Hi there,

We've spent the last few months building merchant software for Bitcoin merchants, with the goal of handling every possible outcome.

Leading platforms today simply approve or decline the payment. They don't handle the many edge cases that Bitcoin is susceptible to (short payments, expired quotes, low fee, poor propagation etc etc). In a retail environment, every possibility must be considered and solved. This has led us to build a much higher quality experience.

We would like to get in touch with folks that can help us test against Double Spend and other payment attacks against merchant software.

We're offering US$100/session (plus all Bitcoin principle / network fees). We imagine each session goes like this:

  • You spend up to an hour trying to get our software to accept your transaction.
  • You send a bunch of transactions during this time.
  • You document your attempts and send us your one page (or less) of notes. If you're successful, let us know how and what you might do to improve.
  • We re-imburse you for all Bitcoin sent to us, network fees paid, and your US$100 payment. We can also pay up front if you have a reputation.

The only time we wouldn't award the US$100 is if it's clear you didn't even try during the session or your notes lead us to believe you never did anything.

Even if you aren't able to break anything, we will still pay for your time as long as you tested.

Long term business relationships available, we are interested in all types of attacks at all levels of expertise.

Get in touch and we'll get started. Thanks!

Jamie

I would have been interested in this position but I'm out of BTC so it looks like I won't be doing any of this :-(
Good luck finding someone to do this for you. Maybe I'll get some BTC, but how do we apply for this?

lol dude stop trying to be a professional at everything.By the profile description its obvious the OP wants someone highly experienced candidate in the field.As far as I remember you got your first bitcoin address what 2 months back?Though I'm very sure someone like Shorena or siameze would be a perfect fit since they're quite sophisticated in the technical fields.How many constructive posts have you even got in the Technical Support Section?That says a lot.



Are you high? My first Bitcoin address was much much further back than that.
That was a new address I used to start fresh on my account. Just because I don't post in the technical support section doesn't mean I'm some stupid person who doesn't know how to do anything related to it. How exactly am I trying to be a professional are everything? There are many things I'm utter shit at, such as graphics or php

Rather than derail this thread further, I think the OP is looking for someone who can test all double spend attacks listed here:
