Rob Hamilton reports that someone asked whether they could join the red team, that after a two-minute conversation they tried the problem themselves and made substantial progress, and that there is nothing special about it: you just hunt for bugs. Held as a small dated record of how the red-team effort was recruiting and framing itself in its second week, alongside the status posts already in the register at rob1ham-2084523368783438198 and rob1ham-2085047535807180895. It contains no finding, names no project and identifies no vulnerability. Hamilton is AnchorWatch's chief executive, a conflict disclosed throughout this register. The account of the exchange is his own.

This post is registered as evidence and has a locally held capture. The original remains the canonical publication.
