Soloptxmr mj endor 2022

Split milestones 3 & 4 into (3.1+3.2) & (4.1+4.2) for individual devs, as my part of the Milestone 3 (3.1) is done, 4 (4.1) is reachable in a reasonable time as well.

My parts of 3 & 4 deal with being able to perform the same tasks using simpler solutions, yet requiring more initial time investment from the User.

changed the description

The community is not in favor of allowing these milestones to be split up. You and endor should figure out work/timelines that best suit your personal situations -- whatever that looks like -- so they community gets the full benefit of the completed milestones.

Hello all,

Reopening this MR, given it's been several months and the following:

During a community meeting 3 months ago, it was decided to withold mj's partial payment of milestone 3 (MS3) in the best interests of the community. This would:

Prevent project abandonment

• Guarantee that endor had encouragement/help with the uncompleted MS2 + their part of MS3
• Fast-forward to today: due to external/unforeseen factors, endor has not yet been able to complete MS2, MS3 or MS4.

We have learned that the working relationship between mj/endor has fallen apart. mj however, has not only completed their part of MS3 but also MS4. Endor states:

I confirm that I can complete the remainder of my work on M2+M3+M4 independently
(though of course any collaboration is always welcome), and that mj can be paid
for his part of M3+M4 (20.10 XMR + 20.10 XMR, as per the proposal) right away.

-- endor

There has been a public controversy surrounding this proposal. The CCS itself is devoid of opinion/emotion regarding 'extra curricular' activities. Work done as per your proposal is work paid. Currently, SoloptXMR:

• Contains no dev tax.
• With initial setup effort from the end user, external readings via sensors/cameras will control a mining rig.

Now that mj has completed their part of MS3+4 / endor requires no further help / their working relationship is over - reasons for withholding MS3 (and now MS4) may need to be reevaluated.

---

I will make a decision on how to proceed by this the 17th (Saturday) given your feedback and/or votes. If you care, weigh in.

This is factually correct.

I will add here, that the initial setup and external readings via sensors / cameras were planned and are implemented in accordance to avoidance of Vendor lock-in.

@luigi1111 I lean in favor of paying mj if their portion of the milestone(s) is complete.

The arguments I have seen against this (which the CCS can take into account) focus mainly around mj promising that they would take on a managerial role if endor abandoned the project, and ensure everything is completed in a timely manner.

Because endor has not abandoned SoloptXMR (quite the opposite) mj is not expected to do this as 1) endor states they are nearing completion of one of the milestones (progress hindered by issues outside of their control) and have ensured they will complete the rest. 2) funds for uncompleted work are currently endors, and endors only.

Combined with the statement above, these are my reasons for having no issue with the funds being released to mj for hours worked on MS3+MS4.
