**MimbleWimble Coins (Grin & Beam):**
**Receiver Privacy: 700/1000** - No addresses = decent privacy but transaction graph analysis still possible
**Sender Privacy: 650/1000** - Cut-through helps but interactive transactions leak timing data
**Amount Privacy: 850/1000** - Confidential transactions hide amounts well, but range proofs add bloat
**Network Privacy: 300/1000** - Dandelion++ helps but small user bases kill anonymity sets
**Network Security: 800/1000** - Solid cryptography, been around long enough to find major bugs
**Scalability: 900/1000** - This is where MW shines. Cut-through makes blockchains actually shrink over time
**The MimbleWimble Reality:**
Grin is crypto's biggest "what if" story. Brilliant tech, launched fairly with no premine, then... crickets.
Beam tried the VC route with better UX but still nobody cares.
MW's interactive transactions are cancer for adoption. Imagine explaining to normies why they can't just send coins like every other crypto.
The no-addresses thing sounds cool until you realize exchanges hate it and most people want persistent identities anyway.
MW is like designing the perfect bicycle in an age of cars. Elegant solution to the wrong problem.
