Merged Continued Feather Wallet development (3 months)
tobtoht/ccs-proposals:tobtoht-master-patch-16320 into master
Merged tobtoht requested to merge tobtoht/ccs-proposals:tobtoht-master-patch-16320 into master

This proposal is for 3 months of full time Feather Wallet development.

What

  • work on issues/ideas reported by users
  • work on tasks listed on the ideas page
  • upstream useful patches to monero core
  • test and review pull requests (GUI/core)
  • help out where I can

As always, I heavily prioritize user feedback when deciding what to focus on.

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://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/tobtoht-feather-dev-2022-1.html

Progress updates are posted to #feather:monero.social and /r/FeatherWallet.

Proposal:

Work for 40 hours per week for the next 3 months at a rate of €45/h. At €152 / XMR (14 day EMA) this makes 142 XMR.

    My positive sentiment / feathers popularity has only increased since my comment on tobtohts previous proposal. It is my understanding that with bootstrappable builds now out of the way, more time can be dedicated to items on the ideas list. Exciting!
