Proposal description
Overview:
Electrum is probably the most popular open-source SPV wallet for bitcoin. Early 2017 I've picked up maintenance and support for DASH Electrum. Since then, I've assembled a small team of three developers. This is a proposal to fund the continuing development and support for Dash Electrum.
Note: continuing funding now is critical, since it may influence release of changes, required to support Dash Core 0.13.
Scope and deliverables:
Since last proposal, we've
Work already performed or in progress. Deliverables are released publicly as soon as they are ready.
Roadmap:
We are positioning Dash Electrum as the default front-end for dash ecosystem, with focus on privacy by default.
Our current roadmap is the following:
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 dash electrum for more a year now.
Amount requested:
This time we will request 3-month funding that would cover our burn rate + deficit + at current exchange rate which is $71.8USD/Dash at the moment of this post.
Budget calculation:
To provide transparency, funds would be directed to a separate wallet, as with previous proposal.
In case of DASH appreciation, any leftover funds would be spent to extend the duration of the project. In case of DASH depreciation, we will go into a deficit mode again and will submit a new proposal after the end of this 3month period.
Once again, continuing funding now is critical, since it may influence release of changes, required to support Dash Core 0.13.

Users who only use the Trezor web wallet for instance or a mobile wallet are compromising their privacy.

I will continue to recommend Dash Electrum to Dash.red users. I would love to see this available in 32 bit for people with old computers, especially in Venezuela. You sent me the 32 bit installer, it works on my laptop. I want to see the 32 bit version supported and linked on https://www.dash.org/es/wallets/ Will that be possible?
First, only two servers show up in the "choose from peers" list. Second, no matter what privkey or addy I set it up with, it seems to go on synchronizing forever.
Sync is an issue sometimes. Can you provide more details on forum, to help us trace the issue? Usually reconnecting to a different server helps, though.
Also I'd ask for your server list, since I have many more and the wallet usually keeps connection to 3 or 4.
That's as much statistics as we can get, since we explicitly do _not_ track any activity with or within the wallet.
