It’s been an amazing year for @zano_project!
After years of hard work, the project is finally starting to gain the recognition it deserves. This is just the beginning, but as I look back over the past year, I can’t express enough how much I appreciate the incredible work our team has accomplished.
It was only the spring of 2024 when we rolled out Zarcanum upgrade - a milestone we’ve been building toward for years - and the transformation since has been extraordinary. Zano has grown from being just private money to a platform poised to become the new home for countless initiatives that value privacy!
This means the world to me. I’m so proud to be part of it and firmly believe this is another important step that will written in the history of blockchain tech.
A huge thanks to @pavelravaga @crypto_sowle @Mr_Kwibs @Thies__29 @Gonbat03 - as well as the others who prefer to stay out of the spotlight - for the amazing progress we’ve made together!
We would also like to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to the amazing supporters who have stood by us. Your belief in the project has been a true driving force. Special thanks to @AaronRDay and @rogerkver, whose support has been invaluable. Roger, we stand with you through the unfair legal challenges you’ve faced, and we hope that the new year brings a resolution to this situation. Your influence and contributions are truly priceless, and we remain inspired by your strength as we continue this journey together.
Excited for what’s coming in 2025!

Bitcoin's vision as a new form of money was betrayed by the very first altcoin, which created its own supply. This sparked a snowball of altcoins and flooded the industry with scam artists.
We should have built all those new blockchains to transact Bitcoin instead.
And stablecoins... because rent isn't getting paid in memes

Felt the same way, was glad to have opportunity to shed some light on controversial cryptonote history, thanks to @monerotopia @DouglasTuman
First day at @monerotopia and it's so refreshing to meet people who care about privacy. I feel like I've been transported back to 2013 when people were excited about payments and actual use cases. Got to see @_cryptozoidberg's presentation on the history of CryptoNote too!

Agree with Ross
Roger Ver was there for me when I was down and needed help. Now Roger needs our support.
No one should spend the rest of their life in prison over taxes. Let him pay the tax (if any) and be done with it. #FreeRoger

it was a few years of hard work, i think the biggest update we ever made on Zano codebase, and i believe the biggest transformation that CryptoNote codebase had to this day
thanks to the team @crypto_sowle @pavelravaga @Mr_Kwibs and to all who contributed to project!
Dear zAnons,
We're THRILLED to announce that the moment we've all been eagerly awaiting has finally arrived: the release of the new builds/binaries in anticipation of the #Zarcanum hard fork is HERE!⚡️
This groundbreaking release introduces game-changing features, including support for Proof of Stake with hidden amounts, and activates Confidential Assets.🌟
Here's what changes with the upcoming hard fork:
🔹Ring size upgraded from 11 to 16 (better privacy)
🔹Confidential Assets feature activated
🔹World's first Proof of Stake scheme with hidden amounts activated (whilst remaining hybrid PoW/PoS)
🔹Burning of ALL network transaction fees activated
🔹Decoy selection algorithm improved
🔹Consensus improvement (making double spend attacks even harder)
🔹100+ other minor improvements
As we've been actively working towards this major update for multiple years, our entire codebase got a makeover, and very few things were left untouched.
To seamlessly transition to this cutting-edge codebase, we kindly request everyone to update their wallets/nodes to the latest release. No additional steps are required!✅
🗓️Mark your calendars: #Zarcanum will go live on mainnet at block height 2555000, approximately one month from now. Code source: github.com/hyle-team/zano/bl…

Free Roger!
If anybody understands what it means to be a victim of lawfare, it’s @realDonaldTrump, and nobody understands it better.
@rogerkver is not actually guilty by the letter of the law.
The exploitation of a vague tax code is weaponized to attack the crypto community. A pro-crypto president does not let this stand.
Pardoning Roger Ver today would send a strong message that for the next four years, our pioneers will be supported to make America great again! 🇺🇸🗽

Actually my debate there was not about Zano PoS in particular, my goal there was to help Monero community/devs to overcome myths about PoS and to help them move forward building secure consensus.
@monerotopia was a great platform for that discussion thanks to @DouglasTuman
Boom 💥!! This debate about Monero PoW, #Bitcoin PoW and @zano_project PoS was really really nice. I learned a lot

Managed to squeeze in a follow up with @zano_project lead developer @_cryptozoidberg
Interestingly, this was an interview series that @RogerKVer was keen to see me refresh.
Can't really ask him at the moment, but what do YOU think he hoped I would uncover?
What else should I do to get to the bottom of this?

