+# 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). 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)
+
+# Funding
+
+Work for 25 hours per week over the next 3 months (from September to end of November 2024) at a rate of 45€ / hour. At 147.94€ / XMR (90-day EMA) this makes ~99.0 XMR.

+## Carrot Peer Review
+
+This CCS will provide funding for the first step towards a Carrot implementation in Monero. Carrot is a specification for a backwards-compatible addressing protocol, as well as a new wallet key hierarchy for the upcoming FCMP++ consensus upgrade. This peer review will be over the specification, not any specific implementation. CypherStack was chosen for this audit from among several firms during the Monero Resarch Lab meetings the last couple weeks.
+
+## Scope / Deliverables
+
+A full peer review of the spec document [[link](https://github.com/jeffro256/carrot/blob/master/carrot.md)]. Note that at the time of writing this proposal, the paper is not yet published in a peer-reviewed conference/journal.
+
+The deliverable is a write-up which will include security proofs for all properties listed in section 9. It will also include notes on weaknesses, issues, or recommendations (if any). In the case that a security proof is not possible, a note will be included describing why that proof is not possible. In the case that CypherStack requires more funds to complete the security proofs, an MRL meeting will be held and a new CCS may be opened.
+
+## Out of scope
+
+- Multiparty computation. There are no specific protocols presented for this, and no corresponding security model of proofs of security.
+- Collaborative construction. For the same reason as multiparty computation.
+
+## Funding
+
+Because CypherStack has had a long successful history with Monero, has agreed to accept the XMR directly, wishes to mitigate volatility risks, and has received upfront payment for reviews before, the 126 XMR for this review is to be paid out in full to Cypherstack immediately upon reaching the funding goal.

+1TB ram for new MRC server
+
+I finally purchased a new epyc server, and I need to get ram for it. I was just going to get the minimal needed to make the thing mine some xmr, but figured we can pack this thing to the gills to provide some monstrous compute capacity for monero R&D.
+
+For some background, I manage the Monero Research Computing cluster, which is essentially just my mining rigs that I've put more ram and storage in. I provide access to the MRC to various monero researchers and developers, so they can get some stuff done. The rigs mine when there is no activity by the users. 
+
+Currently, monero researchers are primarily using the box "Junior", which is a 64 thread AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3970X with 256 GB ram (max ram for the mobo). There is a 5x nvme striped lv thingy that allows for some fast swap, but its still just swap. This rig was upgraded years ago through the CCS (https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/gingeropolous_zenith_storage.html) to provide ample storage space for researchers (74 TB HDD - funded by me, 14TB nvme - funded by CCS), as working with the monero blockchain requires storing and moving massively large files. I have other boxes, but they are your average mobo that can take a max 128 GB. Rucknium has been able to do some distributed compute across all the boxes (at one point 7 or so boxes?), but I've found most folks just want a single box with massive amounts of ram. 
+
+This proposal is for funds for me to purchase 1 TB of ram to install in a new 2x 7h12 server (256 threads!) so monero researchers can stop fiddling with memory constraints when working or waiting for the poor 64 threads to chug through their tasks. The system maxes out at 4 TB (!!!!), so perhaps if funding goes over the request and hits enough to get more ram, then that will happen. 
+
+This is important for the community because more compute ==  more research capabilities for monero researchers. This request was already brought up during a monero research lab meeting, and the members were interested in adding this capacity to our cluster. 
+
+Milestone 0 isn't included, because its me purchasing the 2x epyc server. I just did that. So thats done. 
+
+Milestone 1 is when I have the 2x epyc server up and running with 1TB of ram installed. I'll take a screen shot and upload it. 
+Timeline: 3 months? This should all be done by 2025-02-01 at the latest, but I expect this to be up and running by 2025-01-01.
+
+Amount: I plan on purchasing this ram:
+https://www.ebay.com/itm/225753803091
+
+So that comes out to around 15 xmr. I'm requesting 20 xmr for some padding and to pay for some of my time and I'll probably end up buying more stuff I wouldn't need for mining (like a 4TB nvme for the box because always more storage). If I receive a lot over the requested amount, I'll consider either finding higher quality ram (anyone have any input on that A-tech stuff?) or more ram.

