Hi everyone.

It was a lot of fun joining MoneroTalk and would like to be able to join in viewers on stage in the future and give an update on the CakePay issue I was having, which thankfully turned out positive. At a minimum, I think I'd like to follow the chat on the live broadcast of Monero Talk. I could use a hyperlink to take me to that chat and video.

Doug mentioned a potential central Florida meetup for the regional Monero community. I'd be happy to support that with some guidance from other members of the team.

I'd like to lend a hand for anything related to helping to promote Monero. I could watch every episode and do a write-up as your post requested on monero.town.

I also would like to be a test case user that can document failures and successes of various avenues of utilizing the various payment methods, building upon the knowledge learned from my Cakepay experience. This documentation can include how to videos that can be shared wherever appropriate for greatest Monero adoption.

Currently, One of my primary interests is to be able to pay for fuel at the pump with Monero either directly or via some non-KYC debit card. I've been reading about UQUID, and seem to have local places to pick up one of the physical debit cards, but I've yet to test it fully for full anonymity.

The likelihood of a global failure in the debt-based monetary system is a real threat and going thru the motions of these alternatives will be essential if we are to carry on ourselves, and teach others how to survive the apocalypse.

Also, being a Linux and Open Source enthusiast, another area I may be able to help is testing any new software for the Linux platform.

Please reach out about any or all the topics if interested.

prancing389

I want to thank Doug and the rest of the team for having me on MoneroTalk. For those that might wish to contact me for any reason, my email address is [email protected]

I'd like you to discuss this topic on an upcoming MoneroTalk.

I'd also appreciate some instruction on how I might join in the live chat so that I could join in on the episode where something like Bastyon is discussed.

TODAY'S 🎙SHOW: Douglas Tuman interviews Paul Sztorc, an OG Bitcoiner and Dev and the inventor of Bitcoin drivechains.

The two discuss Topics including Bitcoin's stagnation, the potential of Monero to be the worlds digital cash protocol, issues with Lightning Network adoption, drivechains as a scaling solution, why Bitcoin has not adopted them and the possibility of Monero to do so.

They also discuss Monero's superior privacy technology and utility for payments and the need for cryptocurrencies to provide actual utility beyond being a means of speculation.
