episode 9: #9: Privacy Coins Explained—A Deep Dive into Monero (XMR) and Zcash (ZEC)...and also SumoKoin
Aaron & Jay go inside the privacy altcoins Monero (XMR) and ZCash (ZEC):
- what coin fungibility and anonymity really mean
- how privacy coins differ from Bitcoin—and whether Bitcoin might add those features as a secondary layer in the future
- whether the association of Monero with dark net markets and money laundering is good or bad for price (and ethics?)
- how academic research led to defining privacy features of Monero (Ring Signatures) and Zcash (ZSnarks) and how they work (actually we don't really understand, but we try!)