+# Who?
+Hi everyone, I'm HardenedSteel. I've been in Monero ecosystem and contributor for a couple of years. My previous contributions in the Monero ecosystem are:
+
+* Maintenance of getmonero.org[1](https://github.com/monero-project/monero-site/issues?q=involves%3Ahardenedsteel)
+* featherwallet.org[2](https://github.com/feather-wallet/feather-site/issues?q=involves%3Ahardenedsteel)
+* revuo-xmr.com[3](https://github.com/rottenwheel/revuo-weekly/issues?q=involves%3Ahardenedsteel)
+* Helping to newcomers on Reddit[4](https://www.reddit.com/user/HardenedSteelX/), Monero StackExchange[5](https://monero.stackexchange.com/users/12826/hardenedsteel), Monero.Town[6](https://monero.town/u/HardenedSteel) and helping them to onboard Monero ecosystem[7](https://github.com/HardenedSteel/Help4XMR)
+* Translation of Monero.com (and Cake) Wallet[8](https://github.com/cake-tech/cake_wallet/pull/724).
+* and more...
+
+# What?
+I will continue maintaining getmonero.org but with greater level. This will entail reviewing pull requests, fixing issues, adding new content and following social media (such as Reddit and Monero.town) to identify new issues and feature requests for those who do not use GitHub etc.
+
+Furthermore, I will (attempt to) continue contributing to other Monero ecosystems in my spare time.
+
+# Why?
+Many people in Monero community (such as both core and non-core devs and people on social media) complains the website isn't maintained well and there are only a few people working on the site.
+
+# Milestones
+This proposal is only one month since it's my first proposal and requesting 5 XMR for it. Depending on the feedback from the community I'm planning work more than month.

+- A developer (kewbit) has stepped forward to work on the project.
+- Due to these reasons, this proposal is deemed void and the remaining 453XMR will be repurposed.

 Hello again everyone. As promised, after improving Haveno's structure, we come back with a new (much cheaper) CCS proposal.
 
 For a complete picture and all details, [see our initial proposal](https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/284), which assumed the old structure with centralized operators.

+### Haveno Multi-Platform Native App for Android, iOS, Windows, MacOS and Linux
+
+**Author**: Kewbit  
+**Date**: 19/08/2024
+
+# Proposal termination December 31st, 2024
+
+A contractor presented themselves to the CCS for the sole purpose of creating a Multi-OS Haveno App using a portion of funds from the abandoned Haveno frontend proposal. [1] (of which 378XMR remain)
+
+There has since been a public controversy surrounding this proposal/contractor. [2] [3]    
+
+The CCS itself is devoid of opinion/emotion regarding 'extra curricular' activities. [4]
+
+As per the Community meeting on December 7th [5], the partial payout request was unanimously denied.
+
+During this meeting, Woodser, the lead developer of Haveno suggested [6]:
+> [a] deadline to release the code, in hopes of getting the code for the greater benefit of the project
+
+Whilst the majority voted to close the proposal with immediate effect.
+
+Community trust and sentiment plays a significant role in our Crowdfunding System. For this contractor, it has been **irrevocably and permanently lost**.
+
+On December 10th the contractor was *explicitly informed* [7] to not expect payment outside of milestones 2.
+
+_"Work done as per your proposal is work paid"_: 
+
+* As per the contractors own admission[8] on December 21st via another partial payout request, the work is not done. 
+
+The decision is simple and the contractor is to blame. They:
+* Will not continue working on the proposal until a partial payout is made. (This will not happen again)
+* Demand a decision as soon as possible.    
+
+All deadlines have passed:
+
+* The latest, mentioned by the contractor in their own proposal (*31st December*)
+* The community calling for immediate closure (*December 7th*)
+* One mention of allowing an extra week to complete[9] (*December 14th*).
+
+* Given this, the expert witness review will now focus solely on:
+  1. Validating the legitimacy of the previous Milestone 2 payout (75 XMR)[10].
+  2. Assessing the utility of the existing open source code for future development.
+ 
+If Milestone 2's work meets the proposal requirements and the existing source code is of high quality, despite being incomplete, a new team or contractor can continue the development after a more stringent vetting process if the community wishes to continue this venture.
+
+Should the review expose any shortcomings in the payout review process, these will be addressed moving forward.

