+
+### Who
+
+We (binarybaron and einliterflasche) are two Monero enthusiasts from Berlin and both computer science students. We have been excited about XMR<>BTC atomic swaps since the COMIT team started development of their prototype. binarybaron has contributed to the project since its early stages while einliterflasche joined later on.
+
+### What is this project anyway?
+
+The project mostly consists of four parts:
+
+1. A command-line utility ([ASB](https://github.com/comit-network/xmr-btc-swap/blob/master/docs/asb/README.md)) that enables individuals to operate a 'swap provider' service. These swap providers offer to sell Monero in exchange for Bitcoin.
+2. A command-line interface ([CLI](https://github.com/comit-network/xmr-btc-swap/blob/master/docs/cli/README.md)) that allows users to connect with swap providers and exchange their Bitcoin for Monero.
+3. A graphical user interface ([GUI](https://github.com/UnstoppableSwap/unstoppableswap-gui/)) that utilizes the CLI behind the scenes, making the swap process way more user-friendly.
+4. A command-line utility for hosting a [rendezvous point](https://github.com/comit-network/rendezvous-server) in the decentralized discovery network. Swap providers can register at these nodes to make themselves known to the network. CLI users can retrieve a list of swap providers.
+
+### What we have been working on over the last 2 years:
+
+- Developed an early web interface to simplify XMR<>BTC swaps. This project has since been deprecated and replaced with a desktop GUI. 
+- Stepped in as maintainers for the [xmr-btc-swap](https://github.com/comit-network/xmr-btc-swap) project which includes the ASB and CLI applications. We have become the main developers fixing issues, implementing new features and pushing out releases.
+- Developed the [GUI](https://github.com/UnstoppableSwap/unstoppableswap-gui/). Last year alone, more than 3,000 swaps were completed using our GUI. Since we completed our second CCS from May 2022, we worked on the project during our free time. This is also the reason we weren't able to dedicate as much time to the project as we'd like to and, frankly, as it deserves.
+- Running a mainnet swap provider to kickstart adoption that has performed over a thousand swaps with users. This has been put on pause for now as more swap providers have emerged.
+- We have also been hosting, and developing publicely accessible infrastructure
+    - An API service that gathers a list of all known swap providers. This can be used in the GUI and also by others in the community (e.g [OrangeFren](https://orangefren.com/)) in addition to rendezvous points.
+    - A reliable rendezvous point
+- As part of our efforts to make atomic swaps accessible to the general public we have have been writing [documentation](https://docs.unstoppableswap.net/) for atomic swaps in general as well for the GUI and CLI applications.
+
+### Proposal:
+
+We're excited to keep working on atomic swaps. While swaps work realiably under optimal conditions, there are still many imperfections. We are confident that given a few months time to fully dedicate to the project, we can transform the ecosystem from more of a proof of concept into a mature marketplace.
+
+We are asking the community for funding in order to be able to focus our efforts on improving the atomic swaps ecosystem.
+
+We request 729 XMR for continued development for 6 months. At the end of each month 121.5 XMR will be paid out. We will dedicate 35 hours of focused work per week per person. Our hourly rate is 60 EUR. We're calcuating these amounts at a current average price of 138 EUR/XMR.
+
+We will be providing monthly detailed updates in the comment section.
+
+### What we will be working on
+
+We will continue to maintain both the GUI and the underlying CLI/ASB by:
+- Planning, coordinating and implementing new features and bug fixes,
+- Coordinating releases,
+- Keeping in touch with users and the community as a whole as well as offering a built-in feedback system in the GUI.
+
+Furthermore, we will continue to manage some community infrastructure:
+- We host a [webpage](https://unstoppableswap.net/) for the GUI as well as [documentation](https://docs.unstoppableswap.net/).
+- We maintain both a public registry of swap providers as well as a reliable node in the decentralized discovery network.
