Josh Swihart is the founder of ZODL: the Zcash Open Development Lab. Basically a for profit reincarnation of the old Electric Coin Company, which inherited the dev teams and projects. During his previous Bitcoin Takeover podcast appearance in November 2024 (S15 E62), Zcash was a struggling privacy project with very little support and a rather disappointing price action. In June 2026, Zcash is the rising star of the cryptocurrency market, with plans to scale to billions of users and ever-improving shielding technology. In this episode, we talk about the good, the bad, and the controversial moments in the recent history of Zcash... and why Bitcoin didn't activate Zerocash yet.

Jeff Berwick return to Outer Limits of Inner Truth to discuss simulation theory, the nature of consciousness, and what he believes happens to awareness after the body dies. Jeff lays out his core view that consciousness is the only thing that truly exists and that the physical world is best understood as a three dimensional video game we created for ourselves, an idea he uses to explain how a loving source could allow so much suffering inside its own creation. He walks through the reasoning that led him there, from questions about where the universe actually ends to the way a vivid dream feels completely real until you wake, and he connects all of it to the show's running exploration of near death experiences, arguing that the so called matrix has levels and may continue even after death. Along the way he draws on his years of meditation and plant medicine and on the work of David Icke, including the unsettling notion that control oriented beings may operate in the spirit world as well. From there Jeff turns to the systems of control he has written about for years as The Dollar Vigilante, describing central banking as a machine that runs on human fear and extracts value through currency itself, and positioning decentralized money like Monero as a way to starve that machine of power. He reads the turbulence of recent years, including the pandemic, as evidence of an old power structure losing its grip while a growing number of people wake up, and he frames fear as the real mechanism of control. The episode lands on a practical and almost meditative note, that hours of inner work and a genuine connection to source dissolve fear, and that once a person stops being afraid and starts living fully in the present, the system loses its leverage over them. He points listeners toward his writing at The Dollar Vigilante and his gatherings, Anarchapulco and Libertopia.

In this episode, Austin chats with Mert about why privacy is becoming essential for crypto and on-chain finance. They discuss how ZK-based privacy works via shielded pools, commitments, proofs, and nullifiers, contrasting it with Monero's probabilistic obfuscation. Mert explains Zcash's renewed adoption through improved usability, macro and regulatory shifts, and fairer historical distribution. He argues privacy layers fail when they lack tangible benefits, and outlines a new fully on-chain, composable, atomic privacy protocol for Solana built with Light Protocol's compression approach, including permissionless and enterprise “zones” with configurable compliance features and reduced MEV via encrypted swaps.  00:00 - Why Privacy Matters  03:05 - Zcash And ZK Origins  06:26 - How Shielded Pools Work  09:56 - Why Zcash Broke Out  15:52 - Why Privacy Layers Fail  19:47 - Solana Privacy Protocol  22:57 - Composability Breakthrough  25:51 - Go-To-Market Plan  30:50 - Compliance And Zones  32:40 - Onchain Versus Off Chain  34:58 - Zcash And Solana's Future  40:29 - Bitcoin Privacy And Quantum  43:48 - Closing And Where To Find Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

