Monero Talk broadcasts weekly conversations on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/c/monerotalk) with topical guests to understand what the Monero cryptocurrency is today and what it hopes to become.
We strive to give birth to new Monero users by simply reporting on the facts in our search to answer the question--Is Monero the truest cryptocurrency of them all? In staying true to the Monero ethos, we aim to always be skeptical. While we are Monero Talk by name, and Monero devotees at heart, the intention of the show is to ultimately discover and support the one blockchain that is most aligned with the original cypherpunk and crypto-anarchist ideals that cryptocurrency was born from. And the one that is most likely to succeed at becoming true digital cash. So far, we believe Monero is the one.
Guests include:
The developers and researchers working on the open source core protocol and the cryptography behind it;
The people building the projects and infrastructure supporting the protocol;
Privacy advocates and people building privacy enhancing technologies;
Analysts and investors speculating on Monero's growth;
Journalists and pundits weighing in on Monero's place in the crypto-sphere; and
Respected (sometimes controversial) contributors and community members.
If you enjoyed the show & would like to support us, a donation of any size would be greatly appreciated and would mean so much!

    TODAY'S SHOW: In part two of Douglas Tuman’s interview with Andrey starts with a discussion about cryptonote white paper author, Nicolas van Saberhagen, aka the Satoshi of Monero, and his potential thoughts on Monero and Zano and what he may think about how the CryptoNote protocol has evolved since inventing it.


    The conversation delves into Zano's confidential assets feature and use cases such as creating a privacy-focused stable coin and decentralized bridges for exchanging assets from other blockchains. They also cover regulatory challenges and the project developments that make Monero and Zano censorship resistant.

    TODAY'S SHOW: In part one of this two part episode, Douglas Tuman interviews Andrey Sabelnikov (aka Zoidberg) who worked alongside cryptonote inventor Nicolas Van Saberhagen as the lead developer of the first implementation of the Cryptonote protocol and who went on to create Zano — which can most simply be categorized as a privacy coin version of Ethereum.


    Andrey discusses the recent breakthrough enhancements Zano has implemented with its most recent hardfork, Zarcanum. They discuss many new concepts related to Monero and Zano including the concept of confidential assets and private proof-of-stake consensus, and the bold claim that Monero will one day become proof of stake. Andrey even mentions recent conversations with Nicolas Van Saberhagen regarding his take on proof of stake and Monero in general.

We are talking about digital cash

Monero is freeze peach money.

Shoeless Juan Jackson ,

Blissfully ignorant

My Tuman is a talented host of this podcast. He is, of course, devoted to the first mover in the privacy space…….Monero! That’s all fine, but he often has guests that he discusses the issues with and they either deceptively or blissfully ignorant that Pirate Chain ($ARRR) has the tech that he is looking for. For example, a recent guest and he discussed Monero and z-cash as if nothing else exists. All his disappointments with Monero are settled with the adoption of Pirate Chain. Wake up buddy!

Trash analysis

Hey, if you want to trash talk Bitcoin because you have Monero bags I get it, but have an actual discussion with Bitcoin users if you plan on having a proper debate. Just saying Monero is better because you think it’s more fungible is disingenuous. All I hear on this podcast is badmouthing bitcoin amongst Monero maximalists. Listen at your own discretion
