## What
Work full-time for 480 hours on:
- Cuprate
  - Alpha release cycle [1](https://github.com/Cuprate/cuprate/issues/371) [2](https://github.com/Cuprate/cuprate/issues/374)
  - User book [1](https://user.cuprate.org) [2](https://github.com/Cuprate/cuprate/pull/165) [3](https://hinto-janai.github.io/cuprate-user-book)
  - Project roadmap Q1/Q2 goals [1](https://github.com/Cuprate/cuprate/issues/376) [2](https://github.com/Cuprate/cuprate/pull/369) [3](https://github.com/Cuprate/cuprate/pull/370)
  - Misc. review work
- Monero
  - FCMP++ related review [1](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/9440) [2](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/9436) [3](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/issues/9422#issuecomment-2504037485)

Cuprate is preparing its first alpha release, with a 4-week cycle. A progress report for 2024 is [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/1ij2sw6/cuprate_2024_progress_report), the roadmap for 2025 is [here](https://github.com/Cuprate/cuprate/issues/376). I will be buying/renting a variety of hardware for testing/development and will post receipts for all hardware acquired at the time of exchange within this CCS.

If developer resources becomes a bottleneck for FCMP++ activation on `monerod`, I will switch priority when/where possible. This was discussed [here](https://github.com/monero-project/meta/issues/1137). Otherwise, I will continue working on Cuprate Q1/Q2 goals noted in the project roadmap, specifically: user book, release cycle, RPC integration [1](https://github.com/Cuprate/cuprate/issues/379).
