>Terms of bug bounty are very hard to satisfy even with bad protocol but Durov seems decided to play safe with such amount of money. Guy that found problem in MTproto doesn’t win money according to conditions of the bug bounty because message is not decrypted.

The guy gets $100 000:

At first my statement is still valid even after Durov decided to pay for bug report. This bug report has no connection with extracting plain message I've written.

Apart from that I can't check Durov's posts that from the future. My post was written before Durov's announcement.

Technically you're right. I thought that “decided” wasn't the right word to use before you give him a chance to decide. In other words, I read your post as conveying the idea that Pavel actively dismissed the bug report as unworthy of rewarding, when in fact the opposite was true. Perhaps I misread your post being a non-native English speaker. Apologies for that.

Sorry if I have not been clear, I am non-native speaker too.
