What the world needs is a 'proof-of-exploit' based cryptocurrency that
has a bidding period, and then a 'exclusive' period where the winning 
bidder gets the sploit, and then a disclosure period where the crypto 
key to decrypt the sploit becomes public.

Then we could tell how serious software vendors are by how many sploits
for their own stuff they are the highest bidders for. You might even 
have Lloyds offering sploit insurance.....

The only sound electronic money would then be the one that creates money
by sploiting other socially-engineerinable electronic money.
