tipxmr: deprecate and repurpose funds

plowsoff requested to merge plowsofff-master-patch-80ee into master

Proposal deprecation / Repurposing of funds (21st Dec, 2024)

AlexAnarcho and hundehausen shared a candid update regarding progress of TipXMR. Exerpt below:

We were young and naive and thought "how hard can it be to code this up" - harder than we thought it turned out.

We had very high standards, trying to use WASM wallets on the client-side where no info is leaked to the hoster of the TipXMR service, but this lead to a high barrier - which in turn lead to us never shipping anything

[...]

We are okay to deprecate the TipXMR CCS proposal and pass our collected funds on to this XMRChat proposal.

The remaining funds from:

  • Milestone 2 - Working Prototype with implemented WASM wallet and front-end mockups (34.56XMR)
  • Milestone 3 - Finished product and launch of serivce (36XMR)

Will be rewarded to https://xmrchat.com/ - source

Who instead of implementing a WASM wallet to not share view keys with the service host have performed the following tasks deemed to be of the same value/importance:

  • Integrated monero-lws to handle multiple streamer view-keys.
  • extra misc. features such as a personal donation page with comments attatched.