+
+## Overview
+
+The Haveno Multi-Platform Native App will be an interface for decentralized applications that can connect to the Haveno Daemon, allowing users to conduct transactions in Monero (XMR) using the Haveno decentralized network. Users will be able to buy and sell multiple fiat currencies with their XMR through Haveno. The app will be able through all app stores and installers, or you can build from source.
+

+## Security Considerations
+
+- **Open Source**: All software created will be open-source, and only auditable, open-source libraries will be used. The project will be released under the AGPL 3.0 license upon completion.
+- **Tor Integration**: The app will enforce Tor usage, requiring users to connect via a Tor VPN relay (such as Orbot or InviZible). Without a Tor connection, the app will not proceed past the splash screen.
+- **gRPC Protocol**: The app will connect to Haveno Daemon using the native gRPC HTTP/2 over Tor (not translated from HTTP/1.2 or HTTP/1)
+- **Haveno Integration**: The app seamlessly connect to any Haveno Daemon hosted anywhere (using .onion via Tor)
+- **Censorship Resistance**: By abstracting the VPN relay away from the app itself and requiring Orbot or InviZible, we avoid potential censorship issues. The app will not require VPN-enabled entitlements that need signing, thus preserving its censorship-resistant nature. The app will be available on [F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/en/).
+- **Secure Device Linking**: The app will support secure linking to a running desktop or server instance via a QR code containing a hashed password in the URI of the Onion Link. [Onion Client Authentication](https://support.torproject.org/onionservices/client-auth/) will be available fro advanced users.
+- **Native Libraries**: The app with use native library per OS directly from trusted sources.
+- **Service Segregation**: Each component of the software will run under it's own service on Dekstop versions, you'll be able to manage the services via a System Tray on Windows, Linux and Mac operating systems.
+
+## Features
+
+- Ability to connect to any Haveno network that you want
+- Customize based on your locale
+- Ability to see Haveno network trade offers
+- Start trades, open your own trades
+- Chat with the peer trader
+- Open disputes if a transaction isn't working out and chat with an arbitrator
+- Manage your payment accounts for both crypto & fiat
+- Get notifications when your have new trades or chat messages (local notifications that don't depend on Google's push notification system)
+- Deposit and withdraw from your wallet
+- Beautiful candlestick trading view for Haveno network activity
+- System Tray to manage your Tor & Haveno Daemon services, keep your daemon online without the client open for mobile users.
+- Docker image will be available for advanced users contingent on colaberative efforts between the Haveno DEX team.
+
+## Installers Available As:
+
+- **Linux**: **.AppImage**
+- **Windows**: A windows **.exe** file.
+- **MacOS**: A **.pkg** file or an **.xarchive** file
+- **Android**: A **.apk** or **.aab** file
+- **iOS**: A **.ipa** file or an **.xarchive** file
+
+## Possible Future Plans
+
+- Matrix integration for server-side notifications to the mobile device (this might be nessesary for iOS users to get notifications reliably and timely.)
+- Design the P2P protocol from Haveno in Dart, so that you may not depend on the Haveno Daemon for the app to work (Standalone Mobile App)
+- A redesign of the desktop version of the app to fit the Figma design plan in [haveno-design](https://github.com/haveno-dex/haveno-design/blob/master/haveno_mockups.pdf)
+
+## Purpose
+
+### What the Proposal is About
+
+This proposal aims to bring the Haveno / Monero ecosystem together through Haveno with a user-friendly, multi-platform app that considers security, censorship resistance, and hardware wallet support. I would like to continue adding value to this project so am seeking funds to priorize it beyond the 2 months I scoped out myself.
+
+### Who Will Complete the Proposal
+
+Kewbit (kewbitxmr@protonmail.com)
+
+### Why It Is Important for Monero and the Community
+
+This app is crucial for the Monero community because it promotes a censorship-resistant and decentralised ecosystem. There is great difficulty in finding places to trade XMR due to certain website closures and crackdowns. By intending to make the app available on multiple OS and platforms, including on F-Droid, Play Store, and App Store, we ensure that it reaches a wide audience, including those who prefer non-traditional Android phones using Play Store.
+
+## Milestones and Projected Timeline
+
+- **Create the User Interface**
+  - **Funds**: 75 XMR
+  - **Status**: Started
+
+- **Write the Protocol Interface**
+  - **Funds**: 75 XMR
+  - **Status**: Started

