I've been playing a bit with the 1-click-install and so far it's really great. Though, i agree that the whole NIS and NCC is not user friendly. It should be more transparent for the user.

Now that the code it out, is there a security audit (contest) that is planned? (I cant remember seeing this in the discussion). I really think that we should keep a couple of stakes for that.

Finally, can someone send me some testNEM?

Cheers!

I am sure if you found a security flaw in the code, that the devs would give you atleast a partial NEMstake as a reward.
I don't know any more specifics than that though.

As of now, NCC is Open Sourced not NIS. Bugs in NCC hardly affect the network.
Even so it's still possible to find bugs, and one person already did found a bug.

I didn't take the time to look at the code yet, but If I do and I find anything, I will not want any stake in return. As a stakeholder, having a great coin with a value that will grow over time is reward enough (and I'm sure this is true for most stakeholder). But Open source mean that anyone can look at the code, so if anyone find a way to manipulate the blockchain, they could use it for their own gain and therefore crash the value of NEM.

If NIS get open sourced, I think it wouldn't hurt to have a few persons look a the code from a security perspective. The idea of a "contest" is just to ensure we will have a few pairs of eyes looking at the code, but If we have some fellow NEMbsters with that particular background, that's even better.
