Even though he has sent the bug to gmaxwell to be reviews, why did he already get a negative trust ?
Self-proclaimed internet-sheriff's blind anger. Questionable behaviour, I agree.
Speaking about questionable behaviour... To me "Hey, I found a critical bug. I will inform you about it for
BTC10" sounds an awful lot like "Hey, I can break your legs. For $2000 I won't".
No, because then he'd be saying if you don't pay me the 10 btc I'm going to start shooting down every node I see until it's fixed.
Rather he simply wants to be compensated for his time spent digging into the code and finding a vulnerability.
To those who believe the Bitcoin Foundation should not offer these bounties I ask why does the EFF offer bounties and prizes?
Edit: Has gmaxwell verified the claim sent by PM yet?
