+## Proposal closure / Repurposing of funds (1st Jan, 2025)
+
+All remaining funds (22.86XMR) will be repurposed or reallocated to a similar proposal (subject to community consensus).
+
+## Brief Intro
+
+My name is Ciro S. Costa (https://github.com/cirocosta,
+https://twitter.com/utxobr), I'm currently a staff engineer, having previously
+being a core contributor to https://concourse-ci.org.
+
+Monero-wise, I've been mostly focused on the networking side of it, having
+implemented the basics of Levin's handshake in Go
+(https://github.com/cirocosta/go-monero) with full support for the
+Portablestorage format, which lets me create some interesting reports on node
+distribution (see https://twitter.com/utxobr/status/1386458317405540360) by
+crawling the P2P network.
+
+
+## Problem
+
+_**tl;dr**: there's no good solution for running a large number of monero
+nodes_
+
+For those with more than a machine or two to run Monero nodes (or even miners),
+there's not a good solution out there for having those up and running in an
+easy to upgrade fashion.
+
+It's great that folks like Seth provide wonderful guides on how to run Monero
+nodes (see https://sethsimmons.me/guides/run-a-monero-node-advanced/), and that
+within the functional tests in the codebase we can tell how to run regtest, but
+none of that helps with running a larger-scale setup.
+
+
+## Proposal
+
+_**tl;dr**: extend the Kubernetes API via its common extension system to provide
+semantics that make deploying clusters of monero nodes or miners with ease. See
+proof of concept at https://github.com/cirocosta/monero-operator_
+
+Kubernetes (see [what is kubernetes]) provides us with this vendor-neutral API
+for expressing what the desired state should be, and then behind the scenes,
+having that state achieved (and maintained) through the use of small
+programs whose whole job is to deal with going from current state to desired state.
+
+Aside from being offered by pretty much every cloud provider (and many VPS
+offerings out there too) and still remaining not vendor-specific, its API is
+open for extension, which we can leverage to provide extra functionality that
+it didn't have before.
+
+By extending the Kubernetes API via the use of [Custom Resources], we're able
+to provide a new semantics for the users of those clusters so that we simplify
+*a lot* running, say a few Monero nodes all configured the same across
+different machines
+
+
+```yaml
+kind: MoneroNodeSet
+apiVersion: utxo.com.br/v1alpha1
+metadata:
+  name: nodes
+spec:
+  replicas: 3
+  hardAntiAffinity: true
+  monerod:
+    image: utxobr/monerod:v0.17.2.0     # if testing a release candidate,  then
+    args:                               # just bump the image and the operator
+      - --public                        # will take care of rolling out, preserving
+      - --enable-dns-blocklist          # the data already synced.
+      - --enforce-dns-checkpointing
+      - --out-peers=1024
+      - --in-peers=1024
+      - --limit-rate=128000
+```
+
+which could be very useful for businesses like CakeWallet that run sets of full
+nodes (or literally anyone wanting to run highly-available monerod
+deployments), but it can be also useful for folks doing research like me,
+wanting to roll out a regtest network with many peers:
+
+```yaml
+kind: MoneroNetwork
+apiVersion: utxo.com.br/v1alpha1
+metadata:
+  name: regtest
+spec:
+  replicas: 20
+
+  template:
+    spec:
+      monerod:
+        args:                           # each replica has these args
+          - --regtest                   # plus `--add-exclusive-node`
+          - --fixed-difficulty=1        # pointing just at the other
+                                        # peers, forming a closed net
+```
+
+_(^ which under the hood gets materialized in the form of `monerod` instances
+pointing one at each other, with volumes attached and everything you'd want for
+a real setup.)_
+
+Naturally, we can do the same for miners, for instance, we can get to run 10
+replicas of `xmrig` against a pool like so:
+
+```yaml
+kind: MoneroMiningNodeSet
+apiVersion: utxo.com.br/v1alpha1
+metadata:
+  name: miners
+spec:
+  replicas: 10
+  hardAntiAffinity: true
+
+  xmrig:
+    args:
+      - -o
+      - cryptonote.social:5556
+      - -u
+      - 891B5keCnwXN14hA9FoAzGFtaWmcuLjTDT5aRTp65juBLkbNpEhLNfgcBn6aWdGuBqBnSThqMPsGRjWVQadCrhoAT6CnSL3.node-$(id)
+      - --tls
+```
+
+and then, if we regret chosing that pool, all it takes is patching the object
+and under the hood, our extension to Kubernetes takes care of rolling the
+updates out.
+
+_(aside: couple this with [horizontal pod autoscaler (HPA)] and you don't even
+need to pre-provision any underlying machines - if your provider supports HPA -
+as by making use of proper resource reservation, asking for extra replicas
+would trigger the creation of new machines)._
+
+
+[what is kubernetes]: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/what-is-kubernetes
+[Custom Resources]: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/extend-kubernetes/api-extension/custom-resources
+[horizontal pod autoscaler (HPA)]: https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/run-application/horizontal-pod-autoscale/
+[OpenMetrics]: https://github.com/OpenObservability/OpenMetrics/blob/main/specification/OpenMetrics.md
+[Prometheus]: https://prometheus.io/
+
+
+## The scope
+
+I currently have a working proof of concept
+(https://github.com/cirocosta/monero-operator) that implements those three
+custom resources mentioned above (`MoneroMiningNodeSet`, `MoneroNodeSet`, and
+`MoneroNetwork`).
+
+This CCS would cover:
+
+1. boosting the confidence in the codebase by providing more tests to cover
+   edge cases glanced over while building the prototype, as well as improving
+   installation and documentation as a whole
+
+2. adding support for Tor and I2P so that nodes and networks can be deployed on
+  annonimity networks with a line or two in the yaml while still running the
+  services with high availability
+
+3. improving the observability of the deployed `monerod` instances introducing a
+  sidecar to expose `monerod` metrics for any [OpenMetrics] consumer (like
+  [Prometheus])
+
+
+As a result, the community will end up with:
+
+- a Kubernetes extension that lets anyone deploy highly-available `monerod`
+  (and miners) on any Kubernetes-enabled platform
+
+- a Go package that they can rely on for interacting with `monerod`
+
+
+## The structure, milestones, and price.
+
+Working on this during my personal hours, I plan to do the work a few hours a
+day on the side (with a few healthy periods of break) until completion.
+
+The proposal is structured to be paid along with the delivery of the three points above:
+
+1. confidence in the codebase + installation/doc guides: ~10Hr
+2. support for Tor and I2P for full nodes and whole networks: ~15Hr
+3. observability of `monerod`: ~15Hr
+
+Assuming a rate of 100$/hr and a current rate of 404 USD/xmr (May 3rd, 2021):
+
+| deliverable | hours | usd | xmr |
+|-----|------|-----|-----|
+| 1 | 10 | $ 1000 | XMR 2.47 |
+| 2 | 15 | $ 1500 | XMR 3.71 |
+| 3 | 15 | $ 1500 | XMR 3.71 |

