I also think the anti-scam bounty needs a full review and investigation. The earlier Polkadot Anti-Scam Team 2025 Top-Up proposal didn’t pass [ check here ] but worth check the comments. Finally they managed to get the top-approved [ check here ] Are we spending $9000 per month in curators? I just ca…

[image] frankywild: , the average reward that implementers receive is about $8.7 per site removed. If you knew how to create a domain, you would not mention creating them in advance to remove them, as that would be much more expensive than the reward itself, so it makes no sense. I will paste…

It’s hard for me to understand how much you are been paid in this bounty. Here is a breadown of your two core activities: Removing fraudulent/malicious sites: You have been paid $230,000 for 4 years: 2022-2025 If you are paid $8,7 per site removed as you say, that means you have removed 26,436 s…

This is 0xpasta activity removing fraudulent/malicious sites in 2025: [0xpasta] I’m skeptical that all the sites Franky and 0xpasta claim to be removing as allegedly fraudulent or malicious actually exist.

I have taken down 18,240 websites since we started this bounty in 2022. The rewards have been decreasing every year thanks to the improvements we have made to the process. Therefore, the average reward per website was higher when we started. You can see all this information in the same spreadsheet y…

Thank you for the clarification. I have a couple of factual follow-ups: Do you have any estimate of how much money Polkadot users have actually lost to the phishing sites you’ve taken down? Even a rough range or methodology would help contextualize the impact of the bounty. Are all 18,240 site…

I have some rhetorical questions: Can this process ( and many others that are happening in openGov) be automated? Let’s give work of machines to machines, and retain human work for humans. What other major protocols, and our direct competitors, do related to this ? And how much do they spend? …

Thx for the clarification. :white_check_mark: The readability of your document is confusing then. If you put “Reward”, then it’s a reward. Some of the amounts are payments here? If you don’t indicate the frequency “Annual”, “Monthly” or “1 time”, how are we supposed to understand the document ? O…

[image] cpiccard: Are all 18,240 sites specifically Polkadot-related phishing sites, or does that number include general crypto phishing sites as well? Understanding the scope would make the figures easier to evaluate. It’s not necessarly Polkadot related, i already digged in their repo durin…

Being part of the current DV cohort, i’m asking another question: The anti-scam bounty is the only one to pay 2000$ for the yellow X badge, if this is what we are talking about: [Capture d’écran 2025-11-28 à 11.44.11] Other bounties on X: [Capture d’écran 2025-11-28 à 11.44.06] [Capture …

There is no proof that those sites were fraudulent or malicious. There is no proof that those sites were taken down. I also see may many are subdomains when taking down the main domain is enough. Where are the reports to the hosting providers? Less trust, more proofs.