+
+For the CLI and ASB, which form the backbone of the GUI and swap provider infrastructure respectively, our focus will be to improve overall reliability. While swaps work consistently under optimal conditions, there are many moving parts, leading to various challenges in practice. These challenges include:
+- Reliably staying in sync with both the Bitcoin and Monero blockchains,
+- Completing swaps amid connectivity issues,
+- Discovering peers in the network,
+- Maintaining backwards compatability between peers (network protocols),
+- Handling concurrent swaps,
+- Accounting for blockchain congestion,
+- Stringently enforcing protocol compliance,
+- Ensure fail safety when swaps can't be completed,
+- Minimizing the manual intervention required (e.g having to manually refund in some edge cases),
+- ...
+
+For the ASB daemon specifically, our focus will be on enhancing its ability to handle large amounts of liquidity reliably. We will also make it easier for a wider range of individuals to become a swap provider and sell their Bitcoin for Monero. This will improve competition and in turn lead to lower markup rates. Our work will include:
+- Developing user-friendly tooling to simplify the setup and operation of the ASB and its accompanying services.
+- Improving ASB extensibility and automatability by implementing an JSON-RPC server:
+   - Swap providers can connect to their ASB using a standardized OpenRPC protocol
+   - This will enable providers to:
+     - Dynamically adjust their exchange rate based on current conditions and market assessment
+     - Flexibly set maximum and minimum swap amounts according to their risk tolerance
+     - Automate access to internal Bitcoin and Monero wallets for fund management
+     - Listen for all kinds of events
+- Enabling anyone to automate their ASB service to their liking by developing easy-to-use connector libraries for popular programming languages (e.g. Python, TypeScript, Rust, Java).
+
+Integrating the RPC server and developing client libraries will take a lot of work and large refactors, but it will be worth the effort. It will enable the creation of custom applications and scripts built on top of the ASB. This will open basically unlimited possibilities but the most obvious use cases include:
+   - Complete access to statistics and internal data and logging
+   - Adjust exchange rate and minimum swap amount based on current Bitcoin transaction fees
+   - Listening for specific events and executing custom actions e.g. sending notifications or replenishing funds by executing trades on other platforms
+   - Integration of Bitcoin privacy protocols (e.g., CoinJoin, Whirlpool) for received funds
+
+For the GUI itself our focus will be to:
+- Make the GUI more accessible to non technical users (e.g. tooltips, explanations, ...),
+- Provide documentation for end users as well as technical documentation to improve transparency and attract new developers,
+- Work on migrating the GUI framework (from Electron to Tauri) to simplify the architechture,
+- Release an Android (and possibly iOS) version of the GUI.
+- _(We are also looking into a web version, powered by WebAssembly, which can run in browsers. This may not be possible and will require extensive refactors in the code base.)_
+- Build a new UI for hosting and managing the ASB from inside the GUI. Thereby enabling selling Monero for Bitcoin.
+
+### Why
+
+We want to enable anyone to reliably acquire Monero by building an anonymized, decentralized and trustless market that is resiliant to censorship. We believe that by realizing the potential of this project we can bring this to reality.
+
+A mature ecosystem will attract more users and swap providers. This will lead to increased liquidity and competition and thus make atomic swaps a viable alternative to centralized exchanges.

+---
+ 
+monero-serai and monero-wallet are public-good libraries built by myself as part of my work on Serai DEX. Despite the "-serai" name, both libraries have always been intended to be usable and actually used by the Monero community as a whole. Development has been ongoing for over two years. During that time, I have hired developers to work on and review it (including j-berman who truly needs credit and acknowledgement for their contributions), yet have never seeked community funding for my work. Now that monero-serai and monero-wallet are ready for their 1.0 release, meaning they have reached the necessary milestone to be considered sufficiently developed and meaningful, I have decided to request the community's support for their audits.