+
+# Introduction
+
+Hi, everyone! [v1docq47](https://t.me/v1docq47) is here!
+
+This is our new CCS proposal for a new work period for making Russian voiceovers of Monero Konferenco and Monerotopia video presentations and for the support of XMR.RU web-site
+
+# Who I Am?
+
+At the moment I'm the only representative of [XMR.RU project](https://xmr.ru/) and the maintainer of the modest YouTube channel dedicated to Monero ecosystem, "[Monero Russian Community](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChZc5PLsbP5zeFrmOYMKGmA)".
+
+[Since 2017](https://github.com/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Av1docq47+archived%3Afalse+is%3Aclosed+sort%3Acreated-asc) we've been working on translations and writing various articles and manuals about Monero in Russian.
+
+We also create [news](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixUamqRd3nc&list=PLQyX7h187qnQWtCN6brBXsB9QLEuaJWQO) / [informational](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOsHxWG5jNs&list=PLQyX7h187qnTqq4_-EAnp4HZk9eJpMvZK) / [tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bug2_NvHeNs&list=PLQyX7h187qnTGFHdrdZL7VRxQINEQZ2xJ) videos and make [Russian voiceovers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69Vszlx5PQ0&list=PLQyX7h187qnR3doOALJAmHv1mAVPNzNV9) of the key events happening in Monero Community and ecosystem into Russian.
+
+That is, we are doing localization of Monero project on Russian and creating informational / news videos, speeches and reports from all the Monero events (Monerotopia, Critical Decentralisation Cluster (36c3), Monero Konferenco etc).

+
+# What?
+
+Since our previous CCS proposal [didn't cover all Monero Konferenco 2022 presentations](https://trello.com/c/voUReLOW/1-monero-konferenco-2022-on-russian-voiceover) (the final part of videos was published on YouTube about 3 months ago), the first thing we are planning to do is to [finish the Russian voiceover](https://trello.com/c/ElHmwsLA/1-monero-konferenco-2022-on-russian-voice-over) of the remaining’s video, and by the time the work with Monero Konferenco 2022 will be over, we with all our great pleasure and interest will start to voiceover Monerotopia 2023 presentations.
+
+In addition, we are publishing text transcripts of all the talks both in Russian and English in a separate repository (similar to previous events like [Monerotopia 2022](https://github.com/v1docq47/monerotopia-2022-transcriptions), [Monero Konferenco 2019](https://github.com/xmr-ru/xmr_ru/tree/main/content/logs/konferenco-2019), [Monero Konferenco 2022](https://github.com/v1docq47/monerokon-2022-transcriptions), [Critical Decentralisation Cluster (36c3)](https://github.com/v1docq47/monero-cdc-36c3-transcriptions)) so that everyone could not only watch, but also read the text versions of the talks.
+
+We also plan as always to cover all key events happening in the Monero Community on a regular basis in our separate [news blog](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixUamqRd3nc&list=PLQyX7h187qnQWtCN6brBXsB9QLEuaJWQO).
+
+As always, the whole process and progress will be displayed in our dedicated [Trello bord](https://trello.com/b/i5ibESCu/may-2023-october-2023) (no worry, the [Monerotopia 2023](https://trello.com/c/6L9wVlos/4-monerotopia-2023-on-russian-voice-over) part of the table will be filled as the translations are published).
+
+P. S. We would like to point out that the new period of the financed work will not begin immediately. I mean not in April. It will begin in May. But this doesn't mean that in April we're going to have a rest. No. We just need to take a little breath and finish some other projects for XMR.RU web-site. It's always suffers the lack of our attention. In particular, we want to update all our tutorials for [wiki.xmr.ru](https://wiki.xmr.ru/), rewrite some tutorial videos concerning Monero CLI/GUI wallets, and make a separate short video block about mobile and hardware Monero wallets (all that work in April is not included into our current CCS proposal).
+
+# How much and Payouts
+
+14$ per hour, \~30 hours per week or \~120 hours per month (\~3-5 hours а day)  
+30-day average Monero price on Kraken \~155$ (on 22.03.2023)
+
+## In total
+
+64.8 XMR for 6 months work  
+10.8 XMR per month starting from May

