    ‘Add Monero to TxStreet’ is to add Monero to the live blockchain transaction visualizer ‘txstreet.com’. This would help Monero by giving it more visibility (maybe to new audiences).

True! Haven’t noticed before that the ‘Monero street complete and live’ milestone was already completed. It appears as ‘Work in Progress’ because of the in progress advertising milestones:

1.- The community

2.- “RandomX Audits” for 118,000 USD.

3.- 5062.38 XMR = 1,349,107.4 USD aprox.

4.- " v1docq47 - video creation and translations into russian (february - july 2021)"
This man works with his wife translating Monero content to Russian, this can positively impact Monero since this can increase adoption in countries where it is not widely used. There are also other projects working in similar things but in other languages, which is great!

    Monero Atomic Swaps Research Funding
    Interesting idea to swap XMR and BTC, the author was requesting modest funding to solve an impediment due to a ZKP requirement, the bitcoin ‘OP_AND’ code which prevented implementation of the protocol. So he is proposing an update to remove hash preimage ZKP requirement and make the protocol draft possibly implementable.

You just have to get how many XMR is in the Funding and multiply by the market price of the coin. :slight_smile:

  1. The Monero community discusses the pros and cons of the proposal, offers feedback
    and critique, followed by the Core Team determining that the community has reached
    loose consensus; decides when a project moves from ‘Ideas’ to ‘Funding Required’.
  2. The ‘Completed Task’ with the highest budget was ‘RandomX Audits’ with 1400 XMR. The
    USD value at the time was around $118,000 and there were 4 different audit teams
    contributing, one of which was already funded by Arweave.org.
  3. The current USD value of all ‘Work in Progress’ is 5062.38 XMR X $203.19 =
    $1,028,624.99.
  4. One project from ‘Work in Progress’ is ‘Continued Feather Wallet development (3 months)’
    The goal for this proposal is to get Feather out of Beta and release the 1.0 version.
    Working on: Fix bugs and issues as they arise, Further improve the UI/UX (layout,
    actionable error messages, etc), Improve documentation and user guides, etc. This project
    supports the Monero ecosystem in a number of ways including extending hardware wallet
    support to include Trezor devices.

    The ‘RandomX Audits’ proposal. It was 118,000 USD and there were 40 contributors.

    I picked “v1docq47 - video creation and translations into russian (february - july 2021)”. The user v1docq47 is translating things related to Monero from English into Russian. He is working full time on newletters, youtube channels, and other things. He provides a list of planned work for the next 6 months. He is asking to be paid $12 an hour for full time work. Asking for 54 XMR for 6 months. He supports the Monero ecosystem by reaching new cultures and new languages and spreading adoption.

  2. The RandomX Audits proposal with a budget of 1400 XMR. $122,654 was the value at $87.61 an XMR. There were 40 contributors.
  3. Approximately 3100 XMR or approximately $687,873.53 as of right now.
  4. The Monero Moon newsletter is a newsletter for Monero written on Medium by John Foss. It can be very, very beneficial to the Monero ecosystem by helping educate people on the project.

The community.

Random X Audit, 40 contributors, 1400 XMR = $118,000

v1docq47 - video creation and translations into russian (february - july 2021): promoting through Youtube Monero in Russian. This is especially important for countries where their money isn’t as liquid as other countries. Once more fiats are converted to Monero, its value will rise.

  1. After the Core Team has determined that the community has reached loose consensus, the MR is merged, and funding begins.

  2. The highest budged has been risen by The Proposal to add Monero as a payment option on the Tesla website, with 890 XMR as per USD app. value of $ 135.662 (9th February 2021) & 18 contributors.

  3. The current USD value of all 'Work in Progress’ is $ 178.516 (753,71 XMR).

  4. 'Work in Progress’: xmrSale Payment Processor Development, from 10th August 2021:

  • is a lightweight Monero payment processor that connects to your own Monero node, striving to be modular and lightweight
  • has an accessible API written in python that talks to your own Monero node,
  • uses RPC to generate new addresses,
  • monitors payment success with your own copy of the Monero blockchain.
  • will make it easy to embed Monero donation buttons into your website with an HTML iframe tag, accepting donations from your supporters and community.
  • through an xmrSale Woocommerce plugin, they are going to allow anyone to self-host their own Monero accepting online store. Monero has been thriving in the “host your own tools” niche of the internet, and self-custody payments are crucial in this mission. Existing Monero eccommerce processors are custodial, sacrificing the privacy of you and your customers.
  • demo of xmrSale here: https://try.xmrsale.org/
  • is close to achieving the first milestone.in September: Functioning Monero payment processor with node connection and docker image & Text tutorial docs and website

They will take community desire very seriously to guide this project, so if there is something you want but don’t see there let them know. This proposal will expire 1 March, 2022.

A huge Project with 141 Contributors and a funding of 2727 XMR
The Project is split into 16 Milestones and the estimated Duration is 7 months.
It was supposed to be completed by Q2 2021
The Goal is to build a collection of Programs (Swap Clients, swap daemon, chain-syncers)
With an open source atomic swap monero would be accessible to anyone with BTC and by that unbannable. This would strenghten Monero tremendously

  4. The main innovation of Seraphis (and Lelantus-Spark, a very similar protocol developed independently) is using only simple commitments-to-zero for showing that a transaction input (an output being spent) exists in the ledger. This allows proofs about key images to be independent of membership proofs, which means one-time addresses and key images can be creatively designed. In particular, it is possible to avoid one of the main drawbacks of Triptych, namely a key image construction that makes multisig much more complicated
