The Dev address and Premine address are public and can be tracked at anytime.  There has been absolutely zero coins from either sent to any exchange...so any dumping of "son" (whatever the hell that is) wasn't done by us.  Take 2 minutes to check things out before you post ignorance.  The beauty of blockchain...in 2 minutes time you could see where every coin we premined and the dev coins were sent.  Amazes me every day the people that "KNOW" things yet can't take a couple minutes to even attempt to check their so called facts.

This is as far from reasonable as I've ever seen in response to this.  You just now noticed?  We have discussed there being a swap coming for over 4 months.  Gave a date over 1.5 months ago.  The /n allowed 12 days for the actual swap procedure.  Basically, you had 4 months of time that with 5 minutes of time you would have realized there would be a swap.  You suggest that we allow people to stake their old GRIM for a year...them swap?

You say we deleted PoS...100% false.  PoS is still active.  You say we added nothing?  We added MasterNodes.

If you want to come here and FUD at least make an attempt to sound like you have a CLUE what you are saying.  If you bought GRIM and haven't bothered to check on your investment ANY for over 4 months...I can't feel sorry for you.

Anyone who knows or bothers to follow us, knows that we've bent over backwards in our efforts to give away coins, be 100% open/honest as we possibly can, and use all possible means of communication to let our community know what is happening with GRIM!!!

I am the most disappointed person out there when it comes to where we are vs wish we were in the markets...and I'll take whatever blame is necessary for that.  But to say we didn't notify people, we removed PoS, and didn't add anything...is one of 2 things...either pure FUD from someone who hasn't a CLUE what we do/have done/plan to do or...someone who bothered to read "swap" and nothing else after MONTHS of not taking 5 minutes to check on their investment.

As calm and restrained as I usually am...I'd suggest you bother to spend 30 seconds reading ANY annoumcent weve made over the past several months before posting FUD, or just move on.  Either way, this is the last 5 minutes I take away from my life responding to sheer and utter ignorance.

I apologize to anyone who reads this and takes offense...but GRIM is something that may not be the "next big thing", but something we've dedicated massive amounts of time and money in and won't let ignorance or whatever lessen this community or my team.

Not to mention the all time high was from a pump and dump group targeting us.  Naturally we wish it were higher, but we haven't given up and continue to work...just bare with us, we've got some things we are working on and when they become a bit more "solid", we will let everyone know!

715% current ROI!  Price is only up from here!

Most all coins have been swapped and we will be burning the rest of the premine as soon as we complete the CoinsMarkets swaps we have records for.  If you haven't received yours, but posted your information in Discord, be sure to jump back on Discord and message us with your new GRIM address!

We've contacted CMC with all the updated information, just waiting on them to update in their system.

The swap is complete.  We are getting a lot of people who happen to have missed the swap by just a few hours...I'm not doubting any 1 person...but when within 12 hours of the end date, 6 people JUST got home from vacations?  And throughout the day today we continue to get more.  Unfortunately, we won't be able to swap any coins after this point.  From our perspective...if we make an exception for 1 person...2 more come up tomorrow...another 3 days later...2 more a week later.  When do we draw that line?  What "reasons" are valid and not valid?  We have given everyone notice in Discord, Twitter, and here for over a month now, and the swap itself lasted 12 days.  Some made arrangements if they were going to be out of town or whatever...but if you didn't, there's nothing we can do.  We do apologize and understand things can happen, but please try to see it from our point of view...over a months notice, 12 (13 technically) days of actual swap and several reminders DURING the swap of it's end date.

We are in the process of manually swapping the CoinsMarkets coins that we have information on.

Be sure to check us out on the Talium Masternode Statistic page https://masternodes.talium.tech/grim.html

And grab those coins before the price goes too high and while there are still fewer MN online...now's the time!

5 days into the swap and all is going GREAT using the Talium Swap Bot!  We've also been added to the Talium Masternode Statistics site here : https://masternodes.talium.tech/grim.html

Swap has started in the GRIM Discord.  Check the #swap channel and the pinned message there for instructions.  Fully automated

Basically for the swap, we have 3 options.

1)  100% manual swap using a snapshot using block 405700.  This would likely literally take weeks and people wouldn't get swapped in time for PoS/MN rewards to pick up.

2)  100% manual swap using "whatever the chain shows" at the time of swap.  This would take a long time, but not "as" long.

3)  Automate as much of the swap as we could...manual where we had to.  This would take the least time.

Now, the issues we were running into...if we automated it using the snapshot, any wallets that staked after that snapshot "created" new addresses with those coins in them...and those new addresses wouldnt' be on the snapshot.  Turning the automated option into the "100% manual using snapshot"...and taking entirely too long.  And to be remotely fair to people, we had to eliminate that option (1st one above)...last and first to swap could see huge differences in MN/PoS gains.  Leaving us with 2 options...100% manual using current "up to date" chain information or automating it using the same, "up to date" chain information.

Basically, we are forced to swap using the chain that went OVER our max supply.  We discussed this A LOT today...and I personally will take the resposability for telling people to shut down their staking.  Naturally, those who stopped staking have less than they WOULD have had if I hadn't made that announcement.  We are still HOPING to have the automated process complete, but with this situation making every attempt we did at creating the bot not functioning, we've had to basically start over on the bot.  The hope is to have it complete...

