Well thanks to John Foss' newsletter here is the tech info for Seraphis:

https://gist.github.com/tevador/50160d160d24cfc6c52ae02eb3d17024These are mammoth consensus changes in my opinion. Monero has always had a somewhat progressive approach to consensus level changes.
I am not technical enough to know what the risks are (and I am pretty technical). But I can see well enough that this stuff is going to introduce a lot of possibility of risk.
I am not trying to FUD by any means.. and the Monero community has ALWAYS had an environment welcoming dubious opinion. So I am stating a firsh blush opinion that I hope the right amount of caution is being taken in introducing these changes.
I think it would be naive to assume that there are not powerful, smart, actors that would love to change monero in a way that would cause it to have a chink in it's armor.
How do we know that consensus changes of this level are not exactly that?
Here's something I wondering about... First just to let you guys know, I haven't been reading a whole lot of info about XMR in Reddit and Twitter for more around 4 years now, my Twitter account is now exclusively following some guys doing MMA prediction stuff and I've unfollowed everybody in crypto.
The only guy I tag or ping in crypto is Fluffy and that's just in tweets that are related to helping dogs.
Anyway, the thing I'm wondering about is if Fluffy supports the changes or not...
