Highlights from this past week

News

Kingfish gets updated to 1.14 to upgrade a host of features and fix several bugs you can find the update details here .

Community member/developer, GhostinX, pushes code for a Kingfish update to the Bitgrin repository. This is an important milestone as we expand our community and welcome other developers to contribute to the project. The developer did a great job, and with this new update Kingfish runs extremely smoothly.

Bitgrin code is pulled into Grin. You can find the specific commit here .

Domains are fully migrated from Bitgrin.io to Bitgrin.dev. Along with this migration has come a new website for information on Bitgrin. This website is more functional and minimalist allowing visitors to access relevant info much quicker. You can check out the new website here.

Community

The competion comes to an end, over a dozen of submissions were sent ranging from visuals, to explainer videos to even a Bitgrin rap! In case you’d like to check out all the submissions you can go over to the Bitgrin discord in #contests to find them.

Hashrate remains steady around the 12-14k GPS level and starting to trend upwards as you can see in the chart below. Props to BitgrinFan as always for creating these Bitgrin Hashrate charts!

Wrap Up

This week was a big win for the community. We had our first guest developer come on board and contribute to the project, we had over a dozen individual submissions for the contest and Qtrade Eric hop on the Bitgrin discord server to discuss a potential* future listing.

Grin pulling in code from Bitgrin this past week is a great sign that we can collaborate together and both parties can bring forth valuable contributions to the table to improve the Mimblewimble protocol and bring Bitgrin to mass-adoption!
