acx Monfluo maintenance and further development (3 months)
Who
Hi, I am acx.
About six months ago I have forked Mysu (an abandoned Android wallet) and continued its development and maintenance.
The fork is named Monfluo and is available here
Since starting the fork, I did (among other things) the following:
- Implemented multi-wallet functionality (also wallet renames and deletion)
- Implemented multi-account functionality
- Separated wallet password and seed offset (previously you could not set them to different values)
- Reworked secrets tab, allowing the user to apply seed passpharse offset when saving seed
- Fixed a bug where sync progress was lost when the wallet was closed before the sync is finished
- Implemented APK building in the pipeline (making it easier for users to test any commit without waiting for a release)
- and several other changes, you can check all of them here
Monfluo is by design a very simple wallet, and one of the goals is having no "integrations" such as swapping services, sending to other cryptos, fiat on/off-ramps, etc. I do not earn any fees from the wallet.
What
I will continue maintenance and development of Monfluo. I will be working on the things listed here, among the most important ones:
- Updating to newer Monero versions, when required
- Setting up a clearnet F-Droid repo together with an onion mirror
- Setting up translations
- Issues #67 and #71
- Working on making Monfluo reproducible (I do not expect to finish this one during this CCS, but I want to start investigating it)
Funding
I am asking for 25$/h.
With 40 hours a month (~9 hours a week) * 3 months at ~$215/XMR this makes 25*40*3/215 ~= 14 XMR

Activity
I fully support this proposal. While I understand the founded hesitation of some community members, as this would not directly benefit Monero's upstream source directly, it'll still deliver a minimalistic, debloated, simple send and receive experience to users and could potentially be considered a portable Feather wallet for Android, in some ways. It might not come with the built-in Tor daemon, but it is certainly quite snappy at what it does.
I have worked along with shortwavesurfer and acx since acx got the initial bounty that started it all here, which goes to prove the Proof-of-Work from acx, is there. Last but not least, 14 XMR to further polish the initial "Mysu return" is cheap, especially considering the goal with it is to make it as barebones and easy-to-maintain as possible.
There's even an open issue to make it reproducible in the future!
