Completion of this Flipstarter will allow me to further develop bitcoincashj and implement even more features and improvements.

The goals I aim to complete with the completion of this

CashID support
Flipstarter support
Schnorr multisig support



Breakdown

CashID Support

CashID support in bitcoincashj will allow Java developers to

Much like how Electron Cash has the Flipstarter plugin, Flipstarter support within bitcoincashj itself will allow for users using wallets based on bitcoincashj to make

Schnorr Multisig Support

Currently only normal inputs in a standard bitcoincashj wallet are signed with Schnorr. Multisig wallets still use ECDSA

Rewritten SLP integration
More examples in bitcoincashj for developers to reference

bitcoinj backports

All of these tasks have been completed, but since backports have no set "completion" stage, currently all upstream

On top of those 4 goals, I also worked on several

Schnorr signatures
Testnet4 support
Scalenet support

BIP47 improvements and optimizations

So more was accomplished than advertised in the original Flipstarter.

Tasks such as the aserti3-2d implementation also helped
