+3-Months full-time software development on monero "core" components in 2021 q1 (through early q2).
+
+## What
+Work primarily on the `monerod`, `wallet2`, and `monero-lws` (pending feedback in comments). Some of the work to be attempted or investigated:
+
+  - Complete work necessary to merge [DANE/TLSA in wallet2/epee](https://github.com/vtnerd/monero/tree/improve/dane_tlsa).
+  - Adding trust-on-first-use support to wallet2 (already work in progress)
+  - Progress on [my proposal to add encryption to p2p protocol](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/issues/7078) has been slow, but it looks like the consensus is FOR encryption, just no clear consensus on TLS 1.3 vs Noise protocol. Continued work would be design+implementation for the selected encryption technique.
+  - Potential performance improvements:
+    - Improve "cryptonote" read-serialization performance - helps with p2p block responses, RPC responses, among other things. Profiling suggests this could have big improvement on efficiency.
+    - Determine a technique for safely returning `std::weak_ptr`/`std::shared_ptr` of p2p connections - this can help with efficiency in a few areas:
+      - Remove lock acquire to send dandelion++ fluffs and I2P/Tor white noise
+      - Remove lock acquire and atomic increment per connection when relaying bocks (a list is already obtained)
+      - Others? Any `foreach_connection` call that can be safely done concurrently can use this technique
+    - Various epee/p2p serialization (output) routines (carryover from q4, this is difficult to update)
+  - Potential compilation improvements (carryover from q4 since mj-xmr has focused on this more):
+    - Moving serialization code to cpp (although this could be spurious in updates which is frowned upon)
+    - Dropping the templated nature of the epee TCP server would yield best improvement, but might be cause too much "pain" in the review
+  - `monero-lws` work (assuming no complaints in comments):
+    - Provide pre-built binaries
+    - Add support for immediate mempool scanning (via ZMQ-PUB)
+    - (Unlikely this quarter) - reproducible builds so community members can verify+sign the binary hashes
+
+More than 3 months listed there, priorities may change as community requests or issues arise.
+
+## Who
+
+Lee Clagett (vtnerd). I've had [two](https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/vtnerd-tor-tx-broadcasting.html) [CCS](https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/vtnerd-2020-q4.html) proposals. The [full list of my PRs for last quarter CCS](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Avtnerd+created%3A%3E2020-10-27). There's also some investigation/writeup for encrypted p2p, and investigations to improve efficiency (logging in particular) that aren't in that list since any code is still a crude mashup for quick testing. A working, but still in progress [DANE/TLSA wallet implementation](https://github.com/vtnerd/monero/tree/improve/dane_tlsa) also exists.
+
+Bigger higlights: [improved serialization performance to epee binary](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/7009), [removed copy of all outgoing p2p messages and duplicate copies of p2p block notify messages (not merged)](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/7136), [changed p2p connection list to `std::weak_ptr` for small efficiency improvement and code clarity (not merged)](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/7345), [improved `byte_stream` alllocation efficiency](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/7003), [added `byte_stream` realloc to reduce memory usage after new reallocation strategy (not merged)](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/7005), and [fixed timeout bug in Dandelion++](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/7021).
+
+## Proposal
+
+Work on the various tasks outlined above for 40 hours/week over the next 3 months after potential funding. I already use time-tracking software for work; if the hours dip in a given month unexpectedly, the update/milestone will be at the completion of the hours listed above.
+
+The funds were calculated with 55 USD/hour with ~197.85 USD/XMR which is the 14-day exponential moving average on Kraken through 2021/02/16.