When an AI model discovered a catastrophic vulnerability in Zcash's cryptography, users realized a hard truth: without mathematical proof, code is never truly safe. While everyone was distracted by the latest price pumps and ETF narratives, something massive just happened in the privacy space. A security researcher leveraging the new Opus 4.8 AI model found a “soundness bug” in Zcash's Orchard protocol. We aren't talking about a small glitch. This was a constraint bug that allowed for potential infinite minting since Orchard debuted in 2022. That means, for years, anyone could have printed counterfeit Zcash out of thin air. Now, here is the kicker. While Zcash users were sweating bullets, wondering if their funds were actually real or just digital paper, Pirate Chain users slept like babies. Zero panic. Why? Because Pirate Chain operates on the older, Sapling protocol, which was unaffected. While Zcash was busy rushing to implement new, flashy tech without proper safety checks, Pirate Chain stuck to the guns that work. Watch on: Odysee | YouTube | X | Rumble | Bitchute | Vigilante.tv This brings us to the concept of formal verification. Most crypto projects skip this because it is hard, expensive, and slows down development. But here is the reality: formal verification is essentially proving mathematically that the circuit works and it cannot be exploited. You can't just “trust the devs” or “trust the auditors.” Even the smartest minds in zero-knowledge proofs missed this bug in Orchard. Human error is inevitable. Math, however, does not make mistakes. Pirate Chain's strategy is brilliant in its simplicity. They let Zcash act as an unpaid R&D department. Zcash takes the risks, breaks things, and finds the holes. Pirate Chain watches, waits, and only implements the tech once it is mathematically secured. Zcash tries to fix these supply issues with something called “turnstiles,” which force users to unshield their coins—creating metadata trails and destroying privacy—just to verify the supply. Pirate Chain says no thanks. We don't play games with metadata. We wait for Ironwood, the next formally verified pool, before we even think about upgrading. We are seeing the gap widen between the experimenters and the executioners. The market is full of confusion, which is why we constantly highlight privacy champs like Zano, Monero, and Pirate Chain that actually deliver. While Zcash is still figuring out how to stop infinite minting, Pirate Chain is rolling out the new Unified Light Wallet and preparing for a future where the tech is actually polished. One is a beta test for your financial sovereignty. The other is the finished product. Don't get caught holding the bag when the bugs turn into bank runs. Stay ahead of the curve with the latest crypto news and analysis and remember: in this game, if you aren't private by default, you aren't private at all. The post AI Finds the Hole: Why Formal Verification Saved Pirate Chain From Zcash's Fate appeared first on The Crypto Vigilante.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with software engineer and entrepreneur Arowolo Muritadhor for a wide-ranging conversation that moves from agriculture and manufacturing in Nigeria to the evolving role of crypto in the country's economy. They touch on how hyperinflation, particularly the naira's dramatic drop in 2023, pushed Nigerians toward stablecoins as a practical savings tool, and how informal kiosk networks have stepped in where traditional banking infrastructure falls short. The conversation also covers the tension between government regulation and the permissionless nature of blockchain technology, comparisons between the decline of the Roman Empire and current shifts in US economic dominance, the role of mobile payments in Africa, language learning, and whether AI agents have any real utility in crypto infrastructure yet. You can connect with Arowolo on LinkedIn and X at @armolas_06.Timestamps00:00 - Host welcomes Arowolo Muritadhor, introducing topics of software engineering and animal food production in Nigeria.05:00 - Discussion shifts to manufacturing, components assembly, and China's dominance in low-cost production globally.10:00 - Conversation explores crypto adoption in Nigeria as a network state phenomenon, separating informed users from mainstream population.15:00 - Mobile payments and kiosk ATM replacements emerge as critical financial infrastructure bridging unbanked Nigerians.20:00 - Roman Empire parallels drawn to modern crypto taxation, government control, and inevitable death-and-taxes reality.25:00 - Bitcoin and Ethereum permissionless nature debated against government wallet-level censorship vulnerabilities.30:00 - AI agents examined as crypto infrastructure tools, revealing mostly trading bots rather than foundational builders.35:00 - Nigeria's 2023 naira collapse compared to Argentina's hyperinflation, driving citizens toward stablecoin dollar savings.40:00 - US Treasury history unpacked through FDR gold confiscation and Nixon ending convertibility, paralleling empire decline.45:00 - Crypto reframed as anti-bank rather than purely anti-government, enabling freedom through immutable accountability.50:00 - Transparent blockchain ledgers discussed as potential government accountability tools across democracy, republic, and oligarchy structures.Key Insights1. Nigeria has a significant divide between its northern and southern regions in terms of economic activity. The north, centered around Abuja, is more agricultural with substantial cattle production, while Lagos in the south functions as a dense urban and commercial hub. This geographic and economic split shapes how different financial tools and technologies are adopted across the country.2. China's dominance in low-cost manufacturing has made it nearly impossible for countries like Nigeria, the United States, or Argentina to compete on price alone. The more realistic path for developing economies is to import components and focus on local assembly and creativity, which is where meaningful economic participation becomes possible.3. Crypto adoption in Nigeria accelerated dramatically around 2023 when the naira experienced a sharp devaluation against the US dollar. Before that point, saving in dollars was difficult for many Nigerians, especially those without formal bank accounts, making stablecoins like USDT an attractive and practical alternative for preserving wealth.4. Informal kiosk operators in Nigeria have organically become a substitute for ATMs, giving communities access to basic financial services where traditional banking infrastructure does not reach. This grassroots financial layer is now a key entry point for integrating crypto and stablecoin payments into everyday commerce.5. Governments are increasingly trying to regulate crypto at the wallet and centralized exchange level, using tax compliance as a primary mechanism. While Bitcoin and Ethereum remain largely permissionless, the practical chokepoints for most users remain centralized platforms where identity and transactions can be monitored.6. The historical parallel between the fall of the Roman Empire and current shifts in US economic and geopolitical power offers a useful frame for understanding why crypto matters. Just as Rome debased its currency and struggled to sustain imperial costs, the US faces mounting debt and a financialized economy that may accelerate dollar instability and push more people toward alternative stores of value.7. One genuinely constructive use case for blockchain beyond speculation is immutable accountability, particularly for public institutions and prediction markets. A transparent ledger that governments or officials voluntarily adopt could create verifiable records of decisions and promises, reducing corruption and increasing trust in ways that traditional governance structures have struggled to achieve.

