A testnet that mirrors the main net
...
- where users interact and try to break things
This is where we should add a decent bounty and anyone discovering a bug should be rewarded. Then you will see lot of people jumping in and trying to break things.
I also would add a topic:
- communication ... communication ... communication.
The super-secret-witness-channel is a closed black-box that should be at least read-only for other witnesses.
Wouldn't we need to implement some kind of Worker Proposals to be able to offer a Bug Bounty from the Reward Pool? Or are you saying Steemit and the Witnesses should fork out for it?
Yes for the bug bounty...its the only way to align interests...