+3-Months full-time software development on monero "core" components in 2024 q3.
+
+## What
+Work primarily on the `monerod`, `wallet`, and `monero-lws`. Some of the work to be attempted or investigated:
+  - Code reviews of monero core PRs
+  - Optimization work in monero core (work with the new stressnet team)
+  - Add socks5 support to wallet and monerod (which adds IPv6 support to proxies)
+  - Add support for [torspec/control-spec](https://github.com/torproject/torspec/blob/main/control-spec.txt). This is similar to the SAM proposal for I2P
+  - Get new serialization routine merged (continue work on piecemeal PRs for reviewers sake)
+  - 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:
+    - 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.
+    - Perform apache-benchmark test on REST api to determine effects of blocking ZMQ calls
+    - Cache some ZMQ calls performed during REST api responses to reduce burden on `monerod` and improve REST throughput
+    - Add concurrency to REST API responses - remove blocking ZMQ calls which starve valuable REST thread resources
+      - A switchover to boost asio/beast/azmq from epee/zmq to handle async http responses will be needed
+      - `get_random_outs` endpoint has blocking ZMQ calls that cannot be cached, thus the potential need for async-zmq
+    - 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 [four](https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/vtnerd-tor-tx-broadcasting.html) [CCS](https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/vtnerd-2020-q4.html) [proposals](https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/vtnerd-2021-q1.html) ([last one](https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/vtnerd-2023-q3.html)), and [one Magic Grant](https://monerofund.org/projects/Q1Q2_2024_dev_vtnerd).
+
+Some of my biggest features in monero core repo are [Dandelion++](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/6314), [adding supercop ASM speedups to wallet code](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/6337), [ZeroMQ Pub Support for new blocks and transactions](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/6418), and [SSL support to p2p](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/8996).
+
+I've also made a functional LWS wallet scanner under CCS/Magic - which now has a MyMonero compatible REST API, admin REST API, LMDB storage, subaddress support, webhook/zmq/rmq publishing (new receives, spends, and accounts), multi-machine scanning with (primitive) load-balancing, and an untrusted daemon mode that verifies PoW is valid (whereas normal wallets trust `monerod` responses entirely).
+
+## Proposal
+
+Work on the various tasks outlined above for 40 hours/week over the next 3 months after potential funding. I already use time-tracking software for work; if the hours dip in a given month unexpectedly, the update/milestone will be at the completion of the hours listed above.
+
+The funds were calculated with 65 USD/hour with ~157.41 USD/XMR which is the 9-day exponential moving average on Kraken through 2024/07/11. The rate is up a bit: (1) inflation, (2) volatility protection, and (3) closer in hourly compensation to 2 other contributors.

+## Proposal Update 2024/09/05
+
+- Wobole completed this proposal Jan 22, 2022 as confirmed independantly by 2, native german, community members.
+- A partial address was posted in [this payout request](https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/237#note_21125). 
+- The full address was never shared with Luigi or the acting CCS Coordinator at that time.
+- Wobole has 1 year from now, to attempt to claim these funds by pasting a _new_ payout address from the same Gitlab account. 
+- After 2025-09-05 the entire balance (9.9 XMR) will be returned to the General Fund.
+
+---
+
+Hello everybody, this is Wobole again :)
+
+## What and Why
+I’m proposing to translate the subtitles of “Monero Means Money” and “Sound Money, Safe Mode” via Weblate. 
+As I wrote in my last [proposal](https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/Translation-getmonero-german.html), I feel a thorough localization of the (often pretty complex) world around Monero to be extremely useful, both for intermediates as well as potential future users who are just diving into the matter but are also keen to understand the technical and economic advantages and complexities Monero comprises. And frankly, it would simply be a pity having such high-quality educational and factful contents around which are accessible, but not understandable for many people. I’d really enjoy to change that.
+
+## Who
+I have translated a lot of strings and am one of the most active translators and suggestors on the [Monero Weblate platform](https://translate.getmonero.org/stats/). Feel free to take a look at [my Weblate profile](https://translate.getmonero.org/user/Wobole/) for an impression of my activities. After having translated a significant amount of the GUI wallet, some parts of the CLI wallet and most of the website (all as a volunteer) I was happy to be funded by the community for translating the User Guides and the Moneropedia entries on getmonero.org (and to be able to push for some consistency within the German localization :)). See the related [proposal](https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/Translation-getmonero-german.html) in the CCS. 
+
+## Proposal and milestones
+This proposal includes the following two milestones: 
+1. Translation of the subtitles of “Monero Means Money”
+2. Continued translation of the subtitles of “Sound Money, Safe Mode”
+
+The “Monero Means Money” subtitles comprise 11,689 words, the subtitles of “Sound Money, Safe Mode” 12,405 words. 62 strings of the latter have been translated already; averaging a string with roughly 6,25 words multiplied by 62 makes almost 390 already translated words. For the 1st milestone this equals 4.9 XMR and for the 2nd 5 XMR, totalling up to 9.9 XMR.
+As with the last paid translations and of course the voluntary ones I’m looking forward to delivering high-quality translations to help making Monero more and more used and adopted internationally. If this proposal gets funded, I am going to start working on the translations immediately, and I believe to finish both milestones within a maximum of two months. 
+
+Thanks a lot for reading!

