* Starting to refactor test, adding http post to wallet sender * Implemented ability to run servers on different ports (mostly for testing), and implemented ability to post http requests directly to receiving wallets * Adding detailed instructions on running multiple servers on the same machine * Changes to build.doc to outline server running process * Removed unwanted debug statements * WIP Local server testing framework evolution * More refactoring of server pool, checked in because there's a problem * Added server reference structure, and ability to return server references from tests cleanly * Added simulate_parallel_mining test, which puts some artificial slowdown into test mining loops, and the difficulty can currently be watched in the log * Removing the ServerRef structure placed in earlier and replaced with a ServerStats structure, that just returns relevant info about the Server state without exposing it to the world |

Grin
Grin is an in-progress implementation of the MimbleWimble protocol. Many characteristics are still undefined but the following constitutes a first set of choices:
- Clean and minimal implementation, aiming to stay as such.
- Follows the MimbleWimble protocol, which provides great anonymity and scaling characteristics.
- Cuckoo Cycle proof of work (at least to start with).
- Relatively fast block time (a minute or less, possibly decreasing as networks improve).
- Fixed block reward, both over time and in blocks (fees are not additive).
- Transaction fees are based on the number of UTXO created/destroyed and total transaction size.
- Smooth curve for difficulty adjustments.

Status
Grin is still an infant, much is left to be done and contributions are welcome (see below). Check our mailing list archives for the latest status.
Contributing
Find an area you can help with and do it. Open source is about collaboration and open participation. Try to make your code look like what already exists and submit a pull request. If you're looking for additional ideas, the code includes TODO comments for minor to major improvements. Grep is your friend.
Additional tests are rewarded with an immense amount of positive karma. So is documentation.

Getting Started
To learn more about the technology, read our introduction.
To build and try out Grin, see the build docs.
Philosophy
Grin likes itself small and easy on the eyes. It wants to be inclusive and welcoming for all walks of life, without judgement. Grin is terribly ambitious, but not at the detriment of others, rather to further us all. It may have strong opinions to stay in line with its objectives, which doesn't mean disrepect of others' ideas.
We believe in pull requests, data and scientific research. We do not believe in unfounded beliefs.
