+## Intro
+
+Hi all, I [closed out](https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/290#note_16046) my previous [Seraphis Wallet PoC CCS](https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/290) after consuming all the hours. There are additional tasks I would like to work on. For background on this CCS, please see the links in the previous sentence.
+
+
+## Continuing work
+
+Here are the tasks I hope to finish by the end of this CCS. As before, these will be implemented in my [seraphis_lib](https://github.com/UkoeHB/monero/tree/seraphis_lib) branch.
+
+- Add tx builder plumbing for _discretized_ tx fees (see the [04/20/22 MRL meeting](https://github.com/monero-project/meta/issues/691) for a discussion).
+- Consider using 16-byte address indices (instead of 7), with 2-byte encoded address index MACs (instead of 1).
+- Implement a robust 'input selection' solver that takes advantage of statically-determinable tx weights.
+- Implement a maximally-efficient and generic enote-scanning workflow.
+- Build a wallet proof-of-concept that demonstrates all the 'transaction engineering' capabilities and implementation modularity of Seraphis/Jamtis. My goal is to have unit tests representing all the main workflows possible with Seraphis, and all the main wallet implementations necessary (i.e. mock-ups of interfaces that could potentially be developed into full-fledged wallet software).
+- Test out using x25519 for enote ECDH instead of ed25519, which may speed up enote scanning by a non-trivial amount (>10%).
+- Miscellaneous code cleanup (mostly update/add comments, cleanup TODOs).
+
+As usual, I will also lump all the miscellaneous Monero R&D tasks that I work on into this CCS (e.g. in the last period I did more review/work on multisig security patches, among other things).
+
+
+## Funding
+
+- Rate: 50 USD + 0.2 XMR
+- Hours: 16 weeks @ 20hr/wk = 320hrs
+- XMR equivalent: 64 + (50\*320)/USD\_EXCHANGE\_RATE XMR
+- USD\_EXCHANGE\_RATE: set from 14-day EMA on a major exchange
+  - 175 USD/XMR at 0100 UTC 05/16/2022 w/ 14-day EMA on Kraken -> 155 XMR total
+
+If I require more time, and the community supports it, then I may make another proposal to extend the hours.

+
+Hi all, after the [completion](https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/256#note_15087) of my previous [Seraphis PoC CCS](https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/256), there are additional tasks I would like to work on.

+
+## New tasks
+
+These tasks will be implemented in my [seraphis_lib](https://github.com/UkoeHB/monero/tree/seraphis_lib) branch. My ultimate goal is that, once this CCS is complete, I can hand off seraphis_lib to other Monero developers who can start working on/thinking about how to get Seraphis actually used in Monero.
+
+- Build a wallet proof-of-concept that demonstrates all the 'transaction engineering' capabilities and implementation modularity of Seraphis/Jamtis. My goal is to have unit tests representing all the main workflows possible with Seraphis, and all the main wallet implementations necessary (i.e. mock-ups of interfaces that could potentially be developed into full-fledged wallet software).
+- Test out using x25519 for enote ECDH instead of ed25519, which may speed up enote scanning by a non-trivial amount (>10%).
+- Add validation code and plumbing for `tx_extra` fields.
+- Add tx builder plumbing for tx fees.
+- Add multisig tx builders for Seraphis (with unit tests) after the master branch is updated with PR #7877.
+- Miscellaneous code cleanup (mostly update/add comments, cleanup TODOs).
+
+I will also lump all the miscellaneous Monero R&D tasks that I work on into this CCS (e.g. in the last period I did a bunch of review/work on multisig security patches, among other things).

+
+# What
+The goal is to create open-source software that aids people mining Monero with excess solar power in the most profitable way. It will accommodate for issues such as:
+
+- Time of day
+- Weather fluctuations
+- Avoiding depleting batteries below a threshold, that would damage them
+- Avoiding overheating the mining rig
+- Leaving enough power for your daily use
+
+# Intro
+I promised I'd help out in the [Monero Recruitment Matrix Room](https://matrix.to/#/#monero-recruitment:monero.social).
+Although there was just one direct request to me so far, recently I've also pro-actively proposed cooperation to the chat room members. I presented there 2 projects, that are on my mind, and don't require extensive crypto knowledge, typically not available to students. Yet the projects are still useful for Monero specifically. One of the projects that I have on mind is optimization of mining performance on a solar farm, depending on varying inputs. The member Endor ([endorxmr](https://github.com/endorxmr) on GitHub and endor00 on Matrix) signed up for being the main contributor to the project, while I would serve as a mentor: namely coordinator, reviewer and designer. Such a setup will guarantee, that I won't get dragged away too much from the maintenance of Monero, that I signed up for, while at the same time, Endor will be able to continuously have access to my years of experience in automatic control and object oriented design. Endor on the other hand is heavily involved in everything, that’s connected to mining profitability.
