What

Work full-time for 480 hours on:

• Cuprate
  • Bootstrappable builds 1 2
  • PoWER integration (waiting on upstream merge)
  • User book 1
  • Releases 1 2
  • Misc review, issues, PRs
• Monero
  • Changes for PoWER

I'll be focusing on bootstrappable builds for Cuprate using StageX. If tobtoht implements StageX for monero-project/monero I will help there with review/testing if/when possible.

Other time will be spent on PoWER review changes + integrating it into Cuprate, and reviewing/testing Boog's DB/RPC/wallet changes.

I think a bit more than ~3 months will be required although when the above changes are ready, Cuprate can begin beta releases, marking core functionality parity with monerod with much faster performance and less disk space usage.
