TODAY'S SHOW: In this episode of Monero Talk Douglas Tuman has a conversation with Omar Espejel, a StarkNet Foundation developer building trustless atomic swaps between Monero and StarkNet, aimed at providing decentralized on- and off-ramps amid widespread exchange delistings. Omar explains his background in the StarkNet ecosystem, his alignment with Monero’s privacy-first values, and a personal experience that led him to prioritize financial privacy. The discussion focuses on a new atomic swap design enabled by StarkNet’s recent move to BLAKE2s hashing, allowing low-cost, peer-to-peer swaps where cryptographic guarantees ensure either both parties succeed or both fail.

By leveraging audited, open-source code from the Monero community (notably Serai and Commit Network), the project allows Monero users to access broader liquidity and Ethereum DeFi without wrapped assets or trusted bridges. Omar outlines StarkNet’s evolving privacy roadmap, and his intention to present the work at Monero Topia, as part of a broader resurgence in privacy-focused crypto infrastructure.

TODAY'S SHOW: In this episode of Monero Talk, David Burkett, creator of Litecoin's MimbleWimble Extension Block (MWEB) and developer of Grin++, discusses cryptocurrency privacy technologies with host Douglas Tuman.

He shares his journey from early Bitcoin interest to becoming more coin-agnostic due to Bitcoin’s scalability and privacy limitations. Burkett explains how MWEB provides basic privacy features, such as hidden transaction amounts and no address reuse, but clarifies that it doesn’t offer the same unlinkability as Monero. He also discusses MWEB’s extension block structure, adoption challenges, and the future of privacy coins, including potential atomic swaps between MWEB and Monero.

TODAY'S SHOW: In this episode of Monero Talk, Douglas Tuman speaks with Paul Puey of Edge Wallet about privacy in cryptocurrency. Paul shares his journey from Dogecoin to Bitcoin, recognizing Bitcoin’s privacy issues early on, which led to his support for Monero. He discusses the rise of "privacy season," attributing increased interest in privacy coins to dissatisfaction with Bitcoin’s lack of privacy.

Paul also explains Edge Wallet’s integration of Monero in 2018 and contrasts Monero’s mandatory privacy with Zcash’s optional model. The conversation covers usability challenges with Monero, such as transaction finality, and touches on the need for better point-of-sale solutions to drive crypto adoption. Paul also highlights Edge Wallet's new integration of XANO for private Bitcoin transactions and discusses the potential impact of macroeconomic trends on the crypto market, especially privacy coins.

TODAY'S SHOW: In this episode of Monero Talk, Douglas Tuman chats with Joel Valenzuela, a blockchain advocate and business development professional for Dash, about the renewed interest in privacy coins, or what they call "privacy season."

They dive into the roles of Monero and Zcash, noting Zcash’s recent price jump and how it has reignited tribal debates. Joel argues that Zcash is now a stronger hedge for Monero than Bitcoin, given their differing approaches to privacy and governance. The conversation also touches on how holding multiple crypto assets shapes market psychology, contrasts Monero’s strict "private by default" model with Zcash’s more exchange-friendly design, and explores the shifting exchange landscape with platforms relisting privacy coins.

They discuss upcoming technical upgrades, including Zcash’s Tachyon and Monero’s FCMP++, and highlight how Litecoin leads non-Bitcoin payment volume while Monero dominates privacy-by-default transactions. The episode wraps up with price predictions for Monero and Zcash, along with a focus on the importance of real-world adoption, such as using Monero for everyday purchases.

TODAY'S SHOW: In this episode, Douglas Tuman meets with John Gotts, host of the fast-rising "Digital Gold Talk" podcast. John’s show has been drawing millions of weekly views and has earned a reputation for moving markets overnight—often sending the coins he evaluates soaring. Together, they dive into Monero and its mission as unstoppable digital cash and the technical features that set it apart. John also breaks down his Digital Gold Standard Benchmark and why it puts Monero’s “fair value” over seven times its current price.

As they talk, Monero’s price climbs in real time, ultimately hitting the symbolic $420 mark live. John outlines his upcoming fund ecosystem aimed at supporting undervalued crypto networks, including major grant funding for Monero development, and he and Doug make plans for future collaborations.

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."

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.

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.
