Quick rundown of what happened in the last monthsMost of the features described in the last proposal have been released, the only major part we never had time to complete was the update to the MyDashWallet native Android and iOS wallets (especially due to the depreciating in Dash wallet and us having to look for other work to keep the lights on).

October 2018

• Native Android and iOS wallets released, most users still use the browser version of https://MyDashWallet.org, we got a ton of feedback from users (some users keep bugging us to update the native apps, we just didn't have the time to finish things up, we want to finish things with this proposal and also move away from a unified crappy interface for all platforms and instead provide a great experience in the browser and natively on Android and iOS with their own apps and UI)
• Swap DASH for BTC, BCH, ETH or LTC implemented in all bots (via !swap command) and improved the backend for more stability and automation: https://MyDashWallet.org/Tipping
• Preliminary Swap implementation and testing on the website, much more work required to get it nice and dashy (work continues with this proposal)
• Example Dash Webstore work started, again too much work to get done, we want to continue this road now that many things have been improved on the open source BtcPayServer project, here are our commits: https://github.com/DeltaEngine/btcpayserver/commits/master
• Created https://stresstest.mydashwallet.org and spend a lot of work on the backend testing different stresstest issues and running 10 Dash nodes in parallel for the stresstest planned in November 2018
• Translated https://MyDashWallet.org and the Android/iOS apps into 15 languages

November 2018

• Successful stress test with over 3 million Dash Transactions in a single day, this is still the world record for any bitcoin based blockchain as Bitcoin is limited to about 10-15% of that and Bitcoin Cash never went beyond their 2 million milestone after their split in November.
• https://MyDashWallet.org/Chat feature to chat directly on the Dash blockchain, we have already around 500 chat messages pushed to the blockchain and while this is just a fun little experiment, it continues to be used and enjoyed by the community.
• HD Wallet support integrated into https://MyDashWallet.org and updated dashcore-lib to latest version to stay in sync with future updates for 0.13 and beyond
• Experimented with spam prevention bots and automatic moderation on Discord (Valkery bot)

December 2018

• Tons of updates on the website, especially the help pages, Mixing site and commands listed on the Tipping site
• Additional features for bots, tipping, rain, messages deletion, moderation, etc
• Reintroduction of our Telegram bot, which has been enjoying the highest growth of users in the recent months
• Emoji and custom user currency support
• Spam and bot reply reduction, especially on Telegram and public hat channels on Discord

January 2019

• New api goes live: https://MyDashWallet.org/Api
• Account feature to tip any twitter, reddit, discord or email user, no account needed on either side: https://MyDashWallet.org/Tipping, e.g. tip Joel via https://mydashwallet.org/Account/@TheDesertLynx (displays QR code and his address to receive Dash from anywhere)
• Integration and support with several partners utilizing the MyDashWallet api to manage users, integrate mixing and create and send signed raw transactions
• Ongoing support and fixes on the website, qr scan improvements, address format fixes, better error messages on HD Wallet login when providing wrong or incomplete data
• Updated to dashcore-lib 0.13 for upcoming new features (special transactions, deterministic masternodes)
• Added cache policy for static files to not longer cache more than a week
• Most bot work went into improving Telegram support, shortening links, better userlist support for rain, Regex for Telegram text, UserCurrency fixes
• Account linking now completely automated and can be done by any user using !account link on both platforms
• Helped testing special transactions and other new features of Dash 0.13 on testnet (mainnet 0.13 went live, but those features are not yet available in any blocks)
• Updated BitcoinLib to support new Dash 0.13 features: https://github.com/DeltaEngine/BitcoinLib (has been merged upstream and is also available via nuget: https://www.nuget.org/packages/BitcoinLib/ )
• Updated NBitcoin to support new Dash 0.13 special transactions and fixed crashes on validating new 0.13 blocks containing extrapayload/special transactions: https://github.com/DeltaEngine/NBitcoin (also has been merged upstream and is available on nuget: https://www.nuget.org/packages/NBitcoin )
• Provided some updates to python libraries as well to support Dash 0.13 special transactions: https://github.com/DeltaEngine/pycoin, https://github.com/DeltaEngine/python-dashrpc and https://github.com/DeltaEngine/pybitcointools
• Also written a bug report found while testing and using data from dashevo/dashcore-lib, which has been fixed since: https://github.com/dashevo/dashcore-lib/issues/110

