[@GocygoOffical]

Awesome!!

[@MarioShotgun]

what happened to the comments in odysee?

[@shrayansjain4757]

Plss share your views on android password store ... An android client of Unix based "PASS" system

[@cameronmoore136]

We did!

[@GocygoOffical]

Privacy is key.

[@PragandSens]

privacy works with keys

[@redeyesdrogon786]

This was a really cool interview. I really liked this! Keep up the good work

[@sammydepresso]

Seth for Privacy!

[@cameronmoore136]

SammyDepresso!

[@jan_harald]

huh, it seems...quite...reverb-y? like, not exactly echo, but more like...voice overlaying itself, with ever so slight delay? lol

[@jan_harald]

especially Mr Lore's side

[@Scout339th]

That occurs with some ways that audio is sped up, if you have an iphone try higher speed in a normal youtube video. (this is no present on android because they use a different method) so this is my theory.

[@LuciferArc1]

I wonder what happened to the why monero podcast channel

[@atlwolf3]

I really wanted to listen to this but the audio quality was too poor.

[@WitchMedusa]

I'm gonna watch nothing to hide

[@johnnash7350]

It seems to make sense to just have everything in Bitcoin and when you need to, convert it to Monero.. Also, not sure if the development team can mess up Monero, or if the tail emission is necessary inflation for monero.. or if it can be 51% hacked, etc..

[@igelineau]

the Bitcoin development team could mess up Bitcoin too, that argument doesn't make a lot of sense...

[@gotoastal]

No Zcash in the title?

[@mateonouvel6843]

It’s Ztrash, fully traceable

[@quickmythril2398]

if you like ZEC, check ARRR & HUSH which are shielded tx only.

[@Icenstoiler]

Because its shit

[@kil-roy]

As much as I still have great respect for Signal, the changes that have occurred since the time of this interview make the Monero-Signal comparisons more harmful than helpful for Monero. Basically, "that did not age well." Most of what's covered here is widely known and/or available. Strategically speaking, I would not have posted this at all.

[@San_Dee]

What changes?

[@TheLayawn]

Good podcast. Just keep in mind protonmail is sus. It reported teenagers skiping school for a protest XD

[@Icenstoiler]

Sadly it is just a coin for now
No defi projects etc

[@mateonouvel6843]

Not sadly, this is the whole point “cryptocurrency”. Notice “currency”

[@Icenstoiler]

@@mateonouvel6843 doesnt matter, there is a blockchain, so you could use it at least as anonym. validation for 2nd layer defi project
Because defi" isnt anonym in general

[@LuciferArc1]

​@@Icenstoiler it doesn't need defi. It's just a currency. The chains only function is anonymous transactions. There are anonymous defi chains but they're rare and complicated to use.

[@neethology]

No thanks

[@mateonouvel6843]

Have fun staying traceable & poor

[@elenaa_28]

If more privacy means participating in a massive ponzi scheme, i'd rather have a bit less privacy.

[@TyroneLangam]

Did not age well
