This would speed up wallet scanning today, and is part of an effort to deprecate wallet2 and its technical debt, and replace it with the Seraphis lib ([source](https://github.com/seraphis-migration/wallet3/issues/64#issuecomment-2067030930)). + - Next I plan to resolve merge conflicts in the current open PR's, and open all piecemeal PR's to the core Monero release branch to prepare Monero daemons/wallets and reduce the size and scope of the async scanner PR. +- Misc. review, debugging, etc. + +## Who + +j-berman on github / jberman on matrix / IRC + +Past CCS's: +- https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/j-berman-3months-full-time-7.html +- https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/j-berman-3months-full-time-6.html +- https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/j-berman-3months-full-time-5.html +- https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/j-berman-3months-full-time-4.html +- https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/j-berman-3months-full-time-3.html +- https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/j-berman-3months-full-time-2.html +- https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/j-berman-3-months-full-time.html + +## Proposal + +317 XMR + +480 hours, 0.25 XMR/hr + $65/hr, $158/XMR from coingecko
