WARNING: Very image heavy thread.
Overview
About 6 months ago the community agreed to spend some time and money funding the design of a new UX and the assets for a subsequent GUI. Those assets are completed and ready for implementation. Madmaxpayne has been paid for their work. As detailed in the links above, there are still funds owed to them once the implementation of the assets is complete; Max agreed to stick around and help anyone implementing the assets as minor tweaks to assets are a common occurrence in this type of thing.
We have been gathering a bounty for the task of building this new GUI from the assets provided. The intent of this bounty is to find someone with the necessary skills who also wants to invest themselves in the future development of the Gridcoin protocol, network, and community. To achieve this goal we have marked the bounty in GRC only. So far we have the following commitments from community members:
Jim - 25,000 GRC
Gunde - 25,000 GRC
Dc7d - 25,000 GRC
sodom89 - 20,000 GRC
An0n - 15,000 GRC
ShmoogleOsukami - 10,000 GRC
H202 - 10,000 GRC
philipswift - 10,000 GRC
Barton26 - 5,000 GRC
Dennis - 5000 GRC
Jringo - 1,000 GRC
Total - 151,000 GRC
These individuals will hold their own bounties until they are satisfied with the GUI implementation.
If you would like to pledge your own GRC to this task post the amount pledged on the Github thread. If you do not have a Github account and still wish to pledge reach out to jringo on discord or on slack and he will update the thread on Github.
You can continue to pledge to the bounty until the bounty is claimed.
PROPOSAL
This proposal requests a funds match from the foundation up to 250,000 GRC. These funds would be reserved and held by the foundation until the new GUI is implemented. The new GUI should use the UX and assets designed by Madmaxpayne. The completed assets are linked at the top of this document and directly below. Madmaxpayne can be reached on slack.
How The Fund Match Works
This fund match would operate much like other fund matches. There are three scenarios:
- Under 250,000 GRC is pledged by the community
- Exactly 250,000 GRC is pledged by the community
- Over 250,000 GRC is pledged by the community
1 - Under: If 50,000 GRC is the total pledged by the community, for example, the foundation would pledge another 50,000 GRC. This would bring the total bounty to 100,000 GRC.
2 - Exact: If 250,000 GRC is the total pledged by the community, the foundation would pledge another 250,000 GRC bringing the total bounty to 500,000 GRC.
3 - Over: If 300,000 GRC is the total pledged by the community, for example, the foundation would pledge another 250,000 GRC bringing the total bounty to 550,000 GRC.
The amount pledged by the foundation will match the bounty at the time the bounty is claimed. No more than 250,000 GRC will be pledged by the foundation if this proposal is approved.
Requirements for Claiming Bounty
- Complete and Functional GUI using the assets provided by Madmaxpayne
- Completion signed off by jringo, ravon, barton26, madmaxpayne, NeuralMiner, and Jim Owens.
Questions? Comments? Concerns?
The Github thread is the main discussion thread as it is saved nice and cozy next to other development discussions.
However if you have any questions, comments, or concerns you can post them on any thread and I will do my best to cross-post major content. You can also join us on slack or discord and someone will be sure to have an answer or someone will connect you with someone who does. If you want to join slack (where most development takes place) ask for an invite.
Poll
Duration: 2 weeks [14 Days]

Validation:
60% or more AVW participation
As we are still experimenting with and observing the behavior of AVW, a TVW of 15% will also validate the poll
Just pledged 10,000 GRC in the GitHub thread :)
Seems good to me. :)