+
+Should Endor not make it until the deadline, I guarantee, that I will finalize the project by myself until the coming winter.
+
+Introducing the project: SolOptXMR – Solar Optimal mining of XMR.
+
+# Why
+The following [YT video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OpM_zKGE4o) is able to bring you more context why this idea has a chance for being a trending subject and is here to stay. The outline of this video is the following:
+Because of high initial, as well as perpetual investments required for producing power from solar collectors in Sahara/Nevada and delivering it to northern states, such an investment, contrived in the previous decade under the name "DESERTEC", turned out to be not the best possible investment. The project's relative profitability decreased across the years even more. The reason is, that the costs of production of solar panels dropped so low, that now it makes more sense to place them exactly where the produced power is most needed, even though the solar irradiation is lesser at these places.
+
+On a sentiment / geopolitical side of things, with the rising prices of heating gas, I expect many people will be wanting to save on their gas costs by switching to electrical heating. Since the majority of such heaters demand high power, ranging from 2kW to 2.5kW and since a given population will typically want to switch them on all at the same time, I predict that we'll be facing a decent wave of blackouts in the coming winter. This has motivated me to build my solar farm. 
+
+If you are an individual who likes to take the matters into your own hands, you might have considered building a small solar farm yourself. Although our system won't assume a given user's setup, my particular farm is configured as an isolated island. This means, that I don't sell my overproduction to the grid for the pennies, that the state offers, but rather use the production for mining and cooking, while the overproduction is temporarily stored in a pair of cheap but reliable car batteries. My farm serves as a perfect test bed for the system, that we're going to design and automate for you. Optimized mining of Monero on such a system amortizes the installation costs over the long run, will help you learn about electricity and motivate you to become more resilient. Further compatible extensions are possible, such as small wind generators as well as bikes with flywheels, that [recover kinetic energy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBW_2gUSMXc). Such systems are already available on the market, that tends to think ahead of the time, so you don’t have to DIY.
+
+# System description
+
+The dynamics of the system, that tries to optimize the mining efficiency has to take into account the following inputs and goals. Some of them are obvious while others maybe not so much.
+
+- Static astronomic data, that describe the relative movement of the Sun across the sky in various latitudes and times of year - yielding the maximal expected power that can be reached
+- Weather predictions - a cloudy sky can reduce the power output by more than 80%
+- If the predicted power generation is off the measured generation, a warning might be issued to clean the panels
+- Voltage (load state) of the batteries, as well as voltage that reaches the DC->AC transformer, as some of it might be lost in the cables, that are either too long or have accidentally formed an inductor
+- Predicted load state of the batteries on the next day before the Sun rises and the charging starts, as emptying the chemical batteries below 50% tends to damage them  
+- Mining rigs' temperature readouts as it's not worth to meltdown your hardware for those couple of Piconeros being mined.
+- A given computer's hashrate per Watt - use the most efficient ones first, but don't overheat them
+- A given computer's idle power cost - sometimes it will make sense to switch on certain less efficient computers only if there's really way too much power production, and/or the most efficient ones overheat, or it's predicted that they'd overheat soon under the, also predicted, future conditions.
+- Per core efficiency compared against multithreaded efficiency - for CPUs with smaller caches, the efficiency (in this case: hashrate) scales poorly with more threads working at the same time. In such cases it will make sense to spread the mining across longer periods of time on a single core.
+- The owners' power usage habits - taking into account, that you might want to use a low powered, compatible electric heating system at a given time of day, by leaving some energy in the batteries for you to consume, before the predicted event – learned either from your usage habits, or from your manually scheduled input.
+- The owners' setup – whether an isolated solar island is used, output connected to grid (for selling) or supplementing power losses from the grid (buying) or both of the last 2 options.
+
+The control mechanisms of the system would be the following:
+- Downclocking the CPUs - very easy to achieve under Linux with a high precision, thus allowing for a smooth control
+- Restarting the mining with a smaller number of cores
+- Putting computers to sleep and waking them up with Wake On LAN on the next day
+
+While it would be easy enough to control the system via PID controller, and I know a lot about it, such a system would have little prediction power, delivered only by the first differential part of the controller (the D) and only between the current and the previous state. Using a Time Series Analysis and Prediction tool, such as the already available `tsqsim`, will give the system the ability to look ahead into the future (like at least 48 hours ahead) and plan accordingly to maximize the gain per the unit of energy used, while at the same time planning carefully against overheat of the hardware, under-voltage of the DC->AC transformer, leading to an immediate halt of the system, as well as against under-voltage (as in: capacity) of the batteries, which would otherwise quickly damage them.