+ 
+monero-serai is a from-scratch reimplementation of the Monero transaction protocol in Rust. It originally also
+included wallet functionality yet that was split out into the monero-wallet library to offer greater
+flexibility to consumers.
+ 
+monero-serai is used by Cuprate[[1]](
+  https://github.com/Cuprate/cuprate
+)[[2]](
+  https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/405
+)[[3]](
+  https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/422
+)[[4]](
+  https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/431
+)[[5]](
+  https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/456
+)[[6]](
+  https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/469
+)[[7]](
+  https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/484
+) for its parsing/handling/stateless verification of Monero transactions. Specifically, included is:
+ 
+- An implementation of v1 and v2 transactions
+- Cryptonote ring signature, MLSAG, and CLSAG verification
+- Borromean, Bulletproofs, and Bulletproofs(+) verification
+ 
+monero-serai also underpins monero-wallet, a Rust library for sending and receiving Monero. It's intended to have a clean, high-level API, be usable in a variety of contexts (from desktops to embedded devices to web browsers), and support everything from traditional wallets to more novel use cases (such as atomic swaps). As part of this, it offers:
+ 
+- Proving CLSAG, Bulletproofs, and Bulletproofs(+)
+- Honest-sender outgoing view keys (deterministically derived transaction keys to simplify payment proofs and allow verifying transactions match an intent)
+- A FROST-inspired multisig which has O(1) per-signer upload complexity and O(n) computational complexity, compared to Monero's multisig which has O(n!) complexity (where n is the amount of signers)
+ 
+Potentially of most note is the work on multisig. FROST is a widely regarded, [IRTF standardized](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc9591/) multisignature protocol for Schnorr signatures which I've applied to Monero's CLSAG (caveats apply). The application to CLSAG is built upon [modular-frost](https://github.com/serai-dex/serai/tree/develop/crypto/frost), a FROST implementation I wrote for Serai and have already [prior audited](https://github.com/serai-dex/serai/tree/develop/audits/Cypher%20Stack%20crypto%20March%202023).
+
+Monero has historically had issues with its multisig which has a novel high-complexity DKG and a signing protocol which isn't formalized (though is currently Musig2-inspired). monero-wallet represents an opportunity to step forth with a formalized, proven, and audited multisignature implementation. One idea occassionally brought up has been to remove multisig from Monero proper, placing it in its own distinct repository, in order to not have multisig burden Monero. With the work done on monero-wallet, and the audit being funded here, completely deferring multisig to it would become a viable option.
+ 
+monero-wallet has also been checked to have a matching decoy selection algorithm (specifically, a matching distribution of selected decoys), fee algorithm, and various other properties (such as TX extra) to ensure its transactions won't be fingerprintable.
+ 
+There is interest by multiple wallets to use monero-wallet, and it's already being developed on top of by Serai, a user-facing multisignature use case, and an application premised on web technology (which compiles monero-wallet to WASM).
+ 
+This CCS is to fund the formalization of the implemented CLSAG multisig protocol (already outlined), provide the necessary security proofs (derived from FROST), and audit monero-[serai, wallet]. The audit will be done by Cypher Stack (their quoted amount being the amount requested). The one milestone is to be paid directly, immediately, and in full, to Cypher Stack for their work.
+
+After the audit, the plan is to transfer monero-serai into the newly created [monero-oxide](https://github.com/monero-oxide/monero-oxide) organization (head by myself and boog900 from Cuprate). This is to help ensure it stands as a public good and doesn't solely service a single project's needs. Additional discussions are ongoing regarding the future governance of monero-wallet.

+# Monerotopia 2024 Marketing & Publicity
+
+Hi! As discussed in the [previous community meeting](https://libera.monerologs.net/monero-community/20241026#c451916), I am proposing that we [spend the unused funds](https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/70#note_26878) from the last Monero Outreach CCS on marketing & publicity for Monerotopia 2024, which starts next Thursday. I would be the key point of contact for the PR firm and will provide a final report on what's been achieved.
