Welcome back. Hopefully I still have your ear.
I'd like to take a moment to express gratitude towards all of my anonymous supporters. I see you, and I thank you for everything you've helped me with thus far. I wouldn't be here without you. If this proposal is merged, I will likely be good through til 2026.
This may not seem as abnormal as I'd have liked. The title is what it is, but the proposal is intended to cover contributions to Monero proper. It was requested that I open a new MR instead of editing the [old one](https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/444).
- 14xmr/mth includes 20-25hrs/wk on customer support, docs, site, ccs, assisting devs, and attempting to take over the world:
- 3xmr/mth work with core devs, community devs, researchers, and other contributors to test or advise on features, issues, community projects etc.
- 3xmr/mth #monero-support: Lead the support channel & provide hands on support to users
- 3xmr/mth #monero-docs: Maintain¹ (or help to maintain) monero-docs repo and/or assist plowsof, 321bob321 and others with content
- 2xmr/mth #monero-site: Maintain¹ (or help to maintain) monero-site repo and/or assist plowsof, hardenedsteel and others with content
- 2xmr/mth #monero-community: Assisting CCS proposers (and plowsof) with relations/logistics
- 1xmr/mth take over the world: dedicate time to dealing with "meta" stuff. There is quite a bit of unfinished business (on and off repo) that needs to be tackled
- donate to others
The above amounts are estimates. Actual distribution may vary.
¹ Maintain = handle merges
Terms:
- 12 Months @ 168xmr total
- Estimated 20-25 hr/wk
Rate:
- 1 XMR = 1 XMR
Payout structure:
- 12 monthly milestones

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.
##### M0/M1/M2 = accelerate work / probation.
- M0 paid at funding. To be paid to ofrnxmr to distribute as follows:
- M0 = 80xmr to ofrnxmr to pay for bounties / extra help, and/or bonuses to backend/frontend devs
- M0/M1/M2 = 20xmr/month (60xmr/3months) to ofrnxmr
- M0/M1/M2 = 40xmr/160hrs (120xmr/3mths) to BasicSwap Team - Frontend
- M0/M1/M2 = 55xmr/160hrs (165xmr/3mths) to BasicSwap Team - Backend
##### M3-O - Paid end of month 4
- 100xmr
##### M3-F - Frontend GUI v3.0.0 - v5.0.0+
- Paid start of month 4
- 240xmr earmarked for frontend development (paid out by ofrnxmr as work is completed, 40xmr/160hr)
- 80xmr to ofrnxmr to pay for bounties / extra help, and/or bonuses to frontend devs
##### M3-B - Backend v0.13 - v0.15+
- Paid start of month 4
- 330xmr earmarked for backend development (paid out by ofrnxmr as work is completed: 55xmr/160hr)
- 80xmr to ofrnxmr to pay for bounties / extra help, and/or bonuses to backend devs
##### M4 - Delivery of 1.0
- Paid after M3 is completed to satisfaction, and 1.0 is shipped
- 80xmr for frontend dev(s)
- 110xmr for backend dev(s)
##### M5 = Maintenance
- Payout in Month 13 at the earliest, to be redistributed on a monthly basis
- 8xmr to backend devs
- 8xmr to frontend devs
- 4xmr to ofrnxmr
#### Scope (wherever technically possibly)
- **_M0/M1/M2 = Catchup work. Begin preparing for M3 milestones._**
- [Some things yet to be completed](https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/457#note_24394)
- **_M3-F - Frontend GUI v3.0.0 - v5.0.0+_**
- CEX-like UI and UX (aside from speed)
- Orderbook
- Market depth
- Order types ie. Market, limit, stop, trailing, profit taker
- Private orderbook UI
- Overall UI and UX updates
- Mobile friendly
- Better notifications
- Improve / simplify in progress and historical bid details
- Historical swap exports
- Drop _reliance_ on centralized price APIs
- Add wallet (rpc) functionality to the wallets themselves
- Ability to use external wallets to take offers
- Include new GUI interfaces to match new backend functionalities
- **_M3-B - Backend v0.13 - v0.15+_**
- Secure the backend
- Better code reviews
- Fix and enhance user APIs
- Add provider / swapper APIs
- Web frontend APIs
- Enable swaps between incompatible coins. [Example: XMR <> FIRO]
- Integrations of atomic protocals such as those from BCH and ETH
- Disconnect SMSG from Particl blockchain
- Create and use a local price oracle
- Bridge orderbooks from other services such as Samourai
- EVM wallet compatibility
- Necessary changes to enable frontend features
- **_M4 - Delivery of 1.0_**
- M3-X Completed to satisfaction
- Ship 1.0 installation packages as (example), a Flatpak, appimage
- **_M5 - 1yr Maintenance_**
- Addressing concerns in an efficient manner
- Continued improvement of the codebase
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 proposal](https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/plowsof-com-rel.html) happened, 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).
- It has recently came to my attention that there is a seldom enforced CCS rule where "If it's not funded or finished by a certain time, the funds can be released to other proposals or the General Fund.. This keeps things moving along in a timely fashion.", one of my tasks will be to gather support for enforcing this rule where applicable.
- 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.
# Funding
20hr/week - 40 eur/hr with XMR at 145EUR (MA20 @ Kraken) gives 72 but i like 69 better so 23 XMR/milestone bringing the total requested amount to 69XMR. Maximum of 1 milestone can be claimed per month. Price fluctuation after moving to funding will have no effect.
Consider this proposal expired in the event of my untimely death / unheard of for >5 months / have not claimed all payouts in 12 months. If expired - all remaining unclaimed funds are to be donated to other CCS proposals.

