Hello all,

It's me again, asking for donations to continue working on monero. For reference, I just posted this month's highlights:

mark-spent-outputs now finds more known spent outputs

plenty of speedups

fix fast sync when a tx is already in the pool

fix optimized tx bulletproofs for ledger

more work on pruning (plus pruning known spent amount data)

misc fixes for bigendian (doesn't sync yet)

more unit tests

out of sync difficulty investigation

p2p tx message padding

save ring members after selection (privacy gain)

new non destructive blockchain rescan

code review

many smaller fixes and improvements

I'm planning to continue working full time on monero. My main goals will be pruning (almost ready now, a branch is available for sync testing) and getting the next release ready and stable (planning early for january this time). Donations are very much appreciated. Using the current price of 59.09, at the notional $30+0.2 rate, the next three months' target is 368 monero. Thank you again.
