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 this episode of Monero Talk, Douglas Tuman chats with Vik Sharma, founder of Cake Wallet, about the wallet's milestone of 1 million downloads and 450,000 monthly active users. Vik shares how Cake Wallet, initially a Monero-only wallet, has expanded to support Bitcoin, Litecoin, and more—while staying true to its open-source and privacy-focused roots.

The conversation covers Cake Wallet's relationship with the Monero community, privacy coins' growing attention (especially Zcash), and why Monero remains the preferred choice for actual use. The episode wraps up with thoughts on how Monero can stay ahead in the privacy space and the goal of creating a global peer-to-peer economy where people can "live off Monero."

The Privacy Coin Surge: How Monero, Zcash, and Others Are Competing — w/ Diego Salazar | EPI 366

Any donation is greatly appreciated!

TODAY'S SHOW: This episode of Monero Talk features the CypherStack team — CEO Diego Salazar and mathematicians Brandon “Surae” Goodell and Luke — for a deep dive into Monero’s Full Chain Membership Proofs (FCMPs) and how they compare to Zcash.

CypherStack is a privacy-focused research and development company behind Stack Wallet. Diego handles strategy while Brandon and Luke lead the mathematical research for Monero. They discussed their contributions to FCMPs, a major upgrade aimed at improving Monero’s privacy and scalability. While critics from the Zcash community call FCMPs “unproven,” the team explained that it uses well-established mathematics, not untested theory.

They also compared Monero’s community-driven model with Zcash’s corporate structure, noting strengths and trade-offs in both approaches. Despite praising Zcash’s Halo 2 privacy tech, they argue Monero’s privacy-by-default design gives it a real-world edge.On timelines, Diego said FCMPs are “three steps from the finish line” but still tackling technical challenges. The episode ends with a candid look at funding struggles in open-source development and a call for continued community support.

JP of THORChain on Becoming the Decentralized On-Ramp Monero Needs | EPI 365

Any donation is greatly appreciated!

TODAY'S SHOW: In this episode of Monero Talk, Douglas Tuman talks with JP from THORChain to discuss the project’s renewed effort to integrate Monero (XMR) into its decentralized cross-chain liquidity protocol. JP explains why an earlier 2022–2023 integration attempt stalled due to limitations in Monero's old multisig system and security concerns, and reveals THORChain is now developing a new threshold signature scheme to make Monero swaps trust-minimized and scalable. He outlines an expected rollout through the Vultisig wallet, stagenet, and finally mainnet by Q1 2025.

The conversation explores the role of privacy in crypto, competition and collaboration with projects like Serai and Haven, and THORChain’s return to its core mission as a decentralized custodian network. JP emphasizes Monero's importance for financial sovereignty and future AI-driven economies, and invites the Monero community to contribute to the integration effort.

TODAY'S SHOW: In this episode of Monero Talk, host Douglas Tuman speaks with Juraj, a self-described “shaman” of the crypto world who bridges different blockchain communities. Together, they dive into the contrasts and common ground between Monero and Zcash, exploring both the technical and cultural dynamics of the leading privacy coins.

Juraj discusses Zcash’s growing DEX integrations through Zashi Wallet and Near Intents, while Doug shares his experience with a failed swap attempt. They compare this with Monero’s ongoing DEX efforts like Sarai and potential Thorchain integration, highlighting the shared goal of improving usability and interoperability.

The two also unpack each project’s funding models, mining approaches, and community cultures, debating decentralization, security, and the future of privacy in crypto. Juraj emphasizes that real adoption often depends more on social dynamics than technical merit, and that long-term holders give privacy coins their true value.

Monero FCMP++ and CARROT Stressnet Goes Live Oct 3 w/ Dev Jeffro256 | EPI 363

TODAY'S SHOW: In this episode of Monero Talk, host Douglas Tuman interviews Monero developer Jeffro256. They dive into Monero’s upcoming Carrot protocol upgrade and Full Chain Membership Proofs (FCMP++), two major advancements in privacy and security.

Jeff shares his path into Monero, from early mining experiments in 2017 to contributing as a developer. He explains how Carrot fixes vulnerabilities like the burning bug and Janus attack, while adding features such as outgoing view keys and offline address generation.

The conversation then shifts to FCMP++, with a stress test network launching soon. This upgrade will expand Monero’s anonymity set from 16 to around 150 million—an unprecedented leap in privacy. They also cover Monero’s response to recent Qubic mining attacks, Tevador’s “publish or perish” proposal, comparisons with other privacy coins like Zcash, and future directions including quantum resistance and confidential assets.

TODAY'S SHOW: In this episode of MoneroTalk Douglas Tuman sits down with Monero Matteo for a discussion on Monero and its future. Matteo shares why he seldom does interviews, his work as an accountant specializing in Monero, and the challenges of helping businesses adopt privacy-focused tools.

They dive into Monero’s potential for decentralized capital markets, business-friendly features like view keys and transaction tagging, and hurdles such as accessibility and accounting integration. The discussion also explores Monero’s philosophy—privacy as resistance to surveillance, the role of proof-of-work, and the community’s “big tent” culture. The episode closes with reflections on freedom, ethics, and Monero’s role in protecting human autonomy.

Monero Talk
If It Isn’t PoW, It Isn’t Decentralized w/ Dr. K | EPI 361

TODAY'S SHOW: In this episode of Monero Talk, host Douglas Tuman interviews Dr. K, a proof-of-work researcher with over eight years of experience. They dive into Monero’s ongoing “qubic attack,” where mining pool Qubic controls ~35% of the network’s hash rate and causes chain reorganizations.

Dr. K, whose background spans ConsenSys, Grid Plus (creator of the Lattice One wallet), and a National Science Foundation grant for PoW research, proposes a fix: work shares. By sampling multiple proofs per block instead of one, work shares make the network resistant to attacks from miners with less than 51% hash power. Dr. K is already drafting a pull request to add this to Monero’s code.The discussion also explores why Dr. K views proof-of-work as superior to proof-of-stake—emphasizing immutability, permissionlessness, and competitive fairness—and his own project, Quiet Network (QUI), a scalable PoW blockchain with an energy-based token (QI) designed for stable purchasing power.

Monero Talk
Vini Barbosa’s unfiltered take on the Monero selfish mining attacks and PoW | EPI 360

TODAY'S SHOW: In this episode of Monero Talk Douglas Tuman has a discussion with Vinny Barbosa, a Brazilian crypto writer and privacy advocate, about the current challenges facing the Monero network, particularly the ongoing selfish mining attacks by the Qubic pool.

The conversation explores both short-term and long-term solutions, including the proposed "Publish or Perish" soft fork to disincentivize selfish mining, defensive mining strategies, and the controversial idea of incorporating proof-of-stake elements or a finality layer to enhance network security. Vinny argues that while Monero’s proof-of-work and ASIC resistance are valuable for decentralization and permissionless mining, all proof-of-work systems are inherently vulnerable to such attacks, and the community should remain open to researching hybrid or alternative consensus models without ideological dogma.

The dialogue emphasizes the importance of open debate, technical innovation, and community resilience in navigating Monero’s current crisis, while also touching on broader themes of digital cash, sovereignty, and interoperability with other privacy and scalable cryptocurrencies like Zcash and Nano.

Monero Talk
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!
