Gridcoin Bounties section open at Gridcoinstats.eu

As of today Gridcoinstats has a Bounties section. It's quite minimalistic as of yet, but I'm sure it will grow.
Bounties that requires tracking on the chain can be added here by me.

Since bounties are highly custom, these will require some special tricks to track each one of them. I do my best to make use of the data that I have for events like these.

Please remember though, there may be bugs and visual issues due to errors in the code, network issues or just ghosts in the machine. This page does not control the outcome, just visually help to track it :)

Today we kick of the Stake V8 Bounty tracker

Great! Does it auto refresh on new blocks? :)

It does not, sorry :)

1000GRC donated , just not tomasb due to the 1m block choice he made ( i have more than 1k no worries I wont get his either ) and of course no kikipope nor grcpool.com pool CPID/address. Hell there is a good chance its gunde , neuralminer , or phild or a whale like Rhino and there is good chance the block will be created/staked by a whale or even grcpoool.com and I have 0 restrictions on the winners total wallet amount ( btw gridcoinstats.eu shows i have 2k less than I have total so really hard for me to trust listed balance and out a stipulation on it knowing it may show user has 1

I will add 500 GRC to the first researcher with a total of 1000 GRC or less. And it cannot be Tomas or Kikipope :)

Edit: @sc-steem will add a notification to gridcoinstats.eu.

I'll put 50 GRC up as well, same conditions.

100 GRC from me. Same conditions.

I will add 50 GRC to the first researcher with a total of 1000 GRC or less (same conditions as @ravonn and @barton26).

Well for sure not me :) but iam also quite curious :) it would be really funny if Tomas would stake it this time with pure luck. :)))

I would not call that luck and personally I am leery of such , you can call me a whitehat if you want as I am not a full on blackhat , somewhere in between and am a greyhat of sorts as most self proclaimed whitehat's really are but idgaf if you call me a pink flamingo hat hacker and with him helping/coding the fix I question motives , usually a " hacker " will only help patch a hole if its something keeping them from doing more damage.Usually to implement a much more destructive hack/security hole and how his actions has effected us as a team and community with such a negative impact I hope his heart is actually in the right place because I want to trust him and his help but if we go to the hack history date charts and then the 1m coin after what myself and others thought he was joking when after the 8/19 mumble he said he could attack the network to delay the 1m coin ( i believe via ddos ) that choice to hack the 1m coin leaves a very bad taste in my mouth and says something about maturity and the ability to hold back from distractive actions that could have killed Gridcoin. The stability and integrity of Gridcoin has been compromised the coin tarnished, the value tanked , trust broken. To clear something up , I never accused him of stealing from us users , but where did that 36k come from? There is ## WL projects / ## active cpid's x mag sooooooooo if it wasn't from users PoR and him stealing from us directly as all coins should be accountable for , the loss in funds are over 30k PoR from the SB issues missing project and SB creation times that his 0day caused over 2 month.

I must have missed the tanking value...

Hopefully not Tomas :-)

The first one who mints #gridcoin version 8 block with input of less than 1000 GRC input and a CPID, gets 73 GRC from me as a bonus!

Disclaimer: I am just a bot trying to be helpful.

I see you've received about 1650 GRC in donations

If you also want to sponsor this event, please send your donations to GRC address:

There is not details on where these sponsored donations will go to. Can you please post some information regarding these funds.

Where it will go to: I'll certainly use your bounty page to also see that, and my table from above. And before sending will also verify again with the sponsors...

  • Erkan (as I told in IRC): "I will send out once I know that the chain we are on is accepted, and safe" (see the current "disaster": clarifying Gridcoin's situation/hashes/forks after stakeV8 block 1010000)

  • all sponsors (see table above) are in contact with me over chat, they will kick my ass sooner than you, no worries ;-)

  • @ravonn's txid already: d898fe626dab3230606c2cdf42df22b3fecdf37ba4af52e5eefb0748806622f8

My tx sent at same rough time frame as ravon

Both were received by the staker. He sounded happy.

So, from what I checked with the v8 bounty:

    1. the bounty of barton26, BullShark and NxtGenCowboy would go to: S3DTrMCMyswvkXDrpxVh2W37D7vgimGMLm
    1. and the bounty by slimeball, SvartH, zipity and anonymous would go to: SCimsKHz5CdWz4uz1Jy81a3Em3BM57o8xS

The info is derived from gridcoinstats

  • me and gridcoinstats are on same block, at block #1012797

The donation address has also meanwhile mined a block, thus I will give the PoS earnt from there also to those 2 addresses from above, in percentage of each of those 2 addresses.

Without that we have currently:

  • SCimsKHz5CdWz4uz1Jy81a3Em3BM57o8xS 1419.622 GRC
  • S3DTrMCMyswvkXDrpxVh2W37D7vgimGMLm 201 GRC

Please verify!
