Too Long; Didn't Read
Mimblewimble was born in 2016, when an anonymous individual, going by the pseudonym Tom Elvis Jedusor (a character from the Harry Potter books), signed into a Bitcoin IRS research channel, dropped a <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/4vub3y/mimblewimble_noninteractive_coinjoin_and_better/" target="_blank">document</a> and signed out. The document contained information about a new blockchain proposition titled: Mimblewimble (also a reference to a Harry Potter). An updated <a href="https://download.wpsoftware.net/bitcoin/wizardry/mimblewimble.pdf" target="_blank">whitepaper of Mimblewimble</a> was published by Andrew Spoelstra on the 6th of October 2016.
