Mimblewimble Progress Update Thread – Development – Litecointalk Forum

This is all subject to change, but for now, here’s the plan between now and the end of Summer testnet launch: June: Wrap up mempool logic, and start mining valid chains with mw extension blocks, making sure all pieces work well together….The way initial block download is handled in mimblewimble is quite a bit different than how litecoin does it….Keep trucking David appreciate everything your doing​:raised_hands: Thanks for the updates and great work!…The high-level plan for the rest of the summer remains the same: July: Initial Block Download August: Chain reorg logic September: Activation logic and testnet launch Outstanding work David, always a treat to here your monthly updates Eagerly awaiting the next update !!…The biggest innovation behind mimblewimble is that, in order to verify the chain, you just need to know all of the unspent coins/outputs, and a small part of each transaction called the “Kernel.” These 2 things together are called the “chain state.” In bitcoin/litecoin, each block header uses a merkle tree to commit to only the transactions in that block….Thanks for the update David.
