And i thought Grin won't launch it's mainnet anytime soon. But looks like the client is far from user-friendly and only mid-high end GPU can mine GRIN for now.

Any chance you'll accept another cryptocurrency (XMR, ETH or perhaps DOGE) soon?

XMR is possible, but probably not the others.

Great Smiley

Mimblewimble has privacy features, but it also has the first really impressive, true scaling solution in crypto. Privacy-wise, Monero is probably better overall, but its scaling is abysmal, and neither coin can be treated as an impenetrable black box.
Grin has succeeding in reducing the size of the blockchain. However, it's still limited to 10 TPS, so the more significant scaling problem remains.
With it's adaptive blocksize, Monero can process >10 TPS (up to 1,700 theoretically).

There's trade-off for higher TPS which is running full node at higher cost as you'd need higher computational power, more storage capacity, bigger RAM, etc.