+
+The inputs to the system will come in a few forms – either assumed, input by the user or measured. The measurements can be easily supplied via smart plugs or measured directly. Ultimately it has to be left to the user to decide how much time to spend on providing additional inputs, that result in improvements of predictions, thus profitability. The goal here is however to keep the measurements optional, not to impose burden on the user.

+# Who
+mj – working for Monero since 2 years on the purely technical level. Speeding up compilation and Continuous Integration on GitHub, keeping an eye on overall efficiency, generating [Monero health report](http://cryptog.hopto.org/monero/health/), reviewing technical PRs, helping out new developers. Lately developing Time Series Analysis tool for Monero Research Lab, called `tsqsim`. [Here’s a list](https://github.com/search?q=is%3Apr+author%3Amj-xmr+archived%3Afalse+is%3Aclosed) of all my contributions to Monero and to the supporting software.
+
+Endor – Aerospace Engineering student and a junior Python developer on the side. I already have a few small projects under my belt - one of which related to automation and monitoring of a live system. I've been following the Monero project for over 5 years, learning the ins and outs of cryptocurrency mining and moderating the Supportxmr chat and the Monero Mining room on Matrix (#xmrmine:matrix.org). I am currently developing a comprehensive economic model of mining, and I plan to publish a small paper/series of articles over the next few weeks that will (hopefully) serve as "the ultimate guide to mining" for newcomers and professionals alike. A glimpse into my work can be seen in [this minimalistic script](https://gist.github.com/endorxmr/07364dc54f277abf487574d455d67341), that dynamically calcylates the CPUs mining profitability and compares it across various other CPUs. An example output (though shortened) can be seen below:

+# Milestones
+
+## 1 Initial setup
+The initial setup, that is able to use static astronomic data inputs (let’s call it by its name used in the industry: seasonality) and simple weather forecasts (sunny/cloudy/in-between) to make predictions based mostly on user input as to how much power a given computer and its cores consume, taking into account how much power is expected to be consumed in house for other purposes, that have to be treated as of a higher priority. Initially a status message will be displayed about what to do manually to maximize the selected goals. Plots of the inputs and outputs will be displayed, that explain why such a suggestion was presented.
+
+Will be done mostly by mj, since Endor shouldn’t be strained with too many foreign systems, only receive the system’s output signals. This will require about 2 weeks of work full time, that makes:
+- 6 (Monday-Saturday) * 2 (weeks) * 8 (hours) = 96 work hours
+- 96 work hours / 10h in a week = 9.6 weeks spread.
+
+## 2 Profitability calculator
+Profitability calculator, taking into account the power costs, grid’s buy-back prices (if available) and user’s price target, at which to sell the mined coins. Also a very important input will be the time-bound energy availability, delivered through the system from the Milestone 1
+
+This milestone will be done mostly by Endor, due to his experience in the field. I will only support via tips such as obtaining user input and code reviews, design suggestions, etc. I won’t count my pay on this one. This can be started before milestone 1) is finished, on a basis of simple generated sinusoidal signals, that will soon enough be replaced with real data.
+
+Endor’s:
+- 6 (Monday-Saturday) * 3 (weeks) * 8 (hours) = 144 work hours
+- 144 work hours / 15h in a week = 9.6 weeks spread.
+
+
+## 3 Measurements
+3) Support for various kinds of measurements – smart plugs, digital converters, software temperature readouts and even simple image recognition of LCD/LED displays of the DC→AC transformer and MPPT regulator.
+
+Both of us have experience in various parts here and wish to take equal part in this milestone. I’ll create up to two examples of image recognition.
+mj’s:
+- 6 (Monday-Saturday) * 2 (weeks) * 8 (hours) = 96 work hours
+- 96 work hours / 10h in a week = 9.6 weeks spread.
+
+Endor’s:
+- 6 (Monday-Saturday) * 3 (weeks) * 8 (hours) = 144 work hours
+- 144 work hours / 15h in a week = 9.6 weeks spread.
+
+## 4 Automation
+Automation of the system, including remote CPU downclocking, selecting the number of threads, putting computers to sleep, and waking them up via the Wake On LAN technology. We will be promoting privacy oriented and non-controversial software, namely: [p2pool](https://github.com/SChernykh/p2pool) and [xmrig](https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig), accordingly.
+
+Same as above, both of us have experience and ideas here. I already perform such tasks manually (via scripts) on my solar farm, so I know “the feel” of the system. Endor has many great ideas and a lot of expertise for this milestone as well, as this resonates with his prior experience with mining profitability and a variety of mining software + hardware.
+
+mj’s:
+- 6 (Monday-Saturday) * 2 (weeks) * 8 (hours) = 96 work hours
+- 96 work hours / 10h in a week = 9.6 weeks spread.
