What

Would love to prolong my Monero coding for another 3 months and dedicate 40h/week, i.e. to work full-time.

There are some specific tasks i would like to work on first.

  • CORE: Integrate @tevador's 14-word seed (with wallet restore height encoded) library (related discussion https://github.com/monero-project/monero/issues/6639, PoC https://github.com/tevador/monero-seed)
  • GUI: Tooltips implementation
  • GUI: Restoring wallet from seed - next word prediction/suggestion
  • GUI: Remote node mode - multiple remote nodes support

As usual will be working on Monero Core and Monero GUI code:

  • Inspecting and implementing ongoing feature requests
  • Submitting bug fixes
  • New functionality
  • Code review
  • Putting my efforts where it is appropriate

Who

I'm Xiphon, active contributor to Monero Core and Monero GUI since July 2018.

  • CLI: Auto-updater. Updates downloading and verification functionality Work In Progress

in order to not clutter the proposal i'm not listing all the related pull requests. I strongly encourage you to visit the following Github links to see the amount of work done by me, its quality and importance for the Monero Project.

  • Monero GUI - https://github.com/monero-project/monero-gui/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Axiphon

Proposal

Looking forward to coding and accomplishing mentioned and ongoing tasks and issues. Implementing new code/functionality that will be needed. Investigating bug reports and submitting bug fixes, fixing build and compilations errors/warnings/etc. Would like to inspect and complete/fix/address issues and feature requests that are reasonably desired and/or worth to spend time on. Improving GUI, fixing UI/UX issues, implementing design changes.

Dedicate 40 hours per week to Monero Project, at 55 USD/hour rate for a total of 181 XMR. XMR/USD rate is based on the 14-day moving average exponential on Kraken from 5 Feb 2021, which is approximately 146.17 XMR/USD.
