DASH ELECTRUM MAR 2019
Overview:
Electrum is probably the most popular open-source SPV wallet for bitcoin. Early 2017 I’ve picked up maintenance and support for DASH Electrum. Since then, I’ve assembled a small team of three developers. This is a proposal to fund the continuing development and support for Dash Electrum.
Scope and deliverables:
Since last proposal, we’ve
releases v 3.2.3.2
released v 3.2.4
released v 3.2.5
followed the upstream changes in preparation for their release
coded required changes to support Dash Core release of version 0.13
working on InstantSend support on both client and server side
Execution and Schedule:
Work already performed or in progress. Deliverables are released publicly as soon as they are ready.
Roadmap:
We are positioning Dash Electrum as the default front-end for dash ecosystem, with focus on privacy by default.
Our current roadmap is the following:
keep up with the upstream development
submission of Android version to Google Play and FDroid
instantsend support
coding in the new Bluetooth hardware wallet support, including mobile support (with cooperation with HIDEEZ)
privatesend support
applets/plugins:
masternode monitoring
budget proposals monitoring (incl. discussions)
pay for fiat services
point of sales
shared masternodes
Note that we’re working half time on the project, so things take longer than we expect.
About me:
I’m active software developer for over 25 years and for last 15 years I develop mainly in Python. I’m in DASH since late 2014 (you can track my posts on the forum). I package dash electrum for more a year now.
Amount requested:
This time we will request 3-month funding that would cover our burn rate at current exchange rate which is $92.77USD/Dash at the moment of this post.
Budget calculation:
proficit at the Mar 5th: 7.84DASH
burn rate: 55.54DASH for 3 month = 166.62DASH
proposal submission fee: 5DASH
Total: ~180DASH over 3 month or 60DASH per month.
To provide transparency, funds would be directed to a separate wallet, as with previous proposal.
In case of DASH appreciation, any leftover funds would be spent to extend the duration of the project. In case of DASH depreciation, we will go into a deficit mode again and will submit a new proposal after the end of this 3month period.
