Quickseller just gave me a negative feedback claiming that the bug does not exist.
I was right now preparing a private message to you explaining the bug in detail ... but if this is the way it works in this community, I am definitely done here :-(

I am interested in this method for the sake of reporting it. I'm not sure if my lack of trust will prevent you from messaging me about it, but it's worth a shot.

Something like this ought to be fixed.

EDIT:

Why are you asking for 10 btc ? I think it would be better report that "bug" to bitcoin core devs   and after maybe someone will send you a donation.

Why not?  Some people like to get paid for finding exploits.  If it's a major flaw, then he deserves more than 10BTC.

Yes , but first report the bug and after "maybe" the bitcoin core devs will send you a bounty. Not  in the other way , if he is serious.

Was just hoping for some kind of support, was sitting over a month doing code reviews in the bitcoin code tree and still have to pay my bills somehow.
Anyway, you are right so I have contacted gmaxwell about this in private with a proof of concept.

Then good luck, if you are right I think quickseller and gmaxwell  will remove the feedback agains your (there will not be a problem of course).

Yeah, but it's a "maybe"?  He could sell the exploit to a mining pool in China for a lot more than 10 BTC, but he didn't.  I don't think there is anything wrong with someone asking to get paid for a major exploit found.  It's more productive then short selling market manipulators who are destroying the price of BTC.

If the bug exist, but now we should only wait a confirm from gmaxwell. I'm sure Evil-Knievel will receive a bounty (if he has right).

I'll throw him a BTC if it's legit.  Also, idiot members shouldn't leave him negative trust without explanation here.  It's the wrong way to deal with exploits.

[Quickseller]

This guy is a scammer. If he actually had the exploit that he claims to have, he could easily sell it to an exchange who would potentially stand to lose hundreds of millions of dollars if the exploit were to be used against them.

The same is true for mining pools although they do not have quite as much money at stake.

Again the same is true for casino operators. Oh wait this guy scammed Casinobitcoin out of 5 BTC to provide evidence of such exploit (see his trust). Additionally this person was trying to get people to pay him for another "exploit" several months ago.

He is offering to show the "media" evidence of such an exploit however the media does not have a technical background and would  not be capable of questioning if this would actually work or not.

You are clearly trying to profit off of this exploit. The difference between my suggest and what you are asking is for the community to pay you up front to reveal the exploit verses you likely having to reveal the exploit first to the exchange (or whoever you are selling it to).

No I don't think , he should reveal the "bug" to bitcoin core devs not to the various exchange. I think they will send a big bounty if the bug exist.

Just put donations address to one of trusted members and problem is solved. If there is no bug he will return BTC, else you will receive the whole amount.

Thank you for sending to to GM.  That was the right thing to do.

So what is wrong with that?
Let's say you work at a fast food restaurant, then you also try to profit from the time you invest to roast all those hamburgers, don't you?
So what is wrong with doing careful code reviews and trying to live from that?

Also, I see no problem with asking for a payment upfront? When you order something online you also have to pay upfront before you receive the goods, don't you?
You are criticising all those points, that you do in the same manner in your regular life in exactly the same way (except you are an unemployed guy, who orders goods without paying for them before, which I hope you aren't)

Waiting for gmaxwell.
