Now a more verbose update:

As a reminder, this last milestone covers 40 billable hours, i don't keep track of the time that i spend on kovri, but i can easily say with a very high degree of confidence that i am way above that number! The work that i want to submit for this last milestone has been completed a while ago. It's basically #684, #709 and the not yet submitted commits around #140.Except that there is a bug somewhere with the current code and it's always a nightmare to test/debug anything related to the routing.Repeatedly spending more time testing than coding is simply not fun for me!That's why i chose to put on hold the "core system" devs and started to focus on how i could reduce my debug/testing time, hence the work around monitoring.

So for the full story, anonimal advised me to request the payout if the work is already done. But, IRL i have a new project since a few weeks ago that will be very time consuming for the next couple of months (and debugging kovri core stuffs requires, at least for me, a lot of contiguous time), so during this period i won't be very active and i don't want it to look like i stopped working after i received the last payout, so i prefer to simply not request it until i have fully tested/debugged the pending commits!

Best regards,

PS1: Big/Special thanks to anonimal without whom all this wouldn't have been possible/enjoyable

PS2: if the community is not ok with this, then i'm ok with simply not requesting it at all ;)
