For security, a bug bounty would be easy to implement, e.g. “First person to send me the contents of the `/proof.txt` file from any of the servers gets 5000 ADA”. Incentivizes security people to check for low-hanging fruit type trivial vulnerabilities, and also to report problems to you instead of monetizing them in other ways.

That is actually a great idea.
Additional information: First come first serve so I will not pay the reward again. If someone does post the correct proof this forum post will be updated. Contest last month of August 2020. Please do not harm the servers in the process nor do anything illigal like stealing or using any keys of mine. Only get the content of the proof file.

So the security contest of August has now ended. One outer relay / webserver had a weaknesses that allowed hackers to learn information and a user was rewarded 500 ADA for this discovery. No user reported either files of the two core servers.

Happy new year everyone and an update from the pool for 2022:
A lot has happened since my post in 2020. Ada North Pool acquired the right to the pool, I am still the operator of it, and it is still a Single Pool. I have made quite a few articles in 2022 with my highlight being the chance to speak [Governance with Dr. Mihaela Ulieru](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=416iLMtGxlk)
Some other cool videos I did in 2022:

As part of NBX I created articles on Cardano together with the team at NBX here are some of them:

[Staking: Delegation in Cardano Proof-of-Stake Model Explained](https://nbx.com/blog-en/delegation-in-cardano-proof-of-stake-model)
I also made a few medium articles: In honor of Cardano on the rocks

I also where part of the crew for the Cardano Oslo Summit 2022 and both presented and lead panels and me and the wife where sorting out merch and giving out and greeting everyone attending:
[Cardano Oslo Summit 2022 video list](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_V5jvE9SjrE&list=PLch2QV-IiKy4_OFZx0KXIg7XwEReqtTpt)
I am happy to finally get some traction on the staking community in Norway during 2022 and I can see the community is slowly growing. Many during the summit asked for a place for the Norwegian community to talk with each other and we plan to announce a discord for this soon (me and the other crew from the summit).

some comments on my goals:
1. Become a company in Norway once we see if we have stable income.
I actually got acquired by one the major industry building families in norway that has both the Norwegian airlines and Norwegian bank behind them and now Norwegian block exchange. This allowed me to dedicated myself even further to Cardano in 2022.
2. Preparing for smart contracts with possible aiming to become an oracle for smart contracts if needed by the Cardano protocol. (currently learning Haskell).
I have done courses on Atala Prisim as well as being a Plutus cohort. I have finished my first project at NBX in around 8 months and learned a lot about how to plan and work with other developers.
3. Add an extra fiber for redundancy together with 5G. Combined with already installed UPS we should have a very redundant system that is on site and monitored every day.
I actually now have 3 ISP’s with Starlink as the 3rd. It is still going to be a bit spotty connection until they get more satellites up but I am getting there with redundancy 🙂
4. Considering also hosting web pages for other pool operators as our server capacity is underutilized as a favor to the network
Instead of this I am actively supporting other staking pools in Norway with my knowledge and the community we are building locally such as a Norwegian cardano discord.
5. Possibly going ahead with one of my ideas (Family Connect) to help family members abroad efficiently allow other family members onshore to spend money without large losses in transfer fees and helping merchants enable this and other services for merchants so they would wish to adopt this service see: [Possible idea for family economic connection](https://forum.cardano.org/t/possible-idea-for-family-economic-connection/25247)
This I have not done but I have supported World Mobile that will have similar financial apps.
1. Possibly looking into making a legal DSL for Cardano:
[Bitlaw a legal system with a DSL for Cardano governance](https://forum.cardano.org/t/bitlaw-a-legal-system-with-a-dsl-for-cardano-governance/18887)
Still on my potential list for the future to work on domain specific languages helping both in legal and governance matters.
2. Actively pursue social contracts / alliances between pool operators and community to strengthen the ecosystem.
I am still part of the inter staking pool peering agreement as well as the guild of operator as well as arm alliance as well as single pool operators.
3. Possibly engaging into the Norwegian Cardano community to develop and nourish it further with information and support.
I think this I took quite to heart and I am working on the ground in all different shapes and forms to introduce new people to crypto in Norway to Cardano. For example, I have been doing breakfast & coffee meetings with slides explaining Cardano.