+
+Endor’s:
+- 6 (Monday-Saturday) * 3 (weeks) * 8 (hours) = 144 work hours
+- 144 work hours / 15h in a week = 9.6 weeks spread.
+
+# Legal & privacy
+The project shall be released under AGPLv3. It will send no telemetry by default, unless the user wishes to have their data uploaded and analyzed. The data will surely serve as a stabilization asset of the project and will be included in the automated system tests as one of many test cases. The complete data set to be sent will always be shown to the user for a review and approval.
+
+As I’m familiar with the EU laws regarding solar panels a bit, I will be providing the users non-legally-binding relevant advice.
+
+Even though I’m not strictly an electrical engineer, I know enough tricks in this field and I understand many nuances about the inner workings of such systems. I know what hardware are compatible with each other and how to calculate the supply and demand of the produced power. Therefore I can provide advice in this field as well, yet again: non-legally-binding.
+
+# Proposal
+As of 12 April, XMR/EUR is at 214.92 EUR.
+
+## mj:
+I will be able to spend about 10 hours / week on the project. An amount so low, that it doesn’t collide with my maintenance assignment, nor Monero Research Laboratory, once I switch there for a while. My rate per hour is 45 EUR. The total number of work hours is: 96 + 96 + 96 = 288. 
+288 [h] * 45 [EUR/h] / 214.92 [XMR/EUR] = 60.3 XMR
+
+## Endor:
+I will be able to spend about 15 hours / week on the project. My rate in my first ever proposal is at 25 EUR / h. The total number of work hours is: 144 + 144 + 144 = 432. 
+432 [h] * 25 [EUR] / 214.92 [XMR/EUR] = 50.25 XMR
+
+Since in this case we are really talking about seasonal data, that doesn’t require a lot of readjustments, further maintenance will not be a burden for any of us. Unless many new features are requested, we will gladly maintain it for you without asking for compensation.
+
+## Summary:
+60.3 + 50.25 = 110.55 XMR is what we're asking for. Thanks in advance!
+
+## Deadline calculation
+A rough deadline calculation based on the spread of the hours and including the tasks that can be done in parallel:
+9.6 [weeks] * 3 / 4.1 [weeks in a month] ~ 7 months.
+This coincides with the promise to finalize the project until winter if all goes well with Endor’s plan. If not, I can take over most of the responsibilities, as there are always ~1-1.5 month breaks between my maintenance proposals.
+
+Cheers!

+
+## What
+
+Result: A robust and modular wallet-rpc library, implemented in Rust with WebAssembly (WASM) as the primary target. This library aims to provide a flexible foundation for Monero wallet functionality. The deliverable for this proposal will be:
+
+1. the first part of the wallet-rpc library that can sync transactions and works reliably with remote nodes.
+2. A checkout flow built with this library. This is meant to be used, not just to demonstrate the features.
+3. Detailed documentation for the library, the relationship between nodes and wallets during the syncing process and a guide on how to use this to implement monero payment gateways.
+
+### Implementation
+
+list of initial tasks:
+
+- create function to turn address and private viewkey into viewpair
+- create function to scan transaction with sub functions
+- verify that there is no timelock present
+- calculate transaction amount
+- clarify responsibility of burning bug prevention for the caller
+
+- implement transaction fetching and storage
+- implement burning bug prevention in the checkout flow
+- write unit tests, document and publish the library
+- implement UI for the checkout flow
+
+this task list is not exhaustive and subject to change
+
+## Why
+
+As discussed as far back as two years ago: https://github.com/seraphis-migration/strategy/issues/2
+The wallet2 Monero library is a 15k lines CPP file. The official monero repo does not contain a deliverable that is easily linkable from other programs. Every project that is a wallet or contains wallet-like functionality (payment processors, hardware wallets, point of sale terminals) needs to implement its own wrapper to expose a C ABI.
+
+This results in collectively wasted hours and headaches. It increases supply chain risk and makes building things with Monero harder. As a result, projects get more expensive, take longer or don't happen at all.
+
+This library aims to counteract the issues and limitations of wallet2.cpp by directly targeting wasm.
+Using wasm as the main target means that this library is forced to be implemented in a way that meets the expectations outlined here: https://github.com/seraphis-migration/strategy/issues/1
+
+The benefits of this approach:
+
+### 1. It will be easily linkable
+
+WASM is a very constrained target. There is no garbage collection and multi threading. Getting code to run there means having to write it in a way that is easy to interact with from any language and in any environment.
