According to Lehnberg, a member of the anonymous Grin developer committee, on the official forum, the Grin development fund received a mysterious donation of 50 BTC on November 12. The anonymous donor once donated 50 BTC to the grin development fund in May of this year. The donor was a BTC "ancient god" from the period of 2009-10. According to the donated addresses, it can be found that these addresses participated in the early BTC mining activities. The earliest activities were from 2009 to 2010. At that time, BTC had just been established for less than two years. There were not many people who knew about BTC, let alone participated in BTC mining activities. Miners. And because the Grin project has a certain "encrypted idealism", it is more in line with Satoshi Nakamoto's original vision for BTC. People speculate whether Satoshi Nakamoto is still supporting the development of the crypto community in a special way.

The anonymous donor wrote:

"I know how you guys treated your last donation, which is why I reached out to you guys. I'm not going to judge how you spend the money, just want to make sure you're taking care of it and distributing it as needed.

It's like going back to 2009 and 2010. Don't worry, you guys are doing great.

Now that we have GRIN, we feel great, our motivation is not economic, but about technology and protocol, please use this fund to develop GRIN, please continue to work as in the past. We see your work, and your love for this project. That's how we honor these donations now so that you can develop on GRIN to your heart's content without worrying about financial issues.

Thanks again for your work and please keep it up. Hope our judgment is right, time will tell us the answer. "

The address used by this mysterious donor has not had any transactions in 9 years, and he donated all the BTC to the Grin development team as soon as he made the move. Litecoin founder Li Qiwei also exclaimed in the Telegram group after learning of the news : "Almost 9 years between transactions. crazy." (almost 9 years between transactions. crazy.)

Whether this donor is Satoshi Nakamoto himself, we can only guess based on the existing clues, the truth may never be known, but anonymous tokens are undoubtedly the ultimate dream of every encryption token enthusiast.

Anonymous tokens and underlying transaction privacy protection technologies have always been small and beautiful in the blockchain world. When it enhances the anonymity of digital tokens, it also leaves people with a mysterious reverie, and it is also an object that the government has always hoped to supervise but is difficult to obtain.
