On Oct 20 2016, a pseudonymous developer using the name Ignotus Peverell, announced in the bitcoin wizards IRC channel that he began work on a minimal implementation of the protocol, which he named Grin.

Ignotus Peverell is the wizard who was gifted the Cloak of Invisibility by Death.
Grin is short for the Gringotts Wizarding Bank.

<igno_peverell> I have a minimal implementation of MimbleWimble available. It's very far from complete but has the basics, included the summing of Pedersen commitments:

<igno_peverell> Any feedback or review is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Ignotus was joined on GitHub by other developers who took interest in the project, several of them bearing pseudonyms of other Harry Potter characters.

Several months after launch, Ignotus Peverell disappeared and has yet to return.