+# Introduction
+
+Hi, everyone! [v1docq47](https://t.me/v1docq47) is here!
+
+This is our next CCS proposal for the new winter period for voiceover of [Monerotopia 2023](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcJiaPmldhQ&list=PLfJ_JjSwYaa810CWboNcPX7cY-JYEWo-4) and [Konferenco 2023](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsSYUeVwrHBm1m7IaU3JiDVb5EC7cn0KG) videos into Russian, creating other content for [Monero Russian Community Youtube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@MoneroRussianCommunity) and supporting [Russian Monero website XMR.RU](https://xmr.ru/).
+
+# Who I Am?
+
+[Since 2017](https://github.com/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Av1docq47+archived%3Afalse+is%3Aclosed+sort%3Acreated-asc) we've been working on translations and writing various articles and manuals about Monero in Russian.
+
+We also create [news](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixUamqRd3nc&list=PLQyX7h187qnQWtCN6brBXsB9QLEuaJWQO) / [informational](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOsHxWG5jNs&list=PLQyX7h187qnTqq4_-EAnp4HZk9eJpMvZK) / [tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bug2_NvHeNs&list=PLQyX7h187qnTGFHdrdZL7VRxQINEQZ2xJ) videos and make [Russian voiceovers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69Vszlx5PQ0&list=PLQyX7h187qnR3doOALJAmHv1mAVPNzNV9) of the key events happening in Monero Community and ecosystem.
+
+Besides we are publishing text transcripts of all the talks both in Russian and English in a separate repository (similar to previous events like [Monero Konferenco 2022](https://github.com/v1docq47/monerokon-2022-transcriptions), [Critical Decentralisation Cluster (36c3)](https://github.com/v1docq47/monero-cdc-36c3-transcriptions), [Monerotopia 2022](https://github.com/v1docq47/monerotopia-2022-transcriptions), [Monerotopia 2022](https://github.com/v1docq47/monerotopia-2023-transcriptions/tree/main/transcriptions)) so that everyone could not only watch, but also read the text versions of the talks.
+
+That is, we are doing localization of Monero project on Russian.

+- we are also planning to [launch a series of short videos](https://trello.com/c/B8mYhqH4/6-monero-tutorials-shorts) on working and interacting with Monero tools and wallets. The main idea behind this is to teach and show users that downloading, installing, mining, pruning the blockchain, sending and receiving transactions, etc. is simple. Just the key information, nothing superfluous
+- we will continue to publish weekly and quarterly news releases, translate articles and all kind of materials related to Monero for XMR.RU and Moneropedia
+ 
+As always, the whole process and progress will be displayed in our [Trello board](https://trello.com/b/UoHdgHLb/december-2023-may-2024).
+
+# How much and Payouts
+
+Because of the USD-RUB exchange rate, I reduced the price per hour to 12$.
+
+12$ per hour, \~30 hours per week or \~120 hours per month (\~3-5 hours а day)  
+30-day average Monero price on Kraken \~165$ (on 05.11.2023)
+
+## In total
+
+52.2 XMR for 6 months work  
+8.7 XMR per month starting from December

+
+# How much and Payouts
+
+10$ per hour, \~30 hours per week or \~120 hours per month (\~3-5 hours a day)
+
+30-day average Monero price on Kraken \~158$ (on 14.11.2024)
+
+## In total
+
+120 (hours per month) * 6 (month) * 10 ($ per hour) = 7200 / 158 (30-day average Monero price)  = ~45.6 XMR for 6 months work
+
+7.6 XMR per month starting from December

+# Offline Signing Library for XmrSigner Production
+
+## About
+
+This proposal aims to create a minimal library for offline signing on
+air-gapped devices, and make XmrSigner production ready to actual use secure, focusing on essential features:
+
+- Seed phrase generation (including polyseed)
+- Address and key generation
+- Account and sub-address management
+- Address verification
+- Output importing and Key Image exporting (raw and encrypted)*
+- Unsigned transaction handling (description, sanity checks, signing)
+- Block height and date estimation
+
+The library will be implemented in C++ with a C ABI, allowing use in
+multiple languages. It will be based on the current Monero source but
+without relying on wallet2, aiming for minimal external dependencies,
+not inventing the wheel again, nor rolling own crypto.
+
+Key objectives:
+- Comprehensive documentation (OTS library, OTS Python library, buildroot packages desired integrated into monero docs for a easy and quick start to build something)
+- Quick start guide for offline and hardware wallet developers
+- Documentation of challenges in stripping down and cross-compiling
+- Buildroot package for easy target system integration
+- Python module for library usage
+- Test code
+- Modification of XmrSigner to use this new library
+
+## Who
+
+Thor (vThor/DiosDelRayo), completed the [XmrSigner (MoneroSigner Resurrection) proposal](https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/%20MoneroSignerResurrection.html).
+
+## Why
+
+[XmrSigner](https://github.com/XmrSigner/xmrsigner), while functional, is currently more of a proof of concept than a
+production-ready tool. This library addresses several key issues:
+
+1. Performance: The current implementation using wallet RPC is slow,
+especially on resource-constrained devices.
+2. Security: Minimizing dependencies and code base improves auditability
+and reduces attack surface.
+3. Flexibility: A dedicated library allows for easier integration into
+various offline signing solutions.
+4. Resource efficiency: Stripping down to essential features enables use on
+lower-power devices.
+
+By creating this library, we will:
+- Bring XmrSigner to production readiness
+- Provide a foundation for future hardware wallet development
+- Explore the viability of using even more resource-constrained devices (e.g., MCUs) for offline signing
+- Build the basis for a lib which could also serve for quick payment way (seems there exists something like it called pocket change, was not aware of before) even if the customer is offline. Talked about that in [#monero-community](https://libera.monerologs.net/monero-community/20241018#c446995)
+
+A proof of concept has been developed to validate this approach:
+[c_abi_for_cpp_code_PoC](https://github.com/DiosDelRayo/c_abi_for_cpp_code_PoC)
+
+This library will significantly improve XmrSigner's performance, security,
+and usability while opening doors for more diverse Monero hardware wallet
+solutions in the future.
+
+## Milestones and Timeline
+# Offline Signing Library for XmrSigner Production
+
+## Milestones and Timeline
+
+### 1. Setting up documentation site (4 hours)
+
+All OTS library related will go into a fork of docs.get-monero.org and should take me no more than a blink of an eye to get going.
+For the XmrSigner related part I will setup the same mkdocs via github pages.
+This is apart from the Doxygen and Sphinx documentation, which I need to see how to make it best available on the way.

