# What
|
|
|
|
Would love to prolong my part time Monero coding for another 3 months.
|
|
|
|
There are some specific tasks i would like to work on first.
|
|
|
|
* Add Socks5 support in Monero GUI Advanced mode (remote node only).
|
|
Tails, Whonix or any system with restricted network access (through socks proxy).
|
|
* Portable mode for Monero GUI.
|
|
USB stick with Monero GUI. Right now there is no way to quickly access your monero on another PC except manually copying the wallet files and installing Monero GUI there.
|
|
Use Monero GUI without leaving a trace on the PC.
|
|
* Docker Monero GUI Linux static build. Includes finishing CMake integration first.
|
|
Provides an easy way (it's literally a one step process) to build Monero GUI from sources.
|
|
Also might be used for Monero GUI reproducible builds in the future.
|
|
|
|
As usual will be working on Monero Core and Monero GUI code:
|
|
* Inspecting and implementing ongoing feature requests
|
|
* Submitting bug fixes
|
|
* New functionality
|
|
* Code review
|
|
* Putting my efforts where it is appropriate
|
|
|
|
# Who
|
|
|
|
I'm Xiphon, active contributor to Monero Core and Monero GUI since July 2018.
|
|
|
|
My previous CCS proposals:
|
|
* https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/merge_requests/99
|
|
* https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/merge_requests/55
|
|
* https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/merge_requests/122
|
|
|
|
During the recent 30h/week proposal i implemented:
|
|
* Improved automatic public node selection algorithm used in Simple mode (`---bootstrap-daemon-address auto`)
|
|
https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/6357
|
|
Introduced a scoring system for automatically discovered public nodes, penalizing failing nodes and prioritizing the stable ones.
|
|
Please see the linked Github pull request for technical details.
|
|
* Monero GUI one-click update downloading and verification
|
|
https://github.com/monero-project/monero-gui/pull/2832
|
|
https://github.com/monero-project/monero-gui/pull/2824
|
|
https://github.com/monero-project/monero-gui/pull/2819
|
|
Verifies update binary using `shasum`-compatible (SHA256 algo) output signed by two maintainers.
|
|
Downloads both required files from getmonero.org:
|
|
* `hashes.txt` - signed `shasum` output generated by a maintainer
|
|
* `hashes.txt.sig` - detached signature of `hashes.txt` generated by another maintainer
|
|
|
|
Hardcoded @binaryFate, @fluffypony, @luigi1111 public keys.
|
|
Update verification requires using any 2 of them.
|
|
* Reduced Monero daemon startup time *(Work in progress)*
|
|
https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/6443
|
|
https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/6468
|
|
It takes quite a long time to just start the daemon, sometimes it takes up to ~90 seconds on my test machines.
|
|
Plan to significantly reduce the daemon startup time.
|
|
|
|
Submitted numerous bug fixes and improvements to both Monero GUI and Monero Core repositories.
|
|
|
|
I strongly encourage you to visit the following Github links to see the amount of work done by me, its quality and importance for the Monero Project.

# Proposal
|
|
|
|
Looking forward to coding and accomplishing mentioned and ongoing tasks and issues. Implementing new code/functionality that will be needed. Investigating bug reports and submitting bug fixes, fixing build and compilations errors/warnings/etc. Would like to inspect and complete/fix/address issues and feature requests that are reasonably desired and/or worth to spend time on. Improving GUI, fixing UI/UX issues, implementing design changes.

Dedicate 30 hours per week to Monero Project, at 55 USD/hour rate for a total of 371 XMR. XMR/USD rate is based on the 14-day moving average exponential on Kraken from 15 Apr 2020, which is approximately 53.40 XMR/USD.
