Good interview. Not too long and enough context. I get the feeling listening to Andre speak that he's just so far ahead of the game when it comes to issues such as POS v POW and the impact of AI that even those quite well versed in crypto are lagging quite aways behind.

It bodes well for Zano though that we are lead by a visionary - a few visionaries if you include other members of the team. Also the interviewer is correct at pointing out that Zano is constantly innovating and moving in a forward direction which is a sign of a healthy project.

[Yep]

This was a very interesting interview, particularly the discussion about how AI is already being used as an engineering tool within the project.

I may be mishearing a very brief remark at around 38:00, and Andrey’s wording is not entirely clear to me, but I think he says something close to:

“It could be that not quantum computing will destroy most of crypto, but actually AI, way earlier than we expected.”

I am also not certain whether “crypto” here means cryptography itself or the wider cryptocurrency ecosystem. If he means the latter, I agree with the broader point: AI may expose weak code, automate attacks and eliminate fragile projects much sooner than many people expect.

My only reservation is that the comparison may unintentionally make the quantum risk sound more distant than recent developments justify. Progress has been remarkably rapid on both the theoretical and practical fronts. Taken together, recent advances suggest that estimated resource requirements are falling and that major engineering barriers — including error correction, control integration and the challenges of monolithic scaling — are being reduced faster than older expectations assumed.

I hope I am not reading too much into a passing remark, but I also hope it does not reflect an underestimation by the Zano team of the extraordinarily rapid advances in quantum computing. For Zano, this is not merely a future signature replacement: output ownership, anonymous authorisation, key images, commitments, confidential assets and private Proof of Stake all depend on the present elliptic-curve domain. If preparation begins too late, that dependency could become an existential security risk on a much shorter horizon than is often assumed.

The gold is the optimal range between PoW (monero/BCH) DPoS (vaulta/zano) PoS (eth/Zano)

Is Zano scalable to 10 billion users for the next 1000 years?

Thanks for building zano it is critical in my stack.
