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!

Why a true privacy tool can’t be built to comply with the State w/ Alan Szepieniec
TODAY'S 🎙SHOW: Douglas Tuman interviews Alan Szepieniec, a cryptography researcher and libertarian.
The two discuss the prominent blockchain privacy paper co-authored by Vitalik Buterin, the future of blockchain privacy vs surveillance coins. Alan explains why there’s a need to stop putting the state on a pedestal in the privacy debate in order to defend privacy in the future, the reason the US government doesn’t care as much about money laundering as long as it happens in US banks.
Alan also brought up a new cryptocurrency that he is working on which intends on being Quantum resistant. Doug recommends you check out the Monero Talk videos posted in the show notes for info on Quantum Resistance as it relates to Monero.

Has Bitmain created a RandomX Monero ASIC? w/ Howard Chu EPI #280
TODAY'S 🎙SHOW:Douglas Tuman interviews Howard Chu, the creator of RandomJS (the genesis of RandomX)
With rumors surfacing of bitmain releasing a monero asic and concerns of mining pools having spikes in hash power over 50%, we turned to the premier expert HYC to give us an update on the state of the decentralization of Monero’s mining network, remind us why Bitcoin’s mining network is susceptible to surveillance and censorship, and to remind us ultimately what is most vital for the Monero community to focus on — using monero to Transact and building out a circular economy.
