From b49f2f4cf905be81a64b038a7de9f7d7114186e1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: butler Date: Sat, 4 Jul 2026 03:45:42 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Swap Nym mixnet references to Tor MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The wallet's transport moved from the Nym mixnet to embedded Tor (Nym's free-tier bandwidth is being removed upstream and the paid path needs a token — not a foundation for a payments wallet). Update the marketing copy and privacy policy to match: the "Mixnet, built in" feature card is now about Tor, the payment-rail diagram and hero copy no longer claim a 5-hop mixnet, and nym.com links point to torproject.org instead. --- index.html | 27 ++++++++++++++------------- privacy.html | 10 +++++----- 2 files changed, 19 insertions(+), 18 deletions(-) diff --git a/index.html b/index.html index 87ce35c..df3e804 100644 --- a/index.html +++ b/index.html @@ -4,10 +4,10 @@ Goblin — a private wallet for GRIN ツ - + - + @@ -42,7 +42,7 @@ Goblin is a private wallet for GRIN.