+
+# What
+
+Would love to prolong my Monero coding for another 3 months and dedicate 40h/week, i.e. to work full-time.
+
+There are some specific tasks i would like to work on first.
+
+* CORE: Integrate **@tevador**'s 14-word seed (with wallet restore height encoded) library (related discussion https://github.com/monero-project/monero/issues/6639, PoC https://github.com/tevador/monero-seed)
+* GUI: Tooltips implementation
+* GUI: Restoring wallet from seed - next word prediction/suggestion
+* GUI: Remote node mode - multiple remote nodes support
+
+As usual will be working on Monero Core and Monero GUI code:
+* Inspecting and implementing ongoing feature requests
+* Submitting bug fixes
+* New functionality
+* Code review
+* Putting my efforts where it is appropriate
+
+# Who
+
+I'm Xiphon, active contributor to Monero Core and Monero GUI since July 2018.  
+

+# What
+
+Would love to prolong my part time Monero coding for another 3 months.  
+Will be working on Monero Core and Monero GUI code.  
+* Inspecting and implementing outstanding feature requests
+* Submitting bug fixes
+* New functinality

+
+# Who
+
+I'm Xiphon, active contributor to Monero Core and Monero GUI since July 2018.  
+
+My previously completed CCS proposal: https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/merge_requests/55  
+
+During that 10h/week proposal completed the following features.
+
+**Monero GUI: async tasks processing, fixed UI freezing and lagging.**  
+Introduced background tasks scheduling, moved time-consuming blocking code parts into background async logic implementing all the missing parts needed to accomplish this.  
+Forthcoming Monero GUI v0.15 release will include the improvements, users will notice greatly improved UI response times, no lagging and smooth UX as a result of this work.  
+
+**Implemented decentralized remote node scanning/selection for both CLI and GUI wallets.**  
+Set `--public-node` daemon flag to voluntarily provide public access to your node and allow other Monero users to sync their wallets using it. The daemon will propagate its restricted public RPC port over P2P to other peers.  
+Wallet users could now use `--bootstrap-daemon-address auto` command line daemon flag. The mode is extending `bootstrap-daemon` functionality. Allows to sync and use the wallet while the daemon is syncing with the network.  
+While the daemon is syncing it will automatically select random public node (node that is running with `--public-node` mode enabled) to serve incoming requests (i.e. will use it as a remote node). If currently selected public node fails, the daemon will switch to another randomly chosen public node.  
+Once the daemon is fully synced it will use the local blockchain to serve incoming requests, i.e. operating in normal mode.  
+*Optionally* you can specify `--no-sync --bootstrap-daemon-address auto` daemon flags to force it to act like a proxy redirecting incoming requests to automatically selected public node.  
+Integrated it into GUI Simple Mode, so that is what is used in Simple Mode under the hood now.  
+Advanced GUI users to use this feature should enable local node mode, set `--no-sync` startup flag and set bootstrap daemon address to `auto` on the Node settings tab.
+
+**Apart from the mentioned improvements, committed other changes and bug fixes**

