Grin: Cannot print address?

[iljah]

https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/2217 shows examples of grin (not IP) addresses but it doesn't seem to be possible to obtain those from command line client. For example https://github.com/mimblewimble/docs/wiki/How-to-use-the-Grin-wallet doesn't mention (grin) addresses at all. How can I see my address after running grin wallet init?

The commit (https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/2217/commits/05f6c87e4ce7119c700d82826314709321fad8e4) adds grinbox addresses. Grinbox support is not yet integrated in the default wallet, but is working with https://github.com/vault713/wallet713.

You may want to make this clear to your users.

Thanks, I'm not affiliated with bisq nor with grin. I was thinking about buying grin using bisq but I'd need to know my (grin) address for that...

@iljah You don't need to know your Grin address as there is no Grin address. But you need to have a Grinbox address to trade Grin on Bisq. Check https://grinbox.io to know how to get one.

[iljah]

So is it impossible to buy/sell grin over bisq by using just https://github.com/mimblewimble/grin? If yes, is this temporary? Your should probably also check out https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/issues/2261

E: impossible without revealing my ip address to everyone using bisq

[mably]

Yes, it's impossible at the moment and will probably stay like that for some time to come.

You might have to wait until vault713 supports Tor: https://github.com/vault713/wallet713/issues/44

@iljah if you use the open source wallet713, you will have a grinbox address. Your IP would be exposed to the grinbox relay (unless you use a VPN of course), but it would not be exposed "to everyone using bisq". The only thing you reveal to bisq users is your grinbox address. Feel free to drop in to our dedicated Gitter chat if you like, happy to answer more questions.

@lehnberg can Keybase be used to hide our IP address with wallet713?

[lehnberg]

@mably using keybase means the grinbox relay does not see your IP, but instead the keybase servers do. So it’s essentially the same thing, and a question of which service the users trust most with their IP.

[mably]

Ok, it looks like Keybase can be used with Tor. Will have to give it a try.

[iljah]

Thanks, guess I'll have to take a look at 713.

@lehnberg Do you know if any binaries are scheduled for wallet713 (for the noobs like me!)? Thanks

[lehnberg]

@mickaphd we'll try to provide, but no promises! you can track progress in https://github.com/vault713/wallet713/issues/61

[mickaphd]

Thanks much! And good luck for next week ;-)
