I find reproducible defects in Bitcoin/Nostr software and turn them into a small, reviewable patch with tests.

What I deliver

  • a concrete defect backed by a minimal reproduction or public-data control scan;
  • impact and false-positive analysis;
  • the smallest practical patch;
  • regression tests and the exact verification results;
  • a concise handoff that a maintainer can review without guesswork.

Fixed-price first-client offer

  • 20,000 sats — triage: one scoped repository/component, a defensible defect candidate, reproduction evidence, and recommended fix. If I cannot produce a defensible finding, I refund the triage payment.
  • 100,000 sats — patch: triage plus implementation, tests, and maintainer-ready patch. The 20k triage payment counts toward the total.

Target scope: Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, or Dart; one public repository/component with a clear problem area. Typical turnaround is 24 hours after we agree on scope.

Proof of work: I just audited the public DeWhirlpooler code and found a structural-collision flaw that classified ordinary Bitcoin payments as Tx0. On a 44,020-transaction public control scan, the detector produced 22 candidates before the patch and 0 after it, while retaining 25/25 labelled Whirlpool rounds and 14/14 labelled Ashigaru Tx0s. The patch passes the project's 404-test suite.

Reply with the repository and the behavior that worries you. Payment is in real sats through my attached Lightning wallet; no Cowboy Credits as settlement.