Zcash's Orchard vulnerability has reignited one of the most important conversations in crypto: why formal verification and high-assurance engineering matter when real value is at stake. In this episode, Peter breaks down what the disclosed Zcash flaw could have allowed, why privacy systems create a harder audit problem, and why this story reached far beyond one chain.The discussion then turns to Cardano's long-standing security-first philosophy and why that mindset matters even more for privacy-preserving infrastructure. Peter also explains how Midnight fits into this picture as a privacy layer designed around formal methods, selective disclosure, and secure integration with existing blockchain ecosystems.0:00 Formal Verification Wake-Up0:42 What Happened to Zcash1:18 Why Privacy Makes It Worse1:52 Was Supply Actually Hit2:43 What Formal Verification Means3:29 Why Cardano Took This Path4:47 Why Midnight Stands Out6:18 Proof, Not HopeKey Takeaways:- Zcash disclosed a critical Orchard vulnerability that could have enabled counterfeit ZEC to be created inside its private pool.- Because Orchard is private, the incident raised deeper concerns about auditability and proving whether a flaw had been exploited after the fact.- The Zcash Foundation said there was no evidence of unauthorised value creation and that supply checks still appeared intact.- Formal verification is presented as a practical safeguard for financial infrastructure, not just an academic exercise.- Cardano's emphasis on formal methods and high-assurance engineering is positioned as a major long-term strength.- Midnight is highlighted as a privacy-focused layer that carries the same security-first mindset into selective disclosure and private transactions.Links & References:- x.com: https://link.learncardano.io/bBKPmd- x.com: https://link.learncardano.io/Am5E2M- Ironwood: Verifying the Soundness of Zcash's Circulating Supply - General - Zcash Community Forum: https://link.learncardano.io/woRoDA- Security engineer Taylor Hornby adds Monero to audit queue after Zcash bug discovery: https://link.learncardano.io/E9opjz- Morning Minute: Massive ZCash Exploit Found by Claude, Extent Unknown: https://link.learncardano.io/n2D0sL- Researcher who found Zcash's bug with AI adds Monero to his audit queue: https://link.learncardano.io/QWZ8Kb- Frontier AI Models Can Find Crypto's Biggest Bugs.

