+# 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
+
+# Who
+
+I'm Xiphon, active contributor to Monero Core and Monero GUI since July 2018.  
+
+My previous CCS proposals: 
+* https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/merge_requests/99
+* https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/merge_requests/55
+* https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/merge_requests/122
+
+During the recent 30h/week proposal i implemented:
+* 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.  
+* Monero GUI one-click update downloading and verification  
+  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.
+
+Submitted numerous bug fixes and improvements to both Monero GUI and Monero Core repositories.
+
+I strongly encourage you to visit the following Github links to see the amount of work done by me, its quality and importance for the Monero Project.

+
+# Proposal
+
+Looking forward to coding and accomplishing mentioned and 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 30 hours per week to Monero Project, at 55 USD/hour rate for a total of 371 XMR. XMR/USD rate is based on the 14-day moving average exponential on Kraken from 15 Apr 2020, which is approximately 53.40 XMR/USD.

+# 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
+
+Part time Monero coding for 3 months. Have a couple of distinct things i want to address and start working on first:
+
+1. Decentralized remote node scanning/selection for both CLI and GUI wallets  
+Provide an easy to use option for Monero remote node users. A feature to sync the wallet and send transactions without relying on any centralized service or specific remote node.
+
+2. Improving GUI requests processing to prevent GUI unresponsiveness and lagging.  
+Improve communication between GUI wallet and the daemon, hardware wallets.  
+Is an important issue that affects UX and overall product quality.
+
+3. Additionally will be working on the GUI and CLI code, submitting bug fixes and addressing the ongoing issues, putting my efforts where it is appropriate
+
+# Who
+
+I'm Xiphon, pretty familiar and contributed to Monero core and GUI codebase, helped to implement subaddress support and other missing parts in CCS backend.

+
+# Proposal
+
+10 hours per week at 55 USD/hour rate for a total of 111 XMR. XMR/USD rate is based on the 14-day moving average exponential on Kraken from 5 April 2019, which is approximately 59.36 XMR/USD.
+
+## Decentralized remote node scanning/selection for both CLI and GUI wallets  
+
+As a part of this approach I've implemented `--public-node` (already merged) mode. Once it is enabled user's daemon starts to advertise its public RPC port to others through P2P.  
+And also committed `--no-sync` cli switch that optionally prevents a daemon from downloading the blockchain.
+
+Regarding the proposal I plan to introduce `--bootstrap-daemon auto` mode that will lookup for available public nodes (collect the list over P2P) and then proxify (utilizing current `--bootstrap-daemon` implementation) any incoming RPC request to automatically selected remote node.
+
+Both used in conjunction `--no-sync --bootstrap-daemon auto` on the wallet side and having enough volunteers running their nodes in `--public-node` mode will achieve the specified goal (CLI wallet).
+
+Finally, I will integrate it into GUI wallet to enhance the Simple Mode.
+
+## Improving communication between local daemon and GUI wallet
+
+Current GUI wallet lags and UI becomes unresponsive for quite a noticeable and annoying time during wallet operations. Hardware wallet communications (Ledger/Trezor) freeze the UI as well.
+
+Will locate the code parts that block the UI in order to implement background and/or kind of async requests processing. Might involve some related optimizations and speedups.

+
+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.

+
+_All remaining funds (36.67 XMR) have been transferred to [Monerotopia 2024 marketing and publicity](https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/monerotopia2024publicity.html)_
+
+A big thanks again to everyone who supported Round 2 of funding for Monero Outreach! Final report can be found [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/bonpt3/monero_outreach_round_2_ccs_final_report_see_what/). 
+We have made significant progress in our ability to support and enhance the outreach efforts of the Monero Community, and are beginning to receive requests for support from various areas of the Monero ecosystem. We are honored to be able to support Monero in this way, and we look forward even more to what is ahead!
+
+Below is a breakdown of what we intend to work on for Round 3. Please note the Ongoing Project Tasks that we are working on now, during, and in between our CCS proposals. We have continued to volunteer on this important endeavor in between proposals.
+
+# WHO:
+
+#### Monero Outreach 
+
+We are a workgroup of creators, writers, technicians, translators, and visionaries. This is our Mandate:
+- Drive greater Monero adoption and awareness through a variety of outreach-related activities; particularly public relations, education, and marketing.
+- Respect the work done by the Core Developers and community workgroups, the founding principles of Monero, and the Monero ethos at all turns in the road so we do not jeopardize the integrity of what makes Monero great.
+- Make the world a better place through Monero. We are motivated by the question: "How can we expect to prepare our children to live in this world, if we haven't prepared the world for our children”?
+Learn more about us on our website: [https://www.monerooutreach.org/about.php]
+
+# WHAT:
+
+We will work toward the following milestones:
+

+A big thanks again to everyone who supported our initial FFS!(final report) We learned a lot during the first round, have created a solid foundation, and are ready to jump back in for a new round of Outreach related awesomeness. We hope the Monero community is as enthusiastic as us about what’s ahead! Below is a breakdown of what we intend to work on. Please note the Ongoing Project Tasks that we are working on now, during, and in between our FFS proposals. We have continued to volunteer on this important endeavour in between proposals.
+WHO:
+
+Monero Outreach. We are a team of creators, writers, technicians, translators, and visionaries. This is our Mandate:
+
+    Drive greater Monero adoption and awareness through a variety of outreach-related activities - particularly public relations, education, and marketing.
+    Respect the work done by the Core Developers and community workgroups, the founding principles of Monero, and to the Monero ethos at all turns in the road so we do not jeopardize the integrity of what makes Monero great.
+    Make the world a better place through Monero. We are motivated by the question: "How can we expect to prepare our children to live in this world, if we haven't prepared the world for our children?"
+
+Learn more about us on our website: https://www.monerooutreach.org/about.php You can see what Monero Outreach has produced here, here, and here.
+WHAT:
+
+This is what we will be working on for the next few months (please note these did not start until ffs was funded in January):

+### 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,
