Based upon the current acceptance and low rejection rate of the STEALTH worker proposal, I hereby express my opinion that it has been accepted by the blockchain and that a hardfork has been authorized that will do the following:
1. Create a fee backed asset that will receive 80% of all fees paid for confidential transactions
2. Create a management account controlled by the 5 largest holders of this FBA who will have authority to set the fee
3. Issue 100% of this asset to Onceuponatime for is funding and promotion of the feature. He is bringing $45,000 in CASH to the table to build this without having to sell BTS.
I have set milestones in terms of dollars and time. The milestones for this work will be as follows.
Milestone 1 - HARDFORK CODE COMPLETE
$5000 to implement the hardworking changes requested. These changes will be complete around January 15th, but the hard fork will not take effect until the end of February.
Milestone 2 - TRANSACTION SIGNING COMPLETE
$10,000 to implement the crypto in javascript and prove we can build and sign transactions. These changes will be complete by the end of January.
Milestone 3 - WALLET COMPLETE
$10,000 to implement the wallet code to track stealth balances and save it, this work should be done by Feb 14th.
Milestone 4 - GUI COMPLETE
$20,000 to implement the GUI changes necessary to expose this to the user. This should be done by the end of February. This milestone should show continuous progress with most of the GUI elements being put in place in January and then tested/integrated with being developed as part of Milestone 3.
All of these tasks will commence in parallel as Ben and I work on the hard fork, James works on the javascript, and Valentine works on the GUI.
While we are working on this Michael, SVK, and Xeroc will continue improving the API, GUI, and Docs for the DEX.