They compare Zcash's seemingly influencer-driven pump with Monero's quieter but rising real-world usage, discuss Cake Wallet's UX-driven approach (including enforced auto-shielding for Zcash), and debate how criminal adoption can actually validate that privacy tools work in adversarial settings while emphasizing legitimate use cases and storytelling. They explore why app-layer privacy on major L1s has weak adoption versus privacy-native L1s, the importance of defaults, and what's next for privacy in DeFi and stablecoins. 00:00 - Seth's Personal and Professional Privacy Journey  05:53 - Zcash vs Monero Adoption  09:51 - Crime Compliance and Privacy Ethics  15:25 - Why Privacy-Preserving Wallet UX Has Lagged  20:49 - Privacy L1s vs. App-Layer Privacy  27:30 - What's Next Private DeFi  30:07 - Why Monero Has Survived CEX Delistings  32:35 - Privacy in the Age of AI Surveillance  41:51 - Conclusion    Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

A weekly live show covering all things Freedom Tech with Max, Q and Seth.In this week's Freedom Tech Friday, Max welcomed back Zach Herbert, CEO of Foundation, for a deep dive into practical health sovereignty, starting at home. We moved beyond Bitcoin, seed phrases, and secure elements to the everyday systems thinking Zach has applied to his own biology. We tackled the big three of home optimisation; water, air, and light. Max and Zach explored how to choose and install reverse osmosis with remineralisation (and why it matters), whole‑home and countertop options for renters, UV sterilisation, shower filters, and the very real issues of PFAS, fluoride, and microplastics. On air, we explored CO₂ monitoring, ERV/HRV ventilation, humidification/dehumidification strategies, realistic budgets for owners and renters, and why indoor CO₂ quietly wrecks performance and sleep. When it came to light, they contrasted high‑CRI, no‑flicker LEDs with incandescents, circadian effects, dim‑to‑warm setups, and why harsh, blue‑heavy flicker can spike stress and fatigue, especially for kids.Max and Zach then dug into targeted personal health: why genetic insights should precede bloods, balancing privacy with utility, and how DNA variants (MTHFR, vitamin D conversion, dopamine response, drug metabolism) can explain lab results and guide smarter supplementation (methylated B vitamins, vitamin D) and protocols (sauna, blood donation trade‑offs). They also hit practicals on electrolyte quality and salt (ditch stevia/citric acid, choose clean salts), everyday toxin minimisation (tallow skincare, hydroxyapatite toothpaste, cleaner hair care), and a level‑headed take on parasites and ivermectin.The theme throughout: use tech to restore a more natural environment and reclaim health autonomy without going “100‑step protocol” make quick wins for renters and owners alike that compound over years for you and your family.[[BILLLKEONNE]]TO DONATE TO ROMAN'S DEFENSE FUND: https://freeromanstorm.com/donateVALUE FOR VALUEThanks for listening you Ungovernable Misfits, we appreciate your continued support and hope you enjoy the shows.You can support this episode using your time, talent or treasure.TIME:- create fountain clips for the show- create a meetup- help boost the signal on social mediaTALENT:- create ungovernable misfit inspired art, animation or music- design or implement some software that can make the podcast better- use whatever talents you have to make a contribution to the show!TREASURE:- BOOST IT OR STREAM SATS on the Podcasting 2.0 apps @ https://podcastapps.com- DONATE via Monero @ https://xmrchat.com/ugmf- BUY SOME STICKERS @ https://www.ungovernablemisfits.com/shop/FOUNDATIONhttps://foundation.xyz/ungovernableFoundation builds Bitcoin-centric tools that empower you to reclaim your digital sovereignty.As a sovereign computing company, Foundation is the antithesis of today's tech conglomerates.

