Grin question

Hi people,

My understanding is that Grin, (and mimble-wimble coins in general), doesn't have the same downside as XMR regarding a theoretically possible (even if not likely) silent inflation bug.

This is because rather than making everything un-see-able, they merely make every single transaction a giant coin-join. ....... so, Grin has the same assurance of no silent inflation bug as Bitcoin.

I know the privacy is no where near that of XMR, I'm just wondering about the theoretically possible silent inflation bug.

Is my understanding correct? thanks all!

@bro heavy topic lol
first things, just read their github (grin) they had "cut-through" things on it right? which mean they cut old transaction, isn't that make their more risk to get the silent inflation bug? if the origin of something is deleted, and the one that left was just "current" state, while monero, bitcoin, litecoin had full blockchain record

and yeah, just.... for the sake of argument we agree that ppl can make some silent inflation bug on monero, but i think if we also think the same for grin, it will be much more easier since they even delete the initial check right? if monero get those ppl, isn't the system like Borromean Ring Signatures will invalidate it? source https://www.getmonero.org/resources/research-lab/

seems much more calculation on it to proof some value and make it secure. and i sure most coin do that as fundamental base

if some node was compromised or malicious i think the other "sane" node will no longer agree on them or even add them to blocklist
