Proposal description
Update2: The requested amount is to finance the development until the end of 2018, given the average exchange rate will hold. See below for the Amount requested for a more detailed explanation.
Update: forum thread https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/proposal-dash-electrum-development-and-support-q2-2018.37855/
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 two other developers). This is third proposal: first one was funded year ago and second one - Feb this year.
Scope and deliverables:
Since last proposal, we've done:
Execution and Schedule:
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 more a year now.
Amount requested:
In Feb 2018 I've requested 100DASH at ~740$ per DASH with the expectation that this would allow us to run 6-8 month. Unfortunately, since then DASH exchange rate dropped, so we've used the funds much faster than expected.
As of May 14th 30day SMA is 450.896$ per DASH. Our burn rate right now is about $10k per month. To execute this roadmap I request 200DASH (~$90K) which would allow us to run until the end of the year, at current exchange rate.
Since you've requested, we're splitting the amount in two installments: two 100DASH payments, one on Jun 3rd and the next on Jul 2nd.
If DASH will appreciate during the course of this proposal, we will use the remaining funds to extend the project duration. If DASH will depreciate, we will submit another proposal as the funds would dry up.

Execution and Schedule:
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 3.1.3)
- release android version
- Tor support both for server and client

After Evolution is released, I cant see a reason for Electrum
Old school crypto people use Electrum, and unless they plan on buying enough additional Dash to offset the cost of this proposal (~$70,000), it's nonsense to fund this.
Can anyone give me a reason to believe that Electrum development will lead old school crypto people to purchase significantly more Dash than they would have otherwise? Because I must be missing something.
Yet, from support requests we receive, I see that it _is_ widely used: at least 1 server-side support request per 2 client-side.