Cryptocomicon argues that Monero's value proposition becomes stronger as governments and institutions push toward regulated digital money systems that normalize financial surveillance. They explore how Monero fits into the broader evolution of crypto, why transparent chains create structural problems for users, how stablecoins may unintentionally accelerate demand for private money, and why Monero remains uniquely positioned despite market narratives, exchange delistings, and VC-driven competition from projects like Zcash. TIMESTAMPS: (00:00:00) Transparent crypto becomes confiscatable (00:03:42) Bitcoin vs Monero as true private property (00:08:17) Economic instability, inflation & why privacy matters (00:13:28) FCMP rollout, stress testing & technical risk (00:20:41) AI-assisted hacking & security concerns (00:24:56) DEXs, liquidity problems & acquiring Monero (00:32:11) Scalability, Lightning-style systems & future usage (00:36:12) Quantum computing concerns & AI acceleration (00:37:58) Monero vs Zcash development philosophies (00:44:37) Centralized exchanges & government pressure (00:45:40) New view keys & exchange compliance tradeoffs (00:46:26) "How do we ensure Monero wins?"

Milan De Reede is the co-founder of Nano GPT: a service that allows you to access all the premium (as well as free) AI models from the same interface, as you pay with bitcoin (and a bunch of other supported coins) for every query and prompt. It successfully allows users to experiment, save money on otherwise expensive subscriptions, and build without any limits (outside of the tokens budget). In this episode, we talk about the origins of Nano GPT, why it's so useful, and how you can get started with vibe coding your dream project. Essentially, my conversation with Milan De Reede finds itself at the intersection between cryptocurrencies and AI: a concept that may become increasingly popular in the future.

ChangeNow Chief Strategy Officer Pauline Shangett sits down for her second Bitcoin.com News interview — this time from Consensus Miami, after six years away from the U.S. market. Her sharpest call of the day: "99% of crypto plus AI projects are going to go obsolete... launching a new chain is going to be, I think, like a desperate measure rather than a necessity."We also dig into ChangeNow's evolution from a 2017 instant swap into a full B2C/B2B ecosystem — Pro accounts, private transactions for whales, limit orders, perps, prediction markets, an in-house AI assistant, and an RWA push with X-Stoxx and Ondo Finance.We cover:- Why Pauline says 99% of crypto+AI projects are going obsolete- Her "80% certainty" call that chains stop mattering by 2028 — and the exceptions (Monero, Ton)- The coming meme coin renaissance and why Base wants revenge on Solana for the pump.fun era- ChangeNow Pro hitting almost 800,000 registered users and doubling in a year- Private transactions / private send — how it works, why whales want it, and why it's not a mixer- Limit orders, perps and prediction markets across custodial + non-custodial rails- The in-house AI assistant built by a self-described "certified AI skeptic"- RWA strategy: X-Stoxx live since January, Ondo Finance partnership almost shipped- The soft-launched ChangeNow super app teased for Token2049Learn more about ChangeNOW:

Naomi explains why privacy is fundamentally tied to human autonomy, why people underestimate the dangers of mass data collection, and how governments and corporations increasingly normalize invasive monitoring. The conversation also explores Naomi's work advocating for privacy rights legislation, the chilling effect of prosecuting open-source developers, and the importance of making privacy tools accessible to everyday users rather than just technical communities.

North Korea has had IT workers embedded in DeFi protocols since DeFi Summer — and they're pretty good devs. Nick Bax, blockchain investigator and SEAL 911 incident responder, joins us to break down how crypto crime has evolved from SIM swaps to nation-state social engineering. We unpack the Monero inflation bug, Arbitrum's 9/12 multisig gold standard, how DPRK workers now use facilitators to rent real identities, and what it actually takes to break into onchain investigation.

He discusses how economic instability and the widespread use of Brazil's Pix payment system have raised serious concerns about financial privacy. These challenges have led many, including Sebastian, to explore privacy-focused alternatives like Monero. The conversation highlights how real-world conditions are driving growing interest in private digital money.

