What
Would love to prolong my part time Monero coding for another 3 months.
There are a couple of specific tasks i would like to work on first.
- Improve automatic public node selection algorithm used in
Simple mode(---bootstrap-daemon-address auto).
Currently we use first iteration of the algo and according to the users' reports there is a room for improvement. - Implement update downloading and verification functionality in Monero GUI.
There is standalone monero-update tool already.
Integrating the tool into Monero GUI is the next logical step forward, i.e. downloading and verification new update binaries just in one click. - Focus on Monero daemon performance and stability.
I plan to do monerod cpu/memory profiling to investigate possible bottlenecks/weak places, implement appropriate optimizations/fixes based on the profiling results.
As usual will be working on Monero Core and Monero GUI code:
- Inspecting and implementing outstanding feature requests
- Submitting bug fixes
- New functinality
- Addressing ongoing issues
- Code review
- Putting my efforts where it is appropriate
