Please describe your proposed solution.

Pype Dreams is a derrivative of "Angry Purple Tiger" developed by Helium Network. The original library contained some duplicate words in the lists. It has been rewritten so that each list has only unique words, and to support a fourth word; taking the potential outputs from 16 Million to 4.3 Billion.

This proposal will be to do the following:

1) Community outreach and feedback to develop a desirable phrasing that aligns with the Cardano Community. Today the package builds phrases that are {adjective} {color} {animal} {clothing}. This outreach would provide an opportunity for feedback to modify the phrases and words within the list.

2) Write a JavaScript library that produces an identical result to the python package.

How does your proposed solution address the challenge and what benefits will this bring to the Cardano ecosystem?

This proposal would produce a known good package, with a demonstrably reproducible output universally for the major front end and back end languages in use today. It can be used to prove who the originator of a communication is by using an unknown hash/passphrase/etc. It can also be used to simplify difficult to remember strings, such as wallets and stake keys. This could be leveraged in the future for DID generation, smart contract registries, etc.

How do you intend to measure the success of your project?

Success would be two fully operational Python and Javascript libraries.

Please describe your plans to share the outputs and results of your project?

The project is entirely open source, and can be tracked by the existing repository.

What is your capability to deliver your project with high levels of trust and accountability?

Having succeeded in the writing of the current Python library, success is guaranteed.

What are the main goals for the project and how will you validate if your approach is feasible?

The main goal of this proposal is to have fully reproducable results leveraging Javascript and Python.

Please provide a detailed breakdown of your project’s milestones and each of the main tasks or activities to reach the milestone plus the expected timeline for the delivery.

The entire project can be completed in a 2 month window.

Please describe the deliverables, outputs and intended outcomes of each milestone.

The two deliverables are 1) Implementing a phrase library that is the result of a community feedback period, and 2) Recreating the entire Python library in Javascript.

Please provide a detailed budget breakdown of the proposed work and resources.

All funds will be used to offset labor costs.

Who is in the project team and what are their roles?

Huth S0lo - Lead Developer

How does the cost of the project represent value for money for the Cardano ecosystem?

This project is based around network security, and preventing social engineering attacks. If this library prevents a single wallet from being stolen, it will have achieved its goal.