A bi-weekly news show informing you on the latest in Bitcoin, privacy and open source tech hosted by Ungovernables, Max and Q. AOBPrime Time reminder (FTF + Week 3)Vegas coming upNEWSRoman Storm Acquittal?? - The RageRule 29 hearing in SDNY. Retrial dates floated: Oct, Nov, Jan 2027.Gov theory: running Tornado Cash was criminal, but mixers aren't illegal and it wasn't criminal at inception. Failla: so when did liability start?Gov collapsed UI and protocol. Claimed Tornado Cash itself transferred funds — user wallets as "instrumentalities."Only 15% of volume was illicit across the charged period.Failla to prosecutor: "I might argue you were doing better before you started talking."BIP-361 - LinkNew proposal from Jameson Lopp and others (submitted 14 April) to protect Bitcoin from future quantum computers.Quantum computers could one day crack the cryptography Bitcoin uses today (ECDSA/Schnorr). BIP-361 forces everyone to move to new quantum-safe address types before that happens.Two phases: first, you can't send to old-style addresses. Five years later, old-style coins can't be spent at all. If you haven't moved your coins by then, they're frozen.Controversial because it means coins that don't migrate get effectively confiscated — including Satoshi's ~1M BTC and anything on lost seeds. Breaks Bitcoin's "your coins are yours forever" promise.BitMEX pushed back with a "wait and see" alternative: only freeze coins if quantum is actually proven to exist.Foundation angle: if you hold your own keys, you just migrate when new address types ship. The people at risk are exchange users, lost-seed holders, and very old wallets.Bitcoin Depot Hacked - 50.9 BTC ($3.7M) Stolen - Bitcoin Magazine / SecurityWeekPublished: Breach detected March 23, disclosed April 8-9, 2026Bitcoin Depot, the largest crypto ATM operator in the US (9,000+ machines, 47 states), lost 50.9 BTC after attackers gained control of credentials for digital asset settlement accounts. Customer data was not affected. SEC disclosure filed April 8.Talking points: Centralised custodians are honeypots. One set of credentials = nearly $4M gone. The 16-day gap between detection and disclosure is worth noting. Compare with self-custody where there is no single point of failure.Kraken Insider Extortion - Support Staff Recruited by Criminal Groups - CoinDeskPublished: April 13, 2026A criminal group is extorting Kraken after two insider incidents where support staff inappropriately accessed data from ~2,000 client accounts. No funds were at risk. Kraken warned of coordinated insider recruitment campaigns targeting crypto, gaming, and telecom firms.Talking points: Your exchange account is only as secure as the lowest-paid support worker with access to your data. This is organised, coordinated insider recruitment across multiple industries. Self-custody eliminates this counterparty risk entirely. Credit to Kraken for transparency and refusing to pay.Fake Ledger Live app on Mac App Store - Coindesk$9.5M drained from 50+ victims between 7–13 April via fake Ledger Live macOS app on Apple's App Store.Hits across BTC, ETH, Tron, Solana, XRP. Three seven-figure losses — largest $3.23M USDT. Musician G. Love lost 5.9 BTC.Attack vector: app prompted users to enter recovery phrase. Game over.Published under "Leva Heal Limited." Faked version history 1.0 to 5.0 in two weeks to look legit. Passed App Review.Funds laundered through 150+ KuCoin deposit addresses tied to "AudiA6" mixer. KuCoin froze accounts until 20 April only.UPDATES/RELEASESAqua v0.4.2 - April 11Adds transaction notes (BIP329), fiat amount entry for Lightning payments, Sats display unit option, improved animations, GDK upgrade to 0.76.3.https://github.com/AquaWallet/aqua-wallet/releases/tag/v0.4.2BTCPay Server v2.3.7 - April 2 (BORDERLINE)First release using .NET 10.

