That's Andrew Poelstra, the author of the current version of Mimblewimble as we know it today, he explains the original protocol and the changes he made and the trade offs. It really is a brilliant protocol, it lives to this day in a coin called Grin, as well as in some other stuff like litecoins mweb and some other things out there.
Grin is cool, but the community sucks so it's just withering. It had a ton of potential, and still does if someone can turn that stagnant community around, and a few absolutely brilliant people that built some really cool stuff. Their mining algorithm for example is a work of pure genius, from a legit genius.
If you had read the thread, you would know that we've covered that stuff, and the point I was trying to make is that you can accomplish more by either building on or attacking bitcoin. You're accomplishing nothing by avoiding bitcoin. If you want to attack it, fine, but make it a real attack. Exploit something. Knock something over. Your defeatism is why you are ineffectual and why you avoid bitcoin.
