- Get new serialization routine merged (work on piecemeal PRs for reviewers sake)
- Complete work necessary to merge [DANE/TLSA in wallet2/epee](https://github.com/vtnerd/monero/tree/improve/dane_tlsa).
- Adding trust-on-first-use support to wallet2
- Add msgpack support to monerod-ZMQ (requires merging of new serialization system)
-`monero-lws` work:
- Optional full chain verification for malicious daemon attack
- A accept-all-new-accounts mode similar to MyMonero behavior (instead of manually callback)
- Webhook for new account creation (prevents polling for new accounts)
- ZMQ pub support for incoming transactions and blocks (notifies of _any_ new transaction or block)
- Create Github Actions that run unit-tests and provide binaries
- Provide official LWS docker-image
- Provide official snap/flatpak/appimge (tbd one or all of those)
- Provide pre-built binaries
- (Unlikely) - reproducible builds so community members can verify+sign the binary hashes
More than 3 months listed there, priorities may change as community requests or issues arise.
## Who
Lee Clagett (vtnerd). I've had [three](https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/vtnerd-tor-tx-broadcasting.html)[CCS](https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/vtnerd-2020-q4.html) [proposals](https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/vtnerd-2021-q1.html). The [full list of my monero PRs since last CCS](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Avtnerd+created%3A%3E2021-02-17). I've also written a [msgpack implementation](https://github.com/vtnerd/monero-lws/pull/63) for the new serialization system (in Monero-LWS), an [admin REST](https://github.com/vtnerd/monero-lws/pull/62) api to Monero-LWS, as well as [webhooks for incoming transactions](https://github.com/vtnerd/monero-lws/pull/66)(including a [zero-confirmation](https://github.com/vtnerd/monero-lws/pull/72) for webhooks) (instead of the previously proposed ZMQ-PUB). [Unit tests](https://github.com/vtnerd/monero-lws/pull/53) were also finally added to Monero-LWS.
## Proposal
Work on the various tasks outlined above for 40 hours/week over the next 3 months after potential funding. I already use time-tracking software for work; if the hours dip in a given month unexpectedly, the update/milestone will be at the completion of the hours listed above.
The funds were calculated with 55 USD/hour with ~137.10 USD/XMR which is the 14-day exponential moving average on Kraken through 2023/06/11.
