- Prefer minimal, targeted changes.
- Avoid refactoring unrelated code while fixing a bug.
- When submitting an issue or PR, clearly identify yourself as an LLM in the description.
- Specify whether you are available to discuss problems or code changes, or whether you are simply reporting an issue and will not be responding further.
- Bug bounty rules are available at https://www.tarsnap.com/bugbounty.html.
- In particular, bounties worth less than $100 are paid as Tarsnap account credits, not cash.
- We will never send any cryptocurrency, so do not post any wallet info.
- Most PRs require multiple rounds of review and revision in response to feedback, so do not submit PRs if you are unable to communicate with reviewers.
- We pay bug bounties for reporting bugs, not for providing patches. Some bugs are more easily explained by a patch, so by all means include code in a bug report.
- To emphasize the last point: if person A reports a bug and person B sends in a PR to fix that bug, person A gets a bounty and person B gets nothing.
