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!

Monerotopia 2023 - El Dinero de la Gente May 5 - May7 in Mexico City! We had AMAZING Speakers lined up: freedom seekers on a mission to build out a true digital cash parallel economy outside of State control.
Speaker:
Abudllah Khan (Co-founder and Developer of Monero Nodo)
In this talk, Abdullah Khan discusses the development of a custom hardware stack for Monero nodes. The hardware configuration includes an OCTA-core processor, 16 GB of RAM, and a one terabyte SSD. The chipset is designed for portability and low power consumption. The implementation focuses on security, with the node running natively on Linux. The hardware includes features like a touchscreen for node control, USB ports for flexibility, and a dedicated recovery button. The custom case is designed for heat management and a long lifecycle. He also addresses the potential use of idle GPU power for transaction processing and acknowledges the global collaboration involved in the project. The emphasis throughout is on providing a seamless and secure Monero node experience.

Monerotopia 2023 - El Dinero de la Gente
Speaker: Seth For Privacy (Host of Opt Out Podcast)
Privacy advocate and host of Opt Out podcast–Seth for Privacy, reflects on his experience within the Monero community over the past five years. He acknowledges the need for introspection, highlighting the challenges faced by the Monero community, including negative interactions, gatekeeping tendencies, and a lack of recognition for individuals who contribute significantly to the project.
He emphasizes the significance of building bridges with other communities, fostering openness to new ideas, and welcoming collaboration for a more comprehensive impact, discussing instances where engagement with other privacy-focused projects, such as Zcash, faced aggressive backlash within the Monero community. The talk touches upon these challenges, toxic behaviors, and the importance of balance in shaping Monero's culture to attain the goal of long-term sustainability.
The talk concludes with a call to action for community members to actively contribute, welcome new ideas, recognize and appreciate contributors, and build connections beyond the typical Monero circles for the continued growth and success of the project.
