Just made a few changes to the proposal and I consider it now a final draft.
Change log:
Renamed title to v5 April 2016
Removed optional material theme text from proposal.
Added release 1E which transitions from NBT to USNBT and has approach for change in Shapeshift.io api.
This results in an increase of the duration to 7 weeks (was 6) and total cost increase to 16,350 (was 15,350).
More details in the proposal.
As I have not seen any comments on the optional release for the Material theme I decided to leave it out in the final draft.
The intention is to release it for voting in the next few days, so please let me know if you still have some feedback or comments to improve it or just to support it.
There is no hourly rate. It is a negotiated fixed price proposal.
I’m currently finalising the contract with Matthew and make some final adjustments and submit it for voting if there are no other comments.
Impeding development saves some bucks, but prevents useful tools from being created.
I’d rather see an NSR sale than saving money here.
The liquidity operation costs a lot of money and there’s a lot of potential for saving, but that road isn’t followed seriously.
Why make cuts here instead?
This has the potential to increase adoption.
Also note that the grant amount is split into multiple payments: 4,000 upfront, 8,000 after the first release (including upfront payment for the second release) which could be a couple of months afterwards, and 3,650 after the second release. The full amount wont be put on the market all at once. Details are in the proposal text: https://daology.org/proposals/b90d9bcdbaee28337bc017e605e21f4b40109c9d
NuDroid doesn’t download the chain, just the headers. After upgrade even the headers won’t be loaded
Not sure if I understand the problem. There is by default only one address to receive funds on. There is no straightforward way to add other addresses. Moving the funds and creating a new wallet by deleting and redownloading the App is probably the easiest way. Don’t forget to make another backup!
Please view the bottom of “OVERVIEW RELEASES, TIME AND COST” where it says “Proposed contractual payment schedule is as follows”. This shows the planned payments. The 16,000 is given to Cybnate as the custodian and then 15,650 is paid to myself in accordance to this release and payment schedule.
You can receive funds without full synchronisation, though you will have to wait for the synchronisation before your transaction shows as confirmed and you can spend the funds.
