Right? This gives the impression that there might be people out there who have developed valid attacks but who are holding back from revealing them because they haven’t optimized their strategy to ensure they can win the CTF race.
This seems like a perverse incentive creating suboptimal behavior.
- Retr0id 1y agoThat's why they removed it.
- markasoftware 1y agono it's not. Google still has a long time between each submission cycle, and people are still holding back their exploits in the hope they'll win the next one. It's just a matter of luck now, rather than a matter of optimizing PoW.
- jameshart 1y agoStill a race though. So you can’t rig it by optimizing your proof of work implementation, people are still going to look for an edge. These are CTF experts, exploiting systems is what they do.
