Monero Community Raises 45 XMR to Fund Core Developer Work

[Monero Community Crowdfunding: 45 XMR to Fund Core Developer] Gold Finance reported that on October 26, a proposal submitted by developer jpk68 for three months of full-time development on the Monero Community Crowdfunding System (CCS) had received 31.04 XMR from 42 contributors, approximately 69% of the target amount, with 13.96 XMR still needed. The proposal requests 45 XMR to fund 40 hours per week of core code development over three months. jpk68 publicly requested support on October 23, and the official Monero X account subsequently shared the request. Planned work includes: adding Tor Control protocol support to the Monero core daemon (monerod) to enable automatic onion service configuration and reduce manual setup; evaluating integration of the existing I2P SAM implementation into the core wallet code to support connections via remote nodes; and continuing improvements to the graphical wallet (GUI), testing anonymous networks, reviewing code, and fixing bugs. jpk68’s previous contributions include migrating the Monero GUI to Qt6 and introducing I2P support to P2Pool, with approximately 50 merged pull requests over the past eight months. Monero has no foundation treasury; development funding relies primarily on voluntary donations through the CCS.
