Summary

Specify the total amount of BSQ you are requesting:

• BSQ requested:
  BSQ 6750.00

Contributions delivered

Provide links to contributions you have delivered, the amount of BSQ you are requesting for each, and any comments that will help stakeholders understand its value.

The delivery is wrapped as Proposal 110 which combines the following:

• proposal Add Monero wallet features to Bisq proposals#51
• issue Propose how to integrate Monero wallet into Bisq bisq#1863
• proposal Integrate transaction proof verification for Monero proposals#86
• proposal Automate altcoin trading proposals#87

This delivery is now patterned as an incubation project as proposed in Proposal 122 to circumvent the issue of a lengthy code review.

The Monero implementation proposals have been a sore point for a long time as Monero trading as a category has the highest trade volume. It is therefore imperative to deliver on proposals (requests) from the group who may feel alienated despite being the major users and therefore contributors in terms of activity. This proposal is an effort to satisfy the Monero traders and not disenfranchise (by ignoring their requests) the majority of Bisq users who happen to trade Monero.

The current delivery is in the Monero Integration Incubation Repository

While the delivery is not in the main branch of Bisq, it is to all intents and purposes shipped code in the same sense as an alpha, beta or variant version of a software.

Not to make this a full blown campaign manifesto, but I believe it is necessary that the incubator projects are incentivized especially in the inception stage as it currently is (and not simply from the selfish point of view but to provide) for a vibrant incubator ecosystem to develop; without which the bureaucracy which it intends to eliminate will creep in and render the process ineffective.

The following is a breakdown spread across the total estimated cost so far:

1. Proposal - value add (> 90% of trading volume in XMR) - BSQ 950.00
2. Pluggable Architectural & UI design - BSQ 1150.00
3. Basic XMR Wallet - BSQ 4650.00
   1. Settings allowing wallet function to be turned off/on. - BSQ 150.00
   2. Settings parameters for connection to monero-wallet-rpc. - BSQ 300.00
   1. Viewing balance (total and unlocked). - BSQ 900.00
   2. Sending XMR. - BSQ 950.00
   3. Viewing XMR Primary address to receive XMR. - BSQ 850
   4. Viewing and searching transactions. - BSQ 850.00
   5. Transaction/payment proof/verification. - BSQ 650.00

Total: BSQ 6750.00

None of these PRs are merged in master. I know incubator is new so I'll give it a pass for this month but I think we need a better way to handle the incubator compensation. I think that was mentioned elsewhere as well.

I appreciate the gesture. Yes, @m52go made some suggestions here: Proposal by @m52go. I think this should be formalized as a proposal.

Regards.

As none of these PRs got merged into master and we haven't came to a final decision how the incubation project should be compensated I voted against this compensation request. I don't mean that incubation projects shouldn't be compensated at all, but I think we need to discuss this first to set the right incentives for the future.
