NXT source code to be released on Jan 3 + new bounties!
« on: December 11, 2013, 01:33:38 PM »
Per CfB:

On the 3rd of January the source code of basic features will be published for peer review. BCNext decided to make it more interesting to do a review, so the code will contain 3 security flaws - serious, critical and fatal ones. The 1st person who reports one of these flaws in a special thread will get a reward (1'000, 10'000 and 100'000 NXT accordingly). There will be SHA256 hashes of flaw descriptions published, the descriptions will be revealed after the flaws r reported. If some unreported ones left after 3 months, BCNext may decide to reveal them at any time.

PS: This has a nice side-effect, copycats have to wait for full disclosure or do their own research.

Wow, that is a fantastic idea...

EDIT:
Actually now that I've thought about it, how are we supposed to store NXT if there are purposefully injected fatal security flaws?

Flaws will be in published source, not in our binaries.

Wow - terrific idea!

Now I'm excited to see the code -- not that I'm likely smart enough to spot security holes.  BUT I'LL TRY!

This is a great idea and shows that BCNext is serious about the currency.  You mention "source code of basic features"  Does this mean the kernel code will not be revealed?

This totally reminds me of 3301/cicada. The new challenge is expected to be revealed at 4th of January.
