In this episode we speak with Sebastien Kung. He is a programmer, and a developper in Monero. It works on different cryptographic principles than bitcoin. We will to try explain some of basic notions of Monero, and compare it to bitcoin.
We will try to explain
-how ring signatures work and how privacy is achieved and why it is different then coinjoin,
what a key image is and how it used to avoid a double spend how the proof of work algorithm is different then bitcoin
scaling problems
wallets
what effect the wanna-cry hack had on the Monero community
Sebastien explains the notions simply and clearly, so it is a great listen. I hope you enjoy it.