+
+Our events are the perfect opportunity to publicize/advertise Monero and so far we haven't done a good job at that. This proposal is a first step in changing that.
+
+**Estrategia Blue PR**, a leading publicity firm in Mexico, has made a [proposal](https://github.com/geonic1/geonic/blob/master/Monerotopia%20Proposal.pdf) and they are ready to start today. We need to engage them ASAP. Vik Sharma has agreed to handle the payment and receive the XMR at no surcharge. The proposed budget (~$5500) is within the remaining amount (36.68 XMR or ~$6000), which we intend to spend in full with more (or less) media buys, depending on the actual amount received by the firm.
+
+As the only remaining, active member of Monero Outreach, I believe this is a good use of the funds and in the spirit of what the donors wished to support.
+
+Cheers!
+geonic

+Welcome ladies and gentleman, kids and pets.
+
+Lets skip the intro.
+
+  BasicSwapDEX is, as far as I know, Monero's only Bidirectional Atomic swap service, and the only one that allows swapping monero with coins not named Bitcoin (such as Litecoin). 
+
+  BasicSwapDEX has been mainnet for a while now, but is a beta / POC. With this CCS I hope empower and steward BasicSwapDex to production quality software within ~1 year. Some milestones are to be paid to ofrnxmr in advance. I'm also requesting that some funds be escrowed by the CCS Coordinator.

+
+The scope of work is quite large. You can follow Particl dev report (going back to January) for current, ongoing and planned work, which is ever evolving.
+
+Should any part of this CCS fail, I may choose to redirect remaining funds to fork the project or to acquire devs willing/able to complete it.
+
+In the event of total failure, all unused funds will be donated to a 2/3 multisig (The elusive "jetfund") with the COMMUNITY Coordinator and 1 other [TBD] party, to be used **as the community decides**....Though, im ofrnxmr. I'm not _fill in name of scammer_. I will see this through to completion.
+
+##### Coverage
+- M0/M1/M2 = Month 0-3
+- M3-O = Month 4-12
+- M3-X = Month 4 'til Completion of M3-X milestones (target = ~6 months)
+- M4 = Completion of M3-X milestones til the later of completion of M4 or Month 13
+- M5 = 12 Months. Earliest payouts may begin is the later of completion of M4 or Month 13
+
+**This CCS allows the Monero Community to lead the space to a goal of having a FOSS, trustless, unregulatable, P2P, decentralized, liquid economy, with _0 platform fees, 0 dev taxes_ and _0 targets_.**
+
+**I would hope (and assume) that non-monero communities who are under constant threat for having cypherpunk ideals (_cough_ BTC, BCH, ETH, and whoever else shares our ideals) will also support and donate to this endeavor.**

+# Who?
+
+Hello, plowsof here, I show up and try to be helpful. My [previous](https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/plowsof-com-rel.html) [proposals](https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/plowsof-ccs-coordinator-2.html) [happened](https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/418), [previously](https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/plowsof-ccs-coordinator-4.html) [again](https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/ccs-coordinator-5-plowsof.html). I would like to make it happen again, and do more of the same things.
+
+# What?
+
+- Gather consensus for CCS proposals. (feedback from GitLab/IRC/Reddit).
+- Organise bi-weekly meetings to discuss proposals / current events (more if necessary).
+- Provide decisions in 1 month or less (Yes/No to being funded or if something has to be changed with the proposal to satisfy our community).
+- Be impartial when communicating with CCS proposers - everyone gets a fair shake.
+- Checking up on the WIP list to find / fix problems early (e.g. payments overdue or proposers AWOL).
+- Take responsibility for the entire CCS process - It's my fault when 'things go wrong'.
+- Someone who is online for several hours a day / 7 days a week that knows what's going on.
+- Act as a liaison to Core - keep them informed of whats happening / poke them when required / handle their requests.
