binarybaron and einliterflasche submit CCS proposal to 'transform' XMR-BTC atomic swaps ecosystem into 'mature marketplace'

binarybaron¹ and einliterflashche² have submitted a CCS proposal³ looking to continue XMR-BTC atomic swaps⁴ development and help transform the ecosystem from a prototype into a mature marketplace:

We are confident that given a few months time to fully dedicate to the project, we can transform the ecosystem from more of a proof of concept into a mature marketplace. We are asking the community for funding in order to be able to focus our efforts on improving the atomic swaps ecosystem.

Total funding: 672 XMR.

ETA: 6 months.

Tasks overview

• continue to maintain both the GUI and the underlying CLI
• CLI: focus will be to improve overall reliability
• GUI: make it more accessible to non technical users
• GUI: release an Android (and possibly iOS) version
• continue to manage GUI webpage and docs, public registry of swap providers [..]

binarybaron and einliterflashche developed unstoppableswap-gui⁵, which facilitated more than 3,000 mainnet swaps in 2023, and are the current⁶ maintainers of the xmr-btc-swap project.