+
+## Expiration Date
+
+I do not intend for there to be an expiration date. I plan to release the app quickly as I am working on it full-time, even before producing a CCS. I see this as an ongoing project but expect to have a beta absolute latest by 31st December 2024.

+
+## What
+[Cuprate](https://github.com/Cuprate/cuprate) is an alternative Monero node implementation, currently worked on by me and [Boog900](https://github.com/boog900).
+
+The next large section that needs work is the RPC server. Another contributor, [yamabiiko](https://github.com/yamabiiko), is also interested in working on the RPC server, although they currently have limited time, so I'll be starting on it alone for now (with much help from Boog900).
+
+## Who
+I'm [hinto-janai](https://github.com/hinto-janai).
+
+Past CCS: https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/422.
+
+## RPC server
+yamabiiko has started a discussion on the design for the RPC server [here](https://github.com/Cuprate/cuprate/issues/106), and Boog900 has suggested some changes.
+
+The first milestone's time will be spent on:
+- Fleshing out the current proposal or potentially finding better alternatives
+- Preparing an initial design document, similar to [`database/`](https://github.com/Cuprate/cuprate/pull/35)
+
+The current design for the database was spread out across several months, although, the design for the RPC server should take much less time.
+
+After a design is set, the second/third milestone will start on the RPC interface library - the timeline for this is by the end of this CCS. This includes testing, documentation, etc. The current plan is to separate the interface from the inner RPC handler. After the interface is finished, the internal handler(s) will be finished in another CCS (potentially split between contributors).
+
+By the end of this CCS, the initial design document will be polished to reflect the implementation, similar to [here](https://github.com/Cuprate/cuprate/blob/main/database/README.md), and user documentation will also be finished (again, like `database/`).
+
+The resulting design document will be added to [Cuprate's architecture book](#cuprates-architecture-book) (see below).
+
+## Other work
+There's also other work that I believe would be beneficial to start on earlier rather than later.
+
+These will be started on during this CCS:
+
+- Cuprate's architecture book
+- Persistent transaction pool
+- `monero-core` RPC PRs
+- Benchmarking suite
+- Project lints
+
+The persistent transaction pool will be finished within this CCS, the rest will grow alongside the project.
+
+### Cuprate's architecture book
+This is a book similar to [Cuprate's protocol book](https://monero-book.cuprate.org), although it will be for Cuprate's implementation. The RPC design will be documented in this book (along with every other component) as they are implemented. The current [database document](https://github.com/Cuprate/cuprate/blob/main/database/README.md) will be ported to the book as well.
+
+Current rough draft: https://hinto-janai.github.io/cuprate-architecture
+
+Expected included items are:
+- Relational map of components (RPC, DB, block downloader, verifier, etc)
+- Component designs
+- Thread model (when/where/how many threads get spawned? for what purpose?)
+- Resource model (files, sockets, memory usage)
+- Instrumentation (logging, data collection methods)
+- Known inefficiencies/tradeoffs, their reasoning
+
+### Persistent transaction pool
+Considering RPC implementation will take a while, implementing a persistent transaction pool sooner rather than later would be preferred; another option Cuprate has is to create an in-memory only transaction pool, although this would only be a stop-gap and would take more work in the long run, thus this work will be done now.
+
+### `monero-core` RPC PRs
+As I'll be going through all of `monerod`'s RPC methods/objects and [`getmonero.org`](https://www.getmonero.org/resources/developer-guides/daemon-rpc.html) documentation, I will open PRs to `monero-core` or create an issue if I notice any discrepancies.
+
+### Benchmarking suite
+Creating a benchmarking suite for Cuprate's components would allow for collecting and storing information on code execution time. This data can be used later on to detect performance regressions as well as measuring optimizations.
+
+Creating a bespoke benchmarking tool would be a project of its own, so Cuprate is planning to use the [Criterion](https://bheisler.github.io/criterion.rs/book/criterion_rs.html) project.
+
+### Project lints
+Lints cause compiler warnings to become hard errors, blocking compilation. An example: [`serai-dex`](https://github.com/serai-dex/serai/blob/21123590bb600323aa424f64ffaa5d321b1b22ed/Cargo.toml#L135-L184).
+
+Cuprate's CI already fails on warnings (among other pedantic things), although there are many additional lints we could add. Selecting the lints that make sense for Cuprate sets higher code standards for the project. Setting this up and fixing current code should not take too much effort, but it will be drawn out over time.
+
+## Funding
+I am asking for a rate closer to market rates, please read [here](https://gist.github.com/hinto-janai/8ce1d4847f51304aa4d71c3614408d7f).
+
+I am asking for $65 + 0.05 XMR per hour for 480 hours at $130/XMR. This gives 264 XMR.
+
+Recent activity has shown that `monerod` does not handle load well. Furthermore, there is little system-level documentation; changes needed to fix issues like this are more difficult than necessary. I do not believe this has to be repeated.
+
+I believe this is a fair rate for creating well documented and maintainable infrastructure. I am also asking for less hours than before as I don't believe I can continue at my current pace long-term.

