+
+## TLDR
+Hello, I would like your help to develop more features for Seraphis like the audit framework and a simple CLI wallet.
+
+## What and Why ?
+I will try to address the following issues:
+
+1) Create the necessary functions and explanation for the audit framework in Seraphis, i.e., proofs of ownership, unspentness, tx in, tx out (InProof,UnspentProof,SpendProof, OutProof) and update the [legacy](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/issues/7353) protocol if necessary .
+
+2) Help developing a wallet for Seraphis. My goal is to be able to create the necessary functions to open a wallet, perform a CLI 'transfer address amount' that would create a transaction in the Seraphis/Jamtis standards, close the wallet, re-open a new wallet where the transferred funds are, 'scan the blockchain' and transfer the funds back to the original wallet. I will closely work with koe, rbrunner and jberman to better elaborate the tasks and get feedbacks or follow-ups whenever possible. Initially, the simplest wallet would open/save/close a file, keep track of the transactions inputs and outputs, perform a transfer in the Seraphis standards and prepare everything for the serialization and storage in the blockchain. These are the minimum features I will implement. More about it [here](https://github.com/seraphis-migration/wallet3/issues/10).
+
+
+## Who
+- I created the website [www.moneroinflation.com](www.moneroinflation.com) where you can find some information to improve your odds of winning a debate about the inflation issue in Monero.
+- I have spotted a [fungibility issue](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/issues/8351) (Monero allows the storage of non-canonical points which harms the fungibility of transactions). 
+- I have spotted a [malleability issue](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/issues/8438) (Monero has wrong signatures - signatures that don't match the data stored in the blockchain according to the canonical standards, which came from a wrong operation of a function when certain conditions are not met). 
+- AFAIK I was the first to make an implementation of the core functions of Monero in another language and (try to) scan the whole blockchain with them.
+
+I propose to work for 40 EUR per hour, 25h per week, for 18 weeks. Which makes 120 XMR considering 150 EUR/XMR.
+
+If everything goes well, I believe we could have a basic PoC CLI wallet by the end of January/23 and enough achievements to move to testnet.

+---
+
+## What and Why ?
+
+Since we have now a basic demonstrator of a wallet using a mock ledger, my next goal is to have it on a real ledger. Many components are well developed for that goal like the enote_scanner from @jberman with @SNeedlewoods modifications and the serialization functions from @jeffro256 to enable write/reading transactions into a block in a blockchain file. So the idea is to put all the components together and finish developing the remaining ones in order to have a functional (local) regtest.
+
+The tasks I can foresee for that goal are:
+
+- Review @ghostway's KeyContainer to get it into its final form
+- Have a working MockLedger that correctly handles legacy and seraphis enotes.
+- Have a prototype of a wallet that loads a legacy wallet, derive a seraphis wallet from that and create seraphis transactions (both using Grootle proofs and FCMP) using legacy enotes.
+- Create the basic functions to mine blocks and send enotes to an user.
+- Save/Load the blocks into the blockchain using a LMDB database. 
+- Make sure to have a basic wallet working on a LMDB regtest database capable of doing basic functions like loading the wallet keys and its enote/history, transferring, visualizing and making knowledge proofs on enotes.
+
+There are many intermediary tasks that would be necessary to do that I am not fully aware of now.
+
+## Who?

+
+I propose to work for 42 USD per hour, 20h per week, for 12 weeks (or until we have a functional seraphis wallet in regtest), which makes 80.64 XMR considering 125 USD/XMR.

+
+Heyo everyone. Diego here with a CCS proposal. As some of you may know, we raised funds last year for equipment that will be used at Defcon (and potentially other conferences). This equipment is currently in a storage unit in Las Vegas, Nevada. It's time to pay for another year for the storage space. 
+
+Also as some of you may know, there's a virus thingy going around and conferences are cancelled, including Defcon (which is now having an online conference which we may take part of). This means we won't be using the equipment this year, sadly. Still, it's not going anywhere for future years.
+
+The total cost for the year is $1020. There is still 5 XMR leftover in the Defcon wallet (where sponsors donated to be a part), so that's $300 (assuming $60/XMR). That brings the total needed down to $720, or 12 XMR. Add a sub-10% buffer of 1 XMR and we get 13 XMR.
+
+ajs is currently paying this out of pocket so the XMR will go to him. I'm just making the proposal. If this takes a while to fund I may pay him out of pocket so he's not out money for too long and it'll go to me. Something like that.

+
+## What and Why ?
+
+Transaction history component with knowledge proofs
+
+The idea is to collect transaction records (both for legacy and seraphis) authored by the wallet in order to provide the user the information he wants to look back. This component should import or update authored txs by looking at their enote's key-image and spent status. 
+
+The plan is to go in the direction of building a component to handle transactions by integrating the following non-comprehensive list of equivalent wallet2 methods into a component: get_transfers, get_payments, get_payments_out, get_unconfirmed_payments_out, get_unconfirmed_payments, export_outputs, import_outputs, import_outputs_from_str, export_payments, import_payments, import_payments_out, get_num_transfer_details, transfer_details, get_tx_proof, check_tx_proof, get_spend_proof, check_spend_proof, get_reserve_proof, check_reserve_proof.
+
+An initial discussion about this topic can be found [here](https://github.com/seraphis-migration/wallet3/issues/49).
+
+Since some of these functions are not purely wallet functions as they depend on a daemon, I expect to help and get help to properly interface them with a proto daemon.
+
+All the efforts will be documented and unit_tests will be provided whenever possible.
+
+## Who?
+
+- I did [this](https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/298) and [this](https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/344) previous works and I believe I'm sharpening my skills and understanding of Jamtis and Seraphis to accomplish this work as described. 
+
+I propose to work for 30 USD per hour, 20h per week, for 8 weeks (2 months). Which makes 31 XMR considering 155 USD/XMR.

 # What
 
 32 hours a week for 3 months. [My last proposal](https://forum.getmonero.org/9/work-in-progress/90931/full-time-gui-coding) was the first where I was able to dedicate fulltime attention to Monero. Thus, past 3 months has seen substantial improvements to the GUI. For example, all points from [this issue](https://github.com/monero-project/monero-gui/issues/1568) have been resolved or at least improved upon.

+I've been working non stop on Monero for the last 4 years, most of the time 7 days a week. The only time i had to take a forced break was when my laptop was stolen. Situation that forced me to interrupt all my activities for 10 days. Since i couldn't work i waited to open another CCS proposal, effectively losing ten days of salary.
+
+I've been feeling quite burned out for some time and i really need to take a break, that's why i included two weeks of holiday in this proposal. I will use this time to rest, but also to take care of other Monero stuff that i'm working on.
+
+The two weeks of holiday will be in effect as soon as this proposal is merged.

+
+I triage or review the vast majority of the [issues](https://github.com/monero-project/monero-site/issues) and pull requests on the monero-site repository. You can also see the list of my [past direct contributions](https://github.com/monero-project/monero-site/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Aerciccione) to have an idea of the work i do. I usually post updates about the website on reddit as well (see [the last one](https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/nu8vch/getmoneroorg_updated_many_new_merchants_fixes_and/)), but for this proposal might be more appropriate to share updates on the gitlab repository.
+
+## Milestones
+I'm proposing to do three months worth of work on monero-site at a rate of €30/hour, starting on October 11th 2021, 20 hours a week. This results in a total of 33 XMR at the rate 1 XMR == €217 (10% buffer from current price).
