It’s time to get back in the game.

I just found a confirmed bug on @immunefi #immunefitribe immunefi.com/s/ss/?severity… Podium? Soon (;

@mccleod1290 Most days I work 9-14 hours. Haven't had a weekend since last year. I'm due for a lil break ngl

@GrumpyLord36678 Congratulations..... Two questions how many hours a day / week do you grind? How much programing is required?

Coming back to the “What’s the biggest thing bug bounties gave you?” Question, Money aside, BB taught me the art of not giving up and the art of not giving a fuck. Hunting for bugs has been a spiritual journey more than anything else... If you are in the beginning of your journey, you probably see other people making it big. Making big dollars like @Ehsan1579. You sit there and ask yourself just “How”. What do they have that I don’t? As rejections roll out and your reports get closed one after the other one, all you ever feel like is giving up. You might feel defeated, unsatisfied, all the small chatter in your head is telling you to give up… But your EGO won’t let you. EGO isn’t all bad, as society likes to condemn it. I’d go as far as to say that ego is the key ingredient in an industry as cut-throat as BB. In moments like these, your family, your friends and whoever you consider close will try to tell you that maybe it’s just not for you. Solution? -> cut everyone. Don’t let anyone get to you and put your head down, analyze what is going wrong, how to get better and try new strategies. That’s the only difference between the ones who make it and the ones who don’t. Do not take “no” for an answer. If a project closes your report but you know you are right, make sure you are right and then ask for mediation with all the facts you have. You’d be surprised how many projects close valid in-scope issues. Same thing applies if they try to reduce the severity or pay you “peanuts” for what it’s worth. I’ve been working in DEFI for years now, learning the ropes, building projects. All of them were a fluke until I tried Immunefi. I worked every waking minute for 8 months straight without any payout. Then… in September I got my first bug confirmed. A “Low” for $2000. I was ecstatic, I was excited. For literally 3 days, I was listening to music just staring and the “Confirmed” ticket. You see bug bounty is a bit like the casino, the difference is instead of betting money, you bet time (sometimes it does cost money too) and the payouts hit like a truck and you never quite expect it fully. It’s like a drug. And like a drug, you want more of it and you soon become accustomed to a certain level (“the tolerance”). They say you always chase the first high and it’s very true for bug bounty as well. The months following I was finally averaging at least 1 paid report per month. That was until January. I’ll never forget it, I had 9 confirmed reports in a row. The “High” hit soooo strongly. But with every high comes a low. Doubts cripple in, you start rationalizing it. You tell yourself that “I just got lucky”. The bug Immunefi posted on their page was from January. This cycle repeats endlessly. Turns out that February was an even better month for me. The thrill of the unknown and the unexpected is what makes it fun. I do not think I would be doing this if you took that out of the picture. It was a journey, a very difficult one I’d might add. But in the end, it was worth it. It built me into a stronger more resilient person. It thought me patience. Reports being closed hurt. Probably one of the worst types of rejection out there. But at some point in time you get used to it and have to learn how to detach yourself from the emotions and trust the process. It’s a numbers game after all. I am waiting for the leaderboard to update now (long due)! I’m curious to see if I finally made it into the top 100 of whitehats of all times. (Currently sitting at $175k in earnings from 22 reports) It’s all just a matter of time after all (;

@_Z561 Mostly blockchain/dlt but I’ve been getting into smart contract recently

@GrumpyLord36678 Gawd dayum, that's a crazy series. Which kind of projects do you hunt mostly?

When the leaderboard updates again I should already be 😎 You’ve been a great inspiration to me as well! I still remember when I started last May, you were 1st place that quarter. I believe it was the Scroll bug? I was like one day… I’ll be beside WhiteHatMage Keep up the hard work! Keep inspiring

@GrumpyLord36678 @immunefi Top 75 now ✍️

After so much hard work and perseverance, I finally made it in the top 100 of whitehats of all time on Immunefi @immunefi I am 4th place in the past 90 days (: It's been a long rough ride. I'd like to personally thank Immunefi for giving me the opportunity and making all this possible! I'm forever grateful to have had the chance to have an impact and to have contributed positively to the space! No dream is ever impossible. it's only impossible if you give up KEEP working hard, be patient and let time do its thing Next goal is top 40 on Immunefi all times and 1st place next quarter

@ItsShad0wWalker @immunefi Thanks I appreciate it 🙏 Great work on your side too (:

@GrumpyLord36678 @immunefi Great work mate!

@adeolRxxxx @immunefi Yup

@GrumpyLord36678 @immunefi Firedancer?

I just found a confirmed bug on @immunefi #immunefitribe immunefi.com/s/ss/?severity… This is my first audit contest, not bad... Another high duplicate except for this one and we'll see how it'll end! Hope I make podium

@TheTradMod @immunefi Ahaha thanks, I believe you are the triager for the Firedancer audit contest? I appreciate your contribution (:

@GrumpyLord36678 @immunefi Great work ser

@Ehsan1579 @immunefi Thanks mate, means a lot coming from you! You've been a great inspiration to me! More than you now

@GrumpyLord36678 @immunefi Good job mate, keep up the great work!

@dani3l526 @immunefi thanks man I appreciate it (;

@GrumpyLord36678 @immunefi nice move mate!

Top ranked hits different ahaha The leaderboard as to update again lmao I've surpassed that by a good margin Projects take the time to read your reports when you have reputation. The beginning was rough... Projects used to not even read my reports and just close them! I used to dream of this moment and it finally happened

@CarlosMB138 @immunefi Thanks 🙏 jobs not done!

@GrumpyLord36678 @immunefi Great job!

I just found a confirmed bug on @immunefi #immunefitribe immunefi.com/s/ss/?severity… Another High bites the dust