In this podcast, we start with a THORChain marketing update, followed by a Monero update, arbitrage, and the opt-in chain client, joined by Boone, who voices governance concerns. Swap now on THORChain https://swap.thorchain.org/ without KYC or limits! TL;DR $XMR integration is targeting version 3.18, with the PR nearly ready to merge and chaosnet testing next. $DOT and $TAO are also being built as substrate chain clients for the same release. Chad proposed a dynamic fee model that adjusts swap fees per THORName and per trading pair using statistical analysis, allowing THORChain to be price-competitive where it needs to be without sacrificing revenue from captive interfaces. Opt-in chain client security is being developed so node operators can choose which chains to run, enabling THORChain to scale to many more chains without requiring every validator to run every daemon. The dev fund address change (ADR25) is stuck at 36% approval. Nine Realms wraps up this month, so nodes need to vote immediately to stop funds going to an inactive team. CoinGecko and Gecko Terminal now have live THORChain trading data across all pairs. You can find Rayyyk's full write-up on blog: https://blog.thorchain.org/monero-full-steam-ahead-dynamic-fees-opt-in-chains-the-arb-debate/ THORChain is a decentralized cross-chain liquidity protocol that lets users swap assets directly between blockchains without wrapping or using centralized exchanges. Its app layer ecosystem means developers can build decentralized apps that tap directly into liquidity across chains. Unlike most platforms, it offers real ownership of your assets, deep liquidity, and fast swaps in one seamless network.

Amaury Séchet is the developer who forked Bitcoin in August 2017 to create Bitcoin Cash. Three years later, in the aftermath of an internal conflict about developer funding mechanisms, he also forked Bitcoin Cash to create Ecash (XEC): the evolution of the Bitcoin ABC client which adds the Avalanche protocol for a combination between the battle-tested Proof of Work security and the instant Proof of Stake finality. In this episode, we talk about the evolution of the Bitcoin protocol and why hard forks matter.

Karl Kreder, better known as Dr. K, is the architect of the Quai network: a layered blockchain stack which maximizes the power of proof of work to enable high transaction throughput. Similar in design with Peter Todd's idea of Tree Chains, Quai finds itself at the bleeding edge of cryptocurrency research: and might one day help scale Bitcoin too. Recently, Quai got listed on Kraken and appears to be gaining momentum. But the road to mainstream adoption and replacing banks is still long... Time stamps: 00:01:05 – Vlad introduces Dr. K, sponsors, and announces a Zcash giveaway. 00:02:36 – Quai's recent Kraken listing and its unique proof-of-work scaling approach. 00:03:03 – Vlad and Dr. K demonstrate sending and receiving Quai using the Blip Pay wallet to showcase the user experience. 00:10:06 – Dr. K explains Quai's block times, statistical and economic finality, and how its security compares to Bitcoin. 00:14:48 – Comparing Kaspa's approach and block sampling to Quai's work-sharing model 00:17:29 – Dr. K details how tokens are issued on Quai, merge mining with other chains, and the SOAP protocol. 00:20:43 – Why miners would mine Kwai, market equilibrium, and the concept of emissions neutrality. 00:22:55 – How Quai's merge mining differs from Monero's Qubic and its impact on other blockchain security models. 00:24:28 – The potential for other blockchains to migrate assets to Quai and the broader implications for Bitcoin. 00:28:20 – Gavin Andresen's article, the possibility of Bitcoin migration, and network incentive structures. 00:32:01 – How SOAP forces proof-of-work chains to compete on utility and efficiency in the market. 00:35:04 – Dr. K argues that proof-of-stake is unsuitable for money, using geopolitical examples to support his case. 00:38:11 – Quai's premine, coin distribution and fairness in the project. 00:41:04 – Quai's programmability, privacy features, energy dollar, and sharding scalability compared to Kaspa. 00:46:56 – Dr. K explains Kwai's dynamic sharding, hierarchical chain structure, and proof of entropy minima. 00:53:00 – Dr. K responds to accusations of Quai being a “Bitcoin affinity scam” and emphasizes the project's mission. 00:55:31 – Why Quai needs its own token and can't simply function as a Bitcoin L2, the need for reciprocal validation. 00:57:29 – Ethereum's move to proof-of-stake, the challenges of proof-of-work scaling, and Quai's unique approach. 00:59:39 – Dr. K announces the giveaway number and reveals the winner live. 01:02:18 – Dr. K reviews Cake Wallet 01:09:23 – Hardware requirements for running a Quai node compared to Bitcoin's requirements. 01:15:20 – Dr. K explains how archival nodes work in Quai, shard data redundancy, and miner incentives for data storage. 01:18:18 – Quai's privacy mechanisms and addresses potential threats from quantum computing. 01:25:02 – Dr. K's recent physics breakthrough related to unification and its implications for quantum computing. 01:55:36 – How Dr. K uses AI models like Claude and GPT for research, proof development, and coding tasks. 02:08:12 – AI's impact on code security, adversarial reviews, and the process of patching vulnerabilities. 02:25:25 – Dr. K explains his motivation for building scalable proof-of-work and the importance of sound money. 02:28:59 – Comparing crypto's scaling requirements to Visa/Mastercard: the need for speed, scale, and low cost. 02:32:51 – Why proof-of-work scaling is more challenging and less researched than proof-of-stake. 02:48:57 – Why simply increasing block size doesn't scale and how sharding addresses these technical limits. 02:52:32 – The lack of engagement from Bitcoin core developers and the counterintuitive design of Quai. 02:56:59 – Quai's use cases, including stable private money, EVM compatibility, and DeFi. 03:00:00 – Dr. K addresses criticisms about energy use, arguing for proof-of-work's security and economic efficiency. 03:09:14 – The best ways to try Quai: Tangem, Blip Pay, browser extensions, and exchanges. 03:26:08 – Criticisms of Quai, such as sharding FUD, security, and centralization risks. 03:37:21 – Future plans for Quai: upcoming exchange listings, new wallet features, and app wallet security. 03:43:02 – Vlad and Dr. K reflect on their academic backgrounds, discuss flaws in academia, and share closing thoughts.

