Francisco Cabañas, a.k.a. ArticMine, of the Monero core team comes on the podcast to discuss all things privacy, beginning with Monero's approach to obfuscating transactions by making privacy-enhancing functions mandatory as well as hiding transaction amounts. We also go into scaling and the concept of using an adaptive block size combined with a tail emission to permanently solve scaling issues, as well as Ciphertrace, the project that alleges it can track Monero transactions.
