How can we stop those goddamn pirate?
How about we put bounty on their head? That should work.

This solution totaly work out in the past so what can possible go wrong?!

don,t bother with this we would rather have exploits then hackers be greedy to get alot of money

20 years ago i used to send bug reports to Valve for counter-strike hacks and you know what they did? Nothing.

It's the goodwill ''Snitch Your GBATemp Friends To Us™'' move by Nintendo. What great guys. Reminds me of that Youtube Heroes bullshit Google tried to pull off.

They *actually* care about the 3DS ?? W-O-W

To be fair they care way more about half life.

but not enough to make a third one (or do they care too much?)

Sounds weird, but both. They most likely want to build hype

Counterstrike isn't even 20 years old yet.

Ofcourse you did.

This is actually quite bad, considering the decision between a cool 20k USD for a kernel exploit vs being a GBATemp hero for a couple days is easily made.

Except it's not guaranteed. It's at their discretion how much to pay for a submission. So the 20k is not a promise. It's more of a dangling carrot.

It is 16 years old. Close enough.

You'll never see a $20k bounty. That number is more a "now we've got your attention..." than a guarantee.

Like I mentioned before, they're quite capable of only giving out $100 for the most extreme exploits ("A9LH MKII? Sure...here's $100 and a legal attachment talking about how you no longer own the code, and can't talk about it").

I strongly doubt this'll be successful. For one thing, you get more money selling the exploit to companies who hoard them, than you would with a bounty.

Did you even read the posts in the thread?

So if you find a bug that leads you to play games like ds profile exploit, 20k?

No, when given a payment range by an enterprise and they have curious wording always assume the minimum.

Nintendo is a huge enterprise. After all.

 

[stanleyopar2000]

Nintendo should guarantee 20 grand. THEN you would have people's attention. This arbitrary bullshit is just a way to give snitches the least amount possible.

Maybe Nintendo is trying to lure Smea out

So if you find a bug that leads you to play games like ds profile exploit, 20k?

need I remind you this is NINTENDO we
are talking about. The same company who disrespects the YouTube community giving them free advertisement. You know they're going to shaft you. So no. They don't have to give you 20k and most defintlely won't