In this Confab, Max sits down with Vik Sharɱa, founder and CEO of Cake Wallet, for a candid journey from his early hacking days on the Apple II, through decades in the steel industry, to discovering Bitcoin in 2013 and Monero in 2016. Vik shares the eye‑opening moment Coinbase shut his account for a small darknet market purchase of antibiotics—an incident that catalysed his deep dive into privacy and ultimately inspired Cake Wallet's creation. Max and Vik explore why privacy should be a default, how Monero's out‑of‑the‑box protections compare with Bitcoin's more complex privacy tooling, and why a multi‑coin world empowers users rather than divides them. Max and Vik also dig into the rapid rise of AI: how it's reshaping software development, enabling non‑coders to build real tools, and what it might mean for self‑custody and user experience in the months ahead.Vik reflects on the growing global demand for financial privacy and access—especially via stablecoins as on‑ramps—while emphasising real‑world utility as the backbone of value. He recounts Cake's experimental culture (silent payments, PayJoin v2, Lightning via Spark) and the team's willingness to learn in public. Max and Vik wrap on why decentralised money and local/secure AI can help people everywhere earn, spend, and build without permission, and why he's more optimistic today than he was a few years ago about privacy tech gaining mainstream traction.HELP GET SAMOURAI A PARDONSIGN THE PETITION ----> https://www.change.org/p/stand-up-for-freedom-pardon-the-innocent-coders-jailed-for-building-privacy-tools DONATE TO THE FAMILIES ----> https://www.givesendgo.com/billandkeonneSUPPORT ON SOCIAL MEDIA ---> https://billandkeonne.org/VALUE FOR VALUEThanks for listening you Ungovernable Misfits, we appreciate your continued support and hope you enjoy the shows.You can support this episode using your time, talent or treasure.TIME:- create fountain clips for the show- create a meetup- help boost the signal on social mediaTALENT:- create ungovernable misfit inspired art, animation or music- design or implement some software that can make the podcast better- use whatever talents you have to make a contribution to the show!TREASURE:- BOOST IT OR STREAM SATS on the Podcasting 2.0 apps @ https://podcastapps.com- DONATE via Monero @ https://xmrchat.com/ugmf- BUY SOME STICKERS @ https://www.ungovernablemisfits.com/shop/FOUNDATIONhttps://foundation.xyz/ungovernableFoundation builds Bitcoin-centric tools that empower you to reclaim your digital sovereignty.As a sovereign computing company, Foundation is the antithesis of today's tech conglomerates.
