TODAY'S SHOW: In this episode of Monero Talk, host Douglas Tuman interviews Monero developer Jeffro256. They dive into Monero’s upcoming Carrot protocol upgrade and Full Chain Membership Proofs (FCMP++), two major advancements in privacy and security.
Jeff shares his path into Monero, from early mining experiments in 2017 to contributing as a developer. He explains how Carrot fixes vulnerabilities like the burning bug and Janus attack, while adding features such as outgoing view keys and offline address generation.
The conversation then shifts to FCMP++, with a stress test network launching soon. This upgrade will expand Monero’s anonymity set from 16 to around 150 million—an unprecedented leap in privacy. They also cover Monero’s response to recent Qubic mining attacks, Tevador’s “publish or perish” proposal, comparisons with other privacy coins like Zcash, and future directions including quantum resistance and confidential assets.
