Update

We're back! here is a brief summary of events before we get testing:

• After the CCS wallet was drained a Vote was held to determine if luigi should continue as an escrow.
• Feedback obtained from the community determined how the new CCS wallet would be created/used in a secure manner;
  • A new, single-purpose, air-gapped laptop was purchased (bluetooth/wifi disabled).
  • The OS is Debian, and FeatherWallet will be used to sign and transport transaction files (via QR codes)
  • Special thanks to tobtoht of FeatherWallet who worked tirelessly to push out a new version with convenient air-gapped signing capabilities, and every community member who offered feedback on how to best move forward.
• The exact amount stolen + 21 XMR extra was sent to the General Fund (X / nitter)
• The machine where the drained wallet resided is being forensically anaylised to determine if it was compromised.
• Luigi will escrow a temporary wallet until the 31st March 2024.

We must now begin to prepare for a 'post March 31st CCS' and wish everyone a merry RandomX'mas and a happy new year!

Milestone 1

Lets test the new CCS wallet by raising approx ~$12.16 / 0.069XMR to subsidise transaction fees for several hundred consolidations/payouts for the next 3 months.
