Bad people will always try to find ways to destroy Monero, the community needs more good people who have worked hard and sincerely to make Monero what it is today. It would never have reached this level if it weren’t for its honest community. If you are a developer, you can contribute and monitor CSS and bounty projects for Monero and point out any abnormal activity.

You can always donate to keep the Monero development going and improving as it have always been with no hidden fees or malicious behavior towards the community.

Why was the first milestone ever paid out, without the source code being public?

This was a bummer to see real time

Maybe I’m missing some details, but from reading the document it seems to me that CCS is 100% at fault here.
If some rando (that’s the impression I have after reading the document, let me know if kewbit actually had some reputation) can show up with some pretty screenshots and get paid without publishing any sources, then I should quit my job and start “exit scamming” CCS on daily basis as it seems easier and pays more… It just shouldn’t work like this, IMHO 🤷
I see Diego suggested a sensible amendment to rule #4 of CCS to prevent this from happening again. What’s the status of this proposal?
