 - Investigated issue [3918](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/issues/3918) and found a source of wasteful resident memory usage on Linux.  @freimair implmented first finding of that investigation which reduces the JVM's MAXRam setting from 128 GB to 4 GB in PR [4048](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/4048);  this change reduced resident memory use on a clean Bisq installation on Ubuntu18 from ~ 4.8GB to ~1.7 GB.  Other tested ways of reducing resident memory usage by ~ 500MB are described in  [3918](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/issues/3918), if needed in the future.
    Will Request   5,357 BSQ = 3,000 USD

- Improve AvoidStandyModeService -- PR [4060](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/4060)
This change reduced disk reads by ~ 50% according to @freimair , and about 1 GB of resident memory allocation every hour according to my testing and profiling.  This was accomplished by running native suspend/sleep inhibitors on Linux and OXS, instead of playing the silent audio file.
    Will Request 1,250 BSQ = 700 USD

- Reduce Dependency Conficts -- Issue [4086](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/issues/4086)
This is a work in progress.  PR [4089](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/4089) has been merged to eliminate dependency conflicts among apache commons, apach httpclient/core, logback, and slf4j libraries.
    Will Request 447 BSQ ~= 250 USD

- Begin gRPC daemon and cli development based on existing POC.  The first merged PR [4096](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/4096) pulled protobuf definitions files out the :common and :core subprojects, into a new :proto subproject.  This eliminated :cli's direct dependency on core, and transitive dependencie's within :common.  It also reduces :common and :core incremental build times.  The second merged PR [4097](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/4097) hid netty debug stacktraces in the :cli, and introduced other changes to tidy of :cli, in preparation for the next phase of development currently in progress (not delivered): implementing SSL/TLS and cli authentication;  wallet encryption / decryption is next
    Will Request 2143 BSQ = 1,200 USD
