I've had [three](https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/vtnerd-tor-tx-broadcasting.html) [CCS](https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/vtnerd-2020-q4.html) [proposals](https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/vtnerd-2021-q1.html). The [full list of my monero PRs since last CCS](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Avtnerd+created%3A%3E2021-02-17). I've also written a [msgpack implementation](https://github.com/vtnerd/monero-lws/pull/63) for the new serialization system (in Monero-LWS), an [admin REST](https://github.com/vtnerd/monero-lws/pull/62) api to Monero-LWS, as well as [webhooks for incoming transactions](https://github.com/vtnerd/monero-lws/pull/66) (including a [zero-confirmation](https://github.com/vtnerd/monero-lws/pull/72) for webhooks) (instead of the previously proposed ZMQ-PUB). [Unit tests](https://github.com/vtnerd/monero-lws/pull/53) were also finally added to Monero-LWS. + +## Proposal + +Work on the various tasks outlined above for 40 hours/week over the next 3 months after potential funding. I already use time-tracking software for work; if the hours dip in a given month unexpectedly, the update/milestone will be at the completion of the hours listed above. + +The funds were calculated with 55 USD/hour with ~137.10 USD/XMR which is the 14-day exponential moving average on Kraken through 2023/06/11.
