Mooo's july 2019 ccs

Hi all,

I'm continuing with more work on Monero. This is my request for donations for this work for the next three months.

Highlights of last three month stint can be found here: !46 (merged)

Here are some of the things that I'm expecting to work on:

0.14.1 release
bandwidth savings in sync
more tests
CLSAG integration (assuming it passes final MRL vetting)
Possibly Dandelion, assuming again MRL vets a monero version

With the usual hourly $30 + .2 monero guide, and monero currently at $93 $85 $82, the target this time is 272 288 294 monero.

Thank you

To all donators: I am taking some time off for the first time in... well, a lot. I'll still be around but not do (much) Monero work for a while. I will adjust the next CCS to account for however much time I end up taking off. Thanks for supporting me to work on Monero :) (yay summer!)
