TODAY'S SHOW: In this episode Douglas Tuman interviews Justin Berman, a full-time Monero developer. Justin discusses his work on full-chain membership proofs++, which he's been developing for over six months. He explains that this upgrade, along with Carrot (being developed by Jeff Row), represents significant improvements to Monero's privacy and security features.

Justin expresses optimism about implementing these changes before the end of 2025, with code potentially ready for testing within 1-2 months. The conversation also covers the current state of cryptocurrency, including Trump's involvement with meme coins, quantum resistance in cryptocurrencies, and various technical improvements being made to Monero. Justin details how wallet sync times could improve by 60-70% with upcoming changes, and discusses the growing developer community, particularly around the Cuprate project (a Rust implementation of Monero).
