Proposal description
Discussion thread: https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/proposal-continuous-electrum-dash-development-and-support.14862/
Overview:
Electrum is probably the most popular open-source SPV wallet for bitcoin. There is a fork of Electrum for Dash, but it lacks active development and support. There were multiple tries to do it, but as of early March 2017, it still was unmaintained (see #electrum-dash on dashpay.slack.com for discussion).
After some discussion with Dash Core Team, @kot confirmed that Core Team is not going to develop this product and will focus on Evolution. This leaves Dash without supported open-source SPV wallet.
I submit this proposal to continue development and support of Electrum client and server. Also, to mitigate community risks for drawing funds from Treasury and not delivering, I plan regularly submit proposal only for the work actually done.
Scope and deliverables:
Note that this work already was performed.
I did:
Work already performed or in progress. Deliverables are released publicly as soon as they are ready.
Future roadmap:
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'm author of another active proposal, which would be conducted by my team.
My identity could be confirmed by @tungfa, @balu, and @dmitriybtc.
Amount requested:
I request $7000 for the work already completed + work to be completed before the payout date. As of May 16th the 30day SMA is $84.445 per DASH, so I request 83DASH + 5DASH proposal fee. Total 88DASH.

Scope and deliverables:
Note that this work already was performed.
I did:
- rewrote build scripts for electrum-dash for 3 maintained platforms:
- linux source
- windows installer
- OSX installer
- created release for current git version of electrum-dash (to appear on https://electrum-dash.org soon, hopefully)
- outlined roadmap for future development (see below)
Work already performed or in progress. Deliverables are released publicly as soon as they are ready.
Future roadmap:
- automate OSX releases (currently done manually) - work in progress.
- update electrum-dash client and server to the current bitcoin codebase
- research and implement the possibility of InstaSend and PrivateSend in the electrum-dash wallet
- fix masternode monitoring and operation plugin
- fix budget system plugin, integrate it with dashcentral
- release android version of electrum-dash wallet
- integrate with OpenBazaar and other shopping API

Thanks for doing that and yes, yes, yes!
Electrum is an open-source software.
BUT as fare as I see the project is not in active development stage.

I personally tried to use it with a KeepKey and it didn't work. It's look like TREZOR don't work ether.
The roadblock was the absence of release process: noone knew how to produce binaries and installers for supported platform.
Now this is solved and I'm proceeding to catch up with the recent bitcoin development
