Monero's "Big Tent" culture w/ Monero Matteo (MT 362)

TODAY'S 🎙SHOW: Douglas Tuman sits down with Monero Matteo for a discussion on Monero and its future. Matteo shares why he seldom does interviews, his work as an accountant specializing in Monero, and the challenges of helping businesses adopt privacy-focused tools. They dive into Monero’s potential for decentralized capital markets, business-friendly features like view keys and transaction tagging, and hurdles such as accessibility and accounting integration. The discussion also explores Monero’s philosophy—privacy as resistance to surveillance, the role of proof-of-work, and the community’s “big tent” culture. The episode closes with reflections on freedom, ethics, and Monero’s role in protecting human autonomy

Vini Barbosa’s unfiltered take on the Monero selfish mining attacks and PoW (MT 360)

TODAY'S 🎙SHOW: Douglas Tuman has a discussion with Vinny Barbosa, a Brazilian crypto writer and privacy advocate, about the current challenges facing the Monero network, particularly the ongoing selfish mining attacks by the Qubic pool. The conversation explores both short-term and long-term solutions, including the proposed "Publish or Perish" soft fork to disincentivize selfish mining, defensive mining strategies, and the controversial idea of incorporating proof-of-stake elements or a finality layer to enhance network security. Vinny argues that while Monero’s proof-of-work and ASIC resistance are valuable for decentralization and permissionless mining, all proof-of-work systems are inherently vulnerable to such attacks, and the community should remain open to researching hybrid or alternative consensus models without ideological dogma. The dialogue emphasizes the importance of open debate, technical innovation, and community resilience in navigating Monero’s current crisis, while also touching on broader themes of digital cash, sovereignty, and interoperability with other privacy and scalable cryptocurrencies like Zcash and Nano.

Strengthening Monero Amid Attacks – With Xenu of Anti Moonboy News |(MT 359)

TODAY'S 🎙SHOW: Monero’s network is facing coordinated selfish-mining “marathons” by Cubic, causing multi-block reorganizations that disrupt transactions but haven’t led to double-spends. With Cubic controlling an estimated 30–35% of hash power, the attacks combine technical pressure with “weaponized marketing” to boost their own coin. The community is responding by mobilizing CPU miners—especially on decentralized P2Pool—renting hash power during attack windows, and discussing medium-term fixes like fee adjustments, improved mining incentives, and greater decentralization. Broader regulatory headwinds, including high-profile legal cases against privacy tools, add to the urgency. Core consensus is to protect Monero’s tail emission, reject proof-of-stake, and focus on practical, PoW-compatible defenses while reassuring users their funds remain safe.

Merged Mining and Proof of Useful Work - Security Implications for Monero. W/ Francisco Cabanas |(MT 358)

TODAY'S 🎙SHOW: This episode of Monero Talk featured a discussion with Arctic (Francisco) on key developments in Monero and the broader crypto ecosystem. Arctic shared updates on his work optimizing scaling for full chain membership proofs, addressing concerns about increased transaction sizes and verification times. They discussed the Samurai Wallet case, where developers pled guilty to money transmission violations tied to fees sent to operators, reinforcing existing FinCEN guidance rather than creating new law. The main topic centered on the emerging “Qubic”, which uses Monero merge-mining under the guise of “proof of useful work.” Arctic warned that if Qubic amasses significant hash rate, it could threaten Monero’s network security, similar to the 2018 ASIC attack, and suggested countermeasures like miner education and potential token sell-offs. The conversation also contrasted proof of stake’s flaws with proof of work’s resilience and concluded with updates on Monero’s full chain membership proofs—expected around 2026—which aim to improve fungibility despite larger transaction sizes and longer verification times, mitigated through parallel processing and hardware optimizations.

Crypto Legislation and Digital Cash w/ Zack Shapiro of the Bitcoin Policy Institute |(MT 357)

TODAY'S 🎙SHOW: Legal expert Zach Shapiro joins Douglas Tuman to discuss U.S. cryptocurrency legislation, the legal challenges facing privacy tech, and the philosophical divide between building unstoppable systems versus working within regulatory frameworks. Shapiro, who runs a crypto-focused law firm and is involved with the Bitcoin Policy Institute and Peer-to-Peer Rights Foundation, outlines recent bills in Congress—including the Clarity Act and Genius Act—and their implications for developers and privacy advocates. He and Doug debate Bitcoin vs. Monero, focusing on fungibility and censorship resistance, with Shapiro defending Bitcoin’s legal positioning and Doug championing Monero’s privacy features. The episode also covers ongoing cases like Tornado Cash, the status of Samurai Wallet, and efforts to repeal New York’s restrictive BitLicense.

A Monero Bro running for California Governor: Vince Lundgren | (MT 356)

TODAY'S 🎙SHOW: Douglas Tuman interviews Vince Lundgren, an independent candidate running for California governor in 2026. The conversation begins with their first meeting at the Finney Forum and moves into Vince’s background—from his Navy service and intelligence work to the injury that ended his SEAL training. He reflects on being aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln during 9/11 and President Bush’s "Mission Accomplished" speech. After leaving the military, Vince faced chronic health issues and overcame a dependency on prescription painkillers, eventually finding purpose in outdoor recreation and earning a related degree.

The discussion shifts to Vince’s campaign, focusing on his critiques of California’s handling of homelessness, crime, drug addiction, and identity politics. He shares crime statistics he personally compiled, arguing they challenge mainstream narratives and are largely ignored by media. Vince discusses his stance on gun rights, his interest in Monero, and his belief that while his campaign is a longshot, it serves to raise awareness. The episode wraps with thoughts on alternative systems, Vince's passion for data-driven truth, and a brief story about meeting David Goggins post-SEAL training.
