# What
|
|
|
|
Part time Monero coding for 3 months. Have a couple of distinct things i want to address and start working on first:
|
|
|
|
1. Decentralized remote node scanning/selection for both CLI and GUI wallets
|
|
Provide an easy to use option for Monero remote node users. A feature to sync the wallet and send transactions without relying on any centralized service or specific remote node.
|
|
|
|
2. Improving GUI requests processing to prevent GUI unresponsiveness and lagging.
|
|
Improve communication between GUI wallet and the daemon, hardware wallets.
|
|
Is an important issue that affects UX and overall product quality.
|
|
|
|
3. Additionally will be working on the GUI and CLI code, submitting bug fixes and addressing the ongoing issues, putting my efforts where it is appropriate
|
|
|
|
# Who
|
|
|
|
I'm Xiphon, pretty familiar and contributed to Monero core and GUI codebase, helped to implement subaddress support and other missing parts in CCS backend.

# Proposal
|
|
|
|
10 hours per week at 55 USD/hour rate for a total of 111 XMR. XMR/USD rate is based on the 14-day moving average exponential on Kraken from 5 April 2019, which is approximately 59.36 XMR/USD.
|
|
|
|
## Decentralized remote node scanning/selection for both CLI and GUI wallets
|
|
|
|
As a part of this approach I've implemented `--public-node` (already merged) mode. Once it is enabled user's daemon starts to advertise its public RPC port to others through P2P.
|
|
And also committed `--no-sync` cli switch that optionally prevents a daemon from downloading the blockchain.
|
|
|
|
Regarding the proposal I plan to introduce `--bootstrap-daemon auto` mode that will lookup for available public nodes (collect the list over P2P) and then proxify (utilizing current `--bootstrap-daemon` implementation) any incoming RPC request to automatically selected remote node.
|
|
|
|
Both used in conjunction `--no-sync --bootstrap-daemon auto` on the wallet side and having enough volunteers running their nodes in `--public-node` mode will achieve the specified goal (CLI wallet).
|
|
|
|
Finally, I will integrate it into GUI wallet to enhance the Simple Mode.
|
|
|
|
## Improving communication between local daemon and GUI wallet
|
|
|
|
Current GUI wallet lags and UI becomes unresponsive for quite a noticeable and annoying time during wallet operations. Hardware wallet communications (Ledger/Trezor) freeze the UI as well.
|
|
|
|
Will locate the code parts that block the UI in order to implement background and/or kind of async requests processing. Might involve some related optimizations and speedups. |
