>>>>> This has been a long time in the making and I couldn't be more proud of our team, our community and what we accomplished with Grin v1.0.0 (yes, we're sporting the scary v1). Now it's time to look ahead, and our commitment to keep pushing Grin and its community forward has never been stronger. We've made clear that we weren't here for the quick ICO, but rather to push the state of the art in what can be accomplished with a blockchain. We have many research directions to pursue, and intend to make Grin even more nimble and private than it already is. I'm excited just thinking about it!
>>>>> 
>>>>> We will continue to need your help. Many extremely talented individuals are working on this project, they will need support. And we will need help for some efforts, like audits or bounties for example. I hope that this launch proved again that we stand by our words and can deliver what we promise. In particular, Yeastplume is running another campaign [3]. As I'm sure you know he has been instrumental in getting Grin where it is today. This isn't an easy way to work when you have a family, but it guarantees he will keep exercising his skills (not only the drinking ones) for the benefit of the Grin community. So I hope you'll show him some support if you can (and if you can't, a nice word never feels bad).