# Funding
20hr/week - 40 eur/hr with XMR at 126EUR (MA20 @ Kraken) gives 20 * 13 * (40/126) = 80.5 but i like 80.07 better so 26.69 XMR/milestone bringing the total requested amount to 80.07XMR. Maximum of 1 milestone can be claimed per month. Price fluctuation after moving to funding will have no effect.
Consider this proposal expired in the event of my untimely death / unheard of for >5 months / have not claimed all payouts in 12 months. If expired - all remaining unclaimed funds are to be donated to other CCS proposals.

# 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).
- It has recently came to my attention that there is a seldom enforced CCS rule where "If it's not funded or finished by a certain time, the funds can be released to other proposals or the General Fund.. This keeps things moving along in a timely fashion.", one of my tasks will be to gather support for enforcing this rule where applicable.

# Who?
I voluntarily took on this role for a few weeks (several months ago) and detailed my progress [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/uj0lyu/what_i_did_last_week_plowsof/). Soon after, I 'retired'. Since then, i've been doing this role at half capacity. A member of Core has seen value in my contributions and asked me to make this CCS and also provide some other work around the ecosystem which i would be unable to do consistently without being sponsored by the community.
My other contributions include:
- Monero GUI Packager - from v0.18.1.0 every GUI installer for windows is packaged by one of my scripts. I've also automated the creation of the .zip and .tar.bz2 files for selsta, so instead of 'copy and pasting files' they can focus on important tasks for release. A public version to create the installer is [here](https://github.com/plowsof/monero-gui-exe)
- Merged PR's in (a really minor bug fix)[Monero GUI](https://github.com/monero-project/monero-gui/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Amerged+author%3Aplowsof) and [Monero Site]( https://github.com/monero-project/monero-site/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Amerged+author%3Aplowsof+)
- Self-hosted wishlists, examples at [monerujo](https://funding.monerujo.app/) [monerochan.art](https://www.monerochan.art/) and [XMR.radio](https://xmr.radio/)
later on i created a multi-coin version. examples at [Rucknium.me](https://rucknium.me/donate/) and [ofrnxmr](https://getwishlisted.xyz/ofrnxmr/)
- General Fund twitter bot, that tweets every donation received https://nitter.it/watchfund
- Daily updated list of public ZMQ servers [here](https://github.com/plowsof/listen_for_zmq/blob/main/zmq_list.md) for [xmrvsbeast](https://xmrvsbeast.com/p2pool/monero_nodes.html)
- [monerodevs.org](http://www.monerodevs.org/) - 'handmade feel' to put it nicely, also needs updating.
- Set up [MoneroResearch.info](https://moneroresearch.info/) with Rucknium
- I provide tech support / post PSA's when needed on Reddit at https://www.reddit.com/user/KnowledgeMurky9635
# Milestones
Some concrete areas to be judged on will be my ability to obtain decisions (yes / no / change this) from the community in 1 month or less by organising at least 2 meetings per month and gathering feedback.
Monthly reports will detail what i've been doing in terms of checking up on the WIP list / working with people at the ideas stage / helping where i am able to.
As for the liaising with Core part, if at any point they are not satisfied, then this proposal can be terminated with immediate effect (no payout for 'work done' either)
# Funding
20hr/week - 40 eur/hr with XMR at 147EUR (MA20 @ Kraken) gives 23 XMR/milestone bringing the total requested amount to 69XMR. Maximum of 1 milestone can be claimed per month. Price fluctuation after moving to funding will have no effect.
Consider this proposal expired in the event of my untimely death / unheard of for >5 months / have not claimed all payouts in 12 months. If expired - all remaining unclaimed funds are to be donated to other CCS proposals.

