That's a really interesting idea, using a virtual economy to field test something like this. I was thinking about how you'd do that and actually attract attackers by having some value, using something like EVE where people are willing/wanting to do it anyway in game might work.
- Analemma_ 10y agoHow would this work? If you discovered an attack, what would be the incentive to not just sit on it until it was released to the real world?
- wmf 10y agoIn-game money (ISK) can buy influence in the social dynamics of EVE. There's also a prisoner's dilemma aspect where someone else might independently discover the same attack and use/disclose it before you get a chance to.
- Aelinsaar 10y agoI think there are enough people playing EVE who would be more interested about what it would do for them in-game, that if it were something that could be discovered by more than some lone genius with an epiphany, it would come out quickly.
