Development Bounty Program Rules
We have mad respect for your hacking skills and expect that you'll demonstrate them with integrity.
Important Legal Information
The bitcoinR development bounty program is an experimental and discretionary rewards program for our active bitcoinR community to encourage and reward those who are helping to improve the platform. You should know that we can cancel the program at any time, and rewards are at the sole discretion of the bitcoinR team.
In addition, we are not able to issue rewards to individuals who are on sanctions lists or who are in countries on sanctions lists (e.g. North Korea, Iran, etc). You are responsible for all taxes. All rewards are subject to applicable law.
Finally, your testing must not violate any law or compromise any data that is not yours.
Qualifying Vulnerabilities
Like that horrific spider or appalling cockroach, these are the bugs we're looking to squash.
We are looking to find issues affecting the stability or security of our blockchain protocol, mining client and wallet.
* For scenarios that do not fall within one of the above categories, bitcoinR still appreciates reports that help us secure our infrastructure for our customers. As such, we will reward those reports based upon our own discretion and the evolution of our XBR Development Bounty Hunter program.
Non-Qualifying Vulnerabilities
Turn a blind eye or mercifully scoot them out the door; these bugs don't count.
Since our main interest is in finding security problems affecting our blockchain protocol and its implementation, the following issues are considered out of scope:
Reporting Bugs & Vulnerabilities
Here's what we want to know about the creepy crawlies you find.
If you have found a vulnerability, please submit a report using the Report a Bug button below. Note that we are only able to answer to technical vulnerability reports. Please include the following in your report:
Please be available to cooperate with the bitcoinR engineering team to provide further information on the bug if needed.
Additionally, please note that unidentified report submitters will not be eligible for the bounty payment. Please expect to be asked for additional identification details for us to be able to progress with the payment. Please submit your report as soon as you have discovered a potential security issue. bitcoinR will consider the maximum impact and will choose the reward accordingly. We may pay higher rewards for otherwise well-written and useful submissions where the reporter didn't notice or couldn't fully analyze the impact of a particular flaw. Please note you will qualify for a reward only if you were the first person to alert us to a previously unknown flaw. We will update you on the progress of your report when it is accepted, validated, fixed and when the bounty is repaid.
Roadmap Improvements
Helping us navigate the curves and switchbacks can be profitable for you.
Here are a few categorical examples of areas where we will need some help:

Events
Everyone loves a good mixer, but there are a few other places we'd roll with you to also.
Here are some of the events that we actively participate in and would eventually like to host:
Podcasts
We encourage hosts of successful podcasts to grill us about the blockchain ecosystem on their own channels. If any or all of these apply, hit us up. We're very interested in guest hosting an episode with you:
Digital or wet ink. We got your story right here.
We love to help filter out the noise and bring cutting-edge information to light. Obviously, most publications do not solicit or accept payment for story placement, so this page is for PR agencies with tight connections into publications of note (digital or traditional) to get stories placed and interviews conducted.
Make sure to download our Media Kit to make your job a little easier.
Television
We point comfy furniture at this device too.
Nothing keeps us on the edge of our seat quite like an opportunity to learn something super cool. Similar to print, broadcast television shows generally do not solicit or accept payment for story placement, so this page is for PR agencies with tight connections into broadcast shows of note (digital or traditional) to get bitcoinR stories placed and interviews conducted.
We'd love to be a part of the regularly scheduled programming.
Social
There are endless corners of the Internet to spend your time in, but we think these are some of the best.
Our team has an expansive curiosity, but when it comes to cryptocurrency and blockchain there are a few communities that we all gravitate to for our news and discussions. If your opinion carries weight in any of these places and you have a good crew of peeps that you run with online, we'd love to be a part of your network and discussions:
If any of the these apply we'd love to chat about how we can work together.
