Creator of xmrguide and maintainer of Feather Wallet. +I have been an active contributor to the Monero ecosystem since April 2018. + +Some of the things I have worked on are: + +- Created and maintained guides to set up Monero on Tails and Whonix ([xmrguide](http://xmrguide42y34onq.onion/), [reddit](https://old.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/h8pbc2/)) +- Made miscellaneous contributors to the GUI (most notably Tails support) +- Maintained a [list](http://xmrguide42y34onq.onion/remote_nodes) of .onion remote nodes with their status +- Co-created Feather Wallet with dsc + +### Proposal + +40 hours per week at 45 USD/hour for 3 months (mid May to mid August) for a total of 91.5 XMR. At a rate of $236/XMR. + +Progress will be reported in #feather on OFTC. Monthly updates will be posted to /r/FeatherWallet in the form on release changelogs. + +Feedback and comments are welcome. + +**To donators**: In the week since I made this proposal there has been some very significant volatility, making it difficult to establish a "fair" XMR/USD price. As such I had to adjust the quoted price down several times because the difference had grown larger than my risk tolerance. I have currently settled on ${current_price} + 20%, in the expectation that the price will recover a bit after such a steep decline. + +To ensure I can sustain myself in the coming months AND the community gets its money's worth, I will extend the time spent on this proposal in case there is significant price appreciation over the next three months, like I did with my previous CCS (1.5 months overtime).
