There are additional tasks I would like to work on. For background on this CCS, please see the links in the previous sentence. + + +## Continuing work + +Here are the tasks I hope to finish by the end of this CCS. As before, these will be implemented in my [seraphis_lib](https://github.com/UkoeHB/monero/tree/seraphis_lib) branch. + +- Add tx builder plumbing for _discretized_ tx fees (see the [04/20/22 MRL meeting](https://github.com/monero-project/meta/issues/691) for a discussion). +- Consider using 16-byte address indices (instead of 7), with 2-byte encoded address index MACs (instead of 1). +- Implement a robust 'input selection' solver that takes advantage of statically-determinable tx weights. +- Implement a maximally-efficient and generic enote-scanning workflow. +- Build a wallet proof-of-concept that demonstrates all the 'transaction engineering' capabilities and implementation modularity of Seraphis/Jamtis. My goal is to have unit tests representing all the main workflows possible with Seraphis, and all the main wallet implementations necessary (i.e. mock-ups of interfaces that could potentially be developed into full-fledged wallet software). +- Test out using x25519 for enote ECDH instead of ed25519, which may speed up enote scanning by a non-trivial amount (>10%). +- Miscellaneous code cleanup (mostly update/add comments, cleanup TODOs). + +As usual, I will also lump all the miscellaneous Monero R&D tasks that I work on into this CCS (e.g. in the last period I did more review/work on multisig security patches, among other things). + + +## Funding + +- Rate: 50 USD + 0.2 XMR +- Hours: 16 weeks @ 20hr/wk = 320hrs +- XMR equivalent: 64 + (50\*320)/USD\_EXCHANGE\_RATE XMR +- USD\_EXCHANGE\_RATE: set from 14-day EMA on a major exchange + - 175 USD/XMR at 0100 UTC 05/16/2022 w/ 14-day EMA on Kraken -> 155 XMR total + +If I require more time, and the community supports it, then I may make another proposal to extend the hours.