In summary, we will swap based on the continuing block chain.  Again, I sincerely apologize for the issue this creates those who turned off staking.  Look for the swap to begin 7/19/2018 sometime after 12:00 pm EASTERN time.  We will post the exact procedure before we begin.  If you turned your staking off...TURN IT BACK ON.

Added to AsiaPool.  We've moved into the 5 block rewards for PoW!

Address letter has changed to lower case "g"...this hopefully will prevent some cross wallet coins being sent!

The block rewards are lower for PoS, however we reduced the block time to 60 seconds...so this will actually lead to more coins being produced every hour than original.

We have 2 MN online currently, this is to keep the PoS/MN chain running until swap.  Once we begin swap, we will pull these offline.

Website and the ANN will be updated in the next few days also.


Source and wallets : https://github.com/GrimReaperCoins/GrimMasterNode/releases/tag/v1.0

Mac wallet will be uploaded soon.  Use the above links for wallets...website isn't updated yet!  The wallet creates a new folder in the app/data directory...so you can run both chains at the same time until the swap!

I've personally gotten involved with XSD from both an investors side as well as development side.  Not that my words carry any more weight than the next person, but personally, I've spoken and met personally with the lead development on this before joining and investing...and for what it's worth, I know frphm to have a heart much bigger than most I've met in my life.  I personally believe with no doubt that SEED will do as advertised, and more.

PoW increase to 50 and PoS/MN increase to 50 in 30 blocks!

As many are aware, our old chain didn't stop at the max supply and is continuing to mint coins.  Given the new chain is up and running and exchanges have the new source, to avoid a delay in launch, we have decided to go this route...

We are doing a snapshot of the blockchain right when it hit the INTENDED max supply, this is what we will use to swap coins.  Anything minted after this block (around 10:00pm eastern time on July 12th) will not be eligible to be swapped.  Exchanges have placed their wallets in maintenance until the swap on the 19th.

The hope to have our swap bot ready and updated with this change...will keep everyone informed.

The algo will remain Scrypt.  We are working out a pool as well.

We are working on a script and guide both.

Of note there...we are currently mining (block reward of 10) and have 2 MN set up (reward 1) and a few PoS (reward .54) running.  This is to secure the chain prior to launch...all coins mined/gained from this will be given away in 1-3 give-aways to the community and 100% verifiable.  Also, to prevent the first few MN online from gaining too many rewards, there will be a week +/- of mining at 200 reward before MN's pick up and give their full rewards.  This is to have a fair launch for timezone differences etc...

Wallets and source will be released on July 19th.  We will also be releasing the details of the swap ASAP...we are working on a bot to automate it but want to make sure it's flawless before announcing that

Stocks.Exchange and TradeSatoshi are both going to swap any coins that are on their exchanges on the 19th.  We won't recommend or discourage this...I would think it's a safe way as both have done others in the past, but as with anything, anyone but yourself holding coins is always "some" risk.  Both exchanges will disable withdrawals tomorrow (July 11th) at some point during the day.  Stocks.Exchange will allow deposits up until the 19th however.  TradeSatoshi hasn't confirmed if they will allow deposits or not.  For the coins you hold personally, we are still working on a POSSIBLE easier solution than manual swapping, but we will announce this ASAP either way.  Full specs will be announced soon also.

In summary...SE and TS will both swap any coins on their exchange, but if you wish to withdrawal them, you need to do so today/tonight!

We will be updating our ANN thread soon with the updated coin specs, within the next day or 2.  Swap date is set for July 19th.  The exact procedure will be announced soon also.

We also want to take a minute to thank everyone for being a part of the GRIM community!  It's been almost 9 months and you've all hung in there with us!  How many other coins out there are folding under both in community and Dev activity after a month?  2?  3?  It's been nearly 9 months, and not only has the community still been active along with us, but we grow every day!  Every day there are new people joining our Discord.  Every day there are new people tweeting.  Every day there are more people buying GRIM coins.  And to think...this isn't even the tip of the iceberg on what we are going to do with GRIM and it's family!  So, let's continue to get the word out there...if each of us spent 5 minutes a day promoting GRIM (twitter, facebook, forums, in person to our friends, or 100 other ways) and 1 person joined the GRIM community...where will we be this time next year?

We plan to do a renewed promotion campaign after the swap...and we will try to do our part.  But the community is as important as we are in both spreading the word about GRIM and it's value!  I was asked just a few minutes ago in Discord what I thought the value of GRIM would be after the swap.  My response...Only YOU can decide that!  Think about that for a minute...whoever sets their sell price at the lowest point...decides that in a "simplified" form!  If you decide to sell for "X" satoshi...then someone thinking about buying must think that's what GRIM is worth.  Apply this to a coin with NO purpose and it's price could go up 100 fold.  Apply this to a coin like GRIM where we have a long-term future planned and real uses for it...and the sky's the limit!

So, in summary...we will continue to develop GRIM and it's family...and if you, the community, will continue to support us and promote your own investment, we can ALL make GRIM a coin to be reckoned with!

OH...have I mentioned it's been almost 9 months since we launched?!?!  I've been in crypto for a VERY long time...and that's an accomplishment that comes from both Dev AND community dedication!  Thank you all!

We've been very precise in every announcement we made concerning the swap that nothing was 100% certain and that we would run last minute calculations to confirm exactly what we needed to do.  It's one reason we were hesitant to release any information at all, but we felt people deserved to know as much as we could share, while again, every time we made sure to repeat that it could change.
