Altcoin Source Code Analysis?

[Depredation]

Where can I find someone who can analyze an altcoin's source code to check for any faults, as well as tell me the specifics of how it's staking works. I need to make sure the code is clean without any unknown functions. I am willing to pay BTC.

There was a member whose name I completely forgot (sorry) who used to analyze random coins in detail and share his findings (on github) and made notes on what was done right and wrong.

I apologize, but I really forget the name.

While this comment is probably utterly useless, I'm hoping someone can remember his name as he might be still open to do it.

Not a useless comment, it's a lead in the right direction
If anyone remembers the name of the guy, I'd be greatly appreciative.

If you don't trust the developer (probably a stranger for you), why you can trust another stranger who analyze the source code for you?

I think the best way is to learn how the code works by yourself.

1.You can open up a request in the services section as you're paying for the Job.
2.Check out popular github repos of the other altcoin developers.They will most likely to complete the job.
3.Check him out https://github.com/toqueteos

I suspect the references were to earlz, he maintained the assessments in a github repos but I believe he's pursuing other aims these days.

In the case of zero responses you may be obliged to perform this analysis personally.

I posted details of an approach here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=712197.msg8066207#msg8066207

Yes, it was indeed earlz. Thanks.

I reached out to him today, unfortunately he's busy with another project.

What you are asking for is a very in depth process. You are better off hiring someone trustworthy to make it for you instead

[GetClams.com]

I believe these services are very costly. It was reported that zcash spent $250,000. Its probable better to start with a trusted developer. Besides if its open source on github if there is something in there, sooner or later somebody will find it. Good luck!

 This is the established custom nowadays that the hire a developer to development your product, and hiring another developer to review the code of this product final.

Hello,

    I hope you find who and what you are looking for in good time.  I do remember reading the threads back in the day where the code reviews were published here with sections which are 'interesting' exposed for others to see.

Best Regards,

There is a guy running pools called ocminer who reviews any coin's source code that he's considering adding to a pool. He frequently makes posts about anything dodgy in a new coin's code. He would probably take payment for deeper source code analysis than the analysis he often provides for nothing.

The sourcecode is available for everyone here:
https://github.com/ocminer/ccminer-spreadcoin-pool-public

All the "magic" is i'm encrypting miner traffic over https instead of using plaintext http..

So I was basically doing 2 years ago what claymore does now with his miners - encrypting traffic between miner and pool. Of course I cannot giveaway the encryption key because it's the key that secures the connection

Hmm, are those walletbuilders created / compiled wallets?


Edit: Those indeed are walletbuilders created wallets... 

The premine is huge and using walletbuilders proves that you're not able to clone a coin yourself which should be the minimum for anyone launching a coin. You won't be able to fix when forks will happen etc..

Biggest WTF: only 100 PoW blocks?!? Either you have a trojan in the wallet or you want to turn your ridiculous 19% premine into an effective 99%.

lol

https://github.com/Bartholomew32/stc-source/blob/master/src/main.h#L31

True.. 100 Blocks


https://github.com/Bartholomew32/stc-source/blob/master/src/main.h#L50

Has nothing todo with the max supply.. The dev has no clue what he's talking about..

https://github.com/Bartholomew32/stc-source/blob/master/src/main.cpp#L1004-L1008

Nice premine.. and only 100 x 600 coins for the miners wow

https://github.com/Bartholomew32/stc-source/blob/master/src/main.cpp#L2541

Aahh, now thats a nice genesis block description..

Hmm, maybe you want to also tell miners about the premine:


https://github.com/Wozniakdev/Wozniak/blob/master/src/main.cpp#L988-L991


    "moneysupply" : 303144900.00000000,


So your statement about:
Total approx potential coins from POW: 565,000,

Is not fully true
