There's also lots of bug bounties for smart contracts, cryptocurrencies, etc. And they typically pay pretty well. So make money, fix problems, and stay out of jail is also another avenue.
- gammateam 8y agoyep and you can also "audit" these things at a nice premium for a day job as well the hackerone bug bounty formalization was just getting up to speed, but the competition has greatly expanded. exploit, audit, bug bounty.. its all semantics in my opinion. you get paid, and you have to weigh what kind of liability you create. where's the distinction? Even people that go straight through hackerone or some company's bug program wind up with undue liability, its still better not to be known in your most "compliant" way
- chopchopchap 8y agoHow would you go about getting started with the bounties for cryptocurrencies? What sort of skills or background is needed? It's not so good if you need to be a hardened c++ dev with 10 years of experience. :*(
- gammateam 8y agoyou don't need to be a hardened c++ dev with 10 years of experience. thats what you need if you don't want your currency to be exploitable. forget the money and the terms, these are just linked lists with memory leaks. very profitable memory leaks. sometimes getting a function into a certain state gives you access to coins - a variable - just read the function.
