+
+# 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.

+## Proposal deprecation / Repurposing of funds (21st Dec, 2024)
+
+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.    
+

+

+- [help maintain](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pulls?q=is%3Apr+label%3A%22build+system%22+author%3Atobtoht) monero core's build system and CI
+- test and review pull requests (GUI/core)
+- upstream useful patches to monero core
+- help out where I can
+
+I want to start off the year by clearing out a good chunk of the small-to-medium size issue/feature backlog for Feather. At the same time, making sure [pending build system PRs](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/issues/9631) for Monero core get reviewed and merged, particularly everything we need for FCMP++. 
+
+After that, I want to continue efforts to add multisig support to Feather by evaluating kaya's FROST-inspired multisig implementation as a more robust replacement for wallet2's implementation. A related [audit](https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/monero-serai-wallet-audit.html) is expected to conclude in March.
+
+### Who
+
+Hi, I'm tobtoht. I am an active contributor to the Monero ecosystem since April 2018. Currently, I maintain Feather Wallet and contribute to the core codebase.
+
+Previous CCS: https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/492

+### Proposal
+
+Work for 480 hours at a rate of €50/h + 0.05 XMR/h. At €190 / XMR (14 day EMA) this makes 150 XMR.

+
+# Introduction
+
+Hi, everyone!
+
+[v1docq47](https://t.me/v1docq47) is here!
+
+This is our new CCS proposal for voiceover of [Konferenco 2024](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsSYUeVwrHBk-C3zImaDAQLx453PL7dR-) videos into Russian, creating other content for [Monero Russian Community Youtube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@MoneroRussianCommunity) and continue supporting [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, transcriptions, voiceover videos and writing various articles and manuals about Monero in Russian.
+
+We also create news [weekly](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixUamqRd3nc&list=PLQyX7h187qnQWtCN6brBXsB9QLEuaJWQO) and [quarterly](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhWi3a3gZXw&list=PLQyX7h187qnTrEQo1n1_-lxR5tk0qlRKo) / [informational](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOsHxWG5jNs&list=PLQyX7h187qnTqq4_-EAnp4HZk9eJpMvZK) / [tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bug2_NvHeNs&list=PLQyX7h187qnTGFHdrdZL7VRxQINEQZ2xJ) videos.
+
+Besides we are publishing text translations of all the Monero speeches both in Russian and English in a separate repository (similar to previous events like [Monero Konferenco 2023](https://github.com/v1docq47/monerokon-2023-transcriptions), [Monerotopia 2023](https://github.com/v1docq47/monerotopia-2023-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 speeches.
+
+That is, we are localizing the Monero project into Russian.

+# What?
+
+During the upcoming period we plan to accomplish the following milestones:
+
+* [start work on voiceover and transcription of Konferenco 2024](https://trello.com/c/jUt3uC8c)
+* [creating videos on working with Monero tools such as Gupax, p2pool, blockchain explorer, etc.](https://trello.com/c/P3tcSWAF/5-tools-in-monero)
+* continue to publish [weekly (20 videos)](https://trello.com/c/bPY8povA/2-monero-news-weekly) and [quarterly (2 videos)](https://trello.com/c/PVgWV6HO/4-monero-news-quarterly) news
+* translate articles and news for [XMR.RU](https://xmr.ru/) and [wiki.xmr.ru](https://wiki.xmr.ru/)
+
+As always, the whole process and progress will be displayed in our [Trello board](https://trello.com/b/MFPsQkbx/december-2024-may-2025).
+
+# 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

+### 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.

+3-Months full-time software development on monero "core" components in 2025 q1/q2.
+
+## What
+Work primarily on `monerod`, `wallet`, and `monero-lws`. Some of the work to be attempted or investigated:
+  - Code reviews of monero core PRs
+  - monerod/monero-lws bug fixes and HackerOne mitigations as they arrive
+  - Keep existing PRs up-to-date:
+    - New Serialization routine
+    - Change from raw pointers to weak_ptrs in levin code
+    - Socks v5
+    - P2P SSL Support
+    - Updating levin callbacks to C++14 moves
+    - Embargo timeout fix
+  - Find (possible) memory leak in weak_ptr PR
+  - 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
+  - Add msgpack support to monerod-ZMQ (requires merging of new serialization system)
+  - `monero-lws` work:
+    - Determine a “push” interface for LWS clients (instead of existing poll interface)
+    - Complete LWS frontend (using `wallet_api.h` as interface) so that wallets can begin using LWS API easily. This is separate from woodser et al working on LWS API within `wallet2` which may be deprecated.
+    - Add a new utility (to LWS-frontend) that accepts a spend key to report balance+spent transactions of wallet (requested via Github Issues). This will help verify accuracy of LWS endpoints
+    - Update LWS spec and implementation to support new "carrot" features (view-balance key, etc)
+    - Update LWS backend to work with fcmp++ experimental branch
+    - Add a "scale" factor to remote scanning load balancing - send more accounts to systems with faster single thread performance 
+    - Add 64-bit ed25519 code for faster arm64 scanning
+    - Provide official LWS docker-image
+    - Provide pre-built binaries
+    - (Unlikely) - reproducible builds so community members can verify+sign the binary hashes
+
+There is intentionally more work than time allows - to ensure there is always something to work on in the proposal.
+
+## Who
+
+Lee Clagett (vtnerd). I've [had](https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/vtnerd-tor-tx-broadcasting.html) [five](https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/vtnerd-2020-q4.html) [CCS](https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/vtnerd-2021-q1.html), [proposals](https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/vtnerd-2023-q3.html) ([last one](https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/vtnerd-2024-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 (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.

+
+What?
+
+XMRChat is website that provides content creators with a service, allowing them a way to receive messages and tips in Monero. We launched https://xmrchat.com/ on 8/4/2024, using it for the first time in MoneroTopia episode 177, where Doug interviewed Saeed, going over the project and what the site is capable of. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1sy8ICsgBQ. We are looking to raise a total amount of 114 XMR at this time, split in 4 milestones as seen above.
+
+Website: https://xmrchat.com/
+X Account: https://x.com/xmr_chat
+Code: https://github.com/sa8ab/xmrchat
+
+How we got started?
+
+In early 2024, FiatDemise was watching a streamer, one that accepts tips from viewers and reads their messages as part of their show. They accept fiat using YouTube Superchats, Rumble Rants, and Streamlabs. They publicly stated they’d like to accept crypto too. FiatDemise started a conversation with their staff to try to get them to use Luke Smith’s Shadowchat. FiatDemise volunteered to pay for a company to install and configure it too. After some promising back and forth, FiatDemise got a response saying the team’s web dev / admin was too busy with current projects and they didn’t want to devote any time towards installing or managing Shadowchat. FiatDemise learned that the market wanted a very simple solution that doesn’t require any installation, hosting, or technical knowledge.
+
+At the time, FiatDemise was volunteering as a tester for xmrbazaar and raised the idea of a simple, hosted superchat solution in that Matrix group. Doug supported it right away, and we began working on requirements and giving shape to the vision with a Balsamiq wireframe. We worked with one developer to create a rough proof of concept. Then we found Saeed, a talented developer who could take the project to the next level. We saw the limitation of RPC, only being able to monitor incoming tips for one wallet, which wouldn’t work with the goal of hosting a solution for many content creators. After research, trial and error, and consultations with VTNerd and Radanne, we got LWS to work. After several more updates, the MVP was launched.
