What

Work full-time for 480 hours on:

• Cuprate
  • Alpha release cycle 1 2
  • User book 1 2 3
  • Project roadmap Q1/Q2 goals 1 2 3
  • Misc. review work
• Monero
  • FCMP++ related review 1 2 3

Cuprate is preparing its first alpha release, with a 4-week cycle. A progress report for 2024 is here, the roadmap for 2025 is here. I will be buying/renting a variety of hardware for testing/development and will post receipts for all hardware acquired at the time of exchange within this CCS.

If developer resources becomes a bottleneck for FCMP++ activation on monerod, I will switch priority when/where possible. This was discussed here. Otherwise, I will continue working on Cuprate Q1/Q2 goals noted in the project roadmap, specifically: user book, release cycle, RPC integration 1.
