Blockies - GMC Payment Verification Bot
Who is the proposed retrospective award recipient?
ramana
What specific project or work is the retrospective award in recognition of? Please detail what the project or work entailed and the duration over which it took place.
After conversations and requests from members of the GMC, ramana built the blockies bot that the GMC can use to verify payment addresses when signing transactions. He made a few iterations to the bot based on additional requests from the GMC. You can read the conversation here.
The amount of payment addresses to verify averaged around 5~6 a year ago, recently the GMC has had to verify 20+ addresses per month. Ideally the bot will reduce verification times while adding an extra layer of verification security.
Are the subjects of this award entirely open source (MIT, GPL, Apache, CC BY license or similar)? If not, which parts will not be, why, and under what license will they be published?
I have forked the project into the GMC repo.
