TODAY'S SHOW: In this episode of Monero Talk, Douglas Tuman speaks with Ibek from Unstoppable Wallet to discuss privacy, cryptocurrency adoption, and the evolution of self-custody wallets. Ibek explains how his team transitioned from traditional software development into crypto and eventually built Unstoppable Wallet, including the reasoning behind its multi-chain approach and integration of smart-contract networks.

The conversation explores Monero's role in privacy, the challenges of maintaining privacy while providing a convenient wallet experience, and the risks of centralized blacklisting. They also discuss THORChain, decentralized swaps, wallet economics, and which cryptocurrency projects Ibek believes will survive long term.

TODAY'S SHOW: In this episode of Monero Talk, Douglas Tuman speaks with Andrey Sabelnikov, founder of Zano and original developer of the CryptoNote codebase, about how the rise of AI is changing blockchain security and software development. Sabelnikov explains how Zano began using AI-assisted auditing to uncover vulnerabilities—including an old emission bug—and how the team has built automated testing systems around increasingly capable AI models.

The conversation then turns to Zano’s upcoming Hard Fork 6, gateway addresses, confidential assets, its planned execution layer, and the transition toward proof of stake. Douglas and Andrey also compare Zano and Monero, discuss the future of privacy coins, proof-of-work versus proof-of-stake, and the challenge of making financial privacy more widely accepted without the stigma currently attached to privacy technology.
