So the intent here is not to run on Ethereum or an existing smart-contract oriented blockchain, is it? Because compiling random real-world programs like Firefox to run on that VM isn't ever going to work, and I don't think there are any zero-knowledge or witness encryption approaches which will make it possible.
All the binaries you might want to offer bounties on are going to be 100s of GBs in size and growing very rapidly (Think of just the Debian repositories - they take up easily 8 DVDs. And that's by ignoring the daily/weekly/monthly snapshots used by many software projects including the web browsers which are the biggest target of bug hunting.) Is this something that needs to be decentralized?