### 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).
# Who
ANONERO project, creators of the security & privacy focused Monero wallets ANON & NERO.
# What
Migrating our codebase to Android's native language Kotlin with Jetpack Compose UI.
When we first started the project, we bootstrapped development by using a combination of xmrwallet's Java code and Flutter. This allowed for fast interations and great UI performance, but as the app grew with more advanced features, the Native <> Java <> Flutter layers proved to be a bottleneck.
Now that we have a working Proof of Concept alpha wallet, and are much more familiar with the Monero codebase, we've decided to move the app to a new framework that's better suited to our feature set. This will give us a solid, stable codebase and make future developement much easier.
As part of our commitment to privacy & security and using the latest features, ANONERO has contributed to Monero, directly and indirectly, in various ways:
1) First fully airgapped DIY HWW cold storage solution: https://monero.town/post/223593
2) First working implementation of background sync via view-keys
3) Helped identify, debug, and fix issue where Polyseed was failing to build on 32-bit Android: https://github.com/tevador/polyseed/issues/5
4) Helped identify, debug, and test fix for the DNS leak when using onion nodes: https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/8849
5) Helped discover bug where key images weren't being passed by signed tx payload: https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/9049
6) Discovered background sync bug which caused all cached blocks to be erased: https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/8619#issuecomment-1808920063
7) Helped test tobtoht's upcoming [Polyseed](https://github.com/tevador/polyseed) patch to monero core
8) Worked with tobtoht to improve offline-signing UX
We'll continue to adopt and test new features and upstream fixes to core if/when they arise during the CCS.
# Proposal
Instead of guesstimating work hours and giving an hourly rate, we are asking for an amount that will guarantee funding for the entire wallet rewrite.
Monerujo's Sidekick project raised 181.15 XMR, and seeing as we addressed the community's concerns by shipping the feature fully airgapped using animated QR codes, we are asking the community to match that amount, plus 10% for misc things like hosting, documentation, website improvement etc for a total of 199.265 XMR.
For the past year and a half we relied on our small community to help fund us, and now that we've proven we can deliver, we are requesting 20% upfront to start development:
- Milestone 1: 39.853 XMR (20%) paid upfront upon funding
- Milestone 2: 79.706 XMR (40%) paid upon release of first test build (corresponding to v0.5)
- Milestone 3: 79.706 XMR (40%) paid upon final feature-complete release
Progress will be posted on our repo http://git.anonero.io (onion redirect) and we will begin open testing as soon as we can.
~~CCS will expire one year from date of first payout and funds can be send to the General Fund.~~

