Monero Talk interviews kayabaNerve on Full Chain Memebership Proofs

In this special Monero Talk episode12, Douglas Tuman3 interviews Serai4 lead dev Luke Parker (kayabaNerve)5 on Full Chain Membership Proofs6:

[..] I would hope for the implementation to be ready within about 6 months [..] that’s not guaranteeing the academic review, formalization, audits and all of that.. (Luke @ 1:00:33)

Several topics are discussed in this interview, including FCMPs technical details, auditing and implementation timeline, developer incentives and funding models, and the political situation in Argentina.

To learn more about Luke’s FCMPs CCS proposal, consult the previous Monero Observer report7.
