Proposal description
Forum thread: https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/pre-proposal-continuing-electrum-dash-development-and-support-in-2018.28852/
Overview:
Electrum is probably the most popular open-source SPV wallet for bitcoin. Last year I've picked up maintenance and support for Electrum-DASH. Since then, I've assembled a small team (of me and one other developer).
Scope and deliverables:
So far we've done:
Work already performed or in progress. Deliverables are released publicly as soon as they are ready.
Roadmap:
About me:
I'm active software developer for over 25 years and for last 15 years I develop mainly in Python. I'm in DASH since late 2014 (you can track my posts on the forum). I package electrum-dash for almost a year now.
Amount requested:
To execute this roadmap during 2018, I request 100DASH. As of Feb 11th, 30day SMA is 739.972$ per DASH, which makes team budget of $70297.34 and 5DASH towards proposal fee. This would allow us to operate for 6-8 months at current run-rate.
If DASH will appreciate during the year, as it was at 2017, I will submit next proposal only when these funds will dry up.

Overview:
Electrum is probably the most popular open-source SPV wallet for bitcoin. Last year I've picked up maintenance and support for Electrum-DASH. Since then, I've assembled a small team (of me and one other developer).
Scope and deliverables:
So far we've done:
- completely reworked and automated build and packaging process
- 2.6.4 version within this new process
- 2.9.3 version with follow on patch releases, up to 2.9.3.2
Work already performed or in progress. Deliverables are released publicly as soon as they are ready.
Roadmap:
- keep up with the upstream development (now at 3.0.5)
- improve our ability to support different OS and hardware wallets combinations
- package for more Linux distributions, starting with Ubuntu and Mint
- Tor support both for server and client
- research and implement Dash-specific features like Instant Send, Private Send and Masternode monitoring
- release android version
- integrate with OpenBazaar and other shopping API
- adjust priorities according community feedback

Voting YES.
Electrum is more easily manageable for noobs. Electrum once linked to my tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PI8pli2xTfU
I am totally annoyed that the Dash Electrum wallet is not featured on Dash.org It was embarrassing navigating Reddit posts in front of a finance guy in NZ I was introducing cryptocurrencies to, in order to locate a legit Dash Electrum wallet. Holy FhCK!
Soon dash-electrum would become available through dash.org/wallets too
Price seems reasonable / whatdoiknow.
Tor support? great!
Packaged for Linux Mint? YES
Roadmap looks great.
Voting yes.
this is an easy YES for me. We need a light wallet and can't be sending people to jaxx and the other crooks*. Also +1 for enhancing Linux and TOR Support.
Best Regards from Germany and good Luck

*(Although I think the other light wallets are somewhat good because of the multicurrency support, their fees are way to extreme. That's why I refer to them as crooks.)
Re Evolution: it's still unclear when it would be released and what exact functionality it would have. In any case, we need SPV wallet with hardware keys support until Evo arrives.
Alright, I suppose since Electrum does factor heavily in to some systems lots of people use (hardware wallets, etc), it seems like the work you're doing is still pretty important. You got it.
Also, what's the point of giving away 1000 Ledger Nano, if there won't be a software that supports it? :)
Roadmap:
keep up with the upstream development (now at 3.0.5)
improve our ability to support different OS and hardware wallets combinations
package for more Linux distributions, starting with Ubuntu and Mint
Tor support both for server and client
research and implement Dash-specific features like Instant Send, Private Send and Masternode monitoring
release android version
integrate with OpenBazaar and other shopping API
adjust priorities according to community feedback
Some managements:
I think Ubuntu, and Mint is a good choice, are the ones that are most commonly used.
I do think that it would be very interesting if it was possible to use InstandSend and Privetesend, which is something that identifies Dash.
Also, the possibility of having an Android version is essential.
I hope to see more suggestions from companions.
Thank you for you proposal
It would help, if you would elaborate..
If DASH will appreciate during the year, as it was at 2017, I will submit next proposal only when these funds will dry up."