## What
Hi, everyone! I am rating89us and this is my first CCS proposal. I have been doing voluntary (unpaid) contributions to Monero GUI on my free time since 2020, adding new UI elements, improving UX and fixing bugs. While Monero GUI has improved a lot during the last years, there is still a lot of work to be done. I'm really motivated in making Monero GUI easy to use by anyone.
Some things I want to work on:
- General: add tooltips where still necessary, improve displaying of wallet > accounts hierarchy, discreet mode (hide amounts/balances on all pages); implement tip of the day popup; implement user onboarding popups when the wallet is opened for the first time
- LeftPanel: redesign synchronization progress bars, Socks5 proxy/TOR icon
- Send: display "All" amount as a label with close button
- Address book: user avatars, sorting
- Transactions: amount filtering, sent/received filtering, historical fiat price
- Settings: create a dedicated page to synchronization process, redesign Node page, add "change restore height" menu item
- Merchant: redesign merchant page, UI/UX for tablets/smartphones
- Wizard: redesign hardware wallet page, create a dedicated page to seed and restore height
- Accessibility: add description/navigation for UI elements (support screen readers for visually impaired users)
- White theme: improve color contrast of UI elements
- Upgrade FontAwesome icons to last version
- Android: test and improve UI/UX for tablets/smartphones
- Test and review UI/UX pull requests
- Update text and screenshots of Monero GUI guides (pdf guide and getmonero.org user guides)
## Who
rating89us, I have been contributing voluntarily to Monero GUI since 2020 with over 77 merged commits.
Here is a list of my previous merged commits on Monero GUI:
- Pull requests: https://github.com/monero-project/monero-gui/pulls?page=1&q=is%3Apr+author%3Arating89us+is%3Aclosed
- Commits: https://github.com/monero-project/monero-gui/commits?author=rating89us
If funded I will provide monthly updates in the CCS comment section.
## Proposal
Work for 20 hours per week over the next 3 months (from Mid July to Mid October) at a rate of 38€/hour. At 188.75€/XMR on Kraken (14-day EMA) this makes 48.31 XMR.

# Who, what, when, where?
Hi, I'm Diego "rehrar" Salazar. I run [Cypher Stack](https://cypherstack.com), and me and my team make [Stack Wallet](https://stackwallet.com). I also did work for the core team once upon a time.
I was recently approached my luigi, of the current core team about retaking on some of my old duties. There's a lot of opportunity for improvement in the non-dev areas of the project, and not always enough hands to get it done. It was agreed upon that, were this to happen, this would be done through the CCS rather than through Core as before. This moves me from being accountable to core, to accountable to the community.
A quick summary of what I'd be working on (requested by luigi):
- Presiding over and helping along a Monero Website Workgroup to merge requests, keep it up to date, and do odds and ends of design and development
- Facilitating moderator relationships and fostering community in relevant social platforms
- Being a leader in the Monero Community workgroup and helping that along as needed
- Keeping a finger on the "pulse of the community" in the various chat rooms and platforms (Telegram, Discord, IRC, Matrix, Reddit, etc.)
- Assisting plowsof as needed in CCS work (working under him for various tasks if needed)
- Aiding and assisting in event work as needed
- Utilizing my "soft skills" as needed elsewhere on the project.
# Why?
There's lots of non-dev stuff to do, and not so many people to do it. I am capable and willing.
# How long? How much?
75 XMR for three months for half time work. Possibility of renewal depending on community sentiment.
# Deliverables
I will do all of the above in the beginning section, and give a monthly report to the community on what's been done, and tasks accomplished. The primary metric I will rate myself on though, is how big of a help I am to luigi in terms of taking workload off of his shoulders.
# COI
My company Cypher Stack does occassional work for Monero in the form of the following:
- Dan "pigeons" Miller who helps with infrastructure work is employed by Cypher Stack. We typically do anywhere from 5-10 hours a month for Monero here. We are currently doing this work pro bono.
- Cypher Stack's cryptographer, Aaron Feickert, does occassional research work for Monero. This is funded either by the CCS, or the new Research Fund that has been funded by the CCS.
- I own and operate Stack Wallet, an open-source, multicoin wallet, of which Monero is supported.
- I and all of my employees do occassional work for other clients, many of them in the privacy or crypto sphere. Several of them privacy coins themselves.

# What
I will maintain Revuo Monero (https://www.revuo-xmr.com/) for the next 3 months (2024 Q3): July, August and September. 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 1.
Tasks:
- Daily/weekly: search, curate, structure and post new reports/stories.
- As Needed: outreach (engage with the community on Matrix, XMPP, emails).
- As Needed: make sure the website is live and working as expected (server maintenance, billing, etc.)
# 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
# Proposal
I will publish weekly issues (4 per month) at a rate of $100 / issue. At $157.5 / XMR this makes 8 XMR (~7.6++) (100 * 4 * 3 = $1200) to be split in 3 monthly milestones. Rounding current 7.6++ XMR to 8 XMR to cover for price votatility between Work In Progress phase and progressive milestone(s) payouts.

