kayabaNerve submits CCS proposal to 'develop, prove, review, and audit' Full-Chain Membership Proofs

[..] Development of the proofs and protocols will be done by myself, kayabaNerve [..] Integration into Monero will be handled externally to this CCS, with jberman stating their intent to submit their own CCS.

Proposed funding: 2920 XMR (920:Dev + 2000:Research).

ETA: TBD.
