Is Vite a partner of GRIN and is this an official wallet?

Is Electrum a partner of BITCOIN and is Electrum an official wallet?

The answers would be the same.

I just read an announcement that a project called Vite which has its own wallet - the Vite Wallet can be used and set up to accept GRIN coins.

Thank you for sharing the article on Vite wallet, that should be confirmed by Grin coin team as it is a partner of Grin coin, or subproject from Grincoin, and this wallet provided by Vite wallet is secured to use or not. Even Grincoin team don't have any relation with Vite wallet team, the team should confirm the information as soons as possible, because in worst case, it will be bad if Grincoin enthusiasts lose their money on Vite wallet (in case they scam their users). I waited for Grincoin official confirmations.

In order to use it, you still need to download and run the node, read which commands you need to type for sending and receiving coins, understand a little in port forwarding, people are too lazy to do this, it’s easier to store on the exchange  Grin They want Send and Receive buttons  Grin

Having GUI wallet for windows or not, at the current period, does not matter.
It matters a lot. Where can Average Joe hold Grin? On exchange only. And we all know how bad decision is that. It's in first 3 advices you give someone ("don't keep your coins on exchange")
BTW, even terrible projects, some obvious scams and money-grabs have Windows GUI wallet.
So, the fact that Grin doesn't have it is intentionally for sure. Why? I'm not sure.

Here's a wild and crazy idea.

Maybe install Linux in a VM on your Windows machine, and run it that way ?

Also, the posts about people making web wallets just have me rolling my eyes, painfully backwards.

Not your keys, not your coins. Don't ever trust web custodial services.

windows wallet.

Doomed to see the future and unable to prevent it
I think that Beam has no premine (not 100% sure). I know for sure that they have some kind of dev tax on mining (20% or something like that).
But never mind, that's not the point. I just pointed out that Win wallet for mimble-wimble already exist, so I guess it's not too hard for skilled programmer to create one for Grin. (and Grin AFAIK have lot of skilled guys in team)

I think it has both and they wrap the pre-mine in a guise of "investment" lingo.

maybe if people FOMO-overbuy it and the price go too high I'll sell some so having it already in an exchange wallet maybe isn't that bad after all!
It's not bad idea, until that exchange get hacked or "get hacked". At that point, it's very bad idea. Smiley

Well....... being a single-GPU-miner+holder type of guy, a web wallet works just fine in my case until a Windows GUI wallet is released.
I can't remember when was the last time I used a non-GUI wallet, I'm too lazy to go back to that now!
Bittrex can hold my mined GRIN until then, maybe if people FOMO-overbuy it and the price go too high I'll sell some so having it already in an exchange wallet maybe isn't that bad after all!

I compiled the grin miner on Linux 18.04 VMWare, the standard setting was mining with CPU, that worked fine when I started grin-miner, and when I outline the cpu mining and start the GPU settings, it always says

It's not about what I'm going to do. It's what average user will do. Most of them doesn't know how to install Windows and you're talking about installing Linux in VM.

Who mentioned web wallets? I didn't for sure.
That's worse than holding coins on exchange, so let's not even talk about that.

Web wallets are the most terrible type of crypto wallets, in my opinion. Especially those web wallets provide by un-known, un-reliable providers. Especially web wallets are available with new-launched coins. In general, I always avoid to use web wallets, and don't spend my time to consider who are providers of those wallets. Losing control of private keys or disclosing them to third parties always one of the worst ideas to do in crypto.

Beam is mimble-wimble too and they have wallet, so it's nothing new and too hard. (I guess forking Beam wallet is an option too if someone want to do it)
Yeah, yeah, I know, why don't I build one when it's not hard? Well, because my coding skills are on basic level, so I can just wait, like 99.9% of community.

Beam is Pre-Mined.

I think, that in this case it is really worth waiting. it may take a while. but this is important. everything is valuable for a long period of time. and it is worth it. we will wait for such results.

Yes totally agree with you.
It's not the best idea to keep the coins in exchanges. Not save enough.
And for more investors that newly discover Grin, the first thing they would like to do is to download a wallet.
But I've no idea how hard it takes to develop a GUI wallet, maybe someone could support them together.

I try to mine grin on f2pool. There is grin-29 and grin-31. Which one of them should i choose?
There are some Grin (GRIN) Mining Calculators on the web. Select the one more profitable.

Grin: What to mine?
Cuckatoo31+ vs. Cuckaroo29

Maybe, whales don't want so many people can access easy wallets to use, and catch more intention of investors. Grin coin, basically a very potential good altcoins. Over years, this is the first altcoin theymos have big interests. Additionally, there is no easy way to make a fortune, right. People have to pay a cost if they want to build their own fortune, self-made fortune. Grin coin Windows GUI wallet will appear at the right period, at which the coin will take off.

This is so obvious, that I believe they won't build it intentionally in this phase of coin.
Having GUI wallet for windows or not, at the current period, does not matter. The main reason (in my opinion) is Grin coin has decreased to its very solid foundation of price, and it get good demands in current range around 40000 satoshis. Hence, I believe from that range, Grin coin will solidly recover, but its recovery will take time to fully confirm and finish.
