    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 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.

  • What’s Next for Privacy Season? w/ Joel Valenzuela | EPI 370

    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.

    TIMESTAMPS:

    (00:01:20) – Privacy season and community optimism
    (00:06:57) – Discussion on Monero “Street price” and centralized exchange impact
    (00:09:29) – Legal and regulatory climate for crypto: coin listings, Trump, pardons
    (00:15:43) – Zcash’s institutional lobbying advantage vs. Monero’s grassroots approach
    (00:25:03) – ETFs as potential co-optation vectors; Monero as “last crypto standing”
    (00:31:07) – Zcash roadmap, proof of work debate, shielded address adoption vs. transparent
    (00:45:15) – Exchange relistings (Dash, Korea/Japan); changing regulatory risk
    (00:53:30) – Hope for Monero relistings?; Sarai DEX, THORChain, and Maya Protocol
    (01:01:27) – Litecoin’s MimbleWimble (MWEB); "Privacy Season" outlook