+
+# Proposal
+
+Monero is in active development. There is always a plenty of coding work to be done.
+
+Core and GUI repos contain numerous feature requests and bug reports that might get implemented, some are small and some will take some time to implement.
+
+Looking forward to coding and accomplishing ongoing tasks and issues. Implementing new code/functionality that will be needed. Investigating bug reports and submitting bug fixes, fixing build and compilations errors/warnings/etc. Would like to inspect and complete/fix/address issues and feature requests that are reasonably desired and/or worth to spend time on.  Improving GUI, fixing UI/UX issues, implementing design changes.
+
+Dedicate 20 hours per week to Monero Project, at 55 USD/hour rate for a total of 237 XMR. XMR/USD rate is based on the 14-day moving average exponential on Kraken from 15 Oct 2019, which is approximately 55.59 XMR/USD.

+# What
+
+Would love to prolong my part time Monero coding for another 3 months.  
+
+There are a couple of specific tasks i would like to work on first.
+
+* Improve automatic public node selection algorithm used in `Simple mode` (`---bootstrap-daemon-address auto`).  
+  Currently we use first iteration of the algo and according to the users' reports there is a room for improvement.
+* Implement update downloading and verification functionality in Monero GUI.  
+  There is standalone [monero-update](https://github.com/moneromooo-monero/monero-update) tool already.  
+  Integrating the tool into Monero GUI is the next logical step forward, i.e. downloading and verification new update binaries just in one click.
+* Focus on Monero daemon performance and stability.  
+  I plan to do monerod cpu/memory profiling to investigate possible bottlenecks/weak places, implement appropriate optimizations/fixes based on the profiling results.
+
+As usual will be working on Monero Core and Monero GUI code:
+* Inspecting and implementing outstanding feature requests
+* Submitting bug fixes
+* New functinality
+* Addressing ongoing issues
+* Code review
+* Putting my efforts where it is appropriate

+# What
+
+Would love to prolong my part time Monero coding for another 3 months.  
+
+There are some specific tasks i would like to work on first.
+
+* Add Socks5 support in Monero GUI Advanced mode (remote node only).  
+  Tails, Whonix or any system with restricted network access (through socks proxy).  
+* Portable mode for Monero GUI.  
+  USB stick with Monero GUI. Right now there is no way to quickly access your monero on another PC except manually copying the wallet files and installing Monero GUI there.  
+  Use Monero GUI without leaving a trace on the PC.  
+* Docker Monero GUI Linux static build. Includes finishing CMake integration first.  
+  Provides an easy way (it's literally a one step process) to build Monero GUI from sources.  
+  Also might be used for Monero GUI reproducible builds in the future.
+
+As usual will be working on Monero Core and Monero GUI code:
+* Inspecting and implementing ongoing feature requests
+* Submitting bug fixes
+* New functionality
+* Code review
+* Putting my efforts where it is appropriate

+* Improved automatic public node selection algorithm used in Simple mode (`---bootstrap-daemon-address auto`)  
+  https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/6357  
+  Introduced a scoring system for automatically discovered public nodes, penalizing failing nodes and prioritizing the stable ones.  
+  Please see the linked Github pull request for technical details.

+  https://github.com/monero-project/monero-gui/pull/2832  
+  https://github.com/monero-project/monero-gui/pull/2824  
+  https://github.com/monero-project/monero-gui/pull/2819  
+  Verifies update binary using `shasum`-compatible (SHA256 algo) output signed by two maintainers.  
+  Downloads both required files from getmonero.org:  
+  * `hashes.txt` - signed `shasum` output generated by a maintainer
+  * `hashes.txt.sig` - detached signature of `hashes.txt` generated by another maintainer
+
+  Hardcoded @binaryFate, @fluffypony, @luigi1111 public keys.  
+  Update verification requires using any 2 of them.
+* Reduced Monero daemon startup time *(Work in progress)*  
+  https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/6443  
+  https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/6468  
+  It takes quite a long time to just start the daemon, sometimes it takes up to ~90 seconds on my test machines.  
+  Plan to significantly reduce the daemon startup time.

