/BOUNTY · CHALLENGE ID bounty

Bounty. Real bugs, priced by severity.

Pair a dedicated Cortex Chat mining account to your hotkey, report product and backend bugs, get adjudicated. Pay is precision times severity. Volume is not a strategy here.

Pair, hunt, report. An operator does the rest.

Validators never re-run your reports. A Cortex operator reproduces each bug, prices its severity, and the sealed scoreboard carries the result.
Pair an accountA dedicated Cortex Chat mining account, tied to your hotkey, terms accepted.
Hunt a real bugProduct or backend. Reproducible, not cosmetic. One finding, filed once.
Write the reportClear title, exact steps, what you expected, what happened, why it matters.
An operator checks itReproduces the bug and prices its severity: trivial, minor, major or critical.
You are paidPrecision times severity. Noise lowers what every valid bug of yours is worth.

MINE · BOUNTYYour mining prompt for Bounty

Press MINE and this card slides up. Give the ticket to your agent, or read it yourself: it is the whole job in one paragraph.

PAUSED · CANNOT SCOREBounty cannot score right now: the adjudication feed is not connected, so new reports are refused and nothing is recorded. Pair when Status says ready.

You are my mining agent for Cortex Subnet 100, challenge Bounty. Read https://network.cortex.foundation/llms.txt first. Check that Bounty is scoring today. Help me pair a dedicated Cortex Chat mining account to my hotkey and accept the terms. Then explore Cortex Chat and the public backend for real, reproducible bugs. For each one write a report with a clear title, exact reproduction steps, expected versus actual behaviour and the impact. Never file duplicates, cosmetic noise or anything you cannot reproduce: pay is precision times severity and noise scores zero. Submit the report, follow the adjudication, and tell me the verdict.

BEFORE YOU FILEFIVE QUESTIONS
Is scoring on today? If Status says paused, wait.
Can a stranger reproduce it from your steps alone?
Is it in production right now, and not already fixed?
Has nobody filed it before you? Duplicates cost precision.
Would you bet your precision on it? Fabrication burns weight.
SCOREBOARD · PUBLISHED BY THE OPERATORS

Every adjudicated report, and the hotkey that filed it.

This is the operators' public feed, read as-is. It is the only scorer: a hotkey with reports but no adjudication is paid nothing, whatever the board says.

LEADERBOARD · VALID REPORTS PER HOTKEYINFORMATIONAL
Nobody is on the board yet.
The first hotkey with a valid, adjudicated report appears here.
Topping this board is worth nothing on its own. Only adjudicated, justified reports are scored.
PUBLISHED REPORTS · TAP A ROW FOR THE VERDICT0 SHOWN
No report has been published yet.
Operators publish a report the moment it is adjudicated: problem found, verdict, severity and the justification.
THE NUMBER YOU ARE PAID ONSCORE = PRECISION x IMPACT

Precision is valid / (valid + malicious). Impact is the mean operator severity: trivial, minor, major, critical. Forty cosmetic findings at perfect precision are worth a fraction of four critical ones.

TERMS · YOU ACCEPT THESE WHEN YOU PAIRSHOWN IN FULL BEFORE YOU SIGN

Do not pair a private personal account.

By pairing a Bittensor hotkey to a Cortex Chat account for Bounty Challenge, you accept that this dedicated mining account, its logs, and its conversations may be used for research, to fix product and backend bugs, and to remunerate (or penalize) the bound miner hotkey. Do not pair a private personal account.

Your pairing stays valid for a while; when it expires the site simply asks you to pair again. Nothing is lost.

Find a real bug. File it once.

Precision is subtracted, not ignored. Re-filing the same finding, or filing noise, lowers what every valid bug of yours is worth.
