That Grin and Mimblewimble mean for the future of Bitcoin? Let's deal
Source:
This month promise to run one of the most anticipated cryptocurrency projects lately. The Grin team maintains complete privacy, wanting to reproduce the specifics of the transaction. There will be no or premining. The project will be the first network that utilizes cryptography Mimblewimble. In the long term it can greatly affect the future of privacy .
theGrin and Beam will please supporters privacy
Both projects use the Mimblewimble – a type of cryptography, the use of which will significantly facilitate private transactions. The attention of Bitcoin enthusiasts more confined to a Grin. One reason of interest lies in the fact that the successful application of new privacy protocols could potentially pave the way for the adoption of similar technology or projects .
The most attentive members of the community have noted the similarity of the Grin start with launches Bitcoin and . Grin stands for most anonymous team, the project does not provide remuneration to the founders. However, there is a spirit of community, which dates back to the early days of Bitcoin, when supporters were more interested in creating something useful, rather than posturing and increasing profits. Although the Grin will certainly attract a fair share of speculators, the key point of the project is in technology. At least, the description on the website creates a certain perception.
theThe Grin neither the amounts nor addresses. Transactions can be mounted… it is not controlled by any company or Foundation or natural person. The distribution of coins will be as fair as possible (but without rewards), what is possible.
the Magic and mystery of Mimblewimble

At the heart of Grin and Beam, which is described as confidential scalable cryptocurrency inherent encryption Mimblewimble. Named after spells from the Harry Potter universe, which does not allow the opponent to deceive you, Mimblewimble allows you to remove most of the data about previous transactions in the blockchain. The first time the technology was mentioned in the IRC channel #-wizards in 2016 by the developer under the pseudonym of Tom Elvis Jedusor. It is a real name Volan de mort of books about Harry Potter in French.
As explained by Jordan Clifford in Behind Mimblewimble, technology combines all transactions within the block one.
Here we use a modified version of a Confidential Transaction, which allows you to store balances as a cryptographic record and not visible to the public amount.
Because Mimblewimble eliminates the usual addresses, the sender and the receiver essentially has to agree to the transaction before the action will be recorded in the network. Given the fact that the transmitted amount will be hidden from the eyes of a third party will be very difficult to track participants in a transaction. This contrasts sharply with the Bitcoin where "voyeurism" is very common.
theMimblewimble What does it mean for Bitcoin?

As with many cryptographic technologies over the last decade, Mimblewimble origins can be traced back to the Bitcoin. First, to conceal transactions it uses the technology of the Dandelion, which was originally developed for Bitcoin. Given the decentralized structure of the Bitcoin network is not updated so often and without any global changes. For example, on the principle of «don't touch anything until it works».
Bitcoin is still far from introducing the technology truly confidential transaction. However, many believe that it never will happen at least because of extensive interest on the part of institucionales and regulators. Much higher probability to first observe the implementation of technology scaling in the form of signatures Snorra that will help to avoid spam attacks. However, it can serve as a trigger for the implementation of Coinjoin or alternative technologies for privacy enhancement based on Mimblewimble.
Given the potential benefits to the Bitcoin network with the ability to implement systems that are more sensitive transactions, it is not surprising that Grin and Beam attract so much attention. The launch of the mainnet network Beam were previously moved to 3 January, and the Grin set in the plan on January 15, 2019. As noted by the developers, both network as close as possible to experience the opportunities Mimblewimble after 2.5 years of development. More data to search for .