+    - As part of this CCS, you will also be sponsoring my work when quality assurance testing new features/bug fixes each release cycle in the GUI, CLI, and RPC wallets.
+    - And Getmonero.org contributions.
+- Consultancy before / during / after the idea stage.
+- Secretarial tasks for https://bounties.monero.social/ (requesting payouts upon completion of bounties and such)
+
+
+## Proposal
+Work for 25 hours per week over the next 3 months (from April to end of June 2025) at a rate of 45€ / hour. At 201.72€ / XMR (90-day EMA) this makes ~72.60 XMR.

+### Deadline update: July 1, 2025
+
+Prior to the deadline, the proposer MUST provide regular updates on their progress as per the CCS rules.
+
+If the provided updates/progress (or lack thereof) is unsatisfactory, all remaining funds **can be** relinquished either before or after the deadline.
 
+The community will then seek another person/team to take over. If this cannot be accomplished within a reasonable timeframe, the funds will be repurposed or reallocated to a similar proposal (subject to community consensus).

+# What
+
+I will maintain Revuo Monero (https://www.revuo-xmr.com/) for the next 3 months (2024 Q4): October, November and December. There is a chance I may skip one week to tend to real life issues, in such case, next issue will just cover 2 weeks instead of the usual 1.
+
+Tasks:
+
+- Daily/weekly: search, curate, structure and publish new issues.
+- As Needed: outreach (engage with the community on Matrix, XMPP, e-mails, social media, Workgroup channels).
+- As Needed: make sure the website is live and working as expected (server maintenance, billing, etc.)
+- As Needed: cover code enhancements/fixes expenses, sysadmin consultations and additional Revuo tools/services for the community. 
+
+# Who
+
+rottenwheel, I joined the Monero community some time in 2017 by jumping into IRC, attending some Workgroup meetings, volunteering at the Monero village at DEFCON 28 in 2019 (https://redlib.zaggy.nl/r/Monero/comments/cqegma/monero_village_defcon_2019_report/), participating in community events and being involved with other community-driven, smaller projects.
+
+As a proof of work for this specific proposal, I have, since January 2022 until now, written almost 200 issues, 195 of which were published in current Revuo's self-hosted website. That does not take into account the following enhancements.
+
+Up to this point, all efforts behind Revuo Monero's comeback after Diego "rehrar" Salazar was let go and Revuo Monero's publication was paused for a few months, include but are not limited to:
+
+- Light/dark theme with a toggle button (mostly in CSS/HTML, minimizing the reliance in JavaScript as much as possible; site loads everything just fine in Tor browser with strict security mode on.)
+- Support and Source Code sections added.
+- RSS and Support icons.
+- Google fonts removed.
+- Twitter and Nostr profiles set up and posting new issues every week automatically. Twitter: https://nitter.poast.org/revuoxmr; Nostr: https://primal.net/p/npub1tn8spk9zhxrctg2qym3gj8r7eq2wk6z3phrl8304wc54vt9qam4qvzw6jx
+
+**New**: Revuo Calc, a moner.ooo fork that had its original code shrunk by half (# of total lines), improved upon and it offers 2 versions, adjusted according visitor's browser settings: JavaScript-free front and JavaScript-friendly front; think of Tor users and clearnet users. The cherry on top? Its own subdomain hidden service as well. See: https://calc.revuo-xmr.com/ // Source code: https://github.com/rottenwheel/moner.ooo/ 
+
+# Proposal
+
+I will publish weekly issues (4 per month) at a rate of $120 / issue. Using MA10 - Moving Average 10 (10 days) of ~$170 / XMR at the time of writing this proposal, this makes for **8.5 XMR** (~8.47058++...) [(120 * 4) * 3 = $1440) to be split in three (3) monthly milestones. Rounding ~8.47058++... XMR to 8.5 XMR to cover for price votatility between Work In Progress phase and progressive milestone(s) payouts.
