Anyone can view or build on it. There is no CEO of bitcoin, no benevolent dictator, no foundation. It&#39;s open-source taken to the extreme.<br/><br/>If you think about it, bitcoin code is more or less a public good not tied to a single product or company. <br/><br/>𝐒𝐨 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐩𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐬?<br/><br/>The sad reality is many don’t receive funding at all. There are a lot of fantastic, impactful contributors that don’t get a single penny for the work they do that everyone else benefits from.<br/>Fortunately, there are ways to obtain funding that make bitcoin open-source a viable career path.<br/><br/>𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭<br/><br/>Some organizations like Chaincode Labs, the MIT DCI, Spiral (<span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqywhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68yttsw43zuam9d3kx7unyv4ezumn9wsqzpqz8m7vp497agx6g7422cq8fp0tzxj87v5uyez809ypj6afg2u2ru5xv7m" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Spiral</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…xv7m</span>)</a></span>), Brink, Localhost Research, 2140, and Blockstream (<span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qyvhwumn8ghj7urjv4kkjatd9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wshsz9nhwden5te0wfjkccte9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wsqzpy3fg4melylapvm4nug40c7elgs08lfycju09084yr9v7ey67amd8gg8xl" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Blockstream</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…g8xl</span>)</a></span>) employ developers directly.

There are many examples of people that have been able to opportunistically contribute to bitcoin open-source as part of work, especially if they are with bitcoin or fintech companies.<br/><br/>𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬<br/><br/>All of that being said, there is a sizable portion of bitcoin devs that get their funding from grants. This is a pretty unique model, even within the greater ecosystem of open-source software.

You and your team take down as many as possible.<br/><br/>Whichever team brings down the most in the shortest amount of time wins. Monitor extreme and yet unknown network behaviors, discover vulnerabilities, and build a stronger, more resilient bitcoin.<br/> <br/> <img src="https://m.primal.net/PSUQ.png"> <br/><br/>This track is for hackers with some level of coding skill, &amp; the ability to use the command line interface (CLI). Familiarity with Bitcoin Core, esp. the JSON-RPC interface is useful. A general understanding of how blockchains and distributed networks work will come in handy.<br/><br/>Who&#39;s ready to win?
