Currently, these projects heavily rely on proprietary design software called Figma.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The goal is to provide developers with free access to a Bitcoin UI guide, allowing for more streamlined and user-friendly experiences.<\/p>\n<p>Another challenge aims to expand and strengthen the development of\u00a0<strong>Nostr<\/strong>, an open-source and censorship-resistant social network.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nostr, backed by\u00a0<strong>Jack Dorsey<\/strong>, has gained significant attention in recent months, particularly among the more technically inclined crypto community.<\/p>\n<p>The HRF is also offering bounties to\u00a0enhance Bitcoin wallets.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>One specific challenge involves the ability to generate and memorize seed phrases when crossing borders, as this is a common practice for users seeking to maintain privacy and security.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Supporting this practice worldwide aligns with the HRF&#8217;s mission to promote financial freedom for dissidents and human rights activists.<\/p>\n<p>The 20 BTC funding for these bounties comes from the HRF&#8217;s Bitcoin Development Fund, a branch of the organization dedicated to expanding financial freedom.<\/p>\n<h2>Bitcoin Activists Can Make Submissions Until December 2024<\/h2>\n<p>The HRF team said they welcome applications for these bounties until December 31, 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>All submissions will be shared with external industry experts for verification, the team said, adding that any unclaimed bounties will be allocated back to the HRF&#8217;s Bitcoin Development Fund.<\/p>\n<p>This is not the first time the HRF has launched a Bitcoin bounty program.<\/p>\n<p>In December 2021, the organization partnered with the Lightning Network payments platform Strike for a similar initiative. The contest consisted of three challenges, each worth 3 BTC, and ran until December 31, 2022.<\/p>\n<p>By offering bug bounties, the HRF aims to encourage developers to contribute to the improvement of Bitcoin&#8217;s usability, privacy, and security.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Human Rights Foundation is supporting open-source developers working to increase the usability and privacy of the Bitcoin and Lightning network, E-cash, and Nostr, inspired by HRF\u2019s research around the world with regard to what kind of functionality activists need today in their digital tools,&#8221; the team said in the recent announcement.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptonews.com\/news\/human-rights-foundation-backs-bitcoin-bug-bounty-empower-activists-worldwide.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Human Rights Foundation (HRF) is offering\u00a0Bitcoin (BTC)\u00a0bug bounties in a bid to improve Bitcoin and the\u00a0Lightning Network.