+
+### 2. It will be more robust
+
+The current monero wallet-rpc is at times unresponsive, because its concurrency mixes the responses of the local rpc with the network interacting with the node. More details in the [monero-playground repository](https://github.com/spirobel/monero-playground). The WASM target constraints ensure that this library decouples the concurrency and networking from the wallet code. The result will be more robust.
+
+### 3. It will be more flexible and not tied to any platform / target
+
+Wallet code deals with the most sensitive data. It should not have unnecessary dependencies or bloat. To give a practical example: monero currently vendors a 4000 lines of code [logging library](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/blob/master/external/easylogging%2B%2B/easylogging%2B%2B.cc) that introduces a dependency on signals. The WASM target constraint means that things like that can't and wont be introduced into this library.
+
+## Milestones and Timeline
+
+value commitment:
+
+The 3 deliverables outlined in the **What** section are the promised outcome of this proposal. Any time left over from the time commitment will be used to further advance the road map. The value commitment is due for the milestone of the second month.
+
+time commitment:
+
+- 100 hours per month for two months (100 hours total)
+- Compensation: 50 XMR per month (100 XMR total)
+- Total compensation: 100 XMR
+
+## Future Roadmap
+
+The next step on the road map is to add transaction building and signing functionality to the library and migrate [the browser wallet](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DLcsQ45zoE) to it.
+
+My endgame is to **remove all friction from the privacy enabled web shopping experience**. Currently most **Monero shoppers** have to copy and paste addresses from the tor browser into their wallets. This opens the door to unnecessary opsec failures, as it is easy to get confused and intimidated by long strings of random numbers.
+
+**A core part of staying private and safe online is to compartmentalize identities.** Qubes OS made some advancements in improving the UX of this activity by coloring different windows that are tied to different identities in a unique way.
+
+The reality is, that installing a different operating system is a large ask for the average person. At the same time we need to onboard as many people as possible to these habits, so we can operate safely in the crowd.
+
+The other venue of attack is **using the browser for compartimentalization.** And before anybody complains: no this does not involve untrusted javascript frontend code.
+
+There is a big difference between a browser wallet and web wallet. A web wallet is a flawed experiment that is borderline custodial, as it runs wallet code inside the context of a website. This is not to be confused with a browser wallet.
+**A browser wallet runs trusted code as a compartmentalized, constrained program inside of a sandbox.**
+
+There is a massive opportunity here to reduce friction by making it easy to separate online identities. The TOR browser currently enables the use of one separate TOR circuit for each tab. **Imagine we have one monero address per tab that is used for login and to send and receive payments.** It makes it much harder to mess up.
+
+One last concern that comes up is that there might be zero day exploits in the browser, as it exposes a potentially larger attack surface. This can be mitigated by making the wallet a multisignature wallet and **using a second device like an android phone or a monero seedsigner to authorize every transaction.**
+This means two devices need to be compromised to capture funds, which is unlikely.

+
+# Who
+
+I am [SyntheticBird](https://github.com/SyntheticBird45), Cuprate contributor.
+
+# What
+
+Cuprate is currently in alpha version and a lot of features are planned on the roadmap up to beta phase. One of the features present on this roadmap, and that was [originally presented when announcing Cuprate](https://github.com/Cuprate/cuprate/blob/fc9b077d946fe8b7746c45ae8b299a87b2014cbf/readme.md?plain=1#L57), is native support for Tor network. This CCS proposal intend to fulfill this milestone.
+
+I will work for an estimated 2 months, from April to end of May, on Cuprate with the goal of implementing native Tor support into `cuprated` through the `arti-client` crate and other miscellaneous improvements.
+At the end of this CCS, testers will be able to:
+- Bootstrap Tor network within Cuprate or use Tor system daemon.
+- Use Tor for outbound clearnet connections.
+- Natively connect to onion monero nodes.
+- Generate an onion service for accepting inbound Tor connections.
+
+# Tasks
+
+The planned set of tasks to complete can be found at this Github gist: https://gist.github.com/SyntheticBird45/4c554d3c1e7ae6f8d237d7dd49c2d2f0
+
+It is subject to change but overall the required work can be separated into 3 categories:
+
+### 1. Alternative network integration into P2P components.
+
+Currently, Some P2P components have limited support for alternative network rules. This will require modifying `AddressBook`, `Connector`, `HandshakeBuilder`, `cuprate-dandelion` crate and `cuprated`'s dandelion implementation, and others to be *anonymization-network-aware*. After this work, we will define a new `NetworkZone` called `Tor` to connect to onion monero nodes.
+
+### 2. Implementation of Arti and Tor Daemon support
+
+Implementing `arti-client` inside `cuprated` and `cuprate-p2p{-*}`. Configurations, initialization, bootstrapping and launching onion services if requested. System tor daemon will also be supported.
