DDoSCoin: Cryptocurrency with a Malicious Proof-Of-Work [pdf]
I&#x27;m currently working on something similar. It&#x27;s a blockchain for verifiable exploits against open source software. The idea is that you can represent bug bounties as a series of smart contracts and have exploits run deterministically against a test case within a virtual machine. That way researchers are always guaranteed payment for working exploits and vendors can be forced to release patches on time.<p>I wrote more about the protocol and rational here if anyone is interested: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;roberts.pm&#x2F;exploit_markets" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;roberts.pm&#x2F;exploit_markets</a> It&#x27;s still very much in the brain storming phase so any feedback at all is appreciated.
