Chapter 215 Rewards for submitting bugs

Lin Hui first logged in to the account previously named "admin" that submitted the vulnerability.

Lin Hui discovered that the time regression vulnerability he submitted had been adopted.

This result was within Lin Hui's expectation.

Apple's security engineers are not idiots either.

Such a classic vulnerability arises from the bottom layer of Unix.

Lin Hui believed that Apple's security engineers would not be confused.

Now that you understand it, you can't just sit idly by and ignore it.

The value of this vulnerability for time regression vulnerabilities.

Staff from Apple’s bug bounty program offered Lin Hui $1.5 million.

According to Lin Hui’s original estimate:

If people at Apple measure it based on the complexity and severity of the development chain.

Then the value of the "time regression vulnerability" is at least US$700,000.

What Lin Hui submitted was a vulnerability corresponding to the iOS8 beta version.

Then according to the rules, Lin Hu should receive an additional 50% premium.

If there are no tricks on Apple’s part in the payment process.

The value of the vulnerability submitted by Lin Hui was over US$1.05 million.

Now making an offer of $1.5 million.

It can be said that it is more in line with Lin Hui's expectations.

After all, according to the description of the previous bug bounty program:

“When security personnel submit a vulnerability to a bug bounty program.

Apple said it will measure the complexity and severity of these vulnerabilities based on the development chain.

Bounties of up to $1 million are available per security vulnerability.

And if vulnerabilities can be found in Beta (test version) software.

The maximum bounty available at a time is US$1.5 million."

Now this $1.5 million is almost the highest bounty that can be submitted to the bug bounty program.

The website not only gives out quotes.

Lin Hui was also asked to provide corresponding settlement methods.

Settlement form for $1.5 million.

Lin Hui chose to settle in B.T.C.

Although it may not be that fast if you choose BitPay to pay.

Users need to make an appointment (submit a vulnerability) at any working day three months later as the payment date.

But Lin Hui was so happy.

After all, Lin Hui’s impression is that the price of B.T.C has been falling in the following few months.

In January 2015, B.T.C was generally only a little over two hundred dollars.

In this case, if Lin Hui chooses to receive the money in early January 2015.

Doesn’t it mean that the number of B.T.C that Lin Hui actually obtained through the time regression loophole will be more?

The vulnerability is worth $1.5 million.

So let’s estimate it at $220 a piece.

Lin Hui will receive 6818 coins at one time.

According to the previous life, the price was US$60,000 per piece.

A few years later, these 6,818 coins would be equivalent to US$409.08 million.

That’s more than $400 million.

If it were to be converted into soft sister coins, it would be more than 20 billion?

This is a really fat wave of rhythm.

Of course this is only theoretical.

Theoretical estimates may be wonderful, but the reality is bleak.

In fact, it would be troublesome to rely on these discounts.

Unless there is a more complicated operation or other big dealers are willing to take it all at once.

Otherwise, I would sell nearly 7,000 coins directly on the market.

It will have a considerable impact on the market.

There is a high probability that it will trigger a series of chain reactions including but not limited to panic.

After all, the total number of B.T.C that has appeared in the next few years is less than 20 million.

Of course, this is just an imagined possibility.

Lin Hui didn't intend to make money from this thing.

Lin Hui had considered this matter more than once before.

It even takes longer to consider than many software-related things.

After all, as a reborn person, even one who knows nothing about software.

When it comes to making money, there is a high probability that B.T.C will come to mind first.

After all, there have been too many legends of getting rich overnight involving this thing.

Lin Hui is also eager to make money, but what Lin Hui really needs is hot money, not futures money.

Simply put, Lin Hui needs real money now.

Rather than the money that may be harvested in the future.

There are too many variables involved in the future.

Who can be sure which will come first, tomorrow or the accident?

Lin Hui was not sure about this either.

As for Lin Hui’s previous investment in B.T.C.

It's just a few random moves inadvertently.

Maybe Lin Hui will make a few more moves in this regard in the future.

But I won’t overdo it.

Lin Hui felt that hoarding more than 10,000 B.T.C. for future risk avoidance would be enough.

There is no need to stock up on too much.

If you really want to make money, Lin Hui has too many ways to make a profit.

B.T.C, which can only make one hundred profits, is not enough.

Moreover, Lin Hui feels that this kind of thing that runs counter to future policies can only be touched upon briefly.

There is ultimately no need to go too deep.

Anyway, in Lin Hui's previous life, except for people like Musk, who publicly hyped this kind of virtual/virtual currency/currency.

Few top business leaders have expressed a clear view on the matter.

There is no need for Lin Hui to indulge in this too much.

In short, Lin Hui has no plans to go too deep into this field.

Involves the settlement of bug submission rewards.

Lin Hui chose to settle with bitpay and agreed on the payment date in January 2015.

Although the amount of nearly 7,000 pieces is not small.

But Lin Hui is not worried that Pingchun will not be able to come up with less than 10,000 pieces.

After all, Pingchun was also the company that once aspired to be the number one company in the world.

It’s not like I don’t have any foundation at all.

Since Apple has provided B.T.C. as a settlement method, it is definitely a sufficient plan.

All in all, Lin Hui didn't think it was a big problem.