+
+### 3. Documentation
+
+Update [Architectural book](https://architecture.cuprate.org) and [User book](https://user.cuprate.org/)
+
+# Additional work
+
+In the event that all guaranteed items are completed before the 2 months, I will spend my remaining time assisting (Issues, PRs and Reviews) on whatever is agreed is highest priority, or working on the following items:
+
+- Custom Allocator support (Performance improvements for Musl based linux distributions and potentially minor improvements on other OSs)
+- SOCKS5 proxy support for p2p
+- Fjall database integration
+- Related documentation
+
+# Milestones
+
+### 1. First month
+
+26 XMR
+
+### 2. Second Month and completion of main tasks
+
+26.5 XMR
+
+# Licensing
+
+All the works completed under this CCS will be delivered to the [`Cuprate/cuprate.git`](https://github.com/Cuprate/cuprate) github repository. This work will follow the current repository licensing:
+- All work inside `/binaries` is licensed under `AGPL-3.0-only`.
+- The rest of the root and crates are licensed under `MIT`.
+
+For more information about the Cuprate github organization, please [visit the organization page](https://github.com/Cuprate)
+
+# Funding
+
+I will be working 30 hours per week during 8 weeks at 45\$/hr - 205\$/XMR.

+
+AlexAnarcho and hundehausen shared a [candid update](https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/524#note_27732) regarding progress of TipXMR. Exerpt below:
+
+>We were young and naive and thought "how hard can it be to code this up" - harder than we thought it turned out.         
+>
+>We had very high standards, trying to use WASM wallets on the client-side where no info is leaked to the hoster of the TipXMR service, but this lead to a high barrier - which in turn lead to us never shipping anything   
+>
+>[...]    
+>
+>We are okay to deprecate the TipXMR CCS proposal and pass our collected funds on to this XMRChat proposal.
+
+The remaining funds from:
+
+* Milestone 2 - Working Prototype with implemented WASM wallet and front-end mockups (34.56XMR)
+* Milestone 3 - Finished product and launch of serivce (36XMR)
+
+Will be rewarded to https://xmrchat.com/ - [source](https://github.com/sa8ab/xmrchat)
+
+Who instead of implementing a WASM wallet to not share view keys with the service host have performed the following tasks deemed to be of the same value/importance:
+
+* Integrated monero-lws to handle multiple streamer view-keys.
+* extra misc. features such as a personal donation page with comments attatched.

+---
+
+### What
+
+This CCS proposal is for 3 months of full time Feather Wallet development.
+
+Non-exhaustive list of things I want to work on/towards or experiment with:
+
+- Bootstrappable builds
+  - Leverage [Guix](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/tree/master/contrib/guix) to produce cross-compiled, reproducible, [bootstrappable](https://bootstrappable.org/) builds for all target platforms and operating systems. Most of the work for this is already [done](https://github.com/feather-wallet/feather/pull/20). This has the added benefit of greatly speeding up release engineering, allowing for quicker release cycles.
+
+- Offline transaction signing using animated QR codes
+  - Export/import outputs, key images and transactions using animated QR Codes based on Blockchain Common's [Uniform Resources](https://github.com/BlockchainCommons/bc-ur).
+  - Work with the [Keystone](https://keyst.one/) team to add support for Monero and integrate with Feather.
+
+- Multi-node syncing (experiment)
+  - Syncing a month worth of blocks now requires more than 300 MB of data. Wallet synchronization (when connected to a remote node) is often limited by one of two things: your download speed or a node's upload speed (for mobile devices your CPU might play a role too). Multi-node syncing will experimentally determine the fastest nodes from your node list and automatically gather blocks from the highest performing nodes to utilize as much of your available bandwidth as possible. If you are on a fast internet connection this can result in dramatically faster syncing.
+
+- Allow skipping synchronization
+  - POV: You just opened your wallet on Tails after leaving it unopened for 3 months. You proceed to wait an hour or more for your wallet to synchronize knowing that there has been no activity. An advanced option to skip synchronization will eliminate the wait and allow you to send transactions almost immediately.
+
+- Improve Tor support and add support for more anonymity networks
+  - Add support for Tor bridges and stream isolation
+  - Switch the Tor client implementation to [Arti](https://blog.torproject.org/announcing-arti/) (when it is ready)
+  - Remove the hard dependency on Tor and allow Feather to be used without anonymity networks
+  - Modularize the anonymity network code to make it possible to integrate other networks like I2P and [Nym](https://github.com/nymtech/nym).
