Continued Feather Wallet development (3 months)

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 and MAINTENANCE.md
• 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: !376 (merged)

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 €148 / XMR (14 day EMA) this makes 146 XMR.
