moneromooo | 6 years ago

We're a month from the end of the three month schedule again, and I'm up for three more months of monero coding.

My reports for the current period can be found at https://forum.getmonero.org/6/ideas/90280/more-mooo-monero-coding-july-september

I expect I'll probably be working on things like pruning, RPC payment, blackball improvements, and whatever protocol improvements sarang/surae come up with.

With the Monero exchange rate at ~ $115 $105 $120 $114 $117 $108 $112 $107 $110 $119, and a target rate of $30 + 0.2 monero an hour, three months end up giving a donations target of 240 253 234 241 237 248 243 250 246 235 monero.

Thank you again for your donations to help me make Monero ever better :)

Another month, here's the highlight of what I've done:

  • wallet tracking of owned outputs usage
  • fix race between several mining threads and block addition
  • fix for using the wallet on a NFS filesystem
  • better performance timers
  • less copies in network code
  • disable long payment ids unless a wallet option is used
  • include a short payment id on txes where none is otherwise used
  • remove the ability to transfer to a standard address plus detached short payment id
  • monero-blockchain-ancestry caching improvements, and make it handle single outputs
  • prevent the wallet from displaying text from the daemon
  • more work on pruning (ready to merge now)
  • more work on multiuser transactions
  • many speedups
  • misc minor fixes and improvements
  • misc code review

i highly recommend revoking moneromooos commit access and not funding him, so far he is responsible for two critical bugs inside Monero.

Sure, if no code is ever develop, no bug will appear... I suggest we hire more full time devs instead, so critical bugs responsibility will not always be on the same guy.

You're missing the point. If you're waiting for someone who never has bugs, you'll only get people who never do anything. Relying on one person only goes so far, and everyone (except maybe Donald Knuth) will make mistakes at some point. But all is not lost! You can help make Monero better by getting off your backside and start reviewing. You don't have to pick a large chunk of code either. You can start by reviewing a small function, a set of them, etc. If you have questions about the code, we're on #monero-dev on Freenode. If you select part of a new PR, post your doubts on the PR itself. This is how we do, and this is how we build, but it's a group effort, and the more people get it, the better Monero will be. Welcome :)

Thank you everyone, it's not without bumps in the road, but persevere we will.
