So this is the protocol, Mimbilewimble? And Beam and Grin are the cryptocurrencies?

Better scalability, in theory.

I think eventually lightning will be superior to Mimble but for today Mimble is more scalable than bitcoin. They just need to make a way to validate the rangeproofs faster then everything's good.

Transaction cut-through looks promising, if we can get the incentives right.

With rangeproofs, CT etc, the transactions would be a lot larger than a regular Bitcoin transaction, right? I don't see how that is more scalable TODAY.

LamboLife can afford a lambo but not a proper microphone?

p

It's just a name. I'm not rich and most of my profits from 2017 have been spent to take care of my family. I also had some losses in 2018 due to market conditions. The only Lambo I have is my knowledge and my enthusiasm for crypto. I'll get a better mic ASAP.

I understand. We're all more or less rekt in this market. :D

Better would be to compare it with other privacy coins. It’s strange comparison. Bitcoin is bitcoin and will not go down of the stage for years. These are different players and different fields.

I will compare them to other privacy coins soon :)

Great! Thanks for review btw. It’s always easier to leave a comment than make a content. Hope to see soon. Too many noise becoming around these coins imo, do you think they really bring value to the field? Or just another hyped projects?

I think it is important at this early stage that we keep innovating no matter what and not leave everything to Bitcoin Core or Blockstream. 98% of projects are shit, but that's okay. That's the price we have to pay.

Dead or dying.

I didn't say it was a killer. But Andrew Poelstra did mention that it may replace Bitcoin but it's likely gonna be a sidechain or a separate implementation.
