I haven't logged here for a while, but i logged today to thank you for RingCT.
Cheers!
I have now finished the second to last milestone in my current contract. I'd originally committed to a short enough time in case it wouldn't work out well, but I think this has worked quite well, so I'm proposing a new contract to follow as soon as the last milestone is done. I have had several requests about applying for an extension, so I think some people at least are keen to see that happening :)
This extension will be a pretty similar deal, but for a longer time period: a set amount of time spent working on monero. I will up the price a bit (both because it's been taking so much of my free time, and because the price of monero has gone down since then), and I will commit to more time in total, with the same average weekly time target. Even though I consistently managed at least equal to the target 10 hours a week so far, this may or may not continue.
I propose the following:
To be started as milestones get funded. There's a 12.92 leftover in the previous fund, it can probably be used to seed this one.
> better output selection (to avoid using related inputs if possible)
> Thanks
No, thank YOU!
The last milestone's reached!
Thanks
9th milestone done. Mostly spent integrating and testing Shen's rct. Also a new fee multiplier to act as transaction priority setting, and small fixes. I also started porting my old cold wallet signing patch to rct.
8th milestone reached in record time. All the time was spent on integrating Shen's ringct, as well as fixing issues with the wallet's spent status going out of sync with the daemon/blockchain. Ringct is now kinda working in monero, bugfixing is left.
Seventh milestone done. This was was pretty simple to report: - investigating parsing failures in some txes (someone else supplied a patch, which will be merged soon) - wallet access to the tx pool (ie, you can see unconfirmed txes to you) - ringct work (going through shen's reference code, fixing a few things, adding it to monero, and start plugging it in)
That RingCT work took the bulk of the time, and I expect it to be the same for the next 45 hours.
Another 45 hours done:
Fifth milestone done:
Another milestone done. This one took longer because I took a break after the 0.9 push.
Main things I've done on this milestone:
Third one done. Mostly a lot of fixes and tweaks to get to the release, but these things stand out:
Awesome work as always Moneromooo!
Second milestone done. Here are the highlights:
I notified fluffypony as I finished each, but I'm not badgering him as he's quite busy. I'm sure he'll get round to it soon.