+
+buildroot is a build kit to create an embedded linux with the help of
+packages which get cross compiled for the target platform. Here the dependencies
+to build the OTS library from the monero sources need to be fulfilled.
+
+<details>
+<summery>Show more...</summary>
+A very critical part to use the library on the pi zero (or other target device - maybe modifications will be needed here fore).
+I build for XmrSigner before buildroot packages, but struggled to get monero-wallet-rpc as binary running on
+the pi via Buildroot (how I was building on the Pi itself and there are so many dependencies that finally I pulled
+the plug on that version, becauseit was clear that monero-wallet-rpc was only a temporary solution to finish the CCS
+in a running state)

+How I did that already outside of the last CSS, I need only to make some modifications,
+get the dependencies right, the biggest part will be testing and debugging if something
+goes wrong - I had this issue already, but hope that this time is minimal to use the calculated
+time for Milestone 9 because I really like to improve there. But 30 hours can vanish quick debugging
+issues there because it took like 30min to build on a 4c ore i7 with 16GB (lack at the moment something more powerful)
+and then flashing to microSD and test. But how from the buildroot image was forked from SeedSignerOS which stripped handy
+everything unnecessary away - good for security and speed - but terrible to debug.

+
+Getting all the XmrSigner stuff on one place together and the OTS library stuff on docs.get-monero.org, or
+at least in close reach.
+<details>
+<summery>Show more...</summary>
+Through the excessive amount of time the last CCS took the rebranding to XmrSigner and
+putting documentation and linking nice together suffered a bit. So here everything will
+get separated what is actual XmrSigner and what is needed to build a different Offline Signer
+from the OTS library and BCUR. So that XmrSigner is XmrSigner, and the building blocks a close to get-monrero.org
+as possible. All development resources should be on monero docs after the PR got merged, so there is a quickstart
+and all documents to create an offline signer pretty quick.

+
+### 9. (Optional/Stretch) Clean-up and Optimization (82 hours)
+
+Here is where my heart is, but after carefully calculating through the time, and catching myself,
+arguing on almost each point it could be done faster, and almost halving most points... I still with 138h more
+then the original 240 hours estimated. And instead of doubling or triple the time to have more air for unforeseen
+challenges I'm now even tighter, so that I probably will end up again working a lot of hours for free to get all done.
+But I still hope to safe enough time to get this milestone done, too.

+
+### 10. (Stretch) Xmr Signer Pure (Rewrite in C++) (98 hours)
+
+If I have the mega flow, I will continue here to move substitute the Python code
+to C++. Why C++ and not Go or not Rust? First I'm still learning daily in C++, but
+the more important reason, I think there is a benefit in thinking on a bare metal
+XmrSigner NG in future. [circle](https://github.com/rsta2/circle) and [libcamera](https://github.com/rsta2/libcamera)
+would make it possible to run XmrSigner on bare metal what is a C++ environment...
+So done this here well, most of the work would be already done for the next step.

+## Total Estimated Time
+
+Core Milestones (1-8): 392 hours

+*Note: This timeline is an estimate and may be subject to adjustments as the project progresses. The sessions are based on the Pomodoro technique to maintain high focus and productivity throughout the project.*
+  
+Given the significant time investment and potential challenges ahead, I
+propose a shift from my usual value-based pricing to an monthly rate for
+this project.
+
+Proposed terms:
+- 65 Promodoro Sessions (130 hours) per month for three months (196 sessions in total, first month one extra session)
+- Compensation: 1 XMR per session, making 66 XMR first and 65 XMR second and 65 third month. (196 in total)
+- I would kindly request a 20 xmr upfront on start from the first month.
+- Total compensation: 196 XMR
+
+Hours worked beyond in the running month shall roll over to the next month. If I can work some time out I will work
+on the optional/strech goals. If time is missing to get milestone 1-8 done in the calculated hours, I will work hours for free to get it done - I always do.
+
+I will commit every day my work, on starting each repository I will advertise them here in a comment an push my commits every day.
+And I will create a repository/blog or something as a daily logbook to document the work done and the daily progress.

+
+### Summary
+
+The goal is to build a secure messaging app with integrated support for Monero payments and a decentralized backend.
+
+The application will be based on the Signal fork [Molly.im](https://molly.im) (henceforth 'Molly') but with a privacy-focused backend that allows the user to sign up anonymously (without phone number), encrypt their local database with passphrase encryption, RAM shredding, and more.
+
+Monero features will include the ability to set up a XMR wallet, send and receive funds, keep track of the balance, and review the transaction history.
+
+### About Molly
+
+Molly is a fork of Signal for Android which began in 2019. Molly connects to the Signal servers and adheres to the Signal protocol, so Molly users can chat with their Signal contacts seamlessly. Over the last two years it has become a popular alternative to the official Signal and Signal FOSS clients for its improved security features, open source friendly approach, and growing community of contributors of all kinds.
+
+As we rely on the Signal for the server infrastructure we must adhere to Signal rules and limitations. All Molly features are improvements of the standard Signal client.
+
+Officially Signal takes the stance that they do not allow forks to connect to their servers. This has not always applied in practice since many projects exist that use their infrastructure. There is the risk, however, that Signal could at any time decide to enforce this policy in the future. While Signal could make the decision to disable forks, it is believed is not technically feasible to ban Molly from the Signal servers without banning also all devices without Google GMS services. This is due to the fact that the Molly app is identical to Signal from the server side.
+
+At present we want to decentralize the Molly backend. Signal currently offers no protection against traffic analysis and metadata harvesting in the server side. Molly can offer this improvement with a properly implemented decentralized backend.

