June 2019: ARK GitHub Development Bounty Program
The month of June is now over and we had a lot of great community contributions. A big thank you goes out to our community developers who are regularly helping us improve our codebase and who make the ARK community the best in the industry!
We remain sincerely grateful for those who contribute on a regular basis and are excited to see several new faces this month — shout out to the new developers joining our program (first contributions): lemii, jdar, kylelobo and dileepajayakody. Be sure to spread the word about our bounty program to help us get more developers involved and contributing to the ARK Ecosystem.

We have several open issues that have fixed bounties assigned to them (we call these Tier 0 and Tier 1 projects). You can see the list below and choose one to tackle by requesting to be assigned to it on GitHub. In the upcoming weeks you can expect much more of the predefined Tier 0 and Tier 1 tasks as we refine this process, along with more Desktop Wallet related Tier 0 projects. We will list them in their respective repositories along with posting them here monthly.

Special Contributions
alessiodf— $150 USD
Alessio reported a potential problem which can cause inconveniences for end users where the transaction pool rejects transactions that are older than 6 hours or from the future. But this does not apply when the pool is bypassed allowing forgers to selectively forge expired transactions. This will no longer be fundamentally possible in Core v2.5 as blocks with expired or future transactions are discarded on the protocol-level.
