Miksowanie jest c---a warte. Są "lepsze" i "gorsze" Bitcoiny. Te z "czystą kartą" są warte więcej od tych, które mogły być skażone kekeiną lub kradzieżą. #bitcon #grin #mimblewimble #kryptowaluty

Fungibility. Fungibility is the ability for equal units to be interchangeable. Let’s say I give you a dollar — either as a coin or a paper note. The Federal Reserve prints the paper dollar and the US Mint produces the coin dollar, but both are equal in value. Neither is lesser or greater than the other and you can chose to use a dollar coin or bill interchangeably. This is a key characteristic of currency: equal units must be interchangeable, or fungible. The US Dollar is fungible. Bitcoin is not.

The Bitcoin blockchain keeps every single input and output forever and so each coin carries a legacy. It’s similar to equation (9) above. Another dirty little secret is that when picking which transactions to process — in addition to the fee — payment processors, miners, and exchanges will look at the inputs (i.e. 7+3+5+4+2) to assess the quality of the transaction. The consequence is one bitcoin is not fungible with another. The most valued bitcoins are called “coinbase” which are the ones created when a block is found. They are newly minted and “clean” and some parties pay a premium to buy them. This creates a hierarchy in coin quality. The consequence is if you receive bitcoins that have inputs that are tainted (e.g. they have been used in a dark market), spending them may become increasingly difficult.
In MimbleWimble/Grin, because the (7+3+5+4+2) inputs and outputs are all discarded when spent, each coin is exactly equal to the other. In other words, Grin coins are interchangeable and fungible.