+- Twitter: [@mollyimapp](https://twitter.com/mollyimapp)
+
+### MobileCoin Status
+
+MobileCoin payments in Signal are enabled only in a few countries: UK, Germany, France, and Switzerland. This restriction is enforced by the server. Recently the MobileCoin Foundation launched an [airdrop campaign](https://mobilecoinfoundation.medium.com/test-your-mobilecoin-wallet-through-a-beta-air-drop-7096b9dd9153) on Signal.
+
+MobileCoin has been disabled in Molly since the beginning of MobileCoin release.
+
+### Proposal & Milestones
+
+Showcase in-app payments with minimal setup. It includes the following phases:
+1. Deploying a minimal Signal compliant server
+2. Build a flavor of Molly that replaces MobileCoin with Monero and connects to this server
+3. Add automated end-to-end (E2E) testing to support further development
+
+High-level functionalities to be developed for payments:
+- Activate and deactivate payments
+- View transaction history and details
+- Change currency conversion for displayed balance (tentative)
+- Send a payment in-chat
+- Request a payment in-chat
+- Restore wallet from mnemonic seed
+- View wallet mnemonic seed and keys
+- Transfer in
+- Transfer out
+
+The server, for this stage, will be a monolithic instance of [Signal server](https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server) deployed in AWS. It will support basic messaging features but will not support audio/video calls, SGX dependent services like: PIN cloud backups, contact discovery, or multi-device support. There will not be phone number validation, it will be replaced with random virtual number generation to emulate the use of a validated phone number for the user at registration.
+
+This environment is not expected to scale to more than 10K simultaneous users and will not provide a production-ready or reliable service for end users. For the purpose of this stage this server could be considered "pre-production/staging server".
+
+The Molly app will continue to be updated in its current form in the interim. In order to integrate the new Monero payment feature while preserving the Signal based functions a welcome screen will be implemented with the following two choices:
+
+1. Sign up to the Signal Network: MobileCoin disabled, all other features functional.
+2. Sign up to the Molly Network: Native Monero payments and no phone number required to register.
+
+The Signal network will not support native Monero payments. There will, however, be a button to share the Monero address manually and request the recipient to initiate a payment.
+
+We estimate to complete this stage in approximately 20 weeks time by executing the following three steps: (i) Signal server deployment ~2.5 weeks. (ii) Monero payment functionality development ~14 weeks, (iii) E2E testing ~3.5 weeks.
+
+### Goals
+
+- Provide an experimental but fully functional messaging app with XMR payments to the Monero community
+- Identify pain points with Monero SDK early in the development cycle
+- Evaluate the security of the integration and ensure it meets Molly's security requirements for data-at-rest
+- Learn about Signal server and further our understanding of the codebase
+- Continue to grow the Molly userbase 
+- Prepare the framework for stage 2
+
+### Funding
+
+We are at this time requesting funding of 177 XMR (equivalent of $38,150) as per 14-day EMA (1 XMR = \$248.05) on Kraken for 2021/09/26 with a 15% volatility buffer. This is based on the previous outline which we anticipate will take a total of 650 hours of development to bring to fruition across our 20 weeks timeline. Below is a high level overview of where the exact funding will go:
+
+- Development cost: \$55 x 650 hours (total of \$35,750)
+- Hosting expenses (AWS) until Q2 2022: \$2,400
+
+### Next Steps
+
+With the action taken in stage 1 we are effectively deploying the framework on which the Molly app can forge itself.
+
+Once stage 1 is complete, we will be in a position to further our research on mixnets and other possible backend solutions. Through this process we maintain the deployed Signal server for additional use cases that may arise during the development period.
+
+A security audit would be the logical follow up to the implementation of Monero payments. This audit would encompass distinct Molly functions over Signal as well. Once audit findings are resolved, we will be able to ensure that we are meeting the security standards expected by privacy-focused communities. We expect our development will onboard new collaborators of all kinds to the project. Peer-reviewers will likely increase in number as a result of the audit as well.
+
+Additionally, we would design and deploy a website with robust Molly documentation, news, and more.
+
+### About Me
+
+Currently I am the lead developer of Molly. 
+
+I am a security engineer specializing in offensive security and cryptography, and a former forensic analyst. I began learning Android app development 2 years ago for Molly specifically. Recently my career became completely focused on mobile security.

