RE: What if... someone DDOS'd the whitelisted BOINC servers for a while?
Gridcoin should be more cautious about project whitelisting. Maybe there should be a good practice code obligatory for being whitelisting. In long term a DDOS simulacrum triggered by foundation voting would be the most accurate test.
But the problem is to determine an equilibrium point which improves security but also make the adaption process affordable for most BOINC projects.
We do have a sorts of whitelist criteria, some older projects still don't have SSL thus are breaking such criteria, but we could certainly increase the scrutiny that we place under potential projects. At any time, anyone can create a poll to remove a project from the whitelist though.
