Who

• published 3 MO Blitz reports (https://www.monero.observer/tag/analysis)
• created several guides on GPG encryption, RSS feeds and Monero contributors (https://www.monero.observer/ultimate-guide-new-monero-contributors/, https://www.monero.observer/gpg-cleartext-signatures/, https://www.monero.observer/gpg-generate-full-keypair/)

Proposal

I will work for 25 hours per week over 3 months at a rate of 0.07 XMR / hour. At $220 / XMR (10% buffer) this makes 21 XMR (0.071003).