+
+- Mining interface overhaul (+ P2Pool support)
+  - The Mining tab is a bit crude. Mining is [not trivial](https://docs.featherwallet.org/guides/mining-setup) to set-up for new users, and it lacks configurability for advanced users. It's currently not possible to mine without having a wallet open. I want to move the Mining tab to a utility that can be accessed via the taskbar icon. Users should be able to quickly setup P2Pool, solo and pool mining. Feather will be able to run in the background and allow users configure scheduled mining, as well as provide a dashboard where users can check their mining stats and make changes to the configuration.
+
+- Improve packaging for Linux distributions
+  - Make Feather available as a Flatpak, Debian package, and maintain a working -bin package on the AUR. I also want to work on documentation that will help maintainers package Feather for their distribution.
+
+- Support more ways of spending Monero
+  - The libwallet interface lacks support for various advanced ways of spending Monero. The current Feather release added manual input selection. More is still desired, such as multi-destination sweeps or spends with an alternative change address.
+
+- Improved documenatation
+  - I'm already quite happy with the [documentation](https://docs.featherwallet.org/) in it's current state, but there is still room for improvement. A search feature is lacking and some parts could be improved with screenshots. Other parts can be rewritten to improve clarity and a glossary would be a welcome addition. I also want to add a section that goes in depth about threat-modeling to help users make more informed decisions about how they should use and configure the program to address their specific privacy or security concerns.
+
+- Fix bugs and issues as they arise
+
+I'll also work on reviewing contributions to CLI / GUI where I can and work on upstreaming patches to core.
+
+As always I will heavily prioritize user feedback when deciding what to focus on.

 Hello! My name is Tom and I run txstreet.com. (Proof - http://out.txstreet.com/getmonero). I was recommended the CCS by a member of the Monero community to fund the addition of Monero to TxStreet. Because the website remains closed source for now, this proposal will be framed as an advertising campaign.

+
+We've successfully completed all of the goals we set for ourselves in our [first CCS proposal](https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/binarybaron-unstoppableswap.html). The prototype of the GUI we wanted to develop is fully functional (on testnet) and it will soon replace the now obsolete web interface ([UnstoppableSwap.net](https://unstoppableswap.net)).
+Based on the community response to both of our status updates ([reddit post 1](https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/slvy2a/making_atomic_swaps_accessible_to_all/), [reddit post 2](https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/uawipv/atomic_swap_gui_demo_on_mainnet_unstoppableswap/)), we felt that there is a strong desire in the community for us to continue development.
+
+Over the course of 7 months we have:
+
+- Made over **175 commits** to the [UnstoppableSwap GUI repository](https://github.com/UnstoppableSwap/unstoppableswap-gui/commits/main) and developed an initial working prototype.
+    - [Demo video of mainnet swap](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XLGSsggnP0)
+    - [Demo video of decentralized peer discover](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvUsjU67jf0)
+- I’ve become one of the three unpaid volunteers maintaining the [xmr-btc-swap](https://github.com/comit-network/xmr-btc-swap/) repository after the comit guys (original developers who developed the first MVP) have moved on to other projects. I’ve submitted and merged [12 Pull Requests](https://github.com/comit-network/xmr-btc-swap/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Amerged+author%3Abinarybaron+) over the last months and reviewed some more.
+
+### Proposal:
+
+We are excited to keep working on Atomic Swaps. There are still loads of things needed to make it accessible and easy to use for everyone. Therefore we'd like to continue spending our time working on the FOSS GUI for BTC<>XMR Atomic Swaps. It is being built around the *[swap-cli](https://github.com/comit-network/xmr-btc-swap/blob/master/docs/cli/README.md)* and will empower even non-technical people to swap their BTC for XMR in a safe, decentralized and trustless manner. We are asking for 232 XMR for continued development for 4 months. At the end of each month 37 XMR will be paid out. We will work approximately 25 hours per week for 4 months straight which amounts to 400 hours of labour. Our hourly rate is 66 USD which amounts to 232 XMR at a current price of 112 XMR/USD
+
+### Who:
+I am binarybaron, the creator of UnstoppableSwap.net and Monero enthusiast. I was excited about Atomic Swaps from the very beginning, tested the first versions (MVP developed by COMIT guys) and contributed to the project early on. When the first testnet swap provider came online, I realized that we would need a better user interface and a platform to compare different swap providers. I decided to start building UnstoppableSwap.net. To my surprise, the interest was much greater than I could have ever predicted. In the first week alone, the website was visited more than 150,000 times. 
+Once I realized that a website was not enough due to the technical requirements, I started working on a desktop app. Soon after, I submitted my first CCS, which was quickly funded, and developed the first working prototype of the desktop user interface.
+
+### **What:**
+
+1. Development of the graphical user interface (*[GUI](https://github.com/UnstoppableSwap/unstoppableswap-gui)*)
+    1. **Auto Update**. For this to work we’ll need to code sign the releases on Mac OS using a paid certificate. The *GUI* will download and install the new version on startup if a new release is available. 
