in #gridcoin6 years ago

Updates

  • User ratings
  • Magnitude here and there
  • Small bug bounty program
  • Fixed error, which caused XML error for new hosts
  • No additional rewards for next payout period, except for staking coins.

Bug bounty program

  • Precise numbers depends from my opinion. But I think I could use these.
  • Program works for working implementation of my pool (https://gridcoinpool.ru and https://grc.arikado.ru ) and github code: https://github.com/sau412/arikado_gridcoin_pool
  • Total bounty limit is 500 GRC. Just for big pile of issues.
  • Issues processed by approval time. If issues are linked, then I decide what to do with rewards.
  • Fixes or pull requests are not necessary.
  • Some errors could be visible for some time when I change pool code. Error should be visible more for 30 minutes.

Major issue - 105 GRC (pool rewards for a week)

Major issue is something, that could stop pool from working. Or could cause incorrect payouts (more than 20 % of total). Or cause security problem for each user. Like this:

  • SQL injections
  • Payout problems more than 20 % of total payout
  • Receive all users information (emails, others)
  • Change any information for any user
  • Host stealing

Middle issue - 15 GRC (pool rewards for 1 day)

Something, that show incorrect information or errors for users of the pool. But not for all users at once. Like this:

  • HTML or javascript injections
  • Uninitialized variables
  • 'headers already sent' message
  • Visible PHP warnings or errors
  • New users registration problems

Minor issue - 1+ GRC

Small errors:

  • Javascript errors
  • Language errors. I mean english language in visible messages. Not in code comments.
  • Unused variables
  • Find uncompatible modern devices or browsers
  • Night mode or menu problems

What is not an issue

  • Something that could not be fixed by me, like hosting errors or hosting security problems.
  • Project stats in gridcoin superblocks is not used
  • Gridcoin address is not checked by validateaddress
  • Email address is not checked for any email format
  • When BOINC project sends me injection code
  • When gridcoin client sends me injection code
  • Reward error less than 5 % of total.
  • Quick RAC code.

How to

  • For security issues, contact me on telegram, twitter, facebook, discord, slack, gmail or use feedback form on the pool. Also you could do github issue with hash of issue text, for avoid conflicts.
  • For other issues you can use github issues. Should be visible for avoid conflicts.
  • Don't forget to add your wallet address somewhere.

Gridcoin is an open source cryptocurrency (Ticker: GRC) which securely rewards volunteer computing performed upon the BOINC platform in a decentralized manner on top of proof of stake.

BOINC (Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing) is a distributed Internet platform launched beginning of 2002 and rewards participants with credits for performed work.
