Thanks. I am surprised it wasn't already taken by someone, heh.

I would be happy to eventually get a start on ValueShuffle and all things
Schnorr. I have little experience with Rust, so I better start off with
becoming more familiar with the language first.
The holdup on Schnorr, as far as I am aware, is the 'cancellation' problem
mentioned in [1]. There is a paper supposedly being written to prove the
security of 'de-linearization' to address the problem. Maybe Andrew knows a bit
more about this? Anyways it is probably best to wait on a Schnorr implementation
in Grin until the fix is reviewed and merged upstream in libsecp256k1.
For the meantime I will scavenge the codebase for smaller things to do and
familiarize myself with Grin.
