The foundation\u2019s latest <a href=\"https:\/\/litecointalk.io\/t\/litecoin-confidential-transactions-dedicated-fund\/26690\">post<\/a> explains:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;If Litecoin is going to be adopted by mainstream users and businesses, we need to provide financial privacy.

The other half is to finance Burkett\u2019s work on Grin++, an open-source wallet and node client for Grin that will be used in Litecoin\u2019s extension blocks \u2014 the foundation explained that for this reason, they had a vested interest in funding the development of Grin++.<\/p>\n<p>The fund is targeting a total of $72,000 to compensate Burkett at a rate of $6,000 per month for the next 12 months, as he will purportedly be working 30 hours a week split evenly between the two &#8220;mutually beneficial&#8221; projects.<\/p>\n<p>The Litecoin Foundation \u2014 which is headed up by Lee \u2014 has pitched in $5,450 worth of <a href=\"https:\/\/insight.litecore.io\/address\/MLos7u44mMq1ufgPJZTatEfPm3Kgxj5Nt9\">LTC<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/blockstream.info\/address\/3Bn4x7uceS76X56DX3cT3ecVphVdMAFi6Y\">BTC<\/a> to kickstart the crowdfunding effort, and at time of press has received 5 LTC (roughly $221) from donors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Litecoin Foundation has announced the creation of a dedicated fund to support the ongoing development of privacy features for Litecoin\u00a0and is calling for community members to donate.
