## Summary

This compensation request covers work [delivered](https://github.com/bisq-network/proposals/issues/19) since the previous voting period ([for cycle 7](https://github.com/bisq-network/compensation/issues/400)) up until just prior to the end of the cycle 8 proposal phase, between 2019-11-11 and 2019-12-12.

As we are now using the 90 days average BSQ price for compensation requests, as per accepted [proposal 114](https://github.com/bisq-network/proposals/issues/114), and as stated in [compensation 414](https://github.com/bisq-network/compensation/issues/414), the BSQ rate for cycle 8 is 0.81 USD per 1 BSQ.

 - BSQ requested: X USD / 0.81 = `TBD`
 - DAO proposal transaction ID: `TBD`

- Working on a fix for validating BTC node config (https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/issues/3137#issuecomment-563145196)

- I am investigating deploying some [tor relays](https://github.com/bisq-network/roles/issues/72#issuecomment-553528599). At this point they are not stable but I do eventually plan on leaving them up permanently and take on a Tor Relay Operator role.

## Roles performed

- Bitcoin node operator: https://github.com/bisq-network/roles/issues/67#issuecomment-552338194 `[X BSQ]`
- Seed node operator: https://github.com/bisq-network/roles/issues/15#issuecomment-552335944 `[X BSQ]`
- Pricenode operator: https://github.com/bisq-network/roles/issues/14#issuecomment-552334336 `[X BSQ]`
- Relay operator for mobile notifications: https://github.com/bisq-network/roles/issues/82#issuecomment-552333933 `[X BSQ]`

_Note: I am requesting a higher amount for each node which have additional requirements (e.g. storage, CPU, RAM)._
