FPF source evidence

Milestone and disbursement ledger

Read-only milestone and disbursement fields normalized from the FPF grants ledger.

These ledger rows are FPF source evidence. They do not by themselves prove that a progress update was accepted, a payment request was approved, or an on-chain settlement was completed. Named rows can also describe reimbursements, returned funds, or other ledger adjustments.

No normalized FPF milestone or disbursement rows are linked to this application yet. The application and its other source evidence remain available below.

Zcash RPC Request Builder

Unanimous rejection.

This proposal aims to create an open source web application that simplifies interacting with Zcash RPC nodes by providing a user friendly interface with real-time input validation, multiple format, request, previews and response, and visualization. The tool will support all Zcash RPC methods and offer deployment options for local environments and public posting, which helps developers test and debug RPC requests more easily. They’re asking for $15,000 which covers two months of full-time development to build, deploy and document the tool. Members were asked to provide their feedback and vote on this grant request. Artkor: I thank the requestor for this proposal but right now I haven’t seen much demand for what is being proposed. I hope the requestor will keep an eye out for future requests. I reject. Brian: I mostly agree with Artkor. I don’t think that there’s a large need for this at this point in time and I might feel differently if it was oriented towards Zebra, or something that the community is actually excited about. I reject. Gguy: Conrado posted a link about the Zebra book and the open Open API specification. That documentation shows that we kind of do have a little bit of tooling like this already. I can’t imagine this will help increase the user base or usefulness of existing tools. I’d prefer we focus on improving the existing documentation and tooling. I’m not interested in funding this proposal in its current form. ZeroDartz: I also don’t see much point because something similar is already available for Zebra. I reject as well. Jason: I’ll vote to reject this as well for the reasons that many of you highlighted. This proposal has been unanimously rejected.
