Minglejingle: Scalable blockchain with non-interactive transactions

Can anyone of the Grin developers summarize again why Grin is not implementing Minglejingle (yet)?

It has so many downsides.

  1. it adds a huge amount of complexity, making Grin harder to understand and explain
  2. it bloats the chain
  3. it’s hard to mix with regular MW transactions
  4. it makes it easier to lose funds by sending to a wrong address
  5. it makes future 2nd layer transacting behave differently
  6. it requires scanning the chain to see if someone paid you
  7. it adds unneccesary friction to use cases that are naturally multisig, including atomic swaps and payment channels