Felt same way, it’s very frustrating to see such things said from stage
Completely unhappy with the speaker after the tech panel I was on @ Monerotopia. Saying most of an ethnic group is evil is absurd and has no place at a Monero conference. I left before the Q&A section but I'd love to have asked what made them such an idiot.

To beat bitcoiners once and forever I would suggest Monero to seriously consider PoS.
Anyone who disagrees - welcome to challenge me on panel at MoneroTopia in May, would love to discuss it.

Another evidence that no such thing as "trust" should be at the foundation of any blockchain tech.
Long story short: So called TEE blockchains (Trusted Execution Environment) claimed to be private and secure, but turned out that it's not private and not secure.
check and mate!
We evaluated TEE-based blockchain Secret Network to see if it was susceptible to AepicLeak, and ended up finding the master decryption key for the whole network. Read more and see a testnet demo at sgx.fail

Oh no—NEVER sell your Bitcoin!
Instead, borrow fiat against it, buy car or other fun stuff, then wait for BTC to moon and borrow more!
and for the love of Satoshi: NEVER SELL BITCOIN!
kind reminder that bitcoin was meant to be spent
even the coins that you own are called utxos: unspent transaction outputs
don’t get psyoped into never improving your life, especially if you’ve made satisfactory gains
our lives are short, don’t forget to enjoy your time

@crypto_sowle told me we can make system, where a user can deploy such new asset(like erc20), with total supply 𝐡𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧 from third-party, but in a way that core still validate supply, only those who have this tokens can see total supply
Does anyone see practical sense?

Zano's wallet which is used for stress tests contains now about 3.8 millions of outputs, and still able to generate more than 10 transactions per second.

Couldn't agree more on that!
that's why CryptoNote has a very minimal dependencies, relying basically on standard C++ library, Boost and pieces of @hashbreaker library as a very foundation of the original CryptoNote codebase
Dependency minimalism (writing software that deliberately tries to have as few dependencies as practical) is a really underrated virtue imo.
Every single dependency is a risk that "something will go wrong" during someone's installation process. Installing projects with hundreds of dependencies and walking through errors can be incredibly frustrating.

shouldn't give to much power to developer's either
so far i believe that coin holders should have a right to make final decisions, it's not perfect but at least have some moral justification for me
i’d be really happy if bitcoin was more technocratic and meritocratic than it is democratic
why does the voice of the average cold storage hodler matter at all, when he doesn’t contribute to protocol development, doesn’t care about the mission outlined in the whitepaper, and is disconnected from the world of computer science and cryptography research?
as a podcaster, i’m not happy that podcasts are so influential in manufacturing consensus (or lack thereof).
the discussions on the dev mailing list should prevail over potentially trolly comments from random twitter users who might as well be ai bots or cia sockpuppets.

sometimes cmake have difficulties to locate boost built binaries, especially if it's been compiled to non-default folder, i'm not sure if setting this policy to NEW would fix it.
If you can provide more details I can help with this (in dm/discord/telegram)
Need to see exact path to binaries that you've built, also check if it's correct type of libraries against what you're compiling for (could be static/dynamic libs and also, singlethreaded/multithreaded), normally it static/multithreaded. Anyway, feel free to concat me in dm on x/discord/telegram

Confidential Finance should be the next big hit !
While I am not necessarily trying to promote the specific projects mentioned in the report, I do think it is a valuable and insightful read. In the future, I would like to delve into the topic of privacy as part of the next round of decentralized finance innovation.

Thanks for speaking up
Going to prison for the rest of your life over non-violent tax offenses is absurd. The case against Roger seems very politically motivated; like with @RealRossU, there have been plenty of people and corporations who have been accused of far worse and yet faced sentences far milder than what Roger is facing. The argument that the flashlight on him is motivated by things he said (namely, his advocacy of freedom and refusal to accept legitimacy of coercive state power) seems compelling. This is worth standing against, because selective prosecution for unrelated offenses is a common way of circumventing protections like the First Amendment (or in more authoritarian countries, even more basic things like the moral prohibition against punishing people for the crimes of their family members).
The US tax-by-citizenship and associated exit tax regime is extreme; the former is shared by almost no other countries in the world, and the latter is on the high end of what countries do (eg. UK only charges capital gains if you return within 5 years).
If the IRS did intimidate Roger's lawyers to get privileged information, that is a bad faith move; the right to consult lawyers in confidence must be kept sacrosanct. Genuine good faith mistakes should be treated by giving the actor the opportunity to pay back taxes if needed with interest and penalties, not with prosecution.
