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
Speaker: Dr. Julian Loss (Faculty at CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security, Germany)
In this talk, Julian Loss presents his recent work on a Holistic Security Analysis of Monero transactions, focusing on its transaction scheme, RingCT (Ring Confidential Transactions).
Dr. Loss addresses the central question of RingCT's security and the lack of a comprehensive security proof for the entire system. The talk covers components like ring signatures, commitments, range proofs, and stealth addresses, providing insights into Monero's privacy-focused approach!

TODAY'S 🎙SHOW: Douglas Tuman interviews Nopara, the creator of Bitcoin's Wasabi wallet who has announced is he moving on from being the face of the project and will pursue other things.
The two discuss the need for uncensorable digital cash and what it will take to make it both unstoppable and user friendly, Does Monero already serve this purpose? What challenges are currently being faced by Bitcoin if it is digital cash?
The two also dive into Nopara's history with Wasabi wallet and the state of privacy on Bitcoin. Nopara also gives us his take on Samaurai v Wasabi. Please note, Doug hopes to have someone from the Samaurai project on soon to offer their response and take too.
