[Monero Community Crowdfunding Raises 45 XMR to Support Core Developer] According to Jinse Finance, on October 26th, developer jpk68's three-month full-time development proposal on the Monero Community Crowdfunding System (CCS) has received 31.04 XMR from 42 backers, equivalent to approximately 69% of the target amount, leaving a shortfall of 13.96 XMR. The proposal requests 45 XMR, corresponding to 40 hours per week for three months of core code development work. jpk68 publicly requested support on October 23rd, which was subsequently reposted by the official Monero X account. Planned work includes: adding Tor Control protocol support to the Monero core daemon monerod, enabling automatic configuration of the Tor service and reducing manual setup; evaluating the integration of the existing I2P SAM implementation into the core wallet code to support connections via remote nodes; continuing to improve the graphical wallet (GUI); testing anonymous networks; reviewing code; and fixing bugs. jpk68's previous contributions included migrating the Monero GUI to Qt6 and introducing I2P support for P2Pool. In the first eight months, he made approximately 50 merge pull requests. Monero has no foundation treasury; development funding primarily relies on voluntary donations from CCS.
