Now I want to move its manifest to the [monero-gui](https://github.com/monero-project/monero-gui) repository. The org.getmonero.Monero github repo which is now used to push files to flathub will be discontinued. The files will be built and pushed directly from the monero-gui repository. Users will then be able to compare the hashes of files on their machines to those from the monero-gui workflow run. We can then give Monero-gui flatpak app a "verified" checkmark. This is an optional step for the community to decide at a later date. Flatpak installs will still remain 3rd-party and users are encouraged to confirm hashes, as they are with any other package repository. + +Thanks to this, users will be able to trust this flatpak package more. + +## Installing and using + +The `org.getmonero.Monero` flatpak package is a good replacement for ordinary packages in GNU/Linux distributions, for example it can be used in Whonix to [replace](https://forums.whonix.org/t/how-to-verify-the-monero-binaries-that-are-shipped-with-whonix/16439/10) the Debian package. + +At first you have to [setup flatpak](https://flatpak.org/setup) with Flathub repository on your GNU/Linux distribution. After that, run this command: +``` +$ flatpak install flathub org.getmonero.Monero +``` + +By default, `org.getmonero.Monero` has access only to the `~/Monero` directory, if you need more, do it: +``` +$ flatpak --user override --filesystem=/path_to_your_directory org.getmonero.Monero +``` + +Some people need access to the `monerod` command: +``` +$ flatpak run --command=monerod org.getmonero.Monero [options|settings] [daemon_command...] +``` + +## About me + +I am [BigmenPixel](https://github.com/BigmenPixel0), who maintains Monero GUI on Flathub and some packages in the [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/account/BigmenPixel). + +### Milestone 1 (3.5XMR) + +Move the manifest to the [monero-gui](https://github.com/monero-project/monero-gui) repository. + +### Milestone 2 (6.5XMR) + +1 year of maintenance to be paid quarterly @1.63XMR after performance review (updates are ready in a timely manner / critical issues solved). + +These rates are based off of the previous [debian package maintenance](https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/adrelanos-debian-package.html) proposal.
