What

This CCS proposal is for 3 months of full time Feather Wallet development.

Non-exhaustive list of things I want to work on / towards or experiment with:

• Prepare for next network upgrade
• Translations
• Persistent payment requests
• Recurring payments
• Reproducibe macOS builds
• More transaction types (e.g. multi-destination transactions with manual input selection)
• Improved wallet_api thread safety
• Move to Qt6
• Improving UI and documentation
• Fix bugs and issues as they arrise

I'll also:

• Work on upstreaming patches to core
• Help review pull requests on core / GUI where needed

As always I will rely heavily on user feedback to determine where to put my focus.

Who

Hi, I'm tobtoht. Creator of xmrguide and maintainer of Feather Wallet. I have been an active contributor to the Monero ecosystem since April 2018.

Some of the things I have worked on are:

• Worked on Feather Wallet full-time for ~1.5 years
• Created and maintained guides to set up Monero on Tails and Whonix (xmrguide, reddit)
• Made miscellaneous contributors to the GUI (most notably Tails support)
• Maintained a list of .onion remote nodes with their status

Proposal

Work 40 hours per week over the next 3 months (Nov, Dec, Jan) at a rate of 45 EUR/hour. At €232 / XMR (14 day EMA) this makes 93 XMR.

Progress will be reported in #feather on OFTC. Updates will be posted to /r/FeatherWallet in the form on release changelogs.