+---
+
+## What
+[Cuprate](https://github.com/Cuprate/cuprate) is an alternative Monero node implementation.
+
+The next section that needs work is the RPC handlers. The design, interface, routing, types, and (de)serialization were completed in my previous CCS, see here:
+- Past CCS: https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/456
+- RPC interface tracking issue: https://github.com/Cuprate/cuprate/issues/183
+- RPC book: https://architecture.cuprate.org/rpc/intro.html
+
+This CCS is for the handlers, i.e. the functions that turn requests into responses.
+
+Once the handlers are complete, Cuprate will have a working RPC stack that [mostly](https://architecture.cuprate.org/rpc/differences/intro.html) mirrors `monerod`.
+
+## Who
+I'm [hinto-janai](https://github.com/hinto-janai).
+
+## RPC handlers
+The 1st/2nd milestones are for the RPC handlers. This is the majority of the work.
+
+This includes:
+- JSON RPC handlers (methods behind `/json_rpc`)
+- Binary RPC handlers (binary endpoints, e.g. `/get_blocks.bin`)
+- Other handlers (other JSON endpoints, e.g. `/get_height`)
+
+The RPC handlers will most likely be in its own library/section, built on-top of the RPC libraries Cuprate has so far. The current RPC interface library ([`cuprate-rpc-interface`](https://github.com/Cuprate/cuprate/tree/main/rpc/interface)) allows for custom handlers, as in, the mapping of `request` -> `response` can be customized. The handler created in this CCS will be a standard implementation that (mostly) follows `monerod`'s behavior, i.e. request comes in, get some data from the database and such, return a response. Although, other implementations are possible, such as an RPC handler that caches blocks, as mentioned in [this meeting](https://github.com/monero-project/meta/issues/996#issuecomment-2086710102).
+
+Testing, [crate (library) documentation](https://doc.cuprate.org), and [architecture book](https://architecture.cuprate.org) sections will also be written.
+
+### Binary strings
+There are a few RPC methods that require further discussion before implementation in Cuprate, see the [binary strings proposal](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/issues/9422).
+
+If the above proposal finds consensus on future `monerod` behavior, this CCS will implement that behavior.
+
+If more time is required for the proposal, the related endpoints/methods will be left in a semi-unfinished state until behavior is agreed upon, where after Cuprate will implement that behavior.
+
+If the proposal does not move forward, Cuprate is planning to fallback to implementing `monerod`'s current behavior.
+
+## Other work
+The 3rd milestone is for any miscellaneous work that needs to be done for Cuprate, but also, these 2 concrete things:
+- Lints
+- Benchmarking
+
+I'd like to focus on these as:
+- If they're always pushed to the side, they'll never get done
+- I believe it's important to establish these early on in the project
+
+I started integrating lints & benchmarks into Cuprate last CCS, this CCS will finish integrating them for all the libraries I've written so far, and [other libraries](https://architecture.cuprate.org/appendix/crates.html) if time allows.
+
+The issues tracking the progress of these two can be found here:
+- https://github.com/Cuprate/cuprate/issues/207 (lints)
+- https://github.com/Cuprate/cuprate/issues/208 (benchmarks)
+
+## Funding
+I am asking for $65 + 0.05 XMR per hour for 480 hours at $158/XMR. This gives 221 XMR.

