08/17/2017 Interview with Bytecoin Community Leader- Jenny Goldberg [ TEXT VERSION

Hello, my friends! Here I have posted a 'near' flawless transcript of a CCN Interview with Bytecoin Community Leader, Jenny Goldberg. I have seen other text versions of the interview, but all were missing parts, sometimes important ones at that. I have spent quite a while trying to get it all, but still have 'holes'. I have underlined the parts I am uncertain of. For those parts I cannot confirm validity of "my translation". I have left the place underlined if I wasn't able to recognize the word.

Please comment and contribute!

We're all in this together ;)

INTERVIEW

Paul: Thank you for tuning in, this is Paul Madore reporting for CryptoCoinsNews.
Jenny Goldberg on the line. She's the Bytecoin community leader at this time, and she's here to talk to us today at CCN about what's going on with Bytecoin -they've got something new coming out, and to talk about some other things so Hi, Jenny How are you?

Jenny: Hello Paul, I'm very fine. How are you?

Paul: I'm Well, thank you. So earlier this year there was an exploit in the Cryptonote protocol. I know the whole thing has been resolved, and it's not a thing to worry about anymore, but I was hoping to get you to address that because it hasn't really been fully spoken about in the media much, so if you could just give us a little bit on that.

Jenny: Yeah for sure about the exploit. I'm not qualified in the technical part a lot, that's why I cannot give you any professional IT comments, but what I am going to tell you is that Bytecoin, as the other crypto currencies is a complicated technical development. As any other normally developing organisms sometimes they are a pure sandbox not going to be released. And during the exploit I know there was only 3% of the total amount of Bytecoin and as I know that is not a really big amount to really worry about. Of course it wasn't good but the issue was solved. That's what I told you about the exploit.

Paul: Alright, very well. So tell us about untraceable tokens.

Jenny: Yeah, we laid all our efforts to develop a wallet integrated solution that will allow anyone to create your own Bytecoin based token. I guess it's very very important to develop improvement program, and it will be the first completely untraceable token created under the cryptonote protocol and this tokens will be compatible in Bytecoin wallets and other clients using the same protocol. That means the users who are willing to create your own tokens will get already developed user-friendly ecosystem relating to their tokens, which will be very useful for them. And, maybe you have read in our blog, there will be some technical issues about it, some features at untraceable payments using the ring signature and unlinkable transactions with random data by the sender.
[3:08]
Paul: Okay, so that's interesting. So if tokens are untraceable, how you can through ring signature crypto you can still verify that the amount of coins in this system and everything is correct, right?
Jenny: Yeah. I think, Yes.
Paul: Yea, that's how ring signatures work- you don't have to know who is authenticating, just that what they're saying is true, and agreed upon That's what I know of it anyway from an ______ perspective. It's very high level, very advanced technology that Cryptonote is based on.

Jenny: That's right, That's right.

Paul: Bytecoin being the first implementation, I don't think anyone is surprised that it's experienced the first problems and luckily the others get to learn from it, and Bytecoin continues on.

Paul So what else is going on? What else do you have to tell us about, I heard something about a lightweight wallet and some other software coming out?

Jenny: Yes, that's true. We have already published our official road map and there's knowledge, I got the message today from our community development that they have finished the web wallet, and now we are testing it, and yes there are some bugs but I guess we'll fix it and maybe after tomorrow we will release our first web wallet created together by the community, and It will be official for Bytecoin users.

Paul: Very good. So that's very soon then, interesting. What else is going on?
[5:00]
Jenny: The most I can tell you about the marketing strategy, and as you can see for the past few weeks we've made great work. There was a updated wallet, new road map, unblocked on Poloniex- it's very important. And I want to tell......
Paul: And we're back online at HitBTC as well, correct?
[5:21]
Jenny: Not really, cuz it was a problem that should be seen not with us. So it was their issues, and yeah it will takes a few days to solve it. And as we, of the whole of our community, and I wanted to thank you every user who laid your efforts to help us, and of course in the future we have very big ideas on how we will develop. First we are going to develop our Bytecoin brand,I guess it's a very important thing, and we are already in the process in building the reliable partnership and corporation. We are going to move mostly to the e-commerce, There people will be able to buy different things.... using only Bytecoin. I guess it's a very important thing for the ecosystem because now there's almost nowhere where you can use Bytecoin.

Paul: So you can create a situation where people are only able to use Bytecoin for certain things that will possibly increase the value of those things that are desirable."

Jenny: Yes, that's my main idea. We will cooperate with different exchanges. Also a different online store, and maybe not only online, I hope. And what else? We are going to create several things like T-shirts,___, bags, cups. I have got a lot of requests about it from our community, and I guess it's very important for them to "touch" their coin, if you know what I mean.

Paul: Sure.

Jenny: And I guess the best way for that is to create the art and everybody, every person will be able to print on their favorite T-shirt -their favorite coin.

Paul:sure..uhhh
Alright, well is there anything else?

Jenny: yes, yes...in our further plans as today's published information about podcasts, as I have got a lot of questions from the community for our team, for our development team I guess its very important if most of them will be answered and my main idea is to create something like a podcast, which we will release one in two weeks.

Pauls: AHA, _____.
Jenny: And the idea is where the person will ask their questions and the most up-voted and the popular top 5 questions will be answered. It may be other technical as in marketing, any question they would like to hear, and know.

Paul: Alright, very good. That sounds like a good idea.

Jenny: Yeah. but our main goal in marketing, I didn't tell it, is our national marketing strategy, and now we are looking for the national community manager. We are going to start with Singapore, China, Korea, Japan, Spain, and South America because we will feel very strong support from that side.
[8:50]
Paul: Nice, So , why do you th....

Jenny: One I can tell you about is the Asian Region.

Paul Sure, So what about Venezuela or other places where they are experiencing inflation? What about Bytecoin there?

Jenny: We are in proccess and we will help every region , where we have big and high interest in Bytecoin for sure, without no exception. But I will tell you the region from where we should start.

Paul: Is what?

Jenny: Singapore, China, South America, Spain, Korea, that's.. India....
Paul: So thats the "World Domination Thing"
Jenny: I guess we havent 'argued'?...We can include? India.
Paul: Yea. Well India has a lot of people as well, so that could be a powerful network effect for the price of Bytecoin and the use of Bytecoin.
Jenny: Mhmm

Paul: I mean it's totally imaginable now, that Cryptocurrencys outside of Bitcoin or even Ethereum or Litecoin would be accepted. People will make their own Ethereum tokens and whatnot. It's totally imaginable. So Bytecoin plays a role, Bytecoin and all other cryptocurrencies have a chance to seize the day while interest is high.
[10:25]
Jenny: Yeah, I guess we are the generation who accepted this currency already. There are lot shops where you can buy different things and stuff using the Bitcoin, and I guess in the future it will happen to Bytecoin also, at least we are working on it.

Paul: Sure, especially if Bytecoin is able to offer their own tokens, then lets say a Coffee shop could give out tokens as a gift cards or whatever.

Jenny: Yeah for sure, that's a good idea.

Paul: Well alright it's been good talking to you Jenny Goldberg, thank you for your time
this has been an update on Bytecoin, perhaps we will do another one later in the year to check up on the project. How does that sound?

Jenny: Yeah that's good. Thank you too. It was really nice to talk to you.

Paul: Alright, have a nice day.