+### 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).
+
+### Summary
+
+We propose supporting the development of the new Monero SDK for Android that the [Molly.im](https://molly.im) team is actively working on.
+
+The goal of this SDK is to provide a solution for developers to integrate Monero into their apps by offering an Android wallet library and a sample app. The library will include advanced features such as support for multiple wallets, sandboxed C++ code, client-side load balancing and asynchronous API. It will be compatible with Android Studio and fully optimized for size and performance. The demo app will feature the capabilities of the library, using the best practices and tools.
+
+The development of this SDK aims to resolve issues found in existing libraries during the integration of Monero into Molly. If you would like to know the rationale behind this SDK, and learn about the Molly project and background, we recommend checking out our CCS titled "Decentralizing Molly.im to support Monero payments" and the latest follow-up at the following links: [CCS proposal](https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/vd-molly-payments-stage1.html) and [update post](https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/252#note_20900).
+
+### SDK Overview
+
+The Monero SDK consists of two components:
+
+1. **Android Library**: A specialized library that allows developers to interact with the Monero network and perform wallet operations. This library is written in Kotlin and offers a reliable asynchronous API.
+
+2. **Sample Wallet App**: An example app written in Kotlin that showcases the usage of the library for wallet app development. It serves as an integration guide for developers and facilitates the testing of new functionalities.
+
+### Android Library
+
+The Android library is the core component of the SDK. Internally it wraps and extends the wallet2 low-level API.
+
+Key features and design decisions of the Android library include:
+
+- **Kotlin Language**: The library is implemented in Kotlin, which is the preferred language for Android development. Kotlin's interoperability with Java ensures compatibility with existing apps.
+
+- **Asynchronous API**: It leverages Kotlin's Coroutines support for asynchronous programming, providing a reliable and non-blocking API that seamlessly integrates with Android's event-driven development model.
+
+- **Sandboxed Execution**: All non-memory-safe code (C++) runs within an isolated process with zero privileges and restricted access to the host app or system resources. Even if a remote execution exploit affects Monero, it becomes extremely difficult for an attacker to elevate privileges to the system or host app.
+
+- **Modular Architecture**: The library is built as an Android service, using Android's AIDL interprocess communication (IPC) to connect the Kotlin layer with the sandboxed native code. This client-server architecture decouples the internal wallet2 implementation from the public API of the SDK, facilitating future swapping of the wallet2 module without major changes to the API. This enables smoother migration to Seraphis for developers using our SDK.
+
+- **Storage Abstraction**: The library provides a storage abstraction layer, simplifying wallet persistence for developers. It allows the SDK to be agnostic about the underlying storage mechanism (files, database, cloud, etc.). This flexibility enables developers to improve data-at-rest encryption without modifying the SDK code.
+
+- **Network Client Injection**: Instead of relying on the networking code of wallet2, the SDK allows the app to provide its own HTTP client. This gives the app the freedom to support any transport protocol, such as Tor, transparently to the SDK.
+
+- **Custom Logging**: The library includes a logging adapter that developers can customize. It enables the host app to determine log storage and location, providing a way to encrypt or remove sensitive information from the logs if needed.
+
+- **Client-side Load Balancing**: The library enables the host app to dynamically select the optimal remote node for RPC calls, ensuring efficient synchronization with the Monero blockchain. This can significantly reduce synchronization time by choosing the fastest node.
+
+- **Android Studio Compatibility**: The SDK is fully compatible with Android Studio, supporting native debugging, code navigation, and linter capabilities, for both the SDK library and the Monero codebase.
+
+- **Optimized Build System**: The  library has optimized CMake files that vendor all dependencies of wallet2, and applies Link-time optimizations (LTO) to remove all C++ code that is never called by the SDK. The result is a reproducible and lightweight library size of only 6 MB per arch, that can be built directly from Gradle.
+
+### Sample Wallet App
+
+The sample app is a fully functional multi-wallet app that serves as a reference for developers on integrating Monero into their apps. It is also a way to test if the library works well in a real-world application. Key features of the sample wallet app include:
+
+- **Clean Architecture**: The sample app uses the latest Android libraries and follows the [official architecture guidance](https://developer.android.com/topic/architecture#recommended-app-arch).
+
+- **Kotlin and Jetpack Compose**: The sample app is entirely written in Kotlin and uses Jetpack Compose for the UI, as well as many architecture components like Room, Lifecycle, and Navigation.
+
+### Use Cases
+
+The SDK is primarily designed to support two use cases: (i) local synchronized mobile wallets and (ii) Monero payments, with a focus on security, simplicity and performance. Although we are centered on these specific use cases, it would be beneficial to consider other potential applications where the SDK could be used in the future.
+
+In the first stable release, it is planned to provide the following functionality:
+
+1. Wallet Management
+   1. Create and restore wallet from mnemonic seed (25-words standard) or secret key
+   2. Export wallet seed and secret key
+   3. Save and load wallet from the storage defined by the app
+2. Account Generation and Subaddresses
+   1. Derive account subaddresses and track their usage
+   2. Parse base58 public addresses
+3. Balance Inquiry
+   1. Query locked/unlocked balance at a specific time
+   2. Retrieve transaction history
+   3. Listen to balance and transaction (ledger) updates
+4. Transaction Handling
+   1. Construct, sign, and broadcast single and multi-recipient TXs 
+   2. Handle network fee automatically
+   3. Create and verify payment proofs
+5. Blockchain Synchronization
+   1. Resume scanning or restart it from a specific height
+   2. Load balance RPC calls and failover to multiple remote nodes
+   3. Monitor remote node status and response time
+
+The following features would be left out of the first release: fine-grained coin control, hardware wallets, manual transaction input, message signing, and multisig. There is no roadmap or timeline yet for when these additional features will be included in future releases.
+
+### Code Example
+
+This snippet of code is a basic example to show how to use the API: [wallet-sdk-android-example.kt](https://gist.github.com/valldrac/54ff6842e4cc6d624ab893f4e839b2ae)
+
+### Limitations and Known Issues
+
+The biggest issue we have come across is how wallet2 trusts the remote nodes for blockchain synchronization. While it is widely known that malicious nodes can manipulate the returned blocks to deceive clients, the current lack of validation in wallet2 makes it too easy to exploit. Unfortunately, wallet2 fails to verify if the returned blocks line up with the previous blocks in the chain. This vulnerability has already been described in a security advisory ([link](https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/134jbdt/security_advisory_new_attack_from_malicious/)).
+
+To mitigate this problem, we suggest adding basic integrity checks into wallet2, but without validating PoW. These checks will help wallet2 to early detect the attack when connecting to an honest node.
+
+Our plan is to address this issue for the initial release of the SDK, as well as upstream the fixes to wallet2.
+
+### Comparative Analysis
+
+The main difference, in addition to the aspects mentioned in the design section, is that the existing libraries are essentially "library wrappers". They consist of a thin layer of code that translates the wallet2 API into a compatible interface for Java while maintaining the same (and intricate) semantics. However, in our SDK we have tried to develop a simplified yet flexible API explicitly designed for Android that prevents common pitfalls associated with wallet2.
+
+It is important to note that we have not conducted a comprehensive comparative analysis yet between our SDK and existing Java libraries like Monerujo's [xmrwallet](https://github.com/m2049r/xmrwallet) or woodser's [monero-java](https://github.com/monero-ecosystem/monero-java).
+
+### Progress Report
+
+The development progress of the library API at a high-level is as follows:
+
+- Wallet Management: 90% complete.
+- Account Generation and Subaddresses: 20% complete.
+- Balance Inquiry: 70% complete.
+- Transaction Handling: 0% complete.
+- Blockchain Synchronization: 80% complete.
+
+We have made significant progress in the demo wallet app as well, implementing key features such as multiple wallet creation, customizable settings, balance checking, and individual remote node configuration for each wallet. The demo includes a basic syncing service that automatically refreshes and saves the wallets. It also supports syncing over SOCKS proxies.
+
+Based on the progress made so far, we have spent a total of 625 hours on development. Out of these, 550 hours until the end of April, and 75 hours from May until now.
+
+The SDK, that includes the library and the demo, is available on GitHub: https://github.com/mollyim/monero-wallet-sdk
+
+### Proposal & Milestones
+
+By funding this project we aim to accelerate the adoption of Monero in the Android ecosystem, providing a reliable and flexible solution for developers to integrate Monero into their apps. This funding will also drive the integration of Monero into Molly.im.
+
+The proposed milestones for this project are as follows:
+
+1. Development
+
+   - Complete the development of the library for the planned use cases.
+   - Complete the implementation of the remaining features for the demo wallet app.
+
+2. Security Enhancements
+
+   - Implement and validate basic integrity checks in wallet2 to mitigate the risk of malicious nodes.
+   - Upstream the improvements to the core library.
+
+3. Continuous Integration & Testing:
+
+   - Set up CI pipeline to automate builds, testing, and release processes.
+   - Maintain a minimum unit test coverage of 70% for the library (excluding 3rd party and generated code).
+
+4. Release Management
+
+   - Iterate on the SDK based on community feedback, fixing issues, and reviewing pull-requests on GitHub.
+   - Coordinate new releases, including versioning and release notes.
+
+5. Documentation
+
+   - Create a clear README that provides an overview of the project and build instructions.
+   - Generate the API reference documentation.
+   - Include code snippets and recipes to demonstrate how to solve common problems with the SDK.
+   - Create a component diagram that illustrates the architecture and key components.
+   - Comment the code of the wallet app to serve as an integration guide, explaining the implementation details.
+   - Regularly update the documentation.
+
+6. Community Engagement
+
+   - Engage actively with the community on Matrix to understand their needs and include their suggestions into future updates.
+
+7. Seraphis Migration Planning
+
+   - Join the Seraphis Working Group to provide feedback, share design ideas, and review migrations plans for a smooth transition to Seraphis.
+
+### Funding
+
+We are requesting a total of $36,000 in funding to support this project, allocated in these milestones:
+
+1. Development: $22,000
+2. Security Enhancements: $3,000
+3. Continuous Integration & Testing: $6,200
+
+For the remaining milestones (4 to 7) we propose to allocate $4,800 for 6 months of maintenance, with payouts of $2,400 every 3 months.
+
+Based on current rate of 1 XMR = $140 (as of June 10th 2023) with a 15% volatility buffer, the equivalent amount of $36,000 would be approximately 295 XMR.
+
+### Expiration
+
+If no milestones have been claimed within 9 months from the start of the project (since moved to work-in-progress) or latest payout, the CCS for the project shall be considered expired. In case of expiration, the remaining unclaimed funds will be donated to other CCS proposals.