+
+Cuprate is preparing its first alpha release, with a 4-week cycle. A progress report for 2024 is [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/1ij2sw6/cuprate_2024_progress_report), the roadmap for 2025 is [here](https://github.com/Cuprate/cuprate/issues/376). I will be buying/renting a variety of hardware for testing/development and will post receipts for all hardware acquired at the time of exchange within this CCS.
+
+If developer resources becomes a bottleneck for FCMP++ activation on `monerod`, I will switch priority when/where possible. This was discussed [here](https://github.com/monero-project/meta/issues/1137). Otherwise, I will continue working on Cuprate Q1/Q2 goals noted in the project roadmap, specifically: user book, release cycle, RPC integration [1](https://github.com/Cuprate/cuprate/issues/379).

+
+## What
+
+Work full-time 3 months on:
+
+- Integrating full-chain membership proofs++ into Monero under RingCT.
+  - As part of this CCS, I will prioritize and guarantee completion of the following in this PR: https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/9436
+    1. Trim the tree on reorgs and when popping blocks.
+    2. Key image migration.
+    3. Optimize tree building where possible.
+        - Multithreaded output conversion to leaves.
+        - Multithreaded hashing.
+        - Batched inversion.
+    4. Construct fcmp++ transactions.
+        - I anticipate updating `cryptonote::construct_tx_and_get_tx_key` for this, and not touching wallet2 in this proposal.
+        - By the end of this proposal, there will be a modular function wallets can use to construct fcmp++ txs, but I may not have an end-to-end functioning wallet that can construct fcmp++ txs implemented by the end of this proposal.
+    5. Verify fcmp++ transactions.
+    6. Consensus changes for fcmp++.
+        - New unlock time logic.
+        - Allowing new fcmp++ RCT type.
+        - Implement a grace period for current tx types in the pool at the fork to make it into the chain.
+        - Misc. necessary changes.
+  - Work together with @dangerousfreedom on full wallet scanning.
+  - The remaining integration tasks that I would also work on if time permits and someone else doesn't:
+    - Construct fcmp++ transactions in a fully functional wallet.
+      - Pre-requisites: modular function to construct fcmp++ transactions and full wallet scanning.
+    - Implement the RPC route for light wallets to query for paths in the curve trees tree.
+    - Wallet changes for background syncing.
+    - Multisig.
+- Continuing Seraphis wallet library work.
+  - Making it clear up front: I anticipate not making much progress on the Seraphis wallet library work in this CCS. I plan to prioritize fcmp++. If time permits, I would work on bringing the Seraphis wallet library to production.
+  - To be clear, working on the Seraphis wallet library is not implementing the Seraphis upgrade; it is bringing the Seraphis wallet library, which supports scanning today's blockchain, into the core Monero repository. This would speed up wallet scanning today, and is part of an effort to deprecate wallet2 and its technical debt, and replace it with the Seraphis lib ([source](https://github.com/seraphis-migration/wallet3/issues/64#issuecomment-2067030930)).
+  - Next I plan to resolve merge conflicts in the current open PR's, and open all piecemeal PR's to the core Monero release branch to prepare Monero daemons/wallets and reduce the size and scope of the async scanner PR.
+- Misc. review, debugging, etc.

