OP is happy to spill some pretty high-level corporate beans, but not detail a physical assault... I don't really know what to take from this article in all honesty. I feel there's a lot being left unmentioned.
- fred_is_fred 9y agoAnd instead of getting a lawyer to resolve this, he says he'll just 0-day exploits for it. Seems like a poor negotiation strategy to me.
- 0xbear 9y agoHow does a lawyer resolve anything if there's no contract? And by extension, why should he refrain from publishing zero days if there's no contract? It's his software.
- King-Aaron 9y ago> why should he refrain from publishing zero days if there's no contract? I can probably think of 77-million potential reasons that he might not be able to / want to.
- 0xbear 9y agoNone of those reasons apply to him.

Saying: > my only way to get paid is by selling zero-day exploits for people who want to attack Aeternity. could seem like a Mafia goon saying "nice shop, shame if something happened to it" but it can also be read as "it's terrible that the employer has shafted the employee so hard there are no lawful ways for the employee to get paid".

He's proved himself naively optimistic enough to make very valuable work before getting a good contract rather than after.
