanks again dude. Keep up the great job.

Why are the dev funds not being allocated to UI wallet support? It sounds like David will no longer be working on Grin++ and honestly, who can blame him? He had to go to Charlie Lee to get funding for a security audit while you're rolling in years of funding.

Dear core devs,

You had how many bitcoins donated so far? Spread it out amongst the most useful people in the Grin community. Voting for each other to get more funding isn't very ancap of you.

On that note, if we're funding devs is there not a contract in place? Seems people can walk at any time without doing work and not much happens in the way of getting the money back or having the work done eventually. Why is there zero transparency on this glaring breach of contract (if there are contacts)? If you need help from the community just ask.

Oh and what happened to the ZEC and Grin wallets that Igno had access to? Obviously not multisig right? So... He's still the only one with access to them, right? Were they given back? Does someone else have access?

You got everything right at the beginning of this whole experiment. Things are starting to slip (and I'm not just talking about the price - oof). It's time to take a step back and re-evaluate the current situation.

I agree that we need wallets with a nice UI, but I think throwing funds at wallets makes sense only after we have somewhat stable transaction building. The transaction building process still keeps changing very often. I think it's best to first make it stable to avoid the need to fund multiple rewrites until we get it right.

Voting for each other to get more funding isn't very ancap of you.

I've not seen any evidence about the council predetermining the outcomes of funding requests. You can disprove this by:
1. Providing screenshots of this happening
2. Having a very clear and obvious disagreement on a public meeting where the council overrides the outcome

If you don't have any of the above, it means they are baseless accusations in which case I'd ask you to please stop spreading such views. Also, council members are free to discuss and form their opinion in a private chat.

Sure, Grin probably has some problems that it needs solving. But the single most detrimental thing I've seen on Grin is a part of the community being stuck in a negative loop which they keep reinforcing. It's very easy to get stuck in negative thoughts and complain about things, but that's very unproductive and definitely not a good way to solve the issues. A good first step would be to stop with the "council is malicious" mentality that is getting pushed and instead realize that we all want the best for Grin, we just don't necessarily agree what best is. I'm sorry I turned my response into this, but I feel it needs to be said after seeing this narrative being pushed around several times.

There's already a plan in place for slatepacks. Maybe do some more reading. There's also many working UI wallets but the devs are dropping like flies because the core devs hoard everything for themselves.

What are you going on about? Did you vote? I didn't. Nor did anyone in the community.

This is public information. Go find it yourself. Hint: try the grin forum.

There are recurring public meetings on which different things (including funding requests) are discussed and yes, I did express my opinion on funding requests on keybase, multiple times. I invite you to join next time and you'll see it is not as bad as it seems to you

[Pro_David]

It is clear that the project cannot develop without funding. And the fact that there are people who help in the development of Grin, I do not see anything wrong.

Underperformed even this bull market.Listed many exchanges but no demand.

Hashrate stalled since last year and so called asic manufacturers dont care anymore.

It's hard for demand to increase for Grin because of the slow declining inflation rate the longer Grin has been around the less the inflation rate matters.
But because it is so new now the inflation rate is such a  large amount of the supply its just not a good store of value early on.
I bought some GRIN just in case but I feel like I am going to lose value in the short term.
