TODAY'S SHOW: In this episode of Monero Talk, Douglas Tuman chats with Diego Salazar (Rarar) and Luke Szramowski from Cypherstack about Full Chain Membership Proofs (FCMPs), a breakthrough that will dramatically boost Monero’s privacy. Diego, a longtime Monero contributor and founder of Cypherstack, discusses Stack Wallet—an open-source, multi-platform wallet for privacy coins—and stresses the importance of user-friendly design in privacy tech.

The conversation dives into FCMPs, which will expand Monero’s anonymity set from around 16 to potentially every transaction ever made, with only a logarithmic increase in size. Luke, a mathematician and cryptographer, details the recent hurdles involving 'divisors'—key components that improve FCMP efficiency—and how they overcame complex security challenges to develop a secure version now under review by the Monero Research Lab.

Diego ranks privacy levels across cryptocurrencies, placing current Monero at a 1, Firo’s Lelantus Spark at 4, and Zcash’s Halo 2 Orchard at 10. With FCMPs, he believes Monero could reach 9 or 10—on par with Zcash. The discussion also covers post-quantum cryptography as the next big frontier, with Cypherstack already exploring solutions. Despite earlier setbacks, FCMP development is back on schedule, targeting a Q1 2026 deployment pending code compatibility checks led by MRL’s Justin Ehrenhofer.

TODAY'S SHOW: In this episode of Monero Talk, Douglas Tuman and Aaron Day explore the growing threat of stablecoins as a covert form of CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency), with Aaron warning that the situation has worsened dramatically—“100 times worse than a year ago.” He critiques the Trump administration’s stance, noting that despite public opposition to CBDCs, its policies are paving the way for a backdoor digital currency through stablecoin regulation.

Key figures like Brian Brooks and Howard Lutnick—linked to major stablecoins and now in influential government roles—highlight what Aaron describes as a Silicon Valley and “PayPal mafia” takeover of policy. The proposed Genius Act and Stable Act would require stablecoins to be fully backed by U.S. Treasuries, effectively forcing users to fund government debt and surveillance systems.

With projections of $120 trillion in stablecoin transactions by 2030, Aaron calls this “turbo cancer for CBDC adoption.” The sheer scale of these numbers underscores the urgency he sees in resisting the push toward centralized digital money.

The conversation then shifts to solutions within the privacy coin space, emphasizing unity against technocratic control. Aaron highlights FUSD (Freedom Dollar), a private algorithmic stablecoin built on Zano, which offers an alternative by being over-collateralized with Zano rather than tied to government-backed assets. He discusses Zano’s technical advantages, including its deflationary model, while defending its pre-mine as a necessary step for development funding.

Both hosts stress the importance of collaboration across privacy projects like Monero, Tari, and Zano to resist systemic control. They also preview Porkfest, where they’ll host a privacy tent and welcome Ross Ulbricht and his mother Lynn, who is launching a new advocacy initiative.

TODAY'S SHOW: Douglas Tuman interviews Aaron Day - an author, activist, and former presidential candidate. Aaron discusses the potential threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and the need for decentralized alternatives.

He also covers the history and motivations behind the push for CBDCs and just how close we may be to seeing them implemented. They explore the challenges faced by existing cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin in terms of scalability, privacy, and resistance to government control.

The conversation highlights the importance of privacy-focused cryptocurrencies like Monero, to create a parallel economy as an alternative to CBDCs. They also discuss strategies for onboarding people to preserve individual liberties in the face of potential digital tyranny.

TODAY'S 🎙SHOW: Douglas Tuman interviews Rohan Grey, an assistant professor at Willamette University College of Law who participated in the recent U.S. Congressional hearing on digitizing the dollar.

The two discuss their shared belief in the importance of privacy preserving digital cash and then get into where they disagree— such as Their opinions of crypto overall. They also discuss the differences between public money and private currencies and how Rohan is for Monero existing and competing but believes it can never and how we should never want it to replace government controlled fiat.