+    2. **Educate users on the rules of the swap protocol.** There are some simple but important rules all users need to follow to avoid loosing funds. Most importantly the functionality of the cancel and refund timelocks must be understood. If users are not fully aware on how to act in certain scenarios, **they risk loosing funds**. We’re not yet sure how to proceed on this. Some ideas are outlined below:
+        1. Quiz at first start-up to make sure the user understands what rules he needs to follow
+        2. Refer to official documentation of the *[swap-cli](https://github.com/comit-network/xmr-btc-swap/blob/master/docs/cli/README.md)* and the GUI
+        3. Refer to blog posts, videos and other online resources by the community
+    3. **Allow manual cancel & refund of swaps.** Although the *[swap-cli](https://github.com/comit-network/xmr-btc-swap/blob/master/docs/cli/README.md)* should refund swaps automatically in most cases, there are some edge cases where the user is required to cancel & refund manually. This is currently not possible in the GUI. Enabling the user to easily do this in the GUI is a must.
+    4. **Unit and Integration tests.** Although the *GUI* is relatively stable, it has pretty low test coverage. We need to create a lot more unit and possibly integration tests to cover all edge cases. Especially critical code like the internal finite state machine needs extensive test coverage.
+    5. **New Icon**. The current icon was only meant to be a placeholder and wasn’t intended to be final. We’ll either commision someone to make a new one or ask the community for input.
+    6. **Performance improvements.** We need to investigate what the performance bottlenecks of the *GUI* are. The most obvious ones at the moment are:
+        1. Inefficient SQL queries being used for querying the swap database
+        2. Overly-cautious file reads of the swap database
+        3. Unnecessary re-renders of React components
+        4. Blocking code being run in the main thread leading to freezing of the whole application
+    7. **General improvement of the GUI**. Fixing bugs, responding to issues, writing documentation and implementing new features as they come to mind.
+    8. **Switch the GUI from Testnet to Mainnet.** The GUI is currently Testnet only. Once we feel it is stable enough overall we’ll switch it over to Mainnet.
+2. **Development and maintenance of the API that enables clients to easily discover swap providers.** A swap provider is a peer you can connect with to exchange your BTC for XMR. ****Our API indexes them and provides additional data such as their uptime and their age. This API is publicly accessible and can be used by other services (e.g orangefren.com). We provide an HTTP(s) and a WebSocket (socket.io) endpoint which will be documented on UnstoppableSwap.net.
+3. **Development and maintenance of the UnstoppableSwap.net site.** It was the first initial prototype for a user interface for Atomic Swaps. It used to be a very stripped down version of the GUI and allowed users to more easily initiate a swap using the *[swap-cli](https://github.com/comit-network/xmr-btc-swap/blob/master/docs/cli/README.md)* by displaying them with a command they could copy and paste. This was not ideal, as it gave the impression of being user-friendly, but could be quite confusing and risky to use. The site will be converted into a simple download page for the *GUI* (similar to bisq.network)
+4. **Maintenance of rendezvous point.** There are currently three major ways for users to discover swap providers (peers they can swap their Bitcoin for Monero with). This proposal also includes the maintenance of the rendezvous point we run.
+    1. Word-of-mouth: The community can share the address of swap providers online (e.g on Reddit, IRC, Matrix..)
+    2. Centralized peer discovery via UnstoppableSwap API: We actively maintain a database of swap providers which can be used by anyone to retrieve a list of swap providers
+    3. Rendezvous point: The [rendezvous](https://github.com/libp2p/specs/blob/master/rendezvous/README.md) protocol is a lightweight mechanism for generalized peer discovery. It allows for the discovery of peers in a decentralized fashion. We operate a community rendezvous point through which swap providers can make themselves known to users, and through which users can find swap providers with whom they want to swap.(`/dns4/discover.unstoppableswap.net/tcp/8888/p2p/12D3KooWA6cnqJpVnreBVnoro8midDL9Lpzmg8oJPoAGi7YYaamE`)
+5. **Reviewing, merging and possibly submitting Pull Requests to the [xmr-btc-swap](https://github.com/comit-network/xmr-btc-swap/) repository.**
+    1. This proposal is mainly for continued development of the GUI and not for maintenance of the xmr-btc-swap project. **Time spent on the [repository](https://github.com/comit-network/xmr-btc-swap/) will at most be 5% of the total time spent on this proposal.**
+    2. Most of the Pull Requests we’ll submit will be related to making the *[swap-cli](https://github.com/comit-network/xmr-btc-swap/blob/master/docs/cli/README.md)* compatible with the *GUI*
+    
+
+If funded we'll provide monthly updates in the CCS comment section.

+# 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).
