TODAY'S 🎙SHOW: Douglas Tuman interviews Sergei Chernykh aka sech1 a monero developer that has made very important contributions to Monero’s mining network.

The two discuss Sergei’s most recent breakthrough contribution. The development of p2pool, Monero’s first decentralized mining pool that lets miners team-up to mine together, without taking any fees and without yielding a centralized pool operator their vote in the network, thus allowing for pools that can grow large without fear of a 51% attack on the network.

The two also discuss how Sergei came about finding and working for Monero, randomx, and what areas in Monero need more improvement.

Please consider donating to Sergei for his development work. His address is posted in the show notes. Please also consider donating to Doug’s CCS proposal so Doug can transition to working full-time on helping Monero grow.
