Regarding the POW post, it seems it has turned out to be the first Grin Improvement Proposal.

https://www.grin-forum.org/t/grin-improvement-proposal-1-put-later-phase-outs-on-hold-and-rephrase-primary-pow-commitment/4653

I wanted to bring up that we should probably move these proposals in git (either in mimblewimble/grin or a net-new repo dedicated to proposals).

I solemnly recommend to the community that we shorthand Grin Improvement Plan to GRIP, which can be short for Griphook, the name of a goblin who worked at gringotts and knew weaknesses in the banks security enough to break people in. Appropo. https://harrypotter.fandom.com/wiki/griphook

Also of c ourse we can tell people to ”get a GRIP.”

I’ll be here all week.

There was a question in the lobby regarding the ability to contribute to a specific project (Confidential Assets) rather than the general fund.

@lehnberg Regarding to 4 Proof of Work.

I would propose to use John's new post Grin Improvement Proposal 1: put later phase outs on hold and rephrase primary PoW commitment instead of Obelisk GRN1 Chip Details.

Good catch @garyyu, updated to clarify
