This is a proposal to accelerate development of Married Wallets. We believe that Multi-Sig Security is a must-have standard for all kinds of wallets. It protects consumers and removes risks from companies.
We are three startups recently selected for the
PnP Bitcoin accelerator. All of our companies have a requirement for Multi-Sig support with HD Bitcoin wallets. We believe that this is a must-have standard for all kinds of wallets. It protects consumers and removes risks from companies. We have decided to join forces and push the development of this technology in a fashion that is beneficial to the entire Bitcoin ecosystem.
One of our initiatives to solve this problem this is the issuance of bounties: Solve the issue, get paid!
We need help with spreading this message and increasing the size of the bounty, making it more attractive.
We have deposited
5 BTC here:

The funds in this address will be payed out for the amount stated on each issue. If we receive more donations to this address, we will create additional tasks and assign the funds and bounties to them.
As soon as technically feasible, we will implement a Multi-Sig voting pool to distribute the bounties.
WHAT WE NEEDWe have researched implementations that suit our requirements for running mobile android wallets. We consider bitcoinj the most advanced and independent community driven implementation for mobile and want to focus our efforts on it. We are looking for like-minded developers with a good understanding of Bitcoin and it's underlying cryptography. The goal is the implementation of "married wallets" as described in this design document by Mike Hearn:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/bitcoinj/Uxl-z40OLuQ/e2m4mEWR6gMJHOW TO CLAIM BOUNTIESTo claim bounties you will need solid Java skills.
Start working on a bounty by adding a comment on any issues in in this Github project, along with your bitcoin address and how long you need to finish it. This way, bounties can be claimed on a first-come first-served manner, but others may attempt it if the original claimer cannot finish it in a reasonable time. You will need to clone the original
bitcoinj repository, implement the requirements referenced in the chosen issue. Having followed the
coding conventions and provided
unit tests you then create a
pull request and have it reviewed by the repository owner. Once the pull request is accepted into the upstream repository we will pay out the bounty.
Here is a quick link to the issues:
