Short Summary

Tox is a peer to peer, distributed, free as in freedom, open source, encrypted skype replacement. Toxcore is the main library or the core that all Tox clients use.

I (irungentoo) am the main developer of Toxcore and I am raising 5000 USD to pay myself to work full time on Toxcore for at least 1 month which will give it the boost in development that it needs.

The money raised will go directly to me (irungentoo).

What You Get

You get 1 month of full time toxcore development work. Things I want to do/finish include (in order: first is highest priority):

• A full protocol specification and documentation on how Toxcore works that doesn't suck.
• Debug and properly fix the issues people have (File transfers, A/V chats, etc...).
• Finish any unfinished Toxcore related projects.
• Make the network harder to attack.
  

The Impact

1 month+ of of full time development effort will bring Toxcore closer to being complete.

Risks & Challenges

There aren't many risks, all the money from this campaign will go directly to me. There's always these risks but I don't think they will happen:

• I might get hit by a bus and die (very unlikely)
• My computer might explode killing me (unlikely though it is old and the PSU is one of those shady cheap ones)

Joking aside you will be able to see and confirm that I'm doing the work by looking at my github profile.
