TODAY'S SHOW: Douglas Tuman interviews Rucknium, an empirical microeconomist and Monero Research Lab member specializing in probability and statistical analysis who has made some very impressive contributions to Monero. Including discovering a way to speed up monero transaction confirmations by 60 seconds!
In this first ever interview, Rucknium maintains his anonymity by typing his responses and having a monero friend sit in to read his answers. Tremendous thank you to Patchy319 for doing so!
The conversation centers around Monero’s privacy technology, scalability, and Rucknium’s contributions to the project. They highlight the challenges of Monero’s scalability, including node performance and transaction volume, as well as ongoing efforts to address these issues through StressNet, Network-level privacy solutions like Dandelion++ and potential improvements through the Clover protocol are also explored.
