It does seem like it would be a nightmare to incorporate MimbleWimble into an exisiting cryptocurrency network. Maybe it's easier for a new crypto to incorporate it from Day 1 than it would be for an existing crypto to backfit or retrofit it. At least Litecoin proved to the world that it can be done.
I wonder if any other cryptos are using MimbleWimble. If not, then that can be its Unique Selling Point (especially when people compare it to Bitcoin).
While Litecoinis a hard fork of Bitcoin, who knows how many upgrades and network modifications took place over the last 10 years or so. For a cryptocurrency which doesn't do much (since nearly all the action is on the buyer side), Bitcoin itself has undergone changes over many years.
If Bitcoin can use MimbleWimble, can Dogecoin be far behind? Dogecoin is a hard fork from Litecoin, so it is in the realm of possibility.
I honestly have no idea. It seemed like it was a nightmare for Litecoin...two years plus in the making.
It would be interesting to know though.

I would imagine that since Litecoin is a fork of Bitcoin that means the others can use it.
But that is just a guess, no way of knowing for certain.