Some of this work was not planned and done outside of MyDashWallet proposals, we either got asked by community members, via support emails or by Dash Core to help testing, integrating and implementing these. We also helped other crypto projects and some of this work was paid, most of it not really and we ran on fumes the past few months and had to accept other non-crypto work as well to keep the lights on. We will continue working on MyDashWallet, bots and other projects, regardless on if this proposal passes or not. However this proposal will keep us more focused on MyDashWallet work and justify putting our developers and time more focused on the planned features (otherwise things might take longer or be dropped).
Our bot developer is spending a few days every week on improving commands, helping people and interacting with the community (apart from me doing the same, especially on Discord). We are doing this work currently for free in addition to supporting the MyDashWallet websites, services, api and bots on Discord, Reddit, Telegram and Twitter.
With this proposal we want to finish up some features we have planned for a long while. We spent a lot of time and work on those already:

• Website for Swap Dash to BTC, BCH, ETH or LTC, which is already implemented in the bot. Now that Shapeshift is requiring users to register this service might be a nice addition to Dash users, our fees are much lower and we have an amazingly fast service that can convert coins in seconds (especially due to InstantSend and 0conf on supported coins like Dash and Bch).
• Example Dash Webstore via BtcPayServer, we started work here, but never had the time to finish this: We will sell something like Dash T-Shirts on that store with just the cost the supplier/printer is requesting.
• Email notifications on receiving tips (will utilize the same as the new account feature on the website, most of the work is already done here), dash or chat messages. Some users showed us some wallets that have a nice notification feature on incoming transactions, some apps call this Sales Tracker (to be used by stores selling stuff and getting a notification once the user has actually paid), but this is also useful for many other purposes and fits well into the tipping, chatting and using MyDashWallet in general. With this feature any dash address can be monitored, not just own.
• Native Android and iOS wallet updates, focus on simplicity and just MyDashWallet features, hd wallets, importing, chat and bot support as the other available Android and iOS wallets already cover what most users need, but we might be able to provide some nice extra features to users. With HD Wallets users can also share their access across different apps and needs, e.g. use MyDashWallet native app or website to PrivateSend and the normal Android app for normal day-to-day transactions

Plus all these new things, partially already in development:

• Ongoing support for bots, new commands and features as asked by the community
• History command to see all you have done (tips send, received, rains, etc.)
• Integration into other bots (reacting to emojis/reactions, e.g. on translations work or news articles, allowing users to tip with a single click on an existing emoji)
• Continued MyDashWallet website development
• Special Transaction support, we want to provide some examples once 0.13 new special transactions features go live (even if it is just for show like listing deterministic masternodes)
• InstantSend explorer support, which is already there in the backend, but not visible on the frontend, any InstantSend transaction should immediately get its 6 confirmations and also be shown in a special color/box on our insight explorer: https://mydashwallet.org:3001 (and those changes will be merged upstream with https://insight.dash.org )
• Decentralized Mixing via Deterministic Masternodes probably around 0.14 going live or later when possible and feasible, this will replace PrivateSend transactions on MyDashWallet and our Mixing services. Based on DIP4 https://github.com/dashpay/dips/blob/master/dip-0004.md we will try to grab a list of masternodes and send out privatesend commands, might be a bit early, but future work might enable all needed parts "A verifiable and correct masternode list is foundational to many Dash features, including verification of an InstantSend transaction, mixing in PrivateSend and many features of Evolution.", its more of a long term goal to research and implement somewhere later in 2019
• Planning of new stress test around 0.14 release, we think it is important to test Dash again with all the improvements done in 0.13 and 0.14, plus miners having new code that fixes many of the issues we experienced while exploring the limits of the Dash blockchain in 2018.
• Once available we also want to start working on dapis and replace all parts of https://MyDashWallet.org and the bots that make sense into Dash decentralized apis once available
• Integration of DashPay usernames once available

Cost

• $3400 per month (3000 euro in usd) for the next 4 months + 5 proposal fee reimbursement
• This is mostly to cover the cost of our bot developer and ongoing support
• Should Dash not depreciate like in our past 3 MyDashWallet proposals and instead appreciate in value once again we will extend support and development till the end of 2019 :)
