Monero Talk interviews CypherStack founder Diego Salazar on FCMP++ status

In this Monero Talk episode1, Douglas Tuman2 interviews CypherStack3 founder and Stack Wallet4 maintainer Diego Salazar5, and researcher Luke Szramowski6 on the status of Monero’s upcoming FCMP++7 upgrade:

[..] we’re pretty happy now with divisors and we let MRL know that this past Wednesday [..] The actual issue was that Monero Research Lab wanted an answer within X number of weeks. [..] That was the whole Twitter scare of like ‘FCMPs has been delayed’. What was actually delayed by the way was the testnet. FCMPs itself was never promised at a particular time.. (Diego @ 27:20)

Several topics are discussed in this interview, including FCMP++ delay rumors, Stack Wallet features, Cypher Stack’s role in the Monero ecosystem, and other privacy projects.

It is worth noting that the FCMP++ Optimization Competition8 is still accepting submissions until June 30 2025 at 17:00 UTC.