+# What
+
+Would love to prolong my part time Monero coding for another 3 months.  
+
+There are some specific tasks i would like to work on first.
+
+* Monero GUI Windows static build.  
+  Plan to utilize cross-compilation using recently implemented Docker Monero GUI Linux static build environment.  
+  If there will be any unresolvable issue, we can use Windows native Docker container (based on Windows Server image), but the approach will require using Windows as a host system.  
+* Investigate (and implement if possible) Monero GUI MacOS bundle build environment.  
+* Reproducible Monero GUI Linux build.  
+  Depending on the first task, might also implement Windows reproducible builds, this is unclear at the moment.  
+* Explore Windows GUI binaries signing with a Microsoft certificate.  
+  Could help us to mitigate AV related issues on Windows.  
+  Figure out the procedure and the requirements.  
+  Signing doesn't play well with reproducibility. Think this could be resolved by using/implementing some custom software or a script that will verify signed binary contents skipping the signature. Want to investigate this.
+
+As usual will be working on Monero Core and Monero GUI code:
+* Inspecting and implementing ongoing feature requests
+* Submitting bug fixes
+* New functionality
+* Code review
+* Putting my efforts where it is appropriate

+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.

+### Proposal closed
+
+The remaining funds (30XMR) have been absorbed by https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/374
+
+# What
+[xmrSale](https://github.com/xmrsale/xmrSale) is a lightweight Monero payment processor that connects to your own Monero node, striving to be modular and lightweight. xmrSale has an accessible API written in python that talks to your own Monero node, uses RPC to generate new addresses, and monitors payment success with your own copy of the Monero blockchain.
+
+xmrSale will make it easy to embed Monero donation buttons into your website with an HTML iframe tag, accepting donations from your supporters and community. Through an xmrSale Woocommerce plugin, we are going to allow anyone to self-host their own Monero accepting online store. Monero has been thriving in the "host your own tools" niche of the internet, and self-custody payments are crucial in this mission. Existing Monero eccommerce processors are custodial, sacrificing the privacy of you and your customers.
+
+You can explore a demo of xmrSale here: [https://try.xmrsale.org](https://try.xmrsale.org)
+
+** Please do not donate using the demo, please donate via the CCS **
+
+# Who
+As an anonymous developer, to prove my intention and dedication I have already put significant work into establishing the project to a working state (experimental!), and am somewhat close to achieving the first milestone.
+
+# Milestones
+With your support, I will continually work to ensure that xmrSale remains up-to-date with the SatSale project (from which we are based on), and also build above and beyond Monero specific features as listed below.
+
+**Functioning Monero payment processor with node connection and docker image** (September)
+* Get the project into a functioning state, where anyone running a Monero node could clone the repository, edit the config, and run xmrSale themself.
+* Docker image installation option
+* Instant payments
+* Functioning xmrSale woocommerce plugin
+
+**Text tutorial docs and website** (September)
+* Write coherent and easy to follow installation instructions, aligned to various node configurations.
+* Multiple example configs. Tor & HTTPS configurations. Nginx
+* A functioning wordpress Monero store, with a demo store hosted 24/7
+* Text tutorial
+* Basic HTML and CSS website
+
+**Zeronode mode viewkeys** (December)
+* A mode that does not require a node to run, uses block explorers and viewkeys to check payments.
+
+**RPC via tor hidden service** (December)
+* Rather than use SSH to bridge to node, add option for Tor hidden services.
+
+**Build a plugin for another ecommerce site** (Q1)
+* Community can decide! Perhaps shopify? Let us know!
+
+# Further development and research (not current milestones)
+* Improved user interface
+* More consistent price feeds (preload price too)
+* Single click install container that deploys to a VPS with a node
+* Any developments in the monero payment protocol. Including any layer 2.
+* Security analysis
+* Stress test under concurrent payments
+* Improved user experience with payment timeouts
+* Video installation tutorials
+
+I will take community desire very seriously to guide this project, so if there is something you want but don't see here then please let us know! This proposal will expire 1 March, 2022.

+cheers,
