Our Last Week…JUST WOW!

Things have been pretty crazy though. The entire team have been working hard to prepare for our ICO launch which was to take place in on “Cyber Monday” November 27th at 12:00 GMT.

But we haven’t even kept our Medium audience up-to-date on our official bug hunt code audit and review, so let’s start with that!

The official bug hunt was a great success and we had several highly skilled Solidity developers and hackers take part.

There were at least a dozen or so suggestions from the developers, with everything from coding style suggestions to alternative ideas about how to do certain functions in our smart contract.

More importantly though, one actual bug was found.

It was a bug that was relatively low risk in the sense that it would have been very had to successfully use in a malicious manner, but it was still significant enough that we decided to award the developer who found it with a 3.5 ETH bounty as a thank you. :)

We also gave out a smaller bounty of 1 ETH to another developer who spent a lot of time reviewing our smart contract and came up with some real neat and valuable suggestions that our own developer took on board.

During the bug hunt our official code was also being reviewed and audited by an independent highly skilled Russian Solidity developer by the name of Anthony Akentiev.

Mr Akentiev spent about 2 days carefully reviewing each of our about 1000 lines of code, and he was also monitoring the progress of the bug hunt at the same time.

Mr Akentiev found a few issues with the coding style that he highlighted in an internal report to us.

Most of these were minor preferences in style, and none of the issues discovered during the audit would have put investor funds at risk. (I should point out that our developer had already rectified the bug just prior to Mr Akentiev starting his audit and Mr Akentiev was of course aware of this.)

Our developer took on board most of the suggestions from Mr Akentiev and implemented them in our final smart contract, which was then deployed on the main Ethereum network.

As a last measure we asked Mr Akentiev to review the source code on the Ethereum network and verify to us as a team that nothing had indeed been changed or modified since his final review of the code, and he...