+## What
+
+In the last three months, the likely direction of the future of the Monero protocol changed
+drastically with all the work done to bring FCMPs to RingCT. At my last CCS proposal, I
+proposed that I would be working on the Seraphis wallet and consensus integrations. Then
+I shifted gears to implementing [Jamtis-RCT](https://gist.github.com/tevador/d3656a217c0177c160b9b6219d9ebb96#).
+I propose to refine this codebase and produce and LWS-client demo, in order to have these
+set of features complete before the FCMP++ upgrade, assuming all goes well. This codebase
+can currently construct `cryptonote::transaction`s with Jamtis info encode in the `extra` field,
+and then successfully scan that data. Here is a non-exhaustive list of points that need
+work with this library:
+
+- Legacy address integration and testing
+- Optimization: post-primary-view-tag scanning is about 20% slower than expected
+- Testing against actual FCMP++ composition proofs
+- Multi-threaded compute
+- A live, over-the-wire LWS demo for evaluating the filter-assist/hidden enote trade-offs
+
+I would also like to work on replacing `wallet2` internals with the Seraphis library 'legacy handling'
+code, as discussed at this Github issue: https://github.com/seraphis-migration/wallet3/issues/64. A few people
+are already working on it, but it will need a lot of manpower to bring it to fruition.
+
+
+## Who
+
+I have been contributing to the Monero core repository for [over two years](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pulls?page=2&q=is%3Apr+author%3Ajeffro256) with a total of [68 merged commits to master](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/commits?author=jeffro256) thus far. I also began working on the Seraphis migration project, so you can see some of my contributions [here](https://github.com/seraphis-migration/monero/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Ajeffro256) and [here](https://github.com/UkoeHB/monero/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Ajeffro256). Some more notable contributions from this last quarter:
+
+- Implemented [Jamtis-RCT](https://gist.github.com/tevador/d3656a217c0177c160b9b6219d9ebb96#) into the Seraphis library [here](https://github.com/jeffro256/monero/tree/jamtis_rct). This branch provides support for storing Jamtis scanning data into `tx_extra`, and performs a unit test where a pruned transaction is constructed addressed to Jamtis payment proposals, and then successfully scanned for both plain and self-send enote types. The way this branch was written merges the code paths for doing Jamtis on RingCT and Seraphis together. It could use some cleaning up, and the Seraphis multisig tests need to be updated, but otherwise all Seraphis tests are passing.
+- Some other Seraphis stuff including a unified transaction format for Cryptonote, RingCT, and Squashed-Seraphis transactions.

+## Payment
+
+I propose to work 40 hours/week for 3 months so `40 (hours/week) * 3 (months) * weeks_per_month = 40 (hours/week) * 3 (months) * (365 / 12 / 7) (weeks/month) = 521` hours total on-paper, though I usually work more than that. The proposal is broken into 3 milestones, one for each month. I am setting my hourly rate at 46 USD/hour (+1 USD/hour higher than last quarter), and at a market price of 163.97 USD/XMR, that makes for a total of 146.2 XMR. Price was calculated as 14-day simple average of opening prices on [CoinGecko](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/monero/historical_data) from 2024-06-01 to 2024-06-14 (day of writing), same as last quarter.