+3-Months full-time software development on monero "core" components in 2021 q1 (through early q2).
+
+## What
+Work primarily on the `monerod`, `wallet2`, and `monero-lws` (pending feedback in comments). Some of the work to be attempted or investigated:
+
+  - 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 (already work in progress)
+  - Progress on [my proposal to add encryption to p2p protocol](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/issues/7078) has been slow, but it looks like the consensus is FOR encryption, just no clear consensus on TLS 1.3 vs Noise protocol. Continued work would be design+implementation for the selected encryption technique.
+  - Potential performance improvements:
+    - Improve "cryptonote" read-serialization performance - helps with p2p block responses, RPC responses, among other things. Profiling suggests this could have big improvement on efficiency.
+    - Determine a technique for safely returning `std::weak_ptr`/`std::shared_ptr` of p2p connections - this can help with efficiency in a few areas:
+      - Remove lock acquire to send dandelion++ fluffs and I2P/Tor white noise
+      - Remove lock acquire and atomic increment per connection when relaying bocks (a list is already obtained)
+      - Others? Any `foreach_connection` call that can be safely done concurrently can use this technique
+    - Various epee/p2p serialization (output) routines (carryover from q4, this is difficult to update)
+  - Potential compilation improvements (carryover from q4 since mj-xmr has focused on this more):
+    - Moving serialization code to cpp (although this could be spurious in updates which is frowned upon)
+    - Dropping the templated nature of the epee TCP server would yield best improvement, but might be cause too much "pain" in the review
+  - `monero-lws` work (assuming no complaints in comments):
+    - Provide pre-built binaries
+    - Add support for immediate mempool scanning (via ZMQ-PUB)
+    - (Unlikely this quarter) - 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 [two](https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/vtnerd-tor-tx-broadcasting.html) [CCS](https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/vtnerd-2020-q4.html) proposals. The [full list of my PRs for last quarter CCS](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Avtnerd+created%3A%3E2020-10-27). There's also some investigation/writeup for encrypted p2p, and investigations to improve efficiency (logging in particular) that aren't in that list since any code is still a crude mashup for quick testing. A working, but still in progress [DANE/TLSA wallet implementation](https://github.com/vtnerd/monero/tree/improve/dane_tlsa) also exists.
+
+Bigger higlights: [improved serialization performance to epee binary](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/7009), [removed copy of all outgoing p2p messages and duplicate copies of p2p block notify messages (not merged)](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/7136), [changed p2p connection list to `std::weak_ptr` for small efficiency improvement and code clarity (not merged)](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/7345), [improved `byte_stream` alllocation efficiency](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/7003), [added `byte_stream` realloc to reduce memory usage after new reallocation strategy (not merged)](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/7005), and [fixed timeout bug in Dandelion++](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/7021).
+
+## 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 ~197.85 USD/XMR which is the 14-day exponential moving average on Kraken through 2021/02/16.

