Another good listen. Would have been nice to hear a bit more from Andreas though in this episode. Whilst listening to Zooko is great I haven’t heard much from Andreas on Zcash. Maybe you can get him back for a dedicated episode?
Enjoyed this episode a tonne
Reminiscing on the days of cyberbucks with the godfather of mix networks, going deeper into the side channel incident mid ceremony, what more could a cypherpunk want?
I also edited your links so they are clickable.
