Hi @will-corcoran - thanks for pinging!

We've been hard at work on this in July and August, I'm traveling today until Sunday but I'll make a comprehensive overview of our progress (including open sourcing the repo of our work we already did) early next week, apologies for the delay on this.

We regularly deploy progress to https://www.stacking-tracker.com/ fyi (note: this is not designed yet and just raw data, of which some might be incorrect)

[philiphacks]

Here's an update on the user stories/deliverables:

The next deliverable we will be working on is 4 and 6 (ETA end of September). After that we will take some time to get everything ready for production and design it to be more user friendly (ETA end of October). In parallel, we can build a TG bot (ETA end of October).

There are no blockers. A production-ready version of the Stacking Tracker, which could eventually be hosted on stacking.club too, will be available around the end of October.

I hope that helps! I'll drop a link to the repo too, just checking if we're all good to open source it (e.g. no sensitive data is in it)

Hi @philiphacks

We're exploring allocating our remaining 2024 grants budget and considering follow-up funding for current Critical Bounty recipients. If you have ideas to enhance your previously awarded work, we'd like to hear from you.

Next Steps:

1. If you're interested in follow-up funding, please let us know by the end of this week.
2. You can either:

• Post your proposal as a comment on this issue (preferred for final submissions)
• Email me your initial thoughts if you're still developing your idea or prefer privacy

Proposal Details:

• Please include:
  • Additional scope or enhancements
  • Associated costs
  • Justification for how a follow-up grant could significantly boost the ROI of the initial grant

We look forward to your ideas!

Best,
Will

[philiphacks]

@will-corcoran hey will, thanks for reaching out!

I think at this time we won't need additional funding for this. We are progressing really well and I think the current grant allocation works to launch something great and useful.

We will continue to maintain this stacking tracker internally within Stacking DAO as well, but perhaps if we see a clear need for a grant, we might apply for an additional one in the future (but not this year)

[will-corcoran]

Hey @philiphacks just wanted to reach out and see how things are going? Have you completed all of your milestones? Can you please provide an update? Thanks!

[philiphacks]

@will-corcoran yes, we have finished up the logic in October and have spent the last 3 weeks on a redesign (complete UI overhaul) to make it look pretty (& better UX) for launch in 2 weeks.

Let's hop on a call for a demo, and then I'll drop a longer overview of what was built here too!

Nice work!

My feature requests :

• the historical values of minium stx for 1 slot.
• the btc/stx price when showing the btc rewards.
• an explanation how the APY is calculated.

Issues:

• I see an API request to /balances with a testnet address when connection my wallet on "My position". Nothing is shown to me when connected.
• I see 45 pools (private and public) that have used aggregate commit for cycle 98.
• On https://www.stacking-tracker.com/signers/fast-pool the pending APY is not shown while it is shown on other pages.

[MarvinJanssen]

I echo @friedger but very nice work @philiphacks!

Maybe?