+
+## Who
+
+Lee Clagett (vtnerd). I've had [four](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) ([last one](https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/vtnerd-2023-q3.html)), and [one Magic Grant](https://monerofund.org/projects/Q1Q2_2024_dev_vtnerd).
+
+Some of my biggest features in monero core repo are [Dandelion++](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/6314), [adding supercop ASM speedups to wallet code](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/6337), [ZeroMQ Pub Support for new blocks and transactions](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/6418), and [SSL support to p2p](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/8996).
+
+I've also made a functional LWS wallet scanner under CCS/Magic - which now has a MyMonero compatible REST API, admin REST API, LMDB storage, subaddress support, webhook/zmq/rmq publishing (new receives, spends, and accounts), multi-machine scanning with (primitive) load-balancing, and an untrusted daemon mode that verifies PoW is valid (whereas normal wallets trust `monerod` responses entirely).
+
+## 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 65 USD/hour with ~157.41 USD/XMR which is the 9-day exponential moving average on Kraken through 2024/07/11. The rate is up a bit: (1) inflation, (2) volatility protection, and (3) closer in hourly compensation to 2 other contributors.

+Some of my biggest features in monero core repo are [Dandelion++](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/6314), [adding supercop ASM speedups to wallet code](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/6337), [ZeroMQ Pub Support for new blocks and transactions](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/6418), and [SSL support to p2p](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/8996).
+
+I've also made a functional LWS wallet scanner under CCS/Magic - which now has a MyMonero compatible REST API (now fully non-blocking to support more responses per thread), admin REST API, LMDB storage, subaddress support, webhook/zmq/rmq publishing (new receives, spends, and accounts), multi-machine scanning with (primitive) load-balancing, and an untrusted daemon mode that verifies PoW is valid (whereas normal wallets trust `monerod` responses entirely).
+
+## 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 65 USD/hour with ~232.20 USD/XMR which is the 14-day exponential moving average on Kraken through 2025/02/21.

+
+- Wobole completed this proposal Jan 22, 2022 as confirmed independantly by 2, native german, community members.
+- A partial address was posted in [this payout request](https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/237#note_21125). 
+- The full address was never shared with Luigi or the acting CCS Coordinator at that time.
+- Wobole has 1 year from now, to attempt to claim these funds by pasting a _new_ payout address from the same Gitlab account. 
+- After 2025-09-05 the entire balance (9.9 XMR) will be returned to the General Fund.

+
+Hello everybody, this is Wobole again :)
+
+## What and Why
+I’m proposing to translate the subtitles of “Monero Means Money” and “Sound Money, Safe Mode” via Weblate. 
+As I wrote in my last [proposal](https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/Translation-getmonero-german.html), I feel a thorough localization of the (often pretty complex) world around Monero to be extremely useful, both for intermediates as well as potential future users who are just diving into the matter but are also keen to understand the technical and economic advantages and complexities Monero comprises. And frankly, it would simply be a pity having such high-quality educational and factful contents around which are accessible, but not understandable for many people. I’d really enjoy to change that.
+
+## Who
+I have translated a lot of strings and am one of the most active translators and suggestors on the [Monero Weblate platform](https://translate.getmonero.org/stats/). Feel free to take a look at [my Weblate profile](https://translate.getmonero.org/user/Wobole/) for an impression of my activities. After having translated a significant amount of the GUI wallet, some parts of the CLI wallet and most of the website (all as a volunteer) I was happy to be funded by the community for translating the User Guides and the Moneropedia entries on getmonero.org (and to be able to push for some consistency within the German localization :)). See the related [proposal](https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/Translation-getmonero-german.html) in the CCS. 
+
+## Proposal and milestones
+This proposal includes the following two milestones: 
+1. Translation of the subtitles of “Monero Means Money”
+2. Continued translation of the subtitles of “Sound Money, Safe Mode”
+
+The “Monero Means Money” subtitles comprise 11,689 words, the subtitles of “Sound Money, Safe Mode” 12,405 words. 62 strings of the latter have been translated already; averaging a string with roughly 6,25 words multiplied by 62 makes almost 390 already translated words. For the 1st milestone this equals 4.9 XMR and for the 2nd 5 XMR, totalling up to 9.9 XMR.
+As with the last paid translations and of course the voluntary ones I’m looking forward to delivering high-quality translations to help making Monero more and more used and adopted internationally. If this proposal gets funded, I am going to start working on the translations immediately, and I believe to finish both milestones within a maximum of two months. 
+
+Thanks a lot for reading!
