I noticed that LL is taking a proactive position on bugs/exploits.

Just a thought here, and I dont know if its feasible, or if it could be refined to work...
How about a matching $10K from the "Sellers Guild" if the exploit directly affects Developers/CP's/Merchants? I think this would be a great PR tool for our group.
Especially if the matching $L10K were not an issue. (I am confident we could find benefactors)

Some thoughts that come to mind would be how many exploits in a given time frame would we match rewards on, or would qualify. Some type of confirmation from LL, maybe a nod from Brent Linden would be necessary. Also..some definitive criteria would be necessary for the reward, not just a broad stroke "Prims become physical if you..." kind of thing.

Maybe a solicitation/post along the lines of.."You "MAY" qualify for a matching reward from the Sellers Guild, IF you meet these criteria...blah...blah...blah"

Is this worth pursuing? Positive thoughts? Nay-says?