**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.

# What
I will maintain Revuo Monero (https://www.revuo-xmr.com/) for the next 3 months (2025 Q1): January, February and March. 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: 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 more than two hundred (200) weekly issues of the Revuo Monero newsletter, the first five (5) first published and hosted at [LocalMonero](https://localmonero.co/revuo) and the rest, 200++, were published in current Revuo's self-hosted website. About 24-25 of them had their maintenance and editorial work funded through the CCS, for 2024 Q3 and Q4; now looking to get funding secured for 2025 Q1 with this proposal. Beyond that, I have completed and deployed 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 profile set up and posting new issues every week automatically, which often get reposted via @monero main account. Twitter: https://nitter.poast.org/revuoxmr
- Addition of RM's group chats and social media profile links at the bottom of hamburger menu. Nostr, X, XMPP, Matrix, SimpleX and IRC.
**New**: Revuo Calc. See: https://calc.revuo-xmr.com/ // Source code: https://github.com/rottenwheel/moner.ooo/
[WIP] Moneroj.net maintenance and enhancements. Almost ready for relaunch/announcement, under Revuo's umbrella, as Revuo Moneroj.
# Proposal
I will publish weekly issues (4 per month, average) at a rate of $120 / issue. Using MA10 - Moving Average 10 (10 days) of ~$191 / XMR at the time of writing this proposal, this makes for **8 XMR** (~7.5392++...) [(120 * 4) * 3 = $1440) to be split in three (3) monthly milestones. Rounding ~7.5392++... XMR to 8 XMR even to cover for price votatility between Work In Progress phase and progressive milestone(s) payouts.

# What
I will maintain Revuo Monero (https://www.revuo-xmr.com/) for the next 3 months (2025 Q2): April, May and June. 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, which usually translates to reporting 3 issues instead of average 4 for milestones, this is usually to report on the 4 weeks each month usually has; at times, there have been 5 issues covering the month instead of 4 or 3. Goes both ways.
Tasks:
- Daily/weekly: search, curate, structure and publish new issues.
- 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.

To the Monero Community,
As many of you know, MRL's full time researcher, Sarang Noether stepped down from his position this past month. After looking back across the history of the project, we are humbled to realize he has been working on the Monero Project on and off, full time and part time, for over six years, three of which were in a full time position, paid for by the CCS. His initial proposal can still be viewed on the old Forum Funding System here: https://forum.getmonero.org/22/completed-tasks/87856/hire-mathematician-and-computational-physicist-to-join-research-team
Because of the contractual nature of the CCS, the written proposals, and indeed, freelance work in general, many benefits offered by traditional jobs do not exist within the ecosystem. Benefits such as vacation days and paid time off.
While we do not expect to make a habit of this, we feel the length of time worked, the quality of work given, and the person themself are all worthy of breaking out of the traditional CCS mold to raise money for sarang to take some 'paid time off'. We understand that he has already made the decision to step back down, and this proposal is not trying to bring him back into the fold (although we would of course be thrilled if one day he returned), but rather to give what we feel is due for six years of labor.
We ask the community to crowdfund 200 XMR that we can give him, so his initial days after his departure can be restful and he would not have to worry about making money to live.
This proposal will remain open in funding required for one month or until the goal is met. Whichever comes first. After either condition is met, the funds will be given to sarang, including any overfunding.
We hope the community will join us in doing good for someone who has done so much good for us.
The Monero Core Team

### Proposal closed
The remaining funds (36XMR) have been absorbed by https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/VOSTOEMISIO-Continuation-of-Core-Monero-Concepts-A-Series-of-Animated-Explainers.html
Hello guys,
It's savandra, who created animated explainer videos,
here's a link to our channel.
I contacted u/dsmlegend, https://www.reddit.com/u/dsmlegend/ and he developed an awesome draft of probably anything should be covered on the topic (though it's a bit business-focused).
Here's a link to the document https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnjUpT9gGxyQ_lud7uKoTCg
I'd like to add, that since then, we improved on the animations a lot and we hope Monero will benefit from it!
Our proposal is to be billed per minute of the animation, which covers:
script development ( with implementing all the feedback from the community)
illustrations development
animations
voice-over
sound effects
Considering the above, I think $400 per minute of the animation should work out nicely.
Also, it's been a while since the last video, so let me know if there are any updates on how the pitch should be handled.
It is expected to complete one video a month
An expiration date for the proposal: June, 7
