Social Kapital is offering a two part bounty program as part of events marking the release of our Ethereum smart contract source code at github. The first part of the bounty program is targeted at the crypto community in general. With so much noise and opinions about DAOs, we want people to spend a little time researching what it is, Social Kapital is offering. The second part of the bounty program is targeted at software programmers. Please take a look at our code at github and help us find possible attack vectors in the code before we deploy the code on the blockchain. So, here we go.


Who is the fairest of them all?

From bitcoin beginnings, name and provide prove of any Initial Coin Offering (ICO) that offered its participants a better value proposition than Social Kapital based on the following criteria.

• Participants control over the ICO fund
• The ability and ease of withdrawing individual contributions
• The security of the ICO fund

The first verified prove earns a bounty of 84 ETHER

Technical and business process attack vectors

Social Kapital’s business processes is software code in the form of Ethereum smart contracts. Like bitcoin, ether and other blockchain assets, smart contracts cannot be forged, deleted or modified once it is mined on the blockchain.

Using the Social Kapital source code at github, find technical and business process attack vectors that can be used to compromise Social Kapital. The attacker(s) can be internal or external actors. For an attack vector to be classified as valid, there has to be no mechanism built into the software to mitigate such an attack.

80 ETHER will be paid for the first 4(20 ETHER each) attack vectors found and documented
