dangerousfreedom - seraphis wallet work until regtest

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 did this, this, this and this previous works.

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.

+1

Positive / merge sentiment from #no-wallet-left-behind coordinator rbrunner and jeffro who was specifically mentioned in this proposal @ the last community meeting https://libera.monerologs.net/monero-community/20240413#c363906

as there is a change in rates, last thing would be to mention why we are adding +2 usd to the hourly, and increasing the weekly hours by 10 for this current proposal.

Regarding time: I do have a bigger time budget for the next months but in view of the FCMP discussions I will dedicate this extra time to learn that. So I lowered my week load for this CCS. Regarding rates: I adjusted it to account inflation.

As per !537 (merged) you are invited to share progress / updates on your proposal at the bi-weekly meetings which can be found in the monero-meta repository under issues.

You've already communicated that you wish to close this proposal and have the funds re-allocated due to you not being able to allocate time for it. A loose consensus for leaving this open seemed fair as other proposal have laid dormant for longer than your expected hiatus.

Do you still wish to close this proposal?
